Wet lunchtimes in our class!

Hockey Taster with Hose!

         Hose came to school to give us a taster of what it is like to play hockey!

                  We learned how to hold our stick correctly, and how to dribble and control the ball.

We got to play a game of hockey with two balls.  Great skills Jake Smith!!

Cross Country

Before the triathlon I was nervous.  My heart was beating fast very fast.
I started off jogging and then I got faster and faster.  Persia was behind me.  She sped up.  She was in front of me.
It was nearly the end, Persia was still in front of me so I sprinted and I overtook her.
I came fourth.  I was proud.

Kalea

I heard a really loud clapping noise.  I was nervous.
I started to sprint, I came first.  But then I got down by the trees and someone passed me.
I tried to sprint to get past that person, but I didn't.
Then at the finish line I sprinted how fast I can, but another person passed me.
I came third place.
My Mum was so proud.

Donnie

I stepped on the pink starting line.  I felt nervous.  I heard a bang and everyone started to go.
Sprinting off I ran beside the trees.  Just before I got to the crossing Jake passed me.
I was running behind the trees and I could hear my Dad shouting.
When I got close to the finish I sprinted off.
I was second and Jake was first.

Our fabulous writing about playing in the rain!

It was a cold and foggy day.  I was splashing and splashing in the brown mud puddles.  The rain trickled down my neck.  I was shivering and cold.

Jaime C

It was a dark and cold day.  I shivered like a stormy monster.  The rain was trickling down my neck.  And mud was squishing into my gumboots.  I felt very cold.

Indi

It was a cloudy and stormy day.  Mud dripped when I was splashing in the puddles.  I sploshed and splashed.

Xavier

It was a wet and flooding day.  The rain was trickling down the window.  I was playing in the mud puddles.   It was a dark day.

Bjorn

One day I woke up.  The weather was bad.  I got my gumboots and I got my yellow rain coat.  My gumboots are squishy in the mud puddles.

We have been using powerful words to make our writing more interesting!

Last term we learned about Matariki.  We read lots of stories, watched video clips and did some fabulous art work.

Reaching for the stars!  Thank you to Mr Nicholas's class who gave us a book of Matariki stories that they had written. 

We loved sharing our Matariki Art with the rest of the school.
