badminton recount salelei

TODAY  WAS THE LAST SESSION WE HAD FOR  BADMINTON.

I PARTNERED UP WITH GEMIMA, AND WE PLAYED AGAINST LENNYX AND JACK.It was fun hitting the shuttle cox over the net. My favourite thing about badminton is playing with my friends. I found learning the backhand was difficult because I could not get the grip right.Robbie our instructor showed me how to hold the raquet properly. Badminton is a cool sport to play, I think I might  practice during the holidays.

tirp To The Long bay

On Monday  20th  of may rooms 9 and 10 went on a trip to long bay regional park to lenrn about living creatures in rock pools we assembled under the shelter and went with sarah, who was our guide for the. each group was given a white tray to collect whatever we found in the rock pools. salelei found a cushion starfish and I crabs. I found a spiral starfish. It was cool. The wind blew sand into my face, as I wallced back to the shelter. a dead jellyfish lay on the sand. It was a awesome day, and I was tired.

Loopy People!

Today I learnt to measure body parts, half each measurement, use the halved measurement to create a loopy person. 

Reflection:

It was easy to measure

It was hard to halve the measurements.

In term 1, my class has been learning about survival in the wild. Today was the day for my presentation.
Desire and I came up with a matching game, aimed at year 3 and  4 students. Each student had to match the word to the picture. It looked like the kids were having fun with it. I had fun presenting it.

swimming pool

This term I went swimming at Otara Swimming Pool with my Dad, to help me with my fitness. I like to swim because it is fun, and I get to exercise at the same time. I am also in the Samoan Youth group, and every Friday we play games, and do different activities. At school I enjoy playing with my friends. We play 
tiggy and run around the school.Anyway, will keep you posted
on my next fun exercise, next term. 

basketball

There are 5 players on each team. Each  player dribbles the ball, and tries to shoot the ball into the hoop. I have learnt that basketball is a team game. The warm ups have been hard and physical.
I have also learnt how to dribble the ball, chest pass and do cool moves with the basketball. Anyway I have had a blast playing basketball, Give it a Go.... 

Long Bay Trip

Long Bay trip On Monday 7th of  April year 7 and 8 students from rooms 9 and 10 went by bus on a trip to Long Bay Regional Park to learn about survival skills in the wild.

Once we arrived at the park, we assembled

under the shelter, and Sandra who was a park ranger introduced the rest of her team to us.

Sarah, james and Maureen along with Miss Atuahiva and Tevita accompanied my group on our hike to Green Bay. Sarah showed us how to read a map, and we got to pick where we wanted to go. Students took turns at being a  team leader, and a tail charlie(person at end of line)

Next we found ourselves pitching up tents on our own and learning how to be safe when using a hobo stove. The exciting part was frying my own sausage (YUMMY)

After lunch it was off to make a make shift stretcher, using two pieces of long wood and four jumpers.

Each of us had turns pretending to be injured. Morag, who is a park ranger , showed us how to carry the stretcher. It wasn’t easy. The hardest part was actually carrying the patient without dropping them.

Finally the bus arrived to pick us up. I sat on the bus tired and weary from my day, thinking about what I learned, with my eyes closed all the way back to school.
