Magic Box Poem

 

These past few weeks for writing we were focusing on the 'Magic Box poem' made by Kin Nisbett, our focus was description, we had to paint a picture in the reader's mind. We used powerful words to hook the audience in. We had to use verbs, and powerful adjectives. 

John Palavi's and Ryan Hoffman's Visit

Today, Alice from DTR asked 2 people from the Warriors, John Palavi and Ryan Hoffman. The two came to our school to talk about Hauora. Alice also chose 15 people to go to the Warriors game a couple of weeks ago.  Georgia was leading the assembly. We played, "Team Trivia" where we had two teams, John's team's chant was J.P (His nick name) and Ryan's team's chant was, Hoffie (His nick name). The team that shouted louder was the team who could answer. One person in the team answered, and if it was correct then they won a Warriors theme bottle. They talked about, sleep, hydration and belongings. Warriors always need 8 hours of sleep because of their training. A big thank you to Alice for giving these opportunities to Panmure Bridge school such as going to one of the games that the Warrior's played, and letting John, Ryan and Georgia for coming and spending their time in Panmure Bridge school. 

Mighty Muscles Main Idea

This week our main topic was about: finding the main idea in a story. We had to read a story called, 'Might Muscles.' It was a story about muscles and how they work. But for us to find the main idea, we had to also check. We had to talk about how we know that, that is the main idea. In the end, I thought that the main idea for this text was talking more about our muscles, how we keep them safe/prevent them from injuries and a little bit about our muscles. 

Fast Facts - Mighty Muscles

This week, we read a text called, 'Mighty Muscles' which explains more about muscles and how we prevent them from injuries. For this activity, we had 5 minutes to list all of the main ideas/facts from the text. 

Run, Jump, Throw - Long Jump

Yesterday at Run, Jump Throw our focus was Long Jump. We were learning more about jumping and how to stay balanced after you jump. We learnt the differences between not bending your knees and bending your knees. We learnt how it affects you if you don't bend your knees (You don't go as far). We played a game were we had 4 people and 4 cones, we had to record how far we went. The people who jump the farthest had a little competition in the end, in the end Zahn won out of everyone.
