Sketchnote

This week LS2 has been learning how to use Sketchnotes. Sketchnotes help us to understand the learning by putting it into our own pictures or words. When you are using Sketchnote you don't need any skills. When we used Sketchnote we started with Questions because we knew that topic. We talked about ways we could record our thinking. Our next topic was about Athletics. We knew quite a lot of things about Athletics because we have been doing Run Jump Throw. We then wrote about Rio and everything we know about it. The last topic we did was about

Cross Country

For the past couple of weeks on Monday and Tuesday the seniors have been doing Cross Country practice for the real Cross Country which is next week on Wednesday. Before we run we do some stretches.  Then Mr Ogilvie called us by year groups to start running. I ran 5 laps around the school. I think that I am getting faster and more fitter. 

Hauora Inquiry DLO

This is my groups inquiry presentation DLO that we made. We worked as a team and helped each other to finish the tasks we had to complete. For this inquiry rotation I was in Mrs Anderson group and were working on Hauora. I learnt that in Hauora there are four walls and they are Taha Tinana, Taha Whanau, Taha Wairua and Taha Hinengaro.

Warriors Visit

Today in the afternoon Panmure Bridge School had a visit from Alice from DTR, Georgia and two Warriors John Palavi and Ryan Hoffman. They then introduced themselves to us. We then got split up into two teams and had a trivia about the Warriors. If you give the correct answer you will get a prize. They then talked about sleep. I learnt that primary school kids should have eleven hours sleep and adults should have eight. Ryan Hoffman said if you don't have enough sleep you wont have enough energy. Next they were speaking about hydration. The number one choice of drink is water. After that we listened to our visitors who then talked to us  about belonging. They asked to a few people where are the different places we belong to. Some kids said that we belong in our family, school and sports clubs. 

Run Jump Throw

On Thursday LS2 had a another session of Run Jump Throw with Andi. For this weeks session we focused on long jump. Andi showed us a two foot launch, two foot landing. We land with both feet on the ground. Andi said it is called the motorcycle landing. Then we did a one foot launch and a two foot landing. We got into groups and tried to see who could jump the furthest. Then the person who came first from each group had to challenge each other.

Current Events

Two women Nikki Hamblin from New Zealand and Abbey D'Agostino from USA that were competing in the Olympics fell well running. They both helped each other up. They showed what being a good sport athlete is. They should Olympic spirit by helping each other then winning. For helping each other they got a chance to run in the finals.

Olympic Art

Today and yesterday we some students from LS2 worked on their Olympic art. First we had to we had to fold a piece of paper in half and draw a design using lines and shapes. We also had to find a silhouette that is apart of the Olympic Games. Then we got white piece of paper, put that paper on our original and traced it. When it was on the white paper had to colour it in in pastel. We had to blend the colours. Then we had to cover the lines with PVA. Finally we glued our silhouette to our artwork. Then we were finished.
