Volleyball game
On Wednesday after morning tea room 3 had kiwi sport. We played volleyball in 4 teams on the one court. I liked serving the ball to the opposition team. Especially if we got points because the other team didn't get the ball back to us. It was very hot running in the sun. I had to move positions on the court and change ends for different games.

Yesterday Year 8 had a Google Expedition using Google cardboard to look at lots of different places around the World. Two of the places I liked the best were the Ocean Safari and Dubai.
In the Ocean Safari the pictures were taken under the sea, Some of the pictures were taken in a cage looking out at bullnose sharks. They also showed us a picture of a very large humpback whale that was twenty-two metres long.
We saw the tallest building in the world in Dubai called the Burj Khalifa building from the forty-third floor. I liked the tall building it is very new and shiny.
