Cinquain Poems

What: Today we had to write a Cinquain poem.

So What: This is one of mine                Spiders
                                                           Furry, Freaks
                                                    Creepy, Crawly, Critters
                                             Hiding in corners then jumping out!
                                                                   Scary

                                                                Unicorns
                                                          Mythical, Magic
                                                  Friendly, Fluffy, Amazing
                                                   Makes life worth living
                                                             Horned horse
Now What: Now I want to do a more descriptive poem.

SSW

What: For most of the year every class has been working on SSW (sustained, silent, writing) my most recent writing that I have been working on is called Eyes Of Stone.

So What: Here is the blurb for my story,   A boy has been cursed and turned into a cliff every century there is a storm that curses 3 others, 3 scientists are trying to find the cure, can they do it?

Now What: Now I would like to complete the story.

Technology

WHAT: Today the year sixes got the opportunity to go to Lincoln school and got to get a taster of what the year sevens and eights get to do every Tuesday for technology.

SO WHAT: I was in the yellow group. But then some people from every group made a new group, the rainbow group, I was in that new group. The first thing the rainbow group did was cooking, in cooking we decorated biscuits. The next thing my group went to was the textile designs there I made a little emoji pillow thing it was more like a toy though. The final thing I went to was wood works, there we made coasters. My favourite thing was everything. The most challenging thing was wood works because using the poker burner was very frustrating because it wouldn't work and I tried 4 machines but they worked when others including the teacher it did work.

These are 2 of the three things that I made.

NOW WHAT: I am looking forward to 3D design for next year.

Soccer Rules

These are some of the rules for soccer/football:
1.You can't touch the ball with your hands, unless you are the goaly.
2. If you kick the ball out of the boundaries the other team gets it.
3. The goaly can't go outside of the goaly box otherwise knows as the penalty box.
4. No tackling other players.
5. Respect the referee's opinion.
6. Give people a chance with the ball.
7. To get a ball you must kick the ball into the goal/net that the other team's goaly is guarding.
8. If you are setting up two teams try and make them fair according to everyone's ability.

Athletics

WHAT: I participated in the Kauri athletics in the 10 year old girls group.

So What: The sports that I got done were discus, high jump, sprints and then shot-put. It was very fun and exciting, I improved the most in high jump with a personal best of 95 cm but we had't finished doing it and i could get a meter, every year in the past I have done the short sprint but this year I did long sprint and I am very proud of myself, and I think that I did ok in discus and I am proud of myself in shot-put because the shot-put balls were very heavy.

Now What: Next week I want to get first in long jump again, and next year I want to do better in shot-put.

Swimming Lessons

WHAT: The week before the school holidays began we finished swimming. Here is my certificate

So What: I was in lane 4 and this is what I achieved in level 4

Now What: I think I need to improve on feet first sculling for a whole length.

Swimming

What: I have been involved in swimming over the last two weeks.

So What: I have been doing lots of lengths it was very fun. Yesterday (7.9.16) Louise was away and the reliever was busy so I got to go into lane 4 it was awesome and the hardest part that I did in lane 4  was the side breast stroke it is like regular breast stroke but on your side, I enjoyed doing stream line on my back, I found the feet first sculling challenging because my arms got really tiered.

Now What: Now I would like to improve on my side breast stroke because it was really hard and I stopped quite a few times, by keeping my head above the water.
