Top Team

On Friday a few weeks ago Top Team came to our school and
year five to eight participated. There were a series of challenges
and we were put into groups to do them. My favorite activities were the water activities because it was hot on the day. I would like to do it again next year. because it was a fun way to end the week and we got to build up our teamwork.

Has Top Team ever come to your School?

Tough Kids

On the 20th of November year three to eights did a fun obstacle 

course called Tough Kids. This was an event that was part of many 

schools so it was fun to mix and make some new friends. The 

obstacle was made in south new Brighton and had inflatable 

obstacles and water obstacle. I would definitely do this again 

if we could.

Reading Create Task.

For our reading create task this week we had to annotate a
poem and put what we visualize. Visualize using all of the
senses and talk about how this enriches meaning. For this
task we had to pick five to six sentences and comment
about what we visualized when we read it, here is the annotated poem.

Attitude Presentation.

Hi there, A few weeks ago we had an organization come in
and talk to the year 7/8 hub about
how we change physically
and spiritually as we grow
older. At first it felt a bit uncomfortable
but after we got to know the people that were teaching us and
got a bit more deeper into the discussion it didn't feel that
uncomfortable any more. We had two days of this and after the
people went we did some more study on it including Hauroa
which is the four sides of us.

Sport Reflection.

For the past few weeks, every Thursday we are doing 4 type of sports, Korfball, Softball, Cricket and Lawn bowls. I liked doing these sports because these sports are different not like Rugby, Football, Basketball and other sports like that. My favourite sport out of these is Korfball because it is like Netball and Basketball put together.

have you ever played Korfball?
