Team 5 fun challenge...

“ YAY !” Room 22 yelled as Ms Tito sling shot a ball in the hoop. On Tuesday the 23rd of August 2011, team 5 was going to have a fun day. All the activities we were doing were with the teachers. The teachers were Ms Tito, Mrs Nua, Mr Harris and Mrs Langitupu. We were all looking forward to see what they have planned for us.

Our first activity was with Ms Tito. We had to use a sling shot to try and shoot a ball in a hula hoop. If we get it in the pink hoop we get 100 points and if we get it into the other coloured hoops like the blue one, we get 50 points. It looked easy and I just could not wait for my turn.
“ Go,” Ms Tito said to us.
Lepa was the first one to have a go. We all thought that he would get it in but sadly we all thought wrong because he missed. It was finally my turn. When I slinged the ball into the air, I just knew I would not get it in. So then Ms Tito stepped in and had a go. She took amount of time thinking of which way to shoot but it was worth it because she actually got it in. In just the last minute someone got us some extra points cause they got a ball in the hula hoop. So out of that whole 15 minute we earned ourselves 100 points.

Our next activity was with Mr Harris. His game was the 3 legged race. What we had to do was to get a partner and tie 1 of our legs together and try to walk all the way to the other side with a spoon and a tennis ball on it. Just after me and my partner watching the other team, we thought it was hard because they kept dropping the ball but the only way for us to find out was to just have a go.
" GO! " Mr Harris yelled at us. "
" Left, right, left, right " we were all saying at the same time.
It was easy to us and it was fun. We would of came a 2nd place but Ilalio and Junior M just beat us.

Our next activity was with Mrs Nua. This game was just about team work. We had to get a sponge full of water and try get it to the other side to a bucket by putting it to the side and under our leg. With the most water in the bucket wins. It looked so fun and we all just could not wait to get a turn.
" GGOO! " Mrs Nua yelled to us.
The people in my group was Beni, Emilee, Julie, Ngametua and I. There were a lot of screaming and a lot of cheating but our group didn’t care. We were trying our hardest but we just did’nt win. But we were pretty close though. We thought that this was one of the best game we did so far. But we just have to keep that in mind because we still had one activity left.

Our last activity was with Mrs Langitupu. What We had to do was try to chuck the ball without stepping and try to touch the other team. It looked easy and cool too and we just could not wait to start
" PLAY! " Yelled Mrs Langitupu.
We all started to run away from the other team because they were trying to get us. Ilalio tried to block me and so was Miracle, so I dropped on the ground and started crawling away from them as fast as I could. It was so funny that I couldn't stand back up. But then Mrs Clark said that we had to switch and now it was our turn to get the other team. Some of them were easy to catch because they wont even try to run but some of them were hard like Miracle. He was so to fast we couldn’t keep up with him. But then it was game over, our team won the challenge.

I had a lot of fun and I know the other classes did too. I hope we could do this again during this year.
THANK YOU TEACHERS!!!

In Room 22 we took a M.I test to see what our Multiple Intelligences are. There are 8 and they are Intrapersonal Intelligence, Verbal/Linguistic Intelligence, Musical Intelligence, Visual/spatial Intelligence, Mathematical/Logical Intelligence, Bodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence, Interpersonal Intelligence, Naturalistic Intelligence and I.C.T Intelligence.

Badminton writing...

"Brrrrr" it was freezing cold as I was sitting on the floor but the burst of excitement to play Badminton kept me warm.

On Thursday morning the 4th of August, Room 22 went to the hall to have a session with a lady called Laureen. She taught us how to play Badminton. Laureen was from the Auckland Badminton Club.

The first activity we did was to control a shuttle. It looks easy but when you try to do it, its hard. We also stopped at some time and Laureen showed us some cool tricks like how to hit the shuttle under your legs. The tip she gave us was not to look down.

The next activity we did was to get in a circle and get 5 shuttles and take 5 steps back from the rubbish bin. The thing we had to try to do was to hit the shuttle inside the bin. Etta was the first one to get it in. She kept saying that she was the best but then I got one in and then she didn’t say anything back.

Our next activities was to get a partner and a cone. What we had to do was your partner had to serve the shuttle and the other person had to try and get it in the cone. It is so easy that I could do it with my eyes closed. I had so much fun that I didn’t want to stop.

I can not wait to have our next session. I am all ready to go.

Presentation about Tonga...

On Monday, Ms Tito put us into pairs of 2. We had to pick a country and we had to do a presentation about it. Here is me and my partners presentation about the country Tonga.
