 Aloha guys. Today we had to do summer learning journey. I chose an acitivty that we had to choose a picture and color it in. I did watermelons

Do you think i did a good job?

Here is my coloring.

Athletics

Aloha guys, this week we had athletics. My year group first did high jump, then long distance, long jump, disus, shot put, then `sprints`. My favourite activity is sprints. 

For high jump I came 1st, for long distance idk what place I came, for long jump I came 2nd, discus I came 2nd, then for sprints I came first in the first heat then went into finals and came first for the finals. 

We did all the activities execpt for sprints becaue we were doing it as a whole school so the juniors can also join. whilst we were doing all the other activites  instead of doing sprints we just played games. I am really proud of myself. Here is a photo 

Swimming

 Aloha guys. 

The last week we have been going swimming at  Canterbury Swim School. Canterbury Swim School is a swimming place that teaches you how to swim. We first had to have showers before we get into the pool. I think we had to have a shower before we get into the pool just in case we had dirty stuff on us, the shower gets it all off.  We have learnt freestyle, backstroke ,kicking and more. I think I have improved at swimming the last week. Here are some photos

Poems

 Aloha, this week for writing we have been doing poems. The last week we have done two poems and they both had to be about a flower. The two types of poems we have been doing ar called, cinquain poem, and a haiku poem. We first started doing thwe cinquain poem and then did the haiku. When we had finshed our cinquain poems we went on to doing the haiku. If we did a flower in the cinquain we couldn't do the same in the haiku. we had to do two poems each. The flowers I did for the cinquain were, Jasmine flower and a blossom tree. For the haiku I did three poems and the flowers I did for that were, pinelands princess dahlilah, hibiscus and a forget me not flower.  Here are my poems and what a haiku and cinquain is.

Interclass sports

 Aloha guys, the last two weeks we have been doing interclass sports. 

Interclass sports is where your class has games against other classes.  The sports options were Netball, touch,football, hockey (you can choose to join as many as you want to do).   You vs other classses. 

I chose netball and touch. If you make it into the finals and win the finals then you get to vs the teachers. Our class is versing the teachers in touch and football. In netball we came 3rd place and in hockey we also came 3rd. Here are some photos

Cross Country Set Up

 Aloha guys, For the past week or 2 me and this group of people have been helping our teacher plan the cross country track. 

We first had to go to Kyle Park and figure out the cross country track for the year 1/2 the year 3 and the year 4/5/6. The year 1/2 are running 700m, the year 3 are running 1k and the year 4/5/6 are running 2k. The seniors have to run 2k to make it into zones. 

We then went onto my maps and drew the course on there. Me and my friend then wrote the newsletter for the cross country.

Our cross country is on Thursday the 15th of April.

Buddy Class

Aloha guys,  Today we had buddy class. For this week's activity we played outdoor games. They were called target throw, over and under and three legged races. we had to find our buddy's and sit down on the mat. I found my first buddy then I found my second buddy. One of my buddies puked so I had to take her to the office and Kersten called her mum. I came back and went to my other buddy. 

Then we had to split into three groups with our buddy. Me and my buddy were first at target throw.  There were two hula hoops in line to each other. The hula hoop that was the furtherest was five points and the one that was the closest was 2 points. We then got bean bags and started to throw the bean bags into the hula hoops.

Our second activity was a three legged race. We got the rubber things and put it around our ankles. Only one of our feet was allowed in the rubber thing at a time. I almost fell over. I did not.  Sadly we only had enough time to play two games. It was also mufti day

Football

 Aloha guys, today we played football. Some people from the Halswell Football club came to our school and played football with us. The people who came names are Stu and Liam.  

We first got into groups, there were 8 groups. I was in group 1 - team yellow. Then we played turtle tag, Turtle tag is just like tag but when you get tagged you lay on your back and someone has to lightly push you onto your tummy then your back up. Also if you tag someone they don't be a tagger. 

We then started to play football, But we played it a bit different. There were different ranks and if you won a game of football you had to go up a rank, but if you lost a game of football you had to go down a rank. My team won. 

Overall I really liked this way of playing football and I would play it again.

PALS

Aloha guys,  on Wednesday we had PALS. 

PALS stands for 'Physical Activity Leaders'  It started at 9:30 and finished at 2:00. 80 people from other school came to our school and did PALS with us. Ten people from each school was allowed to be included in PALS .

For pals we are got taught on how to run fun activity's for other kids at lunch time and  help with all the sport activities. It was really fun. 

The people who were running PALS first made us play games. We played bull rush, all in tag and some other games. They chose 3-7 people to lead the game and tell us how to play. It was really fun. We then had to make a poster about our school. Here is some photos of pals.
