Jorden's Horse Riding at Rough Island

Jorden's Horse Riding Story

On Sunday I went riding in the Winter Woolies at Rough Island. My ponies name is Bart Simpson. Miss T came to watch me. I felt good because Miss T came to watch me. I won four ribbons. I dressed up as a hunter and Griffon dressed up as a deer. It was freezing. It was a cool day.

We run the morning program

Every morning the Star of the Week takes the class for the morning routines. We let the class know what the timetable for the day is, get them to sing the 'goodmorning boogie', sort the responsibilities chart, do the 'today is song'and count down the number of days till our 100 day party. Then we have to line up the class (which is the hard part) and take them out to tidy up our area and do our fitness.

Looking After Ourselves.

Desiree Heywood came to teach us about washing our hands. By Isabel

Desiree works as a nurse. By Paige

Desiree told us if you play in the garden you will still have germs on your hands and she taught us how to wash our hands properly. By Isabella.


We learnt to wash our hands so we don't get germs and don't give germs to others. By Nicole



She read us a story about Tama who didn't wash his hands and got a tummy ache. We learnt all about how germs can make us sick and how it is important to wash between our fingers, finger nails and our palms of our hands. We were told to wash our hands for 1/2 minute which is about the same time as singing Happy Birthday and the same amount of time to dry our hands as germs like the wet and grow much quicker in the wet so we need to make sure we dry our hands properly.

We learnt a saying - Do what you oughta, wash your hands with soap and water.

Thank you for teaching us how to wash our hands Desiree
