Badminton

On Thursday after morning tea, Rm 14 we went to Badminton we did it inside the hall. When we got there we meet a lady called Lorene she taught us to serve with shuttles. The first step was put your thumb down and put the racket upside down. We had to keep the shuttle air born when you hit it.

Then she told us to choose a partner and I was with Htawara. We were learning new skills. I said to Hta wara, "Keep on hitting the ball".

Our first practice was serving. I was so excited. When we had to serve to the other player they had to hit it back. We counted how many times we hit it. If you dropped it you would have to start all over again. After a moment she shouted,  "Shuttles" that means you have to put your rackets and shuttles down, and sit down.
Then we try to hit the shuttles for 3 times and hit it under your leg. It looked easy but it was not.
After we finished that game we keep on rotating games they were all fun and interesting. My favourite game was when we had to go behind the red line and Lorene  hit the shuttles to the person who was first in line. We had to hit it back to her. If we dropped it we had to put our racket down and we couldn't use it again. It was tricky to aim because we had to hit it behind the red line. That one was my favourite but it was a competition .When we had only one more racket we had to pass it fast before Lorene hits it to us. But we were too late to hit it. Another skill was  you had to carefully aim so you didn't drop it and you had to work as a team.

Liver

The Liver has more then 500 jobs. It makes the blood warm. We found this out when we met a lady called Tim in the Life Ed Caravan with Harold. She said "The liver breaks down food and warms up the blood.” For example if you eat an apple it goes down your esophagus to your stomach where it gets broken up. The Liver works what ever it can do then it warms up your heart.

When you eat something that is healthy the Liver works well. It is the size of a small melon and it is the biggest organ in the body.

Rugby ball

A very long time ago in the late 1800s people killed the pigs to get the bladders to make a rugby ball. If you don't know what a bladder is, it is something that holds the pigs pee.

Do you know how the people made a ball? They grabbed the bladder from the pig and they blew it up with their lips. It was smelly so they used the stem of a clay pipe as a tube to blow it so they did not blow it up with their lips.

Keep your Eye on the Ball

On the 1st of August at the beginning of the Term 3 the whole school went to Immersion Assembly . Every time when we have an Immersion Assembly all the teachers have to dress up into their costumes. Our topic for today is Keep your Eye on the Ball.

 When we got to assembly Mr Jacobson was shouting "Ireland” and there were vendors selling out tickets for some food,-  there were chips, drinks and sausages with hot chips.

At the beginning of Assembly Team 1 was singing an All Black song then they were throwing rugby balls out to people.


Then Mr Burt said,  "Give a round of applause for Team 2. They were all dressed up. Mrs Tuala was a Manu Samoan, Miss She was an All Black with Miss Blake and Miss Glaze as England. They were singing as well.


My favourite Team was Team 3. They were doing the Week-Bix eating challenge. The countries were Canada, France and an All Black.  Mrs Lavakula was an All Black, Mrs Walters was Canada and Miss Burne was France.. It was so funny because they had to choose people to help them because they were not allowed to use their hands. As you all know my favourite player and team is Sonny Bill William and my team is All Black.

Motat

Guess what!!! Rm 14 went with Rm 13 on Wednesday to motat(Museum Of Transport and technology).

Before we went in the bus we went in the hall to talk about being with your parents I was with Jonita's Mum and Tyla, Porscha, Calvin, Paris and Jeryco. Then we went in side the bus. I was sitting with Tyla, Porscha and Chloe. When we were on the bus Mele and others were singing.

Then we went inside the Tactile dome the first group that went inside was my group I was with Tyla,Jonita and Porscha. When we went inside it was pitch black it was so dark we could not see anything. So we were holding hands and Tyla was at the back of me, Jonita was leading the way so then we climb up the net and it was slippery because we had our socks on. Suddenly I was about to slip but I did not slip ,
My hands were slippery and lost Porscha and I was trying to find her but I did find her so then we saw a light. Then I said’’ I think we are nearly there then we went down the slide and we were out then we started talking about it then we got split up.

My group went to the Mirror maze when I went inside I was following the ground and that led you to the end.On my 2nd time I got to the end.

So then we went to play games I went on the pipe and jandal instrument I was hitting it with the jandal and it made some echo then I went to Earthquake cake I felt like there was a earthquake I was thinking that it was going to happen.Then I went to the mirror I was looking funny my legs were small, my head and my hands were long it was funny and

So then we went to the Victorian village I went inside the house and there was this lady cooking and things and the girl she was playing with her toys they were scary then we went to the prison there was this man who was scary.
