Sarah Walker came to school

 

Olympic silver medalist Sarah Walker came to our school yesterday. She was very interesting to listen to. Here is a few photos to share what she did while she was at school.

 

 Sarah signed some people's helmets and hats.

 

Sarah let us touch her Silver medal from the 2012 London Olympics. It is very heavy because it is real silver.

We were all very interested to hear stories from her childhood and the moment that she wanted to become an Olympic competitor.

Enjoying the sun

Room 7 had a lovely time buddy reading in the sun with Room 3 this afternoon.

Homework

It is great to see the class coming up with different ideas to share where the olympic games have been hosted over the years.

Book reviews

This term we have been writing book reviews to share great books that we have read and others may want to read. We have a folder on our book shelf to help us choose a great book. At library time we have been sharing books that we have read. 
A review must have:

• What type of text it is e.g., non fiction or fairy tale etc.
• A short description of the book
• Why we liked it or didn't like it
• Who would like to read the book

It was great to see the children very enthusiastic about racing in the cross country. Many of the children achieved the goals that they set. Tomorrow we will have a reflection about our goals.
