Athletics Day

Every year our school has an athletics day. I like participating in athletics because I like all of the categorises, I am not a very big fan of discus and shot put though. I really enjoy long jump, high jump and running. We do lots of events every year, which I try to blog about. We do many activities on athletics day like long jump, high jump, discus, shot put, sprints and running.

We were put into our age groups first, then we are taken off in our age groups to do different activities in a rotation. The 11 year old's (my group & I) were taken to sprints first, we lined up, Mr Knight said "take your marks, get set... GO!!" I ran all the way to the line at the end, I almost over took Liana but, she just bet me! We then moved on to high jump, the highest I could jump was 105cm (which is still pretty high!) Our next rotation took us to shot put then we moved on to ... Long jump, in long jump I jumped 3m something and I almost hit the wood at the end! We ran out of time on Tuesday so we didn't finish our last rotation but, we finished that the next day on Wednesday. Our last rotation was discus (the one I dread the most!)

I came 2nd in the sprints, 2nd in the 2 lap run and 2nd in the 3 lap run, 2nd in high jump, 1st or 2nd in shot put, 1st or 2nd in long jump and 3rd in discus. I had a super fun day, I can't wait for next years athletics day!!! My Dad took some pictures of me (Below)

Simile Writing About Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce currently holds the record for the 100m sprint and has been crowned “world’s fastest woman” a record four times! I did some simile writing about her (under picture) She is currently 33 years of age and was educated in Jamaica.During her college years she did well in athletics, winning the Jamaican Schools Championships at the age of 16. She went on to win many races at both the Olympics and the World Championships. Over the years people have compared her running speed to elite sprinters, like Usain Bolt, to many things, including animals!

Here is my writing ... (below)

As fast as a shiny new gold super car with new rims and tyres,
As tall as a giraffe with an extra large neck that reaches the cloud
Is as small as a new born baby all wrapped up in a soft, warm cotton blanket,
Is as beautiful as a butterfly’s delicate colourful wide spread wings.

BFG

The BFG or Big Friendly Giant is of course a giant and is a humongous size, he also has humongous ears! The BFG's personalty is friendly and kind, unlike all of the other 9 mean giants in the story like... Fleshlumpeater, Manhugger, Bonecruncher, Childchewer, Meatdripper, Gizzardgulper, Maidmasher, Bloodbottler and the Butcher Boy. 

In the BFG they speak a language called Gobblefunk, Blabbersnitch means - a creature that lives under the sea, Buggles means - completely crazy, Crodscollop means - a mouth watering flavour - for example, the taste of chocolate ice cream, Goggler means an eye, Hornswoggler means - a very dangerous creature, Oompa Lompa means - a very small person - a tribe of them work in Willy Wonka's fantastic chocolate factory, Phizz Whizzing means - Brilliant or really, really good, Ringbeller means - The BFG's word for an amazingly excellent dream: the complete opposite to a nightmare, Splatch Winkle - Splatch winking means rushing around the house; in a hurry, Svollop means - To svollop something to destroy it, Time Twiddler means - A time twiddler is very special. Time Twiddlers -  are immortal; they live for ever and ever, Vermicious Knid - WATCH OUT! These beasts are vicious killers who can fool you by changing shape and Whoopsy Splunkers - Used to describe something absolutely marvellous. 

The BFG wears a white long sleeved shirt with a brown vest and a greeny grey shade of long pants and a pair of sandles. To Sophie he has a long sharp knife like nose and above the nose 2 bright eyes with arms as big as tree trunks. He also wears a black cape at witching hour. I think that the BFG smells like snozzcumber (whatever they smell like) because he seems to eat them a lot, however, I image that they smell unpleasant because to be honest they don't look very appealing or the other thing I think he might smell like is farts because of all of the frobscottle he drinks then all of the whizzpoppers he does. The BFG's main hobby is blowing lovely golden dreams, and nice dreams in to children's windows at witching hour through a trumpet. First he opens his suitcase and selects a dream to blow into that child's window then he opens a screw top bottle of dreams and pours it down the trumpet in the window then into the child's head.

Maori Version:

Taku maunga ko Mt Macedon, Ko taku wai / awa he awa Coliban, Ko Trentham taku taone, Ko Austrailia taku whenua, Ko taku whaea ko Robyn, Ko Robert toku papa, Ko taku tuakana iti ko Tim, Ko ōku mātua koroua ko Fred & Karen, He piaku 2 nga kuri, 4 nga ika koura, 10 nga koati, 3 nga poaka guinea, Kei te noho ahau inaianei ki Aotearoa me oku whanau

Sorry if I have made any mistakes, as I said I am a native English speaker so I don't know much about Maori speaking or pepeha's.

Image Attribution

Today I was learning how to find an image attribution and how to find information and facts.
I enjoyed learning more about Lorde and creating a poster about her.
I found it challenging to create the facts in my own words with some sentences.
My digital learning object shows that I understand how to find facts, create a poster and find an image attribution.
Next time I would change the layout of my poster and I would also change the facts and images.
Do you know how to find an image attribution?

Memories Poster

To never forget our 2019 Anaura Bay Camp we created memory boards. We used a mixture of hand drawn images, stickers, magazines, watercolour and images of us on camp e.g - Rylee and I jumping of the Tolaga Bay Wharf. Have you ever created a memory board or scrapbook page??? Here is my memory board...

Toilet & King

Every Wednesday, Graham from Poverty Bay Cricket Association comes to our school to teach us cricket skills. He teaches us games, throwing, bowling & batting lessons and great techniques. One of my favourite games was the Toilet & King. In the set of slides above I had showed a set of instructions and created an animation demonstrating how you play.

Here is my class playing cricket with Graham,
