FIFA fever!!!

The FIFA World Cup in South Africa starts on the 11th of June! Have a look at this cool video which features the 2010 World Cup anthem Wavin' Flag by K'Naan.

To celebrate the World Cup (and to increase our fitness) we are participating in the My Greatest Feat challenge. This week we will get a pedometer to wear so that we can measure our steps. Each day we'll log into the My Greatest Feat website (see the link at the side of the page) and enter our steps. Then we'll be able to travel on a virtual journey through South Africa and unlock cool facts about the NZ soccer team the All Whites.

Leave a comment if you can answer either of these questions:
1. We start at Peter Mokaba stadium in Polokwane. What direction will we travel to get to the second location on the map?
2. FIFA is an acronym. What do the letters stand for?

Katharine's Dragon



Jarrod's Dragon


Casper's Dragon



Gabriel's Dragon

George's giant!

George's giant is not your typical giant. Have a listen!

The cool characters keep coming!!!

Back to School by Meredith Badger is about a girl, Chloe, going back to school after the holidays and how she has to get used to being in a new classroom. It has funny pictures and I really enjoyed reading it.
