Dear term 1

Dear term 1 Sakae

This year I wanted to get better at my English. I have been working on my English by reading lots of books. Reading and writing help me with my English because I am learning more words. I am proud that I learned how to swim this year. My learning is on my blog and I have posted 142 times.

I have written about what I have achieved this year and what am I proud of. I think my English has improved and I have enjoyed this year at PBS.

Hockey Session 2

This week was our second session of Hockey with Carly. We first played shark attack which helped with defending, and hitting hard.  We have to hit other people ball with our hockey stick. If someone hit our ball and went out of the space we used, we would have to sit down. When Carly said Shark Attack, each person had 10 seconds to try to hit the remaining people's hockey balls. We then had to get into our coloured stick team, when Carly said Swap we had to swap our ball with our coloured stick team. I passed to the people in the green team, who was Ma'ata, Javeylor, Oh Hsen, Sylis, Lyndon, and me. This helped us with passing our balls. After that the yellow team joined the green team and played a hockey game. When Carly would say a number (amount of people) they would run up and pass to someone and try to score. I loved the game and had so much fun. 

Athletics Day PBS

Today was the athletics day. We played so many games which included a lot of team spirit and sportsmanship. We all helped each other and encouraged everyone on. We played high jump, basketball shoot, netball shoot and shot-put and in the hall we played rob the basket. We also had some helpers from Tamaki college who guided us and helped us play.  The year 7's first played netball/basketball shoot where we had a rotation from our three team's, one team would sit out (and cheered us on) and the two other teams went on the court and shot some balls in the hoops. We all had fun and had so much team spirit in us. I think our team were being very nice and telling me how and what to do.

Plane flying in LS.2

Today we had paper plane flying in LS.2.  Our task today was forming a team paper plane and flying it to see how long it can go. Our plane flyer in our team was Gozan (although Thomas was the winner, I think), He did a great job, even if it didn't go all the way. Our learning intention was to make a paper plane that will fly the further est. What I liked about today while making planes was when we worked collaboratively as a team which made me feel very happy and joyful inside. I also liked flying our planes last Thursday out on the balcony.
