Athletics
Today we had our Junior athletics. We had 5 different activities to do. We started with the vortex throw, then we did long jump and mini hurdles. We then went to the sack race and then off to the sprints. Unfortunately it started to rain so we didn't get to do the egg and spoon race. We had a lot of fun doing each of the activities.

Answer to big question
Well done Tayla, Cody and Zara for answering last weeks big Question. The answer to last weeks big question is the Sloth. Ever heard someone called a “sloth” or “slow as a sloth” because they move really slowly? That’s because the sloth — especially the three-toed sloth — is the slowest animal around. Their legs and feet are shaped to hang from trees, so it’s actually hard for sloths to walk on the ground. They can’t run or stand upright on their feet. It would take a sloth nearly a month to walk one mile! Sloths don’t do much walking on the ground, though — they spend their lives hanging upside down in trees. They eat, sleep, and even have babies upside down!
Watch these videos to find out about the Sloth.

This is for an add campaign for the ANZ bank and the world cup rugby. We think this is pretty exciting.
