Gym Class

In gym class we played king's court dodgeball and doctor dodgeball and volley ball.

I used to hold my hand wrong but Naomi showed me how to hold it.We use dodge balls. We also played castle dodgeball. It is like kings court but we need 6/six mats off the wall. For doctor dodgeball we use the same things but the mats off the wall. We need a doctor for the game. The doctor saves the person that is sitting down. The person sitting down is sick. The doctor touches the person that is sick. The unsick people help protect the doctor because if the doctor gets hit he or she can not be saved till all the people get hit. Then the other team is the winner.

Mr. Farquhar's Tree

Friday November ,5 2010 The New Tree

We planted a tree yesterday with Mr. Farquhar. It is a Japanese Maple. It was very rainy outside. We had do put some compost in the hole for the tree. We had to make sure there was enough soil in the hole for the plant to come up to the edge of the top of the hole. There were lots of worms in the soil that will help the plant grow. The reason Mr. Farquhar wanted to plant a tree when he retired was because he loved the nature and he loved trees. We planted it over by the outdoor center because no one can step on it there and it was also because he loves it there. When we were done we got a special treat.

Mr.Farquhar plants a tree with our class

Last Thursday Mr. Farquhar came to our class to plant a tree because when he retired he said he wanted a tree to be planted at our school and he loves the out door centre and trees. It was very cold and it was raining a little bit. I was one of the photographer's out of three. We all got lots of pictures. Hannah, Ava went out first with Rhinna, Keaton and Willam.S went out with Mr.Farquhar to dig the tree hole once they where done diging the hole the rest of the class went out to watch Mr.Farquhar plant the tree but the digers had to fill in some of the dirt to make the tree be leveled with the ground. Then he put compost in with the tree. After the tree was planted we went back inside and had some timbits. They were great!

Planting A Tree

On Thursday November the 4th Mr.Farquhar came to our school to plant a tree. He wanted to plant a tree because he loves nature and when he retired he wanted a tree planted. He choose Mrs.Dressel's class because last year he taught most of the students in her class. So first he got three people from Mrs.Dressel's class to dig a hole after we spotted some where to plant the tree. Then Mr.Farquhar choose two people from the year book in Mrs.Dressel's class to take photographs. Then the five people went outside and dug the hole. When they were done they invited the rest of the class to come outside and plant the tree with them. Mr. Farquhar put some compost in the hole and in the compost there was fruit, tea bags, orange peels, seeds and a lot of other things. While Mr.Farquhar was planting the tree the the rest of the class was watching him. When the tree was planted someone asked what the tree's name was so Mr.Farquhar told us to close our eyes and think of a name.Then when we thought of a name we opened our eyes and he said if you named it Japanese Maple you are exactly right. So everybody named their tree Japanese Maple but they added another name after Japanese Maple. After we planted the tree we came inside and had some timbits!!! It was super fun!!
