Daffodil Day

Today some of us dressed up for Daffodil Day. We put our coins on the daffodil after we had counted the money in our room. We had $22.00 and some people had already put their money on the daffodil before school so we worked out we would of had more than $30.00. Lots of us know people who have cancer, have had cancer or who have died from cancer.
We hope the whole school has raised heaps of money to help the Cancer Society help families in the Nelson area.

Tennis

On Tuesday afternoons we go to tennis coaching with Ngaire for 30 minutes. We do downers and uppers. We make a ball roll around the racquet. Today we had to get into groups of four to play a game called Chimps and Champs. We had to serve by throwing the ball over arm to the other side of the net. If the person caught it after one bounce they threw it back underarm. Sometimes we threw too hard and the ball went out. We also played a game with a partner. One person threw the ball underarm and the other person held the racquet with one hand, stood at the net and had to smash the ball back to the thrower.
