Life Education Caravan

For the four 3 weeks Room 22 have been going to the Life Education Caravan. We have learnt that we have different kind of choices that we have of consequences. Lots of bad choices lead us to cancer and it is not just by smoking it by some other things aswell. Our session with Life Education is over. And we had lots of fun and we enjoyed going there for the past 3 weeks.

Basketball

On Thursday last week I was feeling pretty happy because there were two instructors who had come to Pt England to teach us some basketball skills. Unfortunately for me I had to be the photographer because of my knee injury. So I watched and was ready with the camera to capture some of the action. They introduce their names to us and their names are Tie and Shane. they gave us some rules and we had to follow them as they told us to get in a line of five groups facing the white wall. Once we were in our lines Tie and Shane gave us a ball to each line. Now it was time to do some techniques skills. Then we ran up to Shane and Tie as we were bouncing the ball. Once we got up to the instructors we did a jump stop and then a pivot as we count one two and then passed it back to the line. After that we had to stop what we were doing and we weren't aloud to bounce the ball when he was speaking. When he was finished talking he told us that we were playing a game vs boys and girls. But the girls had to go in the middle of the court and the boy have to tag us with the ball. Then it was the boys turn to be in the middle and all the girls have to tag them with the ball, then it was time for us to head back to class and get ready for morning tea time.

Valerie Adams won silver in the London olympic women’s shot put. Four throws out past the 21-metre mark in the final with her third round effort of 21.36m her best. Valerie Adams could only manage 20.70m with her best,also in the third round,while Russia’s Evgeniia Kolodko won the bronze with a final throw of 20.48m.

Olympic Flag

The founder of the modern Olympic games, Pierre de Coubertin, also designed the Olympic flag. For the flag, he chose 6 colours red, yellow, blue, green, black and white. these colours are the colours from every country's flag. And the white of the background stands for peace and truth. The five rings represents the five continents of the world. Each Olympics this symbol is included in the official Olympic.

Olympic

London 2012 The games of the 30th olympiad will be held in London . In 2012 London will become the first city to ever host an Olympics 3 times. The first time they hosted the London olympic was in 1904. Then they hosted them again in 1948 now it’s in 2012. It is a city of Majesty and Modernity meaning old but also new. This year will be seeing some familiar faces. These people were in the last olympic 4 years ago in Beijing. These people are Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt competing against people all over to the world to try win gold again. I am hoping that Usain Bolt comes first not second in the 100m.

KIWI KICK

After morning tea our class walked through the breeze towards the
netball courts. When we arrived the class had to sit down on the ground, I had to remain standing due to my knee injury. My teacher (Mrs Nua) said that I could be the photographer, she then gave me the keys for our classroom and asked me to get the camera out. I went back and started taking some photos of everybody, room 20 also came and sat down too.

The instructor (Sam) introduced a game called Kiwi Kick (in other words AFL). He taught us how the game is played and the rules involved, by demonstrating some ball drills for us eg: kick punt and drop punt. Kick punt is when you are holding the ball and release it in the air then kick it, and a Drop punt is when you drop the ball on the ground in front of you and then kick it.

Both classes taking up the whole court and half of the field had to pair up to practice the drills 20 times. Each pair was to choose a name “Penguin” or “Polar Bear” once decided they then had to spread out on the yellow line with their partner lined up behind them. Each person had to kick punt the ball to see who does it correctly and gets it the furthest and after do the same drill on the drop punt. While that was happening I was still walking around taking more photos to show Mrs Nua afterwards.

Yesterday we went to kiwi kick and we had (Sam) again. Then he said that we have to get into paris of two so me and Jessica were partners and we had to name each other cheaters or jaguars so I went as a jaguar and Jessica went as a cheater. After that he told us that the cheater have to go on the line by the cones and then he told us that we have to line up on the line too. After we had to line up we played a game called chase your partners to their lines. Sam said jaguars so Jessica had to chase me because she was a cheater and I was a jaguars and if he says cheaters then I have to chase Jessica because she is a cheater and I am a jaguar and jaguars have to chase cheaters to the line that is at the back of the cheaters.
