My Fantastic Netball Description!!!

Wow! Today was such ecstatic Netball session with Gina. We were all taught skills like chest passing, shooting, faking/stepping, catching, swift movements and shooter driving to and fro. As Gina was repeating her instructions we were getting ready for another shot. Some people helped but the others just stood there like headless chooks. We had to run to the cone stepped, run to the outside of the circle, receive the ball, turn, pass, and then score!. We all screamed, shouted, and supported each other. We did our demonstrations, and our practices till we went onto our next game. Our last game was also a shooting, and running game. We had to move from one side to the other to get a goal. The teams were the Outlaws vs Bulldogs. We received a number and used it. Gina would call out 2, 3 or 4 numbers and those number of people would have to get a ball from the hoop, pass it to the next person in their team without running with the ball and try to get a score. It was such an amazing game. People were finally supporting each other, cheering for each other, and mostly helping each other. It was the best morning ever and I can’t wait till next week.

Another Fantastic Story!!!

Today I was reading a book called 'Step Up To The Plate' by Wenda Clement. The story was about a little boy that really loved playing softball. He practised with his dad everyday.

Our Great Bike Skills With J.S

 This morning J.S, a bike teacher was teaching us about what to do and what to wear while you’re on a bike. First he taught us about how was to stand out and be visible. When you’re on the road riding a bike you need to visible, you need to wear bright clothes to be safe or a bright vest that other people wear when on duty crossing or mailing. That was the first thing we learnt.

The second thing we learned about was to check our bike and our clothing. When you’re on a bike you need to wear pants that do not get caught into the chain or wheel of your bike, that can really hurt yourself. He kept on talking about our clothing and our bikes so that we can be safe on our bikes.

The third thing he talked about was reflectors on your bike. You need to make sure that you have a red reflector at the back of your seat. That reflector is the most important reflector on bike. When you’re on the road you need that reflector so that the cars behind and see you from behind. After talking about reflectors, he asked a couple of questions about that and we gave really good answers. And also he taught us the 4 bike checks. 1-brakes, 2-wheels, 3-bolts, and the fourth-reflectors.

Finally the last thing he taught us about was how to wear your helmet. On your helmet you need to adjust the back of your helmet so that your helmet can stay on your head for as long as you want. Second was to check the front of your helmet, two fingers on your eyebrow touching your helmet means your helmet is alright. Third was to check the ‘Y’s’. The ‘Y’ on your where your ears are means you’re safe, when it has a ‘V’ it means you’re not safe so we needed to make sure of that. And lastly, we had to check if you have clipped your helmet on. It’s safe when you’ve clipped it on and you are be able to fit 1 or 2 fingers under your chin. He kept on talking about the helmets till we went on to when we were supposed to be riding the bikes. He told us our bike riding is at 12:15. At the end of our first session, he said thank you, goodbye, and walked off. We still had maybe 1 or 2 lessons left, but the first lesson we had was amazing.

Our Amazing Inter School Orienteering Competition

Today was our Interschool Orienteering Competition at Waiatarua reserve. First we took a deep breathe before we started running. We had a map, we wrote our name, school, and time we started. After our head start was counted down, everyone was sprinting, racing, and following our maps. Everyone was asking ‘is that number 123?’ and I just kept running because I didn’t want them to come ahead of me. As soon I was almost to the finish end, I was struggling to find number 135. But when some classmates of mine saved my life it was a miracle, because I thought I was gonna come last. But I believed in myself.

While I was running to the finish line we had to run through a path that was already organised. I sprint my way to get my map checked and to get my place.  My place wasn't so close to the start but at least I believed in myself.

I was so glad I finished the competition. Even though we had to do a lot of running, sprinting, and looking, I still made it through.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother’s Day, Mum! On the 12th of May it was Mother’s Day, we had a get together at my house with my aunt, uncle, and cousins. We had a umu in the morning and we ate that for mother's day. I headed over to my cousin’s house and I helped her with homework she hasn't finished yet. While I was there they were still going on watching rugby, the kids playing, and me listening to songs. At my cousin’s we were scaring each other and telling each other spooky stories, but I had the worsts. We watched some scary movies and then after we listened to some calmed songs to calm us down.

