On Friday we had 3 challenges for our new topic which is make it work my favourite challenge was the marshmallow challenge. For this challenge you had to make a tower of marshmallows and spaghetti sticks and the tallest tower wins. My group made it work by making a base and the putting the marshmallows through the sticks. Our challenge was making it not fall over but in the end we came 2nd last.

Coming up this term is that we are having our winter Tournament for the winter tournament l am playing rugby and my position is Halfback if l was not a halfback l would be a wing or a first-five.

On Wednesdays l have rugby practices and have a game on Saturdays and normally run`s or walk`s to school. At school I train for winter tournament on Tuesday and Thursdays for a couple of weeks. At the end of the day I get of the bus and run home which is 1 km.
If l was the boss of the school l would let the students have really long holidays and weekends and when it is cold outside they would get a day of school.You would to wear mufti every day and get free pizza instead of milk or you can get chocolate or strawberry milk if you want. l would feel sorry for the teachers for coming to school when it is raining or in the cold then they would get a day of work and still get paid. In the class rooms kids will get an iPad each installed with minecraft and the top 10 games in the world including subway surfers.
Arrowsmith have been doing swimming since last Monday, at the Ashburton Community pool. My skill l have been learning is breast stroke it is really hard. To do Breast stroke you have to keep you knees together and bring them in and bend them then twist your legs out wards. Then you kick really hard finally you have to keep your legs straight for about 3 seconds and do it all over again in till you get it right. So next time you go swimming try Breast stroke. BY Ryan
