On Wednesday last week we did some rippa rugby training with our
sports activator, Rory. First when we got out there we were cold so Rory got us
to run to the far tree on the school field and we were really warn after that. We played some games with him. We played a
game where we had to run to a cone and then run to the rugby ball that Rory
kicked in. There were two teams, red vs green. If we grabbed the ball before
the other person did we had to try and score a try and they had to try and rip
one of our tags off of us. After we played another game where we got into a
square made out of cones and there would be two people who had to try and rip
our tags off us. If your tag got ripped off, you had to go outside of the
square until the next round. In the next round there were three people who were
trying to rip our tags off us. There were different taggers each round. It was a very enjoyable training session. Many
of our senior students went on to use the skills they practised with Rory at
the Rippa tournament in Balclutha on 28 May.

Visiting Performers
On Wednesday 20 May, three performers came to Milton Primary
School . Their names were Kieran, Olly, and Emma.
They took a fairytale story like Jack and The Beanstalk and put it all into a
big play that went for an hour. It was about a boy called Jack, a Giant, and a
golden goose. There was a Giant that was throwing his rubbish over the side of
the cloud that he lived on and covered the land. They sang and danced and made
us laugh.At the end they let us ask them questions. It was a really good
performance and we all enjoyed it!

Year 6 Camp Stall
On Wednesday 13 May, the Year 6 children had their
camp stall. It was held in our classroom at lunchtime. There was a huge crowd of
people buying all sorts of things. It was amazing looking at all the different
things people were selling. We were selling things like baking, toys,
lollies, drinks, popcorn etc. We had to make posters saying what we were
selling at our stall, as well as the price. Most things were either $1.00 or
50c. The Year 6’s made $429.00 from the camp stall which was a huge success and
we really appreciate all the parent help we received to prepare our goods for
sale. Now we can’t wait until we head off to camp in November!

Road Safety
On the 5 May, Constable
Greer came down from Dunedin to teach us about road safety. We had to
bring along a bike with a helmet or a
scooter with a helmet. First we got told about a boy who became unable to move
his body because his head smashed against the side of the gutter when he wasn’t
wearing his helmet. We got taught what to do so that didn’t happen to us. We
tested if our brakes worked then everyone went around the playground on our
bikes. When we went around corners we had to put our arm out and point it the
way that we are going and after we did
the lap we had to look back at the sign that was being shown to us. After we
did that Constable Greer put out a ramp and that was to help us get our
confidence up. At the end we played a game when you get to the other side going
really slow and you weren’t allowed to put your feet on the ground. It was fun
to have a practical session on our bikes and we learnt some important things to
help keep us safe on the roads.
