Soccer

Today LS2 had soccer. We were put into teams and in that team we had to challenge each other playing a game of soccer. I was in the non bibs team and with that team we were working so hard to try and get the ball in the goal. We first versed team blue, we were working so hard and we were working together as a team and for that game we won 4-0. We then versed team green, with that team we tried our best but unfortunately lost. We moved on and versed team red, my team tried and tried but again we lost. My team was feeling a little down but we moved on and played team yellow which was our last game. We were ending off with a positive attitude weather we win or lose, we were playing our hardest and we weren't giving up but as we came up to the end, we unfortunately lost again. We all had fun and played our best even though it was our first session of soccer.

Atletics Day

Today we had Athletics Day. TIt started off with a nice weather but as we got through the day it started pouring with rain. The year 7's & 8's got split into 3 groups. For the year 8's the first activity was in the hall and it was Rob The Nest. We had fun and showed a lot of participation also throughout playing that game it was very tiering but we all managed to try make our teams come 1st. The next activity was the sponge relay and it was a lot of fun. Out of all the fun we had, Gozan's team won and came 1st. Next game was the long jump. Now this was very tricky because the grass was slippery. All we had to do was to see who could jump the furthest. We have finally came 1st for the first time. We would like to thank Mr Ogilivie for organizing all of these activities and the staff members and the parents who came down and supported this event. I want to just say a huge thank you for all the groups who showed a lot of team work and team spirit in all the activities. We would also like thank the Tamaki College students for running all the different activities.

Hockey

On Thursday we had hockey. What we did was practicing pushing the ball and also trapping as well as hitting. Practicing is really good for us because we get to know how to control the ball with the hockey stick. After that we then bounced the ball on the stick and our challenge was to see how many we can do. Once we done that we played a game it was when you have to take someones ball out of the square and then you do that over again if there are 4 or 5 people still in then there then we call "SHARK!" shark is when someone is out and then they come back in the square to try and get someone out until there is 1 player and that will be the winner. We would like to thank Carly for teaching us new skills.

E Groups Opinions

For the past few weeks we were learning about pigeons. We learned a lot like how they risked there lives to send messages in WW1 & 2. This DLO have to be about our group opinion. This DLO was the last DLO for our topic. We have to write our own opinions about if you think pigeons are special or pests. I think that pigeons are special because they help save people's lives even though they make a lot of mess such as leaving guano on the ground and caring diease.

Kiwi Sport (Hockey)

Today we had kiwi sport and out sport was called Hockey. Today was our first session and it was exciting and very fun. To start off the session we got to practice a few skills. The first skill that was using traffic lights (Green, Orange, Red, Purple, Blue & Silver). We learnt how to use the hockey stick and to move the ball side to side, front and back, super fast and much more. We got to have 2 well skilled coaches and with our first session we enjoyed ourselves.

Team Paper Plane

This is a collage that I made based on Paper Planes. For our maths, the whole class were put into groups. In my group there was Ana, Afu, Silivia, Thomas, Sylis and Harry. We got told to select the best plane in our group and we have picked Thomas's plane because it flew the furthest. Our group won the finals competition because our plane flew the furthest. It was really competitive and challenging with the other groups. Our three measurement were 11.20, 14.00 and 14.01. As you can see, the furthest was 14.01. We were very proud of our results.

Paper Plane

For Inquiry yesterday we got put into groups to work collaboratively together based on making paper planes. Our topic was all about flight, and based on that topic our task was to create a paper plane to see how far it goes. We were using our searching skills to find sites about how to make paper planes. Our group has finally completed making a paper plane so we have tried flying our planes off the deck, but when that happened our plane went straight down heading to the ground. We failed and failed alot of times but the thing is that we all never gave up.
