How to make juggling balls

We are learning about clowns and things that they do. Mrs Osborne gave us the instructions and demonstrated step by step how to make them. We then watched Syardhana and Jacob see if they could follow the steps and how tricky some of the steps are! Great team work guys.

The rain in Spain does not fall on the plains!

Dear Room 9 friends
I am lying on my bunk feeling very tired. every day after our walk we feel exhausted and then after a rest we are ready to start again.

Great questions everyone. Yes it was bumpy on the plane and yes Evie your flight bags were great. It took about 30 hours to get to Spain.

It is much warmer in Spain and it is autumn so everywhere leaves are turning golden colours.

on the track I have been nibbling black berries, grapes, plums and apples. I saw a really intetesting frog one day but it might have been a toad. I am learning to speak spanish and say hola - hello to everyone I meet. Most nights we are staying at places where hardly anyone speaks english. I have met people from Chile, BraZIL . . .
TAKE CARE EVERYONE X X X

Hi from Singapore

Dear Room 9 friends
We have a four hour wait at Changi Airport in Singapore. It is now 11.15pm and it feels as if we have been flying forever!!!!  We got off the plane and the heat was amazing. Next we fly to Paris and hopefully it will be easy to sleep. I loved looking at your blog posts Belinda - what an expert! Ask me questions children. I'll check in again soon.

Take care
Love from Mrs Wright x x x

Arabic food

What a great way to travel around the world without leaving room 9. Not only did we learn to write in Arabic, we had a taste of what their food is like. Humus on crackers was a big hit with everyone, however the dates turned out to be an acquired taste. Olivia thought they were yummy she said.. her face may tell a different story! Lily stuck with the humus as she thought the dates weren't nice. Noah said the dates were nice. What a great idea Mrs Wright. We wish you well as you actually do get to travel - enjoy the walk and we look forward to hearing all about it when you are back.

Arabic writing lesson

On Friday we all enjoyed our Arabic writing lesson. It took great concentration and attention to detail. Look at Kerah and Andrew (top) Syardhana (middle) and Ethan. Good effort room 9. It was interesting and we enjoyed the challenge.

Gymnastics experts

Look at how far we have all come with our gymnastics in the last couple of weeks. We can all cross the beam with confidence - a great example Jacob, a lovely straight body, eyes up and arms out. If you look at the top photo you will see us doing our forward rolls, skipping and hula hooping. Our hula hoop skills are amazing, look at Sam go! Hunter is doing a great job at keeping the small ring going around his arm. The forward rolls straight onto the box has been a challenge, well done Andrew showing us her how it is done.

A skype call with Qatar

Today Bridget and Scott woke up very early so that they could skype with us at 2.30pm. It was about 5.30am for them. It was so good chatting with them  and asking yet more questions. Bridget even took her laptop out on to her balcony so that we could look at Doha, the city where they live in Qatar. She said it was a cool 28 degree morning!  Thank you so much Bridget and Scott.
