New Zealand inventors

 In our reading group, our learning has focussed on New Zealand innovators and inventors.


I chose to learn about the jetpack because I think that they are really cool because of how the jet engines on them work and how you can go up and down on them.


I found out that the man that created the jetpack was called Glenn Martin.

Ormond Olympics


Last week we did athletics at Ormond school on Wednesday the 11th of August 2021.


I really enjoyed doing the high jump because I  found out that I can jump 90cm and I came third.


Something that was a bit tricky was the throw because I can't throw far and I had a sore hand .


I was really proud of myself in the running because I came second place in the 200m sprints. 


I really liked the fun events in the afternoon because we did three-legged races, sack races, gumboot throwing and tennis ball on a spoon race.
