Busted!

Lunchtime is always interesting at school.  You can see such a diverse range of happenings in a small area in a short space of time.  Activities range from rugby, to elastics, to ‘Can we throw the ball onto the shade cover without it getting stuck?’ to ‘How do we get the ball off the shade cover now that it’s stuck?’ to general running around to sitting in the library to eating the pasta we made at technology this morning to playing ‘Busted’.

I was introduced to the game of Busted yesterday lunchtime. It’s a modified game of tag involving the adventure playground.  The rules are actually very well thought out but I must have been slow to catch on as I did find myself being ‘in’ a lot!

Tomorrow Kereru are Skyping Caroline Bently School in Illinois, USA. They’re keen as to be here at 8:15am to be involved and then repeat the dose with a school in Florida on Friday. If they get any keener we’ll have them here at 6am! We looked up the school on Google maps today and were surprised to find it is surrounded by 15 baseball diamonds, no doubt that will be a hot topic tomorrow.

We plan to make contact with other year levels in a range of schools so all of our classes have the opportunity to Skype.  We will endeavour to find schools that share our time zone so that they are done in school time.
