In Health and Physical Education, our hapu have been learning Cricket and Basketball skills with coaches. For four weeks, we have had coach Roni for basketball and coach Josie from Auckland Cricket come to our school and instruct our learners. The children have learned lots of skills for both games. In basketball, these skills include: dribbling, arm bar, stance and passing. In cricket, skills included: over arm and under arm throw, batting, bowling and catching. Both sports got learners to develop their capabilities and curiosities in these sports, form connections in both codes and to collaborate with others.

my great great recount

Today with miss lavakula we went to play on the new playground.you must be wondering why did we go on the new playground Because we were going to write a recount and describe it. The whole of lavakula writing group went to the playground .One of my favourite things was this wheel thing. I do not know the name of it but you twist it in circles and water comes out and falls on A pcise of lag.What i mean by log not any old log this log is carved so the water can travel thourgh.To a path. Then it falls on some pebbles in the front.There was this really cool thing that i was curious about.It was kind of like a door that if you push it down it closes and blocks the water from going through.And if you pull it it up the water goes out Oncs it goes out it goes under a bridge and into the sand in. The sand people or kids blocked the water How i felt:i was really excited and happy because it felt like i was at the beach

I think yes we should wear our uniforms to school.Because if you go on a trip to another school you could represent your own school. Example: when we went to the museum we knew where we were Suppose to be.Another reason why you should wear your school Uniform is because if you don’t wear your uniform and a visitor comes in they will think the whole class is full of new learners. Especially the little kids wearing uniforms also just brights up your day even more.This makes you happy then you already are.Talking about it makes you happy i mean you should wear your school uniforms or other why’s visitors will think you are still in kindergarten.

From my point of view i think we should not have gum at school.Because if you laugh or Swallow it you could choke or die. Another reason why you should Not chew gum is because after people are finish chewing it they put it under the table.When Visitors come in they will say there school is so dirty and gross I think it is gross because it has people’s saliva and germs .Also when you touch it,you could get theri bacteria.
