It was a long day with Andre coming third for the RSA sheild(second fastest boy in the school), Fletcher running for the Piece sheild(Fastest kid in school) coming fourth and Risaleaana winning second in fastest girl.We may not have won any trophies but that didn't hold us back when it was time for prize giving.

Winter Sports!!!.... Judo

Last Thursday Room 4 competed in the Winter Sports, We had a Rugby team, and a Netball team.
We were very lucky that it was a sunny day because other wise it would of been cancelled. Lets start with the rugby team. It was a tough start with a draw of 3-3 against Ngatimoti, but soon got used to how the game worked. The rugby team got as far as the quarter finals losing to Lower Moutere 5-3. It was only 1:00pm and we'd finished so we asked other teams that finished their games if they'd like to have a fun game with us. It was very successful. Now lets move to the Netball Team, They had a very good team winning all games but one and they drew one game well done to them. They did very good especially when for most of them it was the first time playing Netball.

Last week I traveled to Christchurch to compete in the South Island Championships. I won Gold in my weight division and silver in the open losing to a person from Phoenix Canterbury. It was Fun also because I got to meet Moira De Villers( New Zealand Olympic, she competed in the 2012 Olympics.) I was really happy with my results and hope to keep improving.

Kids of Character Cross Country

This term the main focus is being Kids of Character e.g
Explain how our learning impacts others,
Acknowledge rights and wrongs and
Display the fruits of the spirit Gal 5:22.

Last Friday, Tasman Bay Christian School was invited to have a Cross Country practise with Tasman School at the Domain. In my race it was aged 8-13. My plan was to get a tie with Shanara but she got injured so it didn't work out. I really enjoyed it because there were some really cool obstacles like running through a creek, up a steep hill and over some fences.I came first overall and in my age. I felt in needed to be further and harder because I was so used to running further for practise at school. I am looking foward to the real Cross Country at Rabbit Island.

Harold!!

Today Room 4 had a visit with Harold and Victoria,( the Life Education teacher). The Topic was about making good choices. Victoria talked to us about how drugs affect our body. She also showed us a picture that showed tar on a liver of a person that didn't smoke , but had breathed in, and then Victoria showed us a picture of a liver covered in tar from a person that had smoked alot.My favourite part of both sessions was when Victoria shut off the lights  and stars appeared on the ceiling that either spelt Harold or they just made a picture i'm not too sure.Yesterday we watched a  movie of a girl named Anna. Anna was getting  peer presured from some girls at her school,they were forcing her to try and smoke and steal,this caused her in alot of trouble. One day while Anna was smoking, a boy had seen her smoking at a party and told her that she didn't have to be like the other girls and he also said that  his grandfather died from smoking because he got cancer. In the end she decided not to smoke. I really enjoyed   learning  about making good choices. At the end, our class got some rubber bracelets  and a mini Harold for the class.

Highlights this term

This term my highlights would be when our class went to Wellington. I enjoyed playing Laseroforce and going to the National War Memorial. It was a really awesome experience. At school,I liked sharing my Strengths with the little kids because I got to see them teach others.During the swimming season there were heaps of times where we had to swim in freezing water, I learnt how to do tumble turns really good and also learnt to keep my head straight down towards the bottom of the pool when I am swimming.While doing the colouring competition I thought that I would never be able to finish it but I did, with a little extra time. I thought it was actually the best colouring that I have done before.We have done alot of cool activities this term and I can't wait until next term.

Strengths!!

LEARNING GOAL (Kids of action and purpose, thinking, managing self and participating and contributing as a learner, subject specific– if appropriate) I want to get better at maths and the understanding od the questions. I want to get better at swimming because I enjoy it and want to get better at technique. Pick a strength in maths that I’m good at and get better at it.

PERSONAL GOAL ( Social, values, relating to others, managing self and participating and contributing in a community, kids of character and wisdom)   Love and respect others and their property  Kids of action-Be actively involved. I could teach them how to work out simple basic facts Addition and Subtraction.I can show them some Netball passes.                                                                                                

Brain Storm space-My partner was Theresa, I taught her how to do Netball passes (chest and log passes). After I taught her the passes she helped teach Bubbles how to pass the ball properly. She also told her  to keep her hands out ready to catch the ball.

STRENGTH GOAL: Appreciator-Your relationships are made stronger by your appreciation and thankfulness.

I enjoy Swimming. Explain what it looks like , get them to show me and then let them practice it in a game or a play. Teach them how to breath when they are swimming so they can get better at swimming.

28/3/12  Basic Facts– I taught Jaxson that anything times one equals that number for example 400*1=400, and then Jaxson explained to Theresa in the exact words that I taught him how to work out that anything times 1 equals the number that’s being timed. I explained to Jaxson how to work out 1 times tables then I demonstrated to Jaxson using my fingers how to work it out and then I got Jaxson to practise with me. I thought that Jaxson would know his * tables but he didn’t, so I had to teach him. I started with the one times tables and then he finally knew how to work it out. He also said he enjoyed teaching Theresa.

SUPPORT AND ACTION PLAN

Swimming– I want to take swimming lessons at the High School or get somebody to teach me so it wont cost any money.

National War Memorial

                                                          

The Unknown Warrior!!

Thank-you for showing us and telling us about the unknown warrior that went ot war in 1914- 1918. I liked how an unknown warrior that went to war and was brought back to New Zealand from France and was put in the Tomb that was laid in front of the war Memorial, because he was a New Zealander that went to war to fight for his country. It was really surprising to see how many people turned up at the Carillon on opening day, Anzac Day 1932 to pay respect for those who went to the World War 1 and didn't make it back. One interesting thing that I liked was the writing that said, “They gave their lives for their country that we might live in peace”. Wellington would have been really packed when the Warrior’s casket was placed on the back of a gun carriage for the funeral procession through central Wellington, watched by an estimated 100, 000 people. I really enjoyed learning about the Unknown Warrior. The war Memorial is over 50 metres.

This Term Room 4 have been  learning about our strengths,some of my strengths  are explorer, where I like to discover new things and EXPLORE new possibilities.Another strength of  mine is being a collaborator,I like to work in teams when playing games or be in groups when having to do tasks and problems.

Last week we had to work on our PLPs(personal learning plans),we had to fill out this sheet of paper that told us about our goals,strengths and what we are learnign and want to get better at. The following week there was parent interviews and when it was my turn to tell my Mum  about it I had to ask them questions like if there is any way that they could help and support me in any of my areas that I needed more help in. I am quite excited also to be able to teach some of the little kids some of my strengths that i can pass on to them.!!

Sports

Last week we played Netball against Parklands Gold. I think our team had a bit  of an advantage because Parklands Gold team had very short people, but they were very fast.
I was excited and couldn't wait to go and play against Parklands Gold. The clock was ticking and we only had a few more minutes left until the game started. Finally it was time to vs Parklands Gold. My position that I played was GA and WA. The game  started. Tui passed me the ball, I went for the shot and got a goal for the team. Time was up.  I knew we had won our game so I went over to the scorer and asked what the score was. She  replied 28-4 to Tasman Bay . I was really happy.
