Athletics Day

On Tuesday the year 5/6's went to Saxton Field for an interschool athletics day. We went around 6 different events and then finished with the relays. We won the Year 6 boys relay and the Year 6 girls relay.
We enjoyed the 200m race and the hurdles.
It was a really hot day and we were all exhausted by the end of the day!

The Amazing Top Team

On Sunday 2 Ranzau teams took part in Top Team 2011 at Saxton Stadium. It was Awesome! There were some really fun and challenging activities. Our favourite activity was the one with gumboots and water, you had to transport water in gumboots that you were wearing. Another fun one was the horse one, we lapped Richmond primary in that one. Sophie was the Jockey most of the time but Ollie,Tom and Britney also had a turn. It was so much fun even though we didn't win.

Pet Day

Last Tuesday we had Pet Day, lots of people brought pets. We had an interchange with our buddies so we could do activities in the different classes. The kittens in room 3 were really cute and a few people got to hold them. After morning tea we went round the classes to see everyone elses caged pets. Ollie had a pretty bad experiance when Jacobs cat made a swipe at him (everyone thought the cat was pretty stressy!) After lunch we had the larger animals at the ring. We had a dog obediance display and the dogs were very speedy! Some other dogs were not so obediant. We also had lamb drinking races and Abbeys lamb won. Then we had the Horses and they were super awesome especially when Jessica had to talk about them. We had a best dressed pet and a Grand parade. To finish pet day Rohan showed his pigeons that know how to get home no matter how far away they are.
Everyone enjoyed pet day.

Ballroom Dancing

On Friday we started ballroom dancing lessons with Paul. We learned a waltz and a cha cha. It was fun. Some of us did not like the idea of dancing with a partner but we got over it.
