Getting Better by Natasha

We learned to play Badminton in the gym. We first tried to balance the shuttlecock on the racquet. Then we practised holding the racquet down and hitting the shuttlecock towards the ceiling. I chose a partner and practised hitting the shuttlecock over the net. It was hard hitting the shuttlecock over the net, but I got it after a while.  We played who could hit the shuttlecock the furthest. Then we had a competition to play against  another team. Me and Allan played against Vikki and Brennan. Me and Allan won the game. I am getting good at Badminton and I can’t wait to play Badminton next week and it will be one of my favourite sports.

Today we learnt about April Fools Day

Today we learnt about April Fools Day

April Fools' Day (sometimes called All Fools' Day) is celebrated on 1 April every year. It is not a national holiday, but is widely recognized and celebrated in various countries as a day when people play practical jokes and hoaxes on each other called April fools.

We played practical jokes on each other

It was very funny when I went to Val's class to ask for "Free Money." Val laughed and she said I don't have any free money but I have free lollies. By Natasha

It was funny when someone had stolen our chairs. We had to sit or lay down on the floor. By Vikki

It took us a long time to find them

All of Edgewater College had a fire drill. 

We had to evacuate the building.

There was no fire!

I really liked it when Bradley said the soap was empty and fooled Kevin. By Allan

It was jokes. I thought it was amazing. By Nathan.

I liked it when I went to Val's class to ask for "Free Money" it made me laugh. By Brenann.

Well done Kevin. You pranked me from when I got out of the taxi. Since you pranked me I started to set off a chain of pranks by myself. By Bradley

Our Maths Garden Term 1 2014

We cleaned our garden by pulling all the weeds out.
