Ms. Kreul’s Class Blog

Mr. Mac’s Class, here are our answers to the questions you asked.

Our class has been blogging since Oct. 2008. We blog at least once a week in school and also make comments to blogs from other classes. Some of us also blog after school or on the weekends from home.

There are 21 students in our class.

There are 726 students and 85 teachers and staff at our school.

The time difference between Adelaide, Australia and Whitefish Bay (Milwaukee) in Wisconsin is 15 hours and 30 minutes. So if it is 6:00AM here it would be 9:30PM there. Do you know that when we are all asleep, you are all awake? If it was March 27 here in Wisconsin, it would be March 28 in Australia. When there is a sunrise in Wisconsin, there is a sunset in Australia. We participate in Daylight Savings Time, do you?

Our weather here right now – on March 27 – is chilly but sunny. The temperature is around 30 degrees F but can get to about 40-45 on a nice day. Spring has just started here but it can still snow sometimes!

We have heard of these Aussie slang words – mate, boot, brumbies, barbie, lift, petrol, boot, and mob

We call our sports/fitness lessons Physical Education or Phy Ed or PE. We play basketball, run the pacer to see how fast you can go, do gymnastics, and play floor hockey. Next month we have two weeks of roller skating in Phy Ed class.

We have a sports day for 4th and 5th graders. For our sports day you do track and field. We do the 100 yard dash, 150 yard dash, and 400 yard dash. We do high hurdles and low hurdles. Do you have a sports day? If so, what do you do?

We emailed Mr. Mac a list of questions that we have for you. We looked at your blog and especially enjoyed looking at the photos of your class at Pt Noarlunga Beach. Looked like lots of fun – and warm!
