Going to visit Harold the giraffe

Going into the mobile classroom to visit Lynne and Harold. I was wondering what we were going to learn about? This time round. We then got told that we were going to learn about Brainy Bunch. We learnt about our body parts and how our body parts work with each other.

We learnt about the parts that break down our food and the other body parts that did other important stuff that I can’t remember. All of your body parts work together and have their own job to keep you going. If you don’t look after your body properly then your body parts do not do their best parts.

My favourite part was the end . When we got to listen to the song harold was singing . The song went like this super computer super computer super computer what’s it’s name super computer it’s your brain . It was funny and the top of the mobile classroom stars lit up at the top of us .

If you’ve never been you should really go . Because it is lots of fun and you will learn about your body . But Lynne always says tinana . Harold and Lynne are great people  .

Acrostic poem about my friend Katrina


Kind to classmates and other people around her .
Acuratte at all of her tasks
Talks alot sometimes
Rugby is her favourite sport
Inside is not her thing she like outside
Nina is her nickname
Always awesome at every sport

Equestrian Olympics





Equestrian is a sport that is played in the olympics . It showcases jumping over stables and a little bit of dancing with a horse . There is a obstacle course that each competitor and horse has to do together . Their points are managed on how well they turn on the corners . There is absolute joy in feeling their powerful muscles with your every wish and command .

Whether you are a horse rider or not you should give Equestrian ago . If possible you will need to we're leather boots with heels also long pants are rirequired . A helmet should be provided in this sport in case you fall off and hit your head .  For the horses care you groom it . Did you know that you must by horse clothing before  you purchase a horse .

In a grooming kit you must have curry comb to break up the loose hair also a stiff body brush to remove or the debris and a soft finishing brush for the shine and gloss .

You must take care of your horse and concentrate on the medal . There is not that much techniques used in Equestrian but the one technique that is used on horses is love .

Winning a gold medal as a Equestrian is hard . You need to practise practise and practise . Also your horse must be 9 years old or more for them to compete in the olympics . Did you know that the 56 year old New Zealand competer won Bronze which made him come third . He had a 49.10 penalty .

MT . Eden


Adventurous was what I was feeling on Friday . When we went on a trip to Mt Eden for an nature                 experience . From a mountain's view . We went on the flying fox also we walked with loss in our mind          when walking through the bush walk . There were rocks that were stacked up on each other it was cool       because it made you feel like you were bear grills . When the walk ended we were all lost and the only way down was to go down a hill . Slipping away to tree to tree .  It was like pinball for a minute but there were a few similarities .



After that I went on the flying fox it was fun and scary . At the end you had to put your head down or else it  will hit your head . After my turn it was my dad and my little brothers turn . He was happy as . with both of them on they nearly touched the ground . It was funny watching them .

We went on a bush walk it was freaky because it was just me and my cousin Gabby . And we went on           the rocks that were stacked up on each other . I had slippery shoes on and then I nearly fell luckily I had a   tight grip on to my cousin . We were calling my cousin and trying to scare my cousin . She then found us      and we were laughing .

To end our beautiful day we went home and got to play a basket ball game .  At the courts . When we were puffed out we sat on the hill and watched the sun set . Who would ever think a basket ball court was a nice place to watch the sun set

Immersion Assembly

Walking through the door to school . I was wondering what we were learning about for this term . Turning around I saw the board that was telling us about what we are learning about . We then found out that we were learning about the Olympics but our heading was Go For Gold . I wasn't really surprised of the topic this term because of the Olympics . As I play netball and like some other sports I was really looking forward to doing some research on some different sports .


When I took my first step into the school  hall for immersion assembly my mind went crazy . Not like other assembly when the teachers are dressed like cave men and weird princess . This term they weren't that crazy only a bit . But when I looked around to all the teachers and teams that were dressed up and then when I looked around back to our team they were normal . Then I started to wonder what our item was going to be ?. It was the funniest there .


All of the items were inspiring and funny and had a hole lot of information  . After team 1 &2 I started to get inspired and I found out about some Olympians like Jesse Owen which is a famous Olympian for running . Did you know that he ran in the 500 kilometres and placed second .  Which would be pretty hard .

When doing his training's he had to run a 250 kilometres  track .
 

Do you know how to be a Olympian ?

DETERMINATION
DESIRE
Practice
