Netball On Saturday

" Now that I get the ball I am so, so nervous." I was wondering who to pass it to. I saw Annabel, I decided to pass it to her but her partner blocked her out. My mind is so confused, I see with the corner of my eye that Ryleigh has a space and she is free. I throw the ball as hard as could and luckily see caught it. Ryleigh passes it to Annabel and Annabel passes it to me again and I shoot, I miss and get the rebounds and I shoot again. YAY I get it this time. So far we have reached the 3rd quarter of the game and the score is 8 Parkvale and 5 Mayfair. The bell rings and it is time to play. We put our hands in the middle and yell out " VIXENS " 

Is sugar the new fat?

After Watching Nigel Latter’s Documentary, These are some questions that I have! The clip was called “ Is sugar the new fat? “

• Is all that sugar necessary in our everyday foods?
• Is there a no sugar option?
• If you know that there is that there is that much sugar in things, Why would you want to eat it?
• What are you actually feeding your children?
• Are the things that you see as treats really a treat or something that can cause a lot of pain later in life?
• How much sugar is really TOO much sugar
• How much sugar a day can give you diabetes?
• What should the limit for how much sugar we have in a day?
• How much sugar are you eating unknowingly?
• Sugar is really harmful to your teeth!!!!
• It can get as bad as having to replace your baby teeth in your mouth and having to have out adult pulled out!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Sugar is ok to have but TOO much is no where near good or OK

What I am going to do to prevent all of these bad things!

• Stop drinking so much fizzy drinks and soft drinks
• Stop eating so much chocolate and lollies
• Exercise more often
• Eat more healthy food rather than junk food!
• Only eat as much sugar as I am allowed!
• Try to avoid junk food and start thinking healthy
• If I start thinking about starting a healthy diet then other people will to it to and NZ will become a new and healthy environment!

The Fun Run

 The Fun Run

How I Felt About Doing The Fun Run: 

I felt really nervous at the start and I thought I was gonna faint but while I was running I could not feel my feet or anything else! I didn't faint and to be honest I had a lot of fun. I came 9th which is pretty good for me.

Here is a picture of me while doing the fun run!

BTW: I am in KEA ( Green ) if you didn't notice!

How Does A Seesaw Work

W.A.L.T = Explain

A seesaw is a playground object that kids usually play on.

First you need two people that are about the same weight.

Then the two people need to sit on a seat each.

After that the person who is on the ground needs to bend his/her knees and push up.

This is because so they can start the seesaw to go up and down.

Finally slow the seesaw down and get off so you can go and have fun on another playground object like a slide or a swing.

We hope you enjoyed playing on the seesaw.

Rock Climbing

Rock Climbing

This " harness " feels weird. Is that how it's supposed to feel??? Yes it is my big buddy said. If your wondering what I am talking about then stop wondering because I am about to tell you. A week ago room 19 went rock climbing at Karamu High School. I don't really know why we went rock climbing but I have heard that Mrs Hardaker won in the teachers game of paper scissors rock. Anyways at our rock climbing session I have learnt how to put a harness and fasten it so that it doesn't fall of while your climbing the wall. As I said at the beginning about my big buddies, My big buddies names were: Arica and Charlot. The big buddies helped up with our hardness and taught us how to climb the wall. Everybody in room 19 had either 1 or 2 buddies. Me a Caitlin were the lucky ones to get two buddies. At the rock climbing room ( which was a basket ball court ) There were two activities set up for us. The first activity me and Caitlin and our buddies went to was the "push and pull". In the push and pull activity one kid ( Which was me ) was working the rope and Caitlin was the one who was getting pulled by me. I was pushing the rope with one hand and pulling it with one hand. When I was pulling the rope I had to take it to my bum and then push it back up which made Caitlin move forward and backwards. After that we went to the second activity. The second activity was ROCK CLIMBING!!! When you are going to rock climb it i important that your harness is secured nice and tight so that is doesn't fall of while your climbing. Caitlin climbed first and she didn't go very high but she did her best and that's all that matters. After her turn was me and I can not explain to you of how nervous I was at that time because all I could think of was " WHAT IF MY HARNESS BROKE AND I FELL OF THE HARD ROCK SOLID FLOOR"!!!! But as I was climbing my big buddies and Caitlin were encouraging me so much that I forgot all about falling. I did not go very high at all but I tried and that's all that matters. After everyone had, had a go at all  the activity's it was time to back to school and write all about our adventure.

I hope that you enjoyed reading all about Room 19's Rock Climbing adventure. Please comment if you enjoyed reading it.                      

Ryleigh's Bunny

Ryleigh's Bunny

Today the 19th of March, Ryleigh brought her bunny into school and I was so amazed because she is only 4 weeks old!!!! Her name is Sparkle and she is the 2nd most ( I am the most ) adorable thing I have ever seen. Sparkle is going to go back home at lunch so everybody is making the most of it to hold her and play with her.

Here are some picture of Sparkle, Ryleigh and Nikita. 

I-Proud

 I-Proud

In room 19, We have been doing some awesome art with Mrs Hardaker! The art that we have been doing is called "I-Proud". If you are wandering what I am talking about, Stop thinking because I am going to show you a few pictures of room 19's I-Proud art!!!!!

The Pictures

 

      

Making The Art!!!

Firstly, we were told by Mrs Hardaker that we going to do art. The art was I-Proud. Every member of room 19 were confused at first. Moments later we were told what I-Proud was. What it is, is that on a coloured sheet of paper you need to have a pic of yourself. The pic needs to be just under the Parkvale School logo on your t-shirt, All the way to the top of your head. When we had taken the pic, we were told to send the picture to Mrs Hardaker, Mrs.H would print it out and give it to us. After we had been given the photo, We chose a colored sheet of paper out of: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green and lastly Light and Dark Blue. As you can see in the pictures above, I chose light blue. After that you needed a glue-stick. The glue-stick was necessary because on the sheet of paper you had to stick on the pic of yourself, After you had cut it out of course. Once that was done it was time for the menu button, [ You can see it in the pictures above.] Which would go underneath the pic of yourself. Afterwards Mrs.H curved the corners so that it would look a bit more fancy!!!!

And there you have it! 

I-Proud art!!!

What The Art Meant.

 The art was called I-Proud because, The menu button underneath the photo was there because on an iPod you can tune the music however you want it to be. So if we put our picture on top of the iPod menu button instead of the screen, It would look like that your pic is the screen and the menu button together would look like an iPod. The menu button is there so....

" WE CAN TUNE OURSELVES INTO A GREAT YEAR". 

With the menu button you could pretend to press the play button and tune yourself into a great year!!!
