Hello everyone

This week we did same things every week reading, writing, maths, lunch and winter sport on Thursday.
My highlight was winter sport because I love rugby and I play rugby for winter sport. We vs St Martins and Addington we won both games we bet St Martins 4-0 and Addington 5-4 i'm always excited to play.


Our inquiry was a stop-motion about eels dying because of littering. I did this stop-motion with James, Martin and Xander.

weekly update

Friday 17 May

Hello

This week we did a little bit not to much this week. On Thursday we went to winter sports.  For winter sports I played tackle rugby. We have quite a big team around 21 players in one team. They can't have two teams because you will need fifteen players in each team so if we had 30 or more there would be two teams. For rugby we play two games we vs West Spreydon and St Francis of Assisi. I was on for a half in each game. For the first game I scored quite a few tries. The second game I scored 1 or 2 tries.

End of Term Reflection

Hello

This term we did a lot of stuff like cycle safety, swimming sports and way more fun stuff it was a really fun term and I'm excited for next term.

My highlight for this term was probably the Caritas fundraiser day because we built a house out of duct tape, cardboard and one or two sheets and it was windy. My group was Storm, Manu, Tom, Martin, Ollie and me it was challenging but fun.

Another highlight was Korfball.  It's basically netball but it has different hoops and a different ball.  We did Korfball all week except Friday it was a really fun sport but I would rather rugby. I liked doing cycle safety as well  because we learnt bike rules while on bike and I love biking. I am looking forward cross country and maybe more exciting stuff next term.

I liked everything this term because we did so much fun stuff this term I loved it all.

First thing we had to do  was get cardboard and we built our homes. We built it out of cardboard and tape, it was a really fun day. Then we had to pack up. My highlight was building the house because it was really fun. These are pictures while we were building.

Korfball
this week we played Korfball, Korfball is basically net ball but it has different hoops and if you are getting blocked you can't shoot so pass quick. There was a guy called Youri he taught us how to play  Korfball. I would rather Korfball over netball.

 

Don the eel man

Hello

We were learning about eels.  Today Don the eel man came to talk to us - he works for NIWA and NIWA stands for National Institute of Water and Atmosphere.  Here is what I learnt.

• They don't eat when there gliding towards Tonga. 
• Some eels eat other eels.
• Once the eels teeth has grip it won't let go.
• Eels eat fish whole.
• They're active at night and hide at day.
• They have 112 vertabrae in their backs.
• There is an Australia long fin eel.
