Kiwisport

In the past two weeks we have been in sports on every day except Tuesday because we have had Kiwisport with Christchurch Boys High. They have been teaching us touch rugby. At the end, we got lollies. I have had fun, and also we gave them a copy of "Stop Sign", our song that Gus and I made up.

CHCH Boys High School Sport.

I really enjoyed the sport that we did with some people from Boys High. The sport that we did was touch rugby. I learnt how to pass and catch the ball. At the end we gave them are card the Daisy and I had made and we got the whole team to sign. It was really funny because at the first session we all swapped names and they didn't know until when we gave them the card we told them what our real names were!

Big Chess

I like it how they have put the big chess out again. They should have a roster for two people to have a go at morning tea and lunch.

The new craze

Go go's are the new craze at our school. Everyone has them and I started them up. They are little plastic things. You flick them around and play lots of games with them, like keeps, first that KO, and knock off. They're cool!!

google doodle

Doing my google doodle was really fun and I enjoyed doing it lots. It took me a while to get my final design and make it but in the end it was pretty great. I had lots of fun and now I have finished the final copy of it.  It has an All Blacks background and a few artifacts of NZ for the letters.

This week we have been taught by CBHS how to play some sports. They've taught us Soccer, Basketball, Touch and Hockey so far I've done two sessions of touch. Its really fun because they play warm up games and then they teach us rules and then we get to play the sport. Yesterday we played touch Harry, Sammy, Sam H, Alex, Henry and Me playing Megan, C.C., Heejun and the instructors. We've had heaps of fun.

Google Doodle

I like my google doodle because i did a big rainbow in the background and I did a koru in one of the 'O's and the best thing I liked the best about it is the gumboot that I did in the 'L'.

West Zone Soccer Tournament

On Tuesday we went on bus to Hagley Park.I'm captain so I had to carry the bag. It was so annoying but after a while you got use to it. After we got to the fields we had a meeting about the rules and the teams that are competing: Middleton Grange, Ilam,Burnside, and some others I can't remember. We won all our games except for one we drew. It all depended on points now because they won all their games as well. Unfortunately they had scored more points, so they get to go to the Centrals. After the tournament, we went to wearable arts.

Ski Race By Alex

I'm looking forward to the ski race on Sunday and using my skill's at skiing and my improved ski's. My mum gave my ski's to a ski shop so they can sharpen them and wax them. I was taught by my mum to ski, she once held the title for best skier in NZ and she has lots of medals and trophy's at home.

Christchurch boys High sport teaching

Earlier this week on Monday , Wednesday and Thursday The Seniors of Christchurch Boys High School came to our school to teach the seniors sporting games for some fitness(because we firstly were too busy with our wearable arts and we haven't had the time for P.E )they came every year to tech us tons of fun sports and games.

The whole senior school were split up into groups for sports.
My instructors were Monty and Malcolm and they were so Funny.

The good thing is that we are having sports with Boys High again next week on the same days as this week so we will have as much fun!!!!

On Monday I was doing basketball!!!
Then on Wednesday we played touch!!!
and on Thursday we played touch again!!!!

I absolutely cant wait till next weeks sports and I am hoping next week to do hockey and soccer.

Cross Country

On September the 24th me and the cross country team are going up to Nelson for a run with all the the other finalists from different schools.e are traveling up in cars but the Canterbury team e.g Harry Henry and Emily and the rest of the Canterbury team are going up in buses.

Google doodle

Nearly the whole school had started doing google doodle, which is just adding doodles to the "Google" sign.
There are prizes like a laptop or a special white board marker.
You will get a draft paper that says GOOGLE and we can colour and draw anything that contains "New Zealand".
And in the publishing, there is a paper that says GOOGLE really slightly.

My google doodle is mostly about korus and kiwis.

Andy Griffiths trip

Andy Griffiths is really funny and would make a great comedian. He writes his books by taking an idea and turning it around to what people wouldn't expect is going to happen. I love reading his books and am a really big fan of his so when we got told that we were going to see him I got really exited. Going to see Andy Griffiths was really fun and I was so happy as I walked out of those town hall doors.

Wearable Arts Photos

Amazing Andy Griffiths!

Yesterday we went to the Town Hall to listen to Andy Griffiths. He told us how to write good stories. Also he told us some bad jokes that are funny because it's such a terrible joke, here are some that I remember:

Q:Why did the boy fall off his bike?
A:Because his mother threw a fridge at him!

Q:How did the boy end up in hospital with a very serious condition?
A:Because he got run over by a truck that was driven by his mother!

Andy also told about some of his crazy ideas, which are:
1. Never super glue yourself into a shower with the water running and
2. never let a baby meet a dinosaur in the middle of the road.

HA-HA-HA!

Andy Griffiths

On Wednesday the 12th of August the whole Senior school went to see Andy Griffiths at the town hall.
We all had fun but my favorite bit was when he got out his character Bananas in balaclavas that was funny.
My lest favorite bit was when he called me an idiot!
But in the end we all had fun!

Canterbury Cross Country Team

For the cross country team we have to do one-hundred minutes per week of running leading up to the race in Nelson.

So far I have raised just over half of the money I needed to raise.
In total we need to have run one-thousand minutes.
I am the captain for the year 6 boys, the roles needed to be a captain are calling the role at training and organising the team.

Wearable Arts

On the 3rd~4th August the Wearable Arts was held at the Ngaio Marsh theatre.
Rm 10 performed in the category man made NZ. In our dance we showed different figures being made and at the end we made the 2 letter NZ. We fell like domino's and we were supposed to have glow sticks but Paulette took them to Australia so we couldn't use them.

My Costume group modeled in the category Natural NZ.
We got out of tune in the gumboot song but kapahaka was fine( wasn't out of tune!!!)
And at the very end Mrs Gordon got a bouquet of flowers.
Obviously Room 10's dance was the best though.

Wearable Arts

I think that our class went really well with the wearable arts. At the end we did the NZ and when I saw a photo of it I thought it looked really cool. My mum also said that when we did the movements at the start with our arms she said we did it really boldly and we did it at the same time.

My Google Doodle

I chose to do my Google Doodle in Koru's. I chose Koru's because that is a maori design that we only have in New Zealand. I have made a big Koru run through all the letters and a few little ones inside the letters. In Google, I chose the L to make into a bog Koru.

Town hall Choir

At town hall Choir our teacher is Miss Kincaid. We sing funny, exciting and odd songs. Most of the girls don't want to do it, but in my defence I kind of like it. But EVERYONE from the north west choir HAS to be in it and I like north west choir WAAAAAAAAY better!!!!!

Bullying

This week (week 4, term 3) we have been talking about bully's. We have had sessions on bullying we recently have been doing a bully survey so people at our school can feel safer as the bully's are being dealt with. Just this morning we talked about how it makes you feel if you are being bullied and how bad it is just to watch them getting bullied and not helping them. My opinion is its sickening watch them and not helping and when people run off crying its sad. Some kids in our class feel that they're going to be a bit embarrassed when they say something and scared that others will laugh. I still cant believe that bullying is happening at Fendalton.

Sam B

Well done guys!

I have been so proud of our class over the last few days. We have had so much going on - Wearable Arts, Cycle Safety, ICAS tests, Sports tournaments........and yet, everyone has kept a sense of humour, looked after each other, and put in their top effort in everything they've done.

Congratulations to each and everyone in Room 10 for their performance and effort, especially in the Wearable Arts. I have felt very privileged to be a part of it!
