Congratulations to all reps, you played strong and hard today, and you all showed great spirit and commitment. Well done  :)

Great news for Naomi, Michael and Hafiz - who have all been selected for the regional team.

They will have to play a couple of games and have the chance to be selected for the NSW state team. We wish them all the best for these HUGE games next term.

We are extremely proud of all our reps - go you good guys!!!

Here are some questions for you:

Have you ever played soccer?

Do you play for a soccer team?

Do you like soccer?

We’ve started training for our cross country carnival that will be held in May.

We huff and puff through two laps of the oval, and we time ourselves so that we can get faster and faster!

Sandy is showing the most improvement so far - she has wiped two minutes off her times already!

 Well done everone else - keep trying and improving your times     ;)

District Athletics Reps

Congratulations to the AllStar athletics representatives.

They spent a beautiful day yesterday running, jumping, throwing, hurling and having fun out of school.

They all performed to the max and should be proud that they had the opportunity to be part of this carnival.

I competed in the shot put and discus and running. I had to run 200 metres but I didn’t place.   Josh

In the 200 metre running heat I came first and the finals are next week. I also won the Junior Girls long jump with a jump of 3.15 metres. I will go to the regional carnival for long jump :)       Naomi

I competed in the Senior Girls long jump - I didn’t ask how far I jumped, but I didn’t make it to the next level.     :(   Nancy

I did the discus at the carnival - the disc is a particular weight and you have to throw it the furthest distance. I didn’t manage to throw it very far.  :cry:  Gloria

 I jumped in the high jump - I jumped one metre high, but the others jumped even higher. :)  Kesaia

What a Busy Week!

What a great week we’ve had  :lol: 

Everyone has been busy writing,  creating, and posting about what they have been up to! We could choose how we wanted to present our information - some people chose to write about it, others used Rock You, ToonDoo or Newspaper Generator. Check out these blogs    :idea:

“Speed Blitz Blues” bombard Belmore with bags of balls :)

Today Emma, a rep from the NSW Cricket Association (Speed Blitz Blues teams), visited our school to  advertise cricket and how much fun it is to play.

We got to practise 3 important cricket skills:

In our groups of three, we went to each activity and had a couple of turns at each skill.

At the end Emma gave everyone a showbag with goodies inside! There were stickers, Milo munchies, a DVD, a poster, a soft cricket ball and some advertisements.

Ramiz, our future Aussie Cricket star, answered a question correctly) and won a water bottle for himself. GOOOOOOOOOO Ramiz                :cool:  

Watch out Warney!!!!!!! AllStars are after you!    :lol:
