Kiwi Sport (Hockey)

Today after music we had our kiwi sport called Hockey. Today was our first session and it was exciting. To start off the session we got to practice come skills. The first skill that was up was using traffic lights. We learnt how to use the hockey stick and to move the ball side to side, front and back, super fast and much more. We got to have 2 well skilled coaches and we enjoyed the session. 

Athletics

Today we had Athletics for the year. Today was a bad weather and it was raining all morning. But the rain couldn't put us down so we did it in the rain. The year 7's got split into 3 groups and had to compete. The year 8's got split into 3 groups and had to compete against each other. For the year 8's the first activity was in the hall and it was Rob The Nest. We had fun and showed a lot of participation while playing this game and our group came 1st. The next activity was the sponge relay and it was a lot of fun. Some of our players splashed the others to get a lead. Out of all the fun we had, our team won and came 1st. Next game was the long jump. Now this was very tricky because the grass was slippery. All we had to do was to see who could jump the furthest. Unfortunately we lost and came 2nd place. We had to more activity's to complete and out of those 2 we came 2nd in a row. We would like to thank Mr Ogilivie for organizing all of these activities and the staff members and the parents who came down and supported this event. I want to just say a huge thank you for all the groups who showed a lot of team work and team spirit in all the activities. We would also like thank the Tamaki College students for running all the different activities.

Our Group Reading Challenge - Pigeons

For the last week or so we have been working hard on this Reading Follow Up Challenge. In my group we showed a lot of team work, communicating to others and getting the task done. For this challenge we were learning about pigeons. We were finding out if they were special or just pests. We had some interesting opinions from each of our group members. Our group synthesized the main ideas to create one statement. Our leaning intention was to identify the main ideas in the text.
