Swimming sports day recount

On Tuesday, Our house had a swimming sports day. First, we  hiked down to the memorial pool. Our classteacher Ms Mills was driving her car down there with us and she took several photos of us, too. On the left is one of the photos. To me, the path seemed very long and exhausting!

Finally, when we arrived there, we got changed  and our house teachers instructed us  what to do at the swimming pools and not to do.After that, we started our swimming competitions!

Soon, we were absolutely, dancing in the swimming pools.  In competitions, we did lots of very fun strokes, such as breastroke, 

freestyle, and butterfly. Also, I did pretty well in some strokes, that I got selected

for Rm 41`s class relay team. So I got to swim 50m freestyle in the end of the day.

It was so awesome, because people

cheered a lot at us, and I did my very best!

Monday tech - music

Today, on Monday, we first learned how to play guitar, keyboard, and ukelele. We learnt how to play several songs and Mrs Storey our music tech teacher helped us when we got stuck. Playing the keyboard was quite easy, because the chords were quite basic. However after playing the Guitar, the Ukelele felt quite uneasy to play and extremely small. But it was an amazing music session.

However, at last, we got our music assessment from the tests that Mrs Storey did on us, on the chords.

Why don`t we want these animals on the NZ bush?
- Possums -

Possums come from Australia and is native to it. However, and surprisingly, they are not in New Zealand, and is considered harmful to the nature. Also they`re a great threat to the native NZ bushes.

Firstly, possums invade the native NZ animal`s habitats, especially the native birds. They fight over foods, and feed on the birds. They also destroy the native bushhes because the eat the fruits from the trees and the plants, which is NZ`s pride.

Secondly, Possums can interfere in the natural food supplies for some other animals, like bats, lizards and even insects.

Finally, there is no particular natural predator that preys on possums so their populations have been dramatically increasing and ruin the native bushes.
