Skipping

As a focus for this term for P.E  with Mrs Allan, we are doing skipping. We are all at completely different levels, with some just learning how to skip, and others trying to attempt double dutch. I feel I'm doing okay with it, and today have learnt how to time it so I can jump in and out while the rope is going instead of having to stop the rope. This also ties into our decade study, as when quite a few of our parents were young, they would spend their lunch times skipping. Where as these days we do a variety of things during our lunchtimes, I for example play sport. Do you ever skip? I look forwards to progressing this term and by the end will hopefully be starting to double dutch and if not will be a confident skipper.

I really enjoy travelling to new places and events to run and do other sports.

Family & Pets - Without my family I would have survived my 11 years of living because they have supported, loved, they buy my needs and clothing etc. My grandparents, parents and siblings are all so AMAZING!!!! My pets and my grandparents pets always make me smile whether it's when I throw the ball for them or they do a somersault they are all so funny!! I especially love celebrating Christmas and special festive seasons with my family and pets. Do like spending time with your family??? How to you celebrate Christmas??? Have you got any pets???

Planning A Trip To????

Today I've been learning about New Zealand and globally famous olympic shot putter, Dme Valerie Adams. She definitely sounds like a legend and a strong olympian! So what I had to do was create a brochure for her. Have you or one of your family members been to Tonga??? If you haven't would you consider going there in the future??? Here is my brochure (below) 

Venus And Serena Williams

Venus & Serena Williams are some of the best tennis players in the world. Here are 3 facts about them and some things I would still like to know about them . . .

- A decade ago Wimbledon (a big tennis event) became the last grand slam to grant women equal prize money.

- In 2005, Venus won Wimbledon in what was the longest women's final in history.

- Serena has earned well over $80 million during here career winning 23 grand slams.

- I would still like to know how they got into playing tennis, how long they have been playing and if they didn't play tennis what job or career would you have been involved with??? 

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.
