We are learning to do short cuts with Mrs Grant.

Today Mrs Grant came this morning she has taught us how to use our blog and to do short cuts and also how to use the touch pad. Anyways how to use the touch pad Mrs Grant said that we need to put  one finger on the side and my other finger on the other side. Then drag your finger and it will move. I enjoyed using the touch pad.

Talofalava my name is Nixcent.

Talofalava! My name is Nixcent, I go to Saint Patrick’s School. I am in Year 5 and my teacher is Mrs Agnew. My favourite subject is Reading and I enjoy learning about Sports.  I am good at guitar and entertaining people.  My goal for this year is to be a guitarist. In my spare time I like to sleep and hang out with my family.

Preparing for athletics day.

It’s our first time this year that we did have a session with Coach Bart to prepare us for Athletics Day. At first I thought it was so easy until karma got back at me.  It was hard!  We did running,  jumping,  and we had to also run on our toes, high and low.

At first we also played a game called sheepdog. You have to make sure you don’t get tagged from the noodle. It was a little easy to play but it was alright because I got very tired. And we also did a  race and we went really fast. The coach said “on your mark, get set, go.”

Our athletics day is going to be on the eighteen of November so he is going to teach us more skills but harder to make us way more tired. The only thing that coach wants us to do is listen because if we don’t we will spoil it for the others.

Now the next game was the jumping one. It was really easy for me and my friend Eldrich, Tuakalau, Patrick, and Wycliffe because we had to jump over the foam pigs but we had to stand quite far away. from them

So  it was a fun day today. Coach Bart was not that bad and he did teach us how to listen and run fast, high and low and also how to play sheepdog. He helped us learn how to jump properIy and I felt impressed about my day.

Swimming Lessons

Last term we went swimming lessons which were so much fun. We had to bring a head cap, togs, goggles and towels. We had to go on the bus to go to the CLM pools. On the bus Mr Bell’s class was singing on the bus so loudly. I was so happy when we got to the pools. Our instructor told us to get in the pool and her name was Mrs Parley. She was very kind and very good.

We learned how to float on our stomach and then swim to the platform which was like a trampoline. We also learned how to float on our backs and we also used the board. The instructor told me I was a professional. I had so much fun I wish I could do swimming lessons again.

Ki o rahi

Ki o rahi

Last Thursday we were watching a video about the game called ki o rahi. It is a Maori game but we did not play it because it was raining. Our coach’s name is Chelsea and the only games we played were only tagging games. We played infinity tag, bull rush and they were kinda hard for me but it was all right. The games were so much fun that I really loved it. The games were really creative because I have never played these games before and I learned how to play new games. I really hope we can play it again but especially to learn Ki o rahi.
