Bike Safety Week 

On the 10th week of Term 2 the Senior Syndicate did bike safety with Iris, Sam, Lucy and Vanessa. They were teaching us how to get our bike licence for riding on the road. We were practising on the back field by riding over pieces of wood arranged as obstacles and riding around a roundabout made out of cones.

So, once we had done that we were then allowed out on the road, but before we did, we had to do the ABC check and the 4, 2, 1 for our bike and helmet.

The ABC check is – Air, Brakes and Chain.

The 4, 2, 1 check is – 4 straps from your helmet, 2 fingers of space on your forehead – for sight – and 1 – fingers space under your chin for the strap on your helmet. This is a safety check for your helmet.

Last week we went to The Young Einstein’s Competition. It was at Matua School – the team was: Erin Conway, Haley Palmer, Luke Maxwell and Matthew Cooney.

As we were driving to Matua in Luke’s mum Megan’s car we were practising general knowledge with some flash cards form a game in Luke’s car.

When we arrived we walked through the school to the hall - we went in and sat down at the table with our team name. We were Bethlehem One and the year fives were Bethlehem Two.

We were at the very back and the year fives were at the very front. As we sat down a man told us our instructions “in front of you there are nine sheets of paper, one for each round. You will need a writer - they will write the answers on the sheets” he said. “Each table has a runner who will take and bring things you need” he said. And the runner brought the pencil and the joker over. The joker was a card and if you played it for a round it doubled the points.

The first round was general and we played our joker I told them not to but we still did. The questions were really weird though for example one was about how many McDonalds were in the Mt maunganui and Tauranga area so we didn’t do very well that round, but because of the joker we got twelve points and we were winning. The next six rounds were all boring but then at the seventh round it was really close - it was us then Otumoetai, then Matua. Then in the seventh round Otumoetai played their joker and they took the lead. But in the eighth round Matua played their joker and they took second place and that was the last round.

So in the end Otumoetai came first, then Matua, then it was us the last team to progress to the Western Bays. So we were happy in the end but a little annoyed. Hopefully we will do better at Western Bays. It was really fun.
