Giving, GB - Look after an egg for a week without breaking it

For a week I've been looking after a egg. I had to be responsible as I wanted to success this goal to not break the egg in a week. I achieved my goal to not breaking it.

What was the most challenging part of looking after the egg? That would probably trying to take it everywhere I go its so hard and also trying not to drop it.

Why did you choose this topic? Because I wanted to help with my responsibilities and I thought it would be fun to try.

Rimu house swimming sports

On the 22nd of March Rimu house walked down to Memorial park pools for swimming sports. The races I swam in were 25 freestyle,breaststroke, doggy paddle and the class relay. The highlight of the day for me was watching Hoani and Mr Mossop race for who can breath and swim the longest and unfortunately for Hoani Mr Mossop won. I enjoyed participating in the class relay and winning. A memory I would keep of swimming sports would be having a fun time with my friends and winning the class relay.

Water cycle

Water Cycle

1. I have learned the Water cycle phenomena and also what Evaporation and condensation means and what causes things to happen. 2. I liked working with a partner because sometimes I dont understand the job but if i'm with someone I can get help and also because I work well with people around me. 3. I had difficulty at one stage as I had production rehearsal so I had to catch up to finnish in time.
