Building Snowmen



In Auckland it was a perfect day to build a family of snow mans. While they were working on there snow mans, they were freezing to death. They had a good day in the snow.

Netball lessons

WOW!
Guess what room fifteen did?

Well, on Thursday afternoons we went to the courts to practise netball with a lady called Emma. She was the lady who was going to teach us some netball skills. First we all got into a line and Emma called out numbers. Number one’s had to line up in one line by the toilet's, then number two’s had to line up opposite us. The person in front of you was your partner and my partner was James.

We all started with chest passing. Chest passing is the main pass in netball. After that room fifteen did bounce passing. Bounce pass is a pass when you have to bounce the ball close to your teams feet because their partner might come out of no where and grab it. I think we did a high pass after that. A high pass is a high pass when you have to throw the ball.

After all our skills lessons I feel now that I am a better netball player. This has helped me for when I represent the school on a Thursday night at the Auckland Netball Courts in Morrin Road.

Swimming

WOW! Guess what we did for two weeks? Well room fifteen and seventeen went to the Glen Innes pools.
Once we walked through the doors I heard a rustling of plastic bags. First I sat down on the side bench and saw people going for a shower. We went there to learn how to swim. The teachers were Mr Marks and Miss Garden. I saw people blowing bubbles.
What I had to do was to take photos and Gianna had to take a short film of everyone for their blogs. When people got out of the pools they were shivering. I took a lot of photos of the girls. At the end we all walked back to school. I saw room fifteen hanging their clothes out to dry.

Building tall towers.


WOW!!! Guess what we did this term? This term room fourteen and fifteen had a challenge to see who could build the tallest tower. The teachers put both of the classes into two teams.

The first class I went to was room 14. But when I was in room 15, we had a challenge to see who could build the tallest tower. In my group the winners were Lukis, Minhaj, Kyal, Zyrin and Timoteo. The people in my group were Mele, Hope and Doris.

Doris and I did the sellotape. Hope and Mele did the paper. They rolled up the paper. Then they sellotaped it onto the other piece of paper. The girls rolled up some more paper and tried to make the tallest tower they could. We only got 20 minutes to build the tower.

At the end of the challenge we came last. Jorja said that her one died. After that it was lunch time. Finally it was time to eat. That was tiring.
