Gymnastics
Room 8,12 and 13 got split up into 2 groups. The 2 groups are for on Fridays and one group goes to the hall to do gymnastics with Mrs Baker and Miss Mackenzie. The other group goes to room 8 for ball skills and reflection with Miss B. In gymnastics we learnt different rolls, positions and a few tips. The tips were to keep your toes pointed when your doing a position. There are two types of pikes. You can do it sitting on you bottom or standing up. Sitting down is a lot easier than standing up. when your doing the sitting pike position you need to keep your toes pointed. Mackenzie was a helper. Mackenzie is a helper because she does gymnastics. She shows us how to do the positions.
The Difficult Challenge
On Tuesday room 8, 12 and 13 split up into the groups that we were in for the chickens and we were split up into groups of 5.When we were put into the groups of 5 we all had to work together to make a tool. We had to try to make the magnet attract to the safety pin to pull off the piece of paper which Miss B made it into a piece of fruit.Nobody actually managed to get the fruit.My group made a very strange tool.The things we had to make the tool out of were Popsicle sticks,Bluetac, Sellotape , a 2 metre piece of string , straws , newspaper and a magnet. We all had to work together as a team to make the tool.It took awhile to design our tool.
Feeding the chooks
Every three weeks four room 8 students go out in the morning to feed the chickens. We only have four chickens. In terms 1 and 2 it was only two people that went to feed the chickens. we get to choose who we want to feed the chickens with. Hannah chose me to feed the chickens with her. But now we have more chickens. We couldn't keep all of the new chickens because some of them were males. So now we only have four chickens left. Mr Rush and Mr Mcaven found two chickens wondering around in the school grounds so they put them into the chicken coop. Mr Mcaven and Mr rush are still trying to find the owners of the chickens. Miss B decided to have four people go out to feed the chickens because it was taking us too long when there was only two of us out there. I am in a group with Teri, Devon, Liam and of course there is Me. I think that it is a lot easier having the four of us out there and it is a lot faster.
Kelly sports
Kelly Sports
During term two room eight has had three awesome weeks of Kelly sports.
I had an awesome time I thought that it was really fun.My favourite game was the tag game with the bean bags. We learnt all sorts of games. We played catching games with tennis balls and bean bags. I think it is easier catching a tennis ball instead of a bean bag because it is round and also because it is a good shape to catch when you cup your hands.
My Self Portrait
My self portrait
For Art last term we focused on drawing self portraits. I am very proud of my self portrait because it is the best drawing of a person I've ever done but my next step is to learn how to draw a nose properly.I love drawing. Drawing is one of my hobbies. I really enjoy art. I really enjoy art because it is fun. I think Miss B is a really good drawer. I like my self portrait because I did different things on the background. I really like the colours I chose because there are four different colours and the colours are red, orange, purple and pink. I like the way that I swapped the way that the colours were.