While she was reading her scriptures for cemenary work, I was on her Facebook page busy looking at pics and watching videos. I really enjoyed some of the videos and pictures, they were really funny and kinda sad. I didn't know that much of what my parents did back at my house, but what I do know is that my parents and relatives had the best MOTHER’S DAY EVER!!!!!.

Another Best Day At Our Netball Lesson!!!!!!

It was a bright sunny and my class is walking down to the court for another netball lesson. The skills we learnt there was defence and attack, the games we played there was the same as last weeks but bits and bits were the same. It was amazing, everyone was cheering, yelling, and mostly supporting. I saw on everyone’s faces had this fear kinda facial, it was so funny. Wow! another best day at netball!. I can’t wait for our next lesson next week

My Excellent Reading!

Today I read Monty Takes the Prize by Jen Storer. I am able to understand the story and complete all the related activities. I am proud of myself and I am going to keep reading till I get better at it.

Our Amazing Scoot Skills!

How Amazing! Today my class had scoot skills, we learnt what to do when we’re on a scooter and we also learnt the rules. We had a teacher from Travelwise. She taught us about what to wear, when we’re on a scooter we need to wear a helmet, knee pads, and elbow pads. She gave us a scooter and we had to share it, we had to ride down to almost the other side of the court and then make a stop turn to the other side and then ride back. We kept on doing till we went onto our last lesson. She showed demonstrations so we will understand and know how to ride a scooter on the road, footpaths, and also on driveways. I didn't really like it, but at least we got to have a little bit of fun.

My Amazing Maths Lesson With Mrs Raj!

Today I learnt how to add and use tidy numbers. I didn't complete the last two because I had to finish my maintenance and we also ran out of time. I sat next a partner in my group and we worked together with all our maths. We talked a little about maths and what we couldn't solve but managed to solve it as a team.

What I really enjoy in maths is when I use tidy numbers and work with Mrs Raj because I need some help and I really to move up a level or two. My goal in my maths is to try and work harder and try be smarter like all my other classmates.


I really enjoy doing maths. Maths is one of my favorite subjects in school. I like to do some maths at home on the computer or on a math sheet. I like to do maths with my dad and my older cousin because I understand clearly and they don't confuse me like how I am at school, always confused. Maths is fun, confusing, exciting, understanding, and also cool. I enjoy maths lessons with my teacher and I hope to be like that everyday.

Kiwi Sport Netball Lessons

Yes! It’s Netball! In this lovely morning we found out we had netball lessons to go to. We learned about chest pass and the how to do a chest pass with a W when we're passing a ball. We went into groups of three and practised. And in those groups we had a competition which group can do 30 chest passes, it was really cool.

We only had limit of time so we played another game, we were put into 2 groups and got a number in those groups. There was 2 netballs in 3 hoops and when our number was called we run to the centre of the court and grab a ball as fast as we could and go passing it one by one to the the students in our team. Everyone was screaming, shouting,yelling, and excited.

And when the last number was called out it was my number. I was panicking and excited, everyone in my team was yelling hurry, hurry, faster. But all that yelling made our team loose because the last person I had to pass the ball to was also panicking so she through the ball too slow. It was alright, well better luck next time.

The Coolest Games Ever!

Guess what I did in my holidays! I had the amazing Thursday ever, but it was only on the first week. On that most fantastic day all primary kids and teachers had a game day at our church. Everyone was running, sweating, and losing balance.

On the last few minutes we had a BBQ we ate, we drank, and we played some games of ourselves. I never ate, all I did was drink and eat ice-cream. I played with my nephew and nieces and I also played with teachers baby. It wasn't really the best day ever, but at least we had to get out of the house.

One of the games we played was dance freeze. I bailed on that one because I didn't know how dance, everyone was dancing especially my friends. The songs were nice so I just sang to that. Another game we played was a game that we had to sprint our way to the other end and place a ball in a hoop. I lost my balance on that one but I nailed it.

We played all sorts of different games that I didn't like, so I just sat there and watched.
