Games

On the last day of term three, some of the class created games and used newspaper to make all the equipment.
Katherine and Yasmin made a movie about it. Enjoy!

The First Game

The Gymnastics Test

"Amber you're up."

Her mind goes blank,

Her heart grabbing its sneakers.

What was that routine again?

She starts fretting,

Laser eyes burning through her.

No, must concentrate,

She becomes oblivious of 

the eyes staring at her.

The room is empty.

Salute, step, go,

Full stretch, pointed toes now.

"Relax, do it like it's

your last practice."

Almost there, Done!

Ending salute.

She runs to her group,

Almost fainting in relief.

I was pleased with my ball kicking

Dayna created these comic pages to reflect on our wonderful football skills with Napier City Rovers.

FOOTBALL WITH SUMMER

Olivia's Soccer Skills

Shannon's Football Skills

Room 18's First Voicethread!

Ethan and Reanna created this voicethread to reflect on our football skills with the Napier City Rovers. They got most of the class to join in by adding comments with voice, words or doodles.

Football

Something I was pleased with was my shooting at the goal.

I really enjoyed playing the game at the end.

Something I found hard was shooting from long distances.

Football Skills

I created this wordle to reflect on my soccer skills. I enjoyed shooting at the goal and having fun.

Breanna was our class blogger this week. She decided to take photos of our P.E. lesson and created this video. She has had a very productive week!

Netball Dodgeball

Parwinder and Xavier were our class bloggers this week. They decided to take photos and make a slideshow of one of our favourite fitness games: netball dodgeball. They did a super job!

WALT dodge

For PE we have been learning to dodge. To improve our dodging we are playing skill-based games and then reflecting on our learning. Yasmin reflected on the IWB today after we played Shadow Partner and Octopus. Octopus was the class favourite. Mr M :)

Swimming a Mile

Xavier was one of the many Room 18 children who completed their 200 metre swim at the Frimley Aquatic Centre a while back. Here he is pictured with Ben (after they both achieved the 200 metres). Below is a great poem Xavier wrote about the experience. He uses descriptive language well to show emotion, colour and personality. His writing has voice.


SWIMMING A MILE

Thump, Thump, Thump.
My heart was beating like crazy
I was next in line for swimming the 200m challenge.

I was about to back out but...
the whistle went.
Damn, I thought as I dived into the ice cold pool.

I was doing well until the last 5 metres.
My legs were so tired they stopped working!!!
Oh no.

I'm mince meat.
But as I was thinking I'm mince meat
I had done it!!!

Softball Skills

We have been learning softball skills with the amazing coach, Grant Hastings. We love it! Reanna created a comic to show some of the skills we are learning. "Point, step, throw!"
