Touch Rugby Sessions

“TOUCH RUGBY SESSIONS”
For the past few weeks, as a student my class and I plus my teacher were taught by an amazing Touch Rugby coach named Trevor or (Trev).

In our first session we learnt how to scoop, 2 man, plant, pass and at the end we played HOT POTATO. In our second session we learnt that if you run in with the ball in either use the opposite side to touch just like contesting someone and being quick.

Touch Rugby has been great for my class and I for the past few weeks and we had a great time. I wished we could of said Thank You to Trevor for his great coaching and his 100% good attitude. THANKS TREV.

Our Gardens

Today our garden is getting removed by students from Tamaki College. So my class and I had write about our garden, what kind of plants should we put in our garden. So I had to write why should we have these plants

My list of garden that I chose were:

1. Yucca Plants

2. Bonsai

3. Mini Cactus

Man I wish we had these plants in our class garden woooooo.

"THE SHAKEOUT DRILL"

Today at approximately 9: 15 schools in New Zealand were involved in a shakeout drill. When the bell rang 3 times we all had to STOP what we were doing and go under our desks. But our teacher Mr Reid couldn't fit properly under so he took some pictures of us while the drill was on. In one of the photo’s my friend Sebastian is like “Let Me Out” I’ll rescue you Mr Reid. Here’s the picture.

Looking Forward To Athletics

YAY! I'm back to school and I'm really looking forward to this term.I can't wait for athletics, a sport that involves sprinting and a track field to run on. The reason why I'm looking forward to Athletics is because last year I did a massive effort and this year I'm not going to do a massive effort I'm going to do an AMAZING EFFORT.

Mr Mad Messenger

Yesterday morning rooms 11 and 12 went to see the Mad Messenger. First he told us something called "U Talk" something that has to do with anyone saying saying negative things to you, then we had volunteers to write the negative word on the board that someone has said to you. Next he told us about a guy named Thomas Edison the man who created a light bulb. He also taught us about never letting yourself down but in his own way. Last he created a drawing of Iron Man.
