Athletics

Welcome back bloggers!
A couple days ago our school had it's Ath

letics Day!
Athletics Day is basically a fun day where we get to do multiple sports and compete for a place in zones (A bigger competition for some sports against other schools).
On Athletics Day we have to dress up in our house colours, red, blue, green and yellow also representing Kea, Ruru, Pukeko and Tui.
I am in ruru
I like lots of the sports we did but my favourite sport would have to be high jump.
I came 2nd in high jump after jumping 1.10 m and failing 1.14 m, meaning I will be going to zones. We did sprints, high jump, tennis, shot put, team building and long jump.
The juniors did some other sports like jumping hurdles as well.


Here are some photos from the day

fun creation

This week, the senior syndicate started a Fun Creations tumble. On the tumble there were set tasks for everyone to do. The tasks were making an origami frog, a marshmallow tower, making a play dough insect, cutting patterns, making butter, plasticine characters, pavement art, lego place and paper planes. My favourite activity was pavement art. I collaborated with Abigail to make a huge earth using chalk. Judging by the fact that we had never learnt geography, I think we did pretty well. I also liked the marshmallow maths activity because we got to eat the marshmallows in the end.
I think that we should do more activities like this because it was really fun and we actually learnt stuff.

Here is my fun creation 

Unveiling

Hi bloggers!!

This week we unveiled our art that we have been working on for the last three weeks we had be putting a lot of our best work into this and a lot of detail. On the day we had a special assembly we sat under our massive gum tree and one by one people that were specially chosen to pull down the blanket  unveiling the art. The first one to be unveiled was the Latin American girl .The next one was the Fiji boy it looked really cool with the hair after the assembly was done we all went off to lunch time.

futsal

We have been doing Futsal as this term's sport.
Futsal (Foot-sol) is indoor Football played on a hard court between two teams of five. We had two coaches, Kingsley and Leon. We played a game where we had to stop the ball with whatever body part they yelled out. If the ball kept rolling then we had to do push-ups or star jumps. Then we got split into even teams and got given a number. The coaches yelled out some numbers and those numbers from both teams had to go and play a match against each other, first one to score wins.
My favourite bit was when we were dribbling around in the first game and one of my friends, Noah was trying to nutmeg (Kick the ball through a persons legs) Leon, one of our coaches. I went up behind him and kicked the ball and the ball actually went through his legs!
