Silly Sports Day!!

I had my gear ready, and I was good to go. On Tuesday 23rd August Team 5 (Room 19, 20, 21 & 22) had a Silly Sports day. I noticed that all the teachers were setting their games up. The activities we played was ball Tiggy, Sling Shot, 3 legged race and a Sponge race. We did this so we could have some fun and because it was too hot.

Our first rotation was Ball Tiggy. We were with our own teacher Mrs Lagitupu. Our class was split up into 4 groups: Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow. I was in the Blue Team. We challenged the Yellow team while the Green and Red teams challenged each other.

Most of us were tired because we were running around the square trying not to get tagged. I was the last person to get tagged, “WOOOHOOO” said the Green Team as the won the game.

Another activity was the 3 legged race with Mr Harris. We had get into pairs. My partner was Pesi. We had to get to the side of the field and back without the tennis ball falling off the spoon. “Ready Set Go” said Mr Harris, and off we went. We came second in our race, but in the finals we came forth. That was lots of fun.

The last rotation was the Sponge Race with Mrs Nua. Miss S (a student teacher) put us in to 4 groups, I was in group 3. I was at the back, when I got the sponge I squeezed out the water in the bucket and ran up to the front, dipped the sponge in the water and past it along. It was fun getting wet but unfortunately we didn’t win it was group 1, they won twice in a row.

At the end of the day I really enjoyed my self. It was lots of fun, my favourite activity was the Ball Tiggy and the Sponge race. I would like to thank the teachers that planned this event for us.

Cross Country

We had our cross country run on the 10th of August. Only the year 7’s & 8’s had to run. We had to run 3km but the had to run 3.5km. We ran around our school, the reserve and a bush walk.

My heart was pumping as the race was about to begin. When I heard the clappers go bang, everyone sprinted trying to takeover each other. As I got up to Mr Umu I started walking. Then I started jogging for a little while longer.

During the race we went through mud, puddles and a bush walk. It was very tiring, and hot. I was actually glad that I made it to the bush, but I knew that it was going to be a long run. Half way through the bush some of the yr 7 boys were passing me.

When I made it out of the bush we were back at school, the year 8’s had to run another ½ km. As I ran up to the finish line everyone was cheering me on. As I pasted the finish line I sat down and cheerd people on.

The run was very tiring and hot but it was fun. The thing I enjoyed about the race was making it to the finish and experiencing that long race.

Badminton

Last week Friday our class had a Badminton session in the street with Lorene, she was our instructor. Each Term we do different sports to help us improve our techniques in them. Term 2 we done Net Ball with Emma. Now we are doing Badminton.

In our 1st session we had to try control the shuttle and hitting it gently with the racket. We had to get in pairs, someone had to hit the shutter to there partner and they had to try catch it with a cone. My partner was Sela, it was lots of fun.

Next we had a competition. Our class was split in half so it would be even. We got 5 shutters each, we had try get as many in a bucket to win. Our team went 1st we only got 4 in, the other team only got 2 so we won that round. The next round we lost 4-5 but it was close.

It was time to go. We all said bye to Lorene and came back to class and done a brainstorm about Badminton. I was laughing most of the time.

My Holiday Highlights Term 3

In the holidays I didn’t do much. I usually just watched T.V. but I did some interesting stuff as well. The places I went to was the movies, mission bay, my aunties house and my cousin’s farewell. It was kind of fun.

The movies was my highlight. I went with Bobbi-Grace and we watched Kung Fu Panda 2 at Sylvia Park. Our movie started at 3:45 because we were late for the 1:50 movie, so we went to Pak’n’Save to get our food. We waited 2 hours for the movie to start, but the movie was cool and funny.

Kung Fu Panda 2 was about a a Panda named Po who didn’t know where he came from and so he tryed to figure what happened to him when he was younger. He found out that he was adopted because his parent’s was killed by eagles. He had to find his inner peace, near the end he defeated the eagle by finding his inner peace. And found out that his father didn’t die after all.

The holidays were all right. It was mostly boring though. These are my holiday highlights hope you enjoyed them. I really enjoyed myself, it was very fun.
