Athletics Practice

             ATHLETICS

During school we have been training for the athletics at Lower Moutere.  We have to practice high jump, long jump, discus, shot put, relays, 80m and 100m sprints and 1500m run.  We have been doing  a P.E activity where you have to jog then sprint then jog and so on around the rugby field.  It was hard when we first started doing it but then they started to get easier.  We have been starting to practice high jump and long jump which is quite easy.  We also have been doing relays and have sorted out our teams.

Adrenalin Forest

On our camp we went to many places but my favorite was the Adrenalin Forest.  In Adrenalin Forest there were high ropes connecting the trees.  We had to climb on the ropes though-out the levels.  The higher the level the higher the ropes are in the trees.  The highest was 23m off the ground and we were attached to the ropes with clips and a harness.  Emily K, Boston and I were the only ones to finish the whole course.  It was very fun and scary.  It was a good experience for all of us.

Riwaka Cross Country

Riwaka Cross Country

All of the Riwaka school did the cross country on the 3rd of August.  Everyone did really good as it was quite a distance to run.  Years 4, 5 and 6 ran 2km and year 7 and 8 ran 3km. As it was wet 

on Thursday when we were suppose to run it got postponed till Friday.  We were going to run through the orchards but it was wet and muddy so we didn't.  Lots of parents and caregivers came to show support to all of the children and cheered everyone to carry on running.  The top 5 placings of all age groups get to go to the inter-school cross country at Rabbit Island on Tuesday the 7th of August.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE GOING!

TOKU MAHI NA MORAG 

Here in room 8 we are learning to make silent movies.  They are like normal movies but are with no talking, hence the silent part. They are filmed in black and white and are generally played in fast motion.  They are  very old movies and and usually comedies.  We are making them in groups of 6 and have the option of creating our movies about crime, sport, ANZAC or TOW.
