Do Not Bully Videos

Room 4 is learning about how bad bullying is.  Bullying is when you hurt people, steal stuff from people or lying to people.  This will make them feel bad or sad, sometimes they feel frightened.  A bully will try and look for someone to pick on.  Usually they are smaller or younger than them.  They might hurt them by carrying them and throwing them on the ground.  It is a very bad thing because bullies always get in trouble from the teacher.  If you bully then you won't have any friends.

We also found out while we were videotaping that it is not a good idea to get the person to stand in front of a window because the video comes out really dark.  Did you notice that too when you watched these videos?

Some more comments about horse trekking

The children really did seem to enjoy the horse trekking.  In fact some children liked it so much they wanted to share their thoughts and ideas on horse trekking with you.  We decided as a class to do it in one posting otherwise it might take you too long to find them and read them.

Tana

My horse jumped over some tree stumps and kept running.  It ran in front of the other horses. My horse keep walking and trying to get in front of Sativa's horse.  Her horse just kept walking and stayed in front of my horse.

Forde

Sid's horse went the wrong way.  His horse nearly bucked me off my horse. Portia's horse was the meanest because it kept biting everyone else's horse.

Justus

My horse never walked it just kept on galloping, especially close to the dangerous cliffs. 

Sativa

My horse just wanted to follow Shayna's and Luce's.  Their horses tried to bite my horse.

Te Heruika

My horse kept farting when it was by Katrina's horse.  When Yawden was talking to me, my horse kept trying to bite his horse's tail.  I kept trying to pull my horse back.

I wanted to see the pictures of me on my horse.

Small Schools Swimming Sports

Today I went to the Small Schools Swimming Sports.  We swam against Otewa, Hangatiki, St Mary and Maihiihi.  I was bored waiting so next year I want to be in more races.  The water was not that cold but it was kind of deep.  I thought it was much deeper on the other side and didn't want to sink so I was a little scared.  It was really exciting lining up for my race.  It was so hot though.  I was extremely thirsty by the time I finished because I was huffing and puffing across the pool.

And we were running on down the road.....

Running! (laa dee daa) Running! (laa dee daa)

I really liked the part when they were running and we had to sing.  They were doing a running action.  There was my brother Nicolas at the front.  He said “Can I move along with you?” because he was a cow.
