This week we have been making a poster for our schools market day. The product we are selling are big and small frames. We had to do this task in a group of 5 so it will be easier to get our poster done. When they are done and printed out we can give it to kids in classes and hang them up around the school.

Inter school|Athletics day.

Yesterday myself and some kids from my school went into inter school for athletics day. It was going to be held at Pakuranga. I was going to do the 400 and 75 metre sprints.

The first one I did was the 400 metre sprint. When you do the 400 metre sprint you have to run one whole lap. When I finished I had to wait for about 2 hours to do my 75 metre sprint because the boys are going to be doing the running events first and the girls will be doing the field events. Then at 12:00 we swap so the boys will do the field events and the girls do the running events.

When 2 hours passed most of the girls including me had to go down near the running track. The way it goes is that it will start with little kids and then end with the older kids so the year level would be year 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. The race I did first was the heats so that means who ever comes 1st, 2nd or 3rd might go to the final. When I finished my race a lady gave me a card that said 3rd. That meant I came 3rd but I realized that the first 2 goes to the final. I didn't really mind but at least I came 3rd for the heats. It was fun competing but the challenging thing was competing against kids that were really fast.

Doubles tennis

LI:To play doubles tennis

Doubles tennis is when two players play against another two players. Both players on each team should have turns at hitting the ball. The person closer to the ball should hit the ball. We practised by playing doubles.

Athletics day

Last week on Friday it was athletics day. Athletics day is a sport event that the whole school does every year. When we do athletics day all the kids get to do fun activity's that will help us get fit. We had to do this event in 4 groups but the 4 groups names will be primary colors and the colors are green, yellow, red and blue. This year I was in the red team. There were 10 activity's we had to complete. When we finish the activity the team who wins get a point and who every has the most points at the end of the day wins. We know when we have to move on to the next activity because we will hear a loud noise. The last activity was the sprint race which is going to be hard after all the activity's we have done. In our year levels we had to race each other in our own lanes when we hear the clapper. The year 3 and up people that came 1st, 2nd and 3rd goes into inter school.

This week I have commented on Elaario's reading blog post he did this week. The thing I liked about his blog post is the screenshots of google slides at the bottom of his blog post.

Once all of us had a turn we had to try and doing the same thing with the racket. When you use the racket you throw the ball up and then you use the racket to hit it diagonally to your partner. We had trouble hitting it because some of us are hitting to high or hitting the ball somewhere else but we still tried.

We had 4 rounds, my partner and I got the ball 2 times each.

Volley
After we warmed up couch Peter told us we are going to learn how to do a volley and then we can have a rally. He said when you do a volley is when a person it's the ball high and you lift up your tennis racket where the ball is going and you hit it. We practises for about 5 or 10 minutes with our partners and then couch peter said that we can do some rally now.

Rally
When we did the rally couch Peter told us to try and not let the tennis ball touch the but if it does you have to start all over again. We have to count the hits that we did an then we have to try and beat that score.We had about 6 or 7 rounds before we had to go.

Report about the Twits

LI:Attached to comprehension task.

This week I have completed one task which was making a report about the Twits. This report will tell people why the Twits are cruel. My design for the background of report was using a old piece of paper. Next I had to think of a title so I thought of this needs to stop because this does need to stop, they can't stop playing tricks on each other! After that I inserted of a photo of their house so people know where they live. The last thing I did to make this report more interesting was put pictures of pranks they have done to each other and writing what the prank was under the pictures.
