Eel Scientist - Don

Eel Scientist

On Friday the 22th of March the whole batten team gathered in Room 4 to meet Don,

a Eel Scientist. Don told us that eels eat smaller eels and also that eels are slimy so that they can squeeze through tight spaces. Secondly that if they grab their food then they try and spin to rip their food. Thirdly there are 19 Species of eels and that little ducklings can be a eels food which is the same with crabs. Next they spend most time in freshwater and then when it's time for them to breed they go to Tonga. Another fact is that lots of eels have really great sense a smell if something dead that's in water and eels don't like the sunlight. Long fin Eels are fatter than short fin eels. Something else that I learnt is that eels are very hard to tell how old they are and lastly is that lots of eels eyes are very good for night when they are hunting for there food like Ducklings, Crabs or Meat.

Refugee day post

Refugee day

On Thursday the 4th of April we had a Refugee day as we had to think of those who
are in South Sudan. So we decided that the whole batten team would make some 
shelters to look like Refugee's which has also linked into are R.E.

When me and my group Joshua H, Jaxon and Ethan thought that we would make 
kind of like a house but very small. It had to fit us so we taped some more cardboard onto our shelter to make it bigger to fit us. Next when Matt and Bridget
left we had to go and do some more upgrades to our Home's.

After a little bit of Upgrades to our House's, the Batten team would have to eat some 
rice that was cooked up. We had to use No forks or Spoon's, Only hands to eat our rice. Some people went up to the teacher's for seconds for rice. I did not have a second cup of rice.

Next after we did Mindfulness, We had like about twenty minutes to finish it and we make some last upgrades to our house. When the last alarm went sadly time was up.
After I cleaned and helped out. I felt very happy that we had this chance to do this
and I also felt sad that we had to pack up.

KORFBALL

On Week 9 we got to do some Korfball on Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday. It was very fun When our class got to play goofballs. Korfball is a mixture of basketball and Netball.On are turn of Korfball there was a different person
called Yuri. Yuri was teaching us and he was very fun when he was are coach.

HOW TO PLAY KORFBALL

1.First you have to be split into two even groups for example like 2 girls and two boys on each team

2.The 1st rule is that you cannot have any contact with anyone who has the ball in there hands

3.The 2nd rule is if someone drops it and it is rolling somewhere you cannot kick it if someone else is going to catch it from the other team

4.The last rule that is very important is that if someone is about to score a goal inside the hoop you can only defend
