Winter Sports Day - Kiwisports
Kiwisport
Everyone attending Kiwisport was on a little adventure to Te Pai courts for some fun sports games. It was chilly as Kiwisport kids walked slowly to Te Pai courts on 21 August. As we arrived at the courts we were followed by our school's netball players. Netball and Kiwisport parted ways and walked to their stations on different sides of metal link fences that were separating all the courts. There was a load of games for Kiwisport to rotate around. The games HNS Team 1 played were :
Hockey
Reverse Team Tag
Chair Team Tag
Roll Ball
Let me explain them to you...
Hockey
Hockey is pretty basic. You must have an even number of players on two teams. Each player is numbered so if the coach calls out "15" then number 15 from each team will run through their own team's goal and whichever team hits the ball through the opposing team's goal gets a point.
Reverse Team Tag
In reverse team tag you are split into as many teams as you want as long as they are fair. You are NOT allowed to tag anyone from your own team. When you tag someone they must crouch down and watch you until you get tagged and have to crouch, but if you tag someone at the same time then you must do rock, paper, scissors and the loser must crouch.
Chair Team Tag
For this game you must have two even team and a row of chairs long enough to fit the whole team except for one person. Every second chair must be facing the opposite way to the chair before it. One team is named the Taggers and they must sit in the chairs except one person will be left out because they have no chair and they will be the first tagger, the other team is named the Runners and they must try not to get tagged by the taggers. The runners may run through chairs but the taggers can't. Taggers may touch other people sitting on chairs to get the current runner. Once that runner is caught then the person who is next in line will become the runner.
Roll Ball
In roll ball you must have two even teams spread evenly around a square. In the middle of the square there will be a large rubber ball. Every player will be given at least one tennis ball and you must throw your tennis balls at the big rubber ball and to score points you must make the big rubber ball roll over the other team's boundary lines.
In my opinion the best part was reverse team tag because it was really fun and if you got tagged you still got to play. Overall I think that even though Kiwisport didn't win 1st, 2nd or 3rd we had a great time. One of our netball teams came first and the other came second so they couldn't have done any better except for a joint first place. I think we made our school proud!

Winter Sports Day
Netball
Suddenly at 8o 'clock I ran into school but first I ran into room1 to put down the chairs . Then ran into room 4 to try on my dress it took me 5 dresses to find the right one. Then at 8:45 Mr Rudd came on the court and rang the bell everyone had to go to class. After a while when we started walking then I stepped in mud it was yuck . When everyone got to Te Pai I was ready for today our first game was against Holy Cross I played GK(Goal Keeper) and I didn't even get the ball but at the end we don't our cheer and we won 32-0. After a long time of playing we got lunch then I was so happy how far my team has made it. Then when we came to the finals I said to myself "Hey I know that girl" she was from my club team and her name was Cherish at the finals we were versing Western Heights. At the end we won 12-3, I was so proud of our teamwork today and how we played. I think our team showed great sportmanship and cooperation

NZ Geography - Kahoot
Room 1 has started term 3 with a hiss and a roar as they have thrown themselves into quizzes about NZ geography as we attempt to learn more about our country.
Each day we have been doing a quiz about NZ where we can show what we know about NZ and find out how much more there is to learn.
If you want to have a go at our first quiz click on this link or you can try either of our second or third quizzes. All you'll need is a second device to answer the questions on while the quiz questions come up on a first device.

Maritime Museum Visit
Room 1, 2 and 4 all visited the Maritime Museum in the Auckland CBD today. We had a great time including going out on the Ted Ashby, an old yacht, and watching a cannon be fired to show it was 12 o'clock.

Round Robin Stories - Speech Marks & Synonyms for "Said"
We've been learning about using speech marks in our writing for the last few days and today we brainstormed some synonyms for the word 'said' to help us when we use speech marks.
Today we practiced our speech marks with some round robin stories. Each child used a sentence starter then passed their story onto the next person.
The sentence starters were:
Snow White instructed "...
Grumpy replied "...
Happy whispered "...
Grumpy responded "...
Snow White interrupted "...
Doc suggested "...
Here are Mr Walker's favourites:
Snow White instructed "... go to the store to get bread"
Grumpy replied "... thank you for the bread"
Happy whispered "... she's ugly"
Grumpy responded "... I bounce off the walls all the time"
Snow White interrupted "... oh, just forget about it"
Doc suggested "...put Snow White in a coffin and leave it in the woods."
