P.E

For this DLO I have picked out a picture of myself trying out the long jump and got a picture of a professional athlete doing the long jump. In comparison we have the the same position in landing. We both landed in a motorcycle landing which really helps you balance on your foot.

Maths Competition

Today for maths we went on quizezz which is a maths site. The whole class went on the site and we were competitive. We were so competitive to be at least be first, second or third. This really helped us with our maths. We had a lot of fun to start with but then went competitive between 2 people. The equations were really easy but went harder and harder. We had to work in partner and I was with Victoria. We at least got over 14th place.

Stig Wemyss

On Friday afternoon we were invited to see Stig Wemyss in the Panmure library. Stig Wemyss is a voice artist. He used his voice to read Andy Griffin's books. There is a borrow box in the Panmure library. There is an app called borrow box that allows digital and audio book borrowing.  Stig Wymess used his humor to hook us in. He was giving out prizes to who ever was going in the front and do an activity. The prizes were a dvd with a CD in it which was Stig Wymess reading Andy Griffan's books.

Word Clines Challenge

For reading we had to finish at least two can do's.  The word Cline challenge is to find 5 words to increase your words from when you use when you are little in words that interesting. This could help you with words that are used for writing like Estatic.

Netball Inter-School

Yesterday morning, we had the inter-school netball tournament against the Manaiakalani cluster. We had 5 games to compete in the inter-school netball. It was really hot so we got tired every time we got to play. We have done a lot of running. 3 college students came from Otahuhu college really helped us to improve in our netball skills.

Cross Country

On Wednesday We had cross country. It wasn't a good weather but everybody had fun. Many people in the seniors got 2 thunder stick each. Most people had there celebration for coming 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Everybody had a great day at cross country. This was a great run for people to get fit.

Basketball

On Wednesday we went to Tamaki recreation hall to play our basketball tournament games. Our school opponents were Pt England. We had the greatest time together as a team. We won 14 - 06 against Pt England. We showed sportsmanship to each other and respect to our school opponents. 

Tongan Language Week

Today Victoria and I helped Ma'ata make a Show Me that can help her friends learn to count to ten in Tongan. We all worked collaboratively to create her DLO.

Read Theory

For reading we always start with reading on a site called readtheory.org. We read for 20 minutes just to warm us up also to increase in our reading. The site gives us a text to read and we have to understand the text before we answer. I always have to think about what the question is asking me to do.  When I answer my question I will always look back at the text just to make sure I have the right answer. Reading on this site really helps me increase in my reading. 

Ripper Rugby Inter-school

For ripper rugby inter-school we played 6 games and went against 5 schools. We got some help from  Our first game, we had a draw against Bailey Road which was 3 - 3. Our next game was against Pt England and our score was 2-7 which was hard luck for our team. Later that minute we went for our third game and our opponents were Tamaki Primary it was a pretty hard game but we ended up winning by one point, our score was 2-3. Next was our fourth game was against Sylvia Park it was the hardest game we went through but unluckily we lost by 2 point and our score were 3-5. Our last game was against Glen Brae and unluckily we lost by 3 scores. We just found out we a final game which was against Sylvia Park again and we had won 5-3. We would like to say thank you to the helpers from Otahuhu college for teaching us skills for ripper rugby. Also thank you to Mr Ogalvie for supervising us. It was a good game and we learnt a lot of new skills also we collaborated and cheered the other teams on.
