Netball Session.

As our class arrived to the netball courts we met a lady named ‘Liz’. She was our coach for the week. Once we got started she told us much more about herself then we got our legs going. What we did first was we had to exercise therefor was chest passing. chest passing was easily prepared. all we had to do was to mark the ball across our chest, then throw it to our partner across from us, then our partner would do the same thing.

After a while we were on for the game of netball! Once we started we were splited into two groups, Bibs. & No Bibs. The group i was put in was Bibs. Then we automatically started. Instead of us putting the ball in the hoop we instead were dropping it on to marked dots on each side of each 4 corners.  

When it started the other group ‘No bib’s’ had the first ball. What we were trying to do was to try not let the person that had the ball not to get a goal so we had to try and defend her waving our arms in the air.

As the game had finally finished it was time to go so we said ‘bye’ to Liz and ‘thank you for teaching us much more about netball’ What a wonderful day of netball.

The Treaty .

In our class, Room Nineteen, Us students have been studying a lot about The Treaty of Waitangi. What iv'e learnt so far was that the Europeans traded in there muskets for the Maoris Food, Also, The Europeans have been involved in Whaling and Sealing and that the signing finally was signed on the 6th February 1840 by William Hobson and the 34 Chiefs.

That was a lot of information about Waitangi Day and the signing.

Health + Me = ?

This term, in Maths, we are learning about statistics. As part of our learning we are examining data related to our health . The first part of our examination we collected data (information) about the food we ate for one week (2/2 to 9/2) .

The graph (or chart) shows how much i ate from six major food groups .

First day of school.

Its a new year and i had returned back to school as a year 8, This year for 2012 I am in the class Room 19 of Mr Harris. On the first day us students worked on a worksheet that wanted us to be seated comfortable with. After that we did another paper work and it was the Treaty of Whaitangi. What i learnt on that sheet was the signing , Queen Victoria and other facts. Once we finished that we played a mini game of hangman. It was really difficult figuring out the words but atleast we had fun. What a new start to the year.
