The ShakeOut

On Wednesday the 26th September our class did the New Zealand ShakeOut. to do this you have to DROP/COVER/HOLD. That means you have to drop to the floor, cover your head and hold onto a desk leg. These are all the things you need to do in case of an earthquake.We did this because of the Christchurch earthquakes and that New Zealand has had many earthquakes.Earthquakes happen because the plates under the ground bang together.We did this at the time 9:26.In a real earthquake we would do this. Remember to DROP/COVER/HOLD in a earthquake.   K.J.T                                           

THE GYMNASTICS COMPETITION

On Thursday 6th September our amazing Botany Downs School were taking part in the Gymnastic Festival at Howick Gymnastic Club. It was so fun taking part. My best thing was the beam and floor. We all did very well but the year 6 girls did not get at place to go to the champions of champions.
But it was amazing just going. I love doing this so if there is one next year I will do it.  G.H.

Gymnastics Comp 2012

On Thursday 6th September we did a Gymnastics comp. It was really fun because I think I did really well. On my vault I got 7.03, for my beam I got 8.00 and for my floor I got 9.00 . Before we started to do anything the person in charge said a big ''Welcome'' and then we did some warm up excercises. It was a really fun workout. Next we needed to find out where we were going. First we went and did a vault. Next we moved to the beam and last we did our floor exercises. I hope I could do it next year. N.W
