Constable Bush and Cyber Safety

This afternoon Constable Sue Bush spoke to us about cyber safety. Wow. Pretty interesting. Did  you know you have to be 13 to have a facebook page and anyone can see it!!? No one in Room 5 had a computer in their own bedroom. Never give out personal information on the internet and a chat room is like a big stadium where everyone can read your stuff. For more tips of internet safety she said to go to www.netsafe.org.nz .

Kiwi Sports Day

Today all of Wairakei had Kiwisport Fun Day. They got to try out 3 of the 4 sports, Aussie Rules, Basketball, Marching and Indoor Bowls.
Jonty said: "Personally what I would recommend is the Aussie Rules.
The marching was rather slow and we didnt' have anything like a marching game.
Overall I would recommend kiwisport as a fun to do, but would be better with more sports."

My favourite was basketball. It was absolutely brilliant because we did lots of cool games. Next time I would like to do indoor bowls."- Fiona

"I learnt to kick and pass a aussie rules ball and marching isn't just walking. It's about how you walk, line up and hand position. Basketball was the most fun sport. Next I'd like to do kiwisport dodgeball!" - Josephine.

"It was fun learning about AFL. You learn more when you listen."- Jack N.

"I liked basketball because of the fun tournaments. I'd like to do dodge ball next at kiwisport because it is popular at school." - Yuuta.

"I learnt that you had to have an efficient walk in Marching. We played some amusing games in basketball."- Sondos.

"I got an x on my hand for fair play and I got a treat. It was amazing how we learnt lots of new things in that short period of time." -Shardae

"I won a prize for working hard. I loved basketball. It was brilliant." - Grace.

"I did pretty good at Aussie Rules. I did a brilliant kick to Scott."

"...I won the best shooter and my team won at basketball."- Analeigha

" I enjoyed AFL and basket ball because they were quite easy to play. I think I'll work on my hoops."- Amanda.

"My favourite was AFl because you learnt to punch the ball but it hurt. Next I'd like to do dodgeball." - Max.

"We played a game called Octopus with the basketballs. I liked that game."
