Awsome Athletics

Kia ora bloggers. On  Friday the 22nd of November Paihia School went to inter school athletics  day at Bledisloe domain. When we got to school we had to put on a school shirt then we did Karakia. Once we did Karakia we all lined up and waited outside to get put into our transport but first we had to do Karakia as school after that I got to choose a friend to go in the school van with me and three boys. When we arrived at Bledisloe all the schools had to get together to do Karakia again. Then we got into our year groups our first activity was 200 and 400 meter sprints. Then we did shot put then we did long jump and discuss. After we had a break during the break I had a juice and a sausage. After break we did relays then 100 meter sprints then high jump. After that we all went back to our school. Over all I really enjoyed the and my favorite activity was high jump but in high jump I got over in the practice round and then in the real round I knocked off the bar. In long Jump I think what I could have done better was land more steady on my feet. When I was doing shot put I found it hard to not throw the put. What is your favorite athletic day activity? 

Energize

Kia ora bloggers. In Te Ngahere on Monday Whaea Gina came in to talk to us about healthy eating. Did you know there are four food groups? The food groups are Dairy and dairy products, Meat  and meat alternatives, Grain food and Vegetables and fruit. Grain food is good for you because it is a great way to start your day and it is really good for your brain and it gets you up and going. Vegetables and fruit are good for you because they give you vitamins and minerals, but the natural sugar in the fruit is still not good for you it is better than normal sugar but too much is still bad. Meat and meat Alternatives, Do you know what a meat alternative is? A meat alternative is  a food that vegetarians can eat but it still gives you the same goodness as meat, meat is good for you because it give us protein and helps us grow. Dairy is good for you because it gives you calcium and calcium is good for your bones. What I will do with this new learning is try to make sure I have a least one thing from a food group in my lunch box.

Cross country

On Friday the 30th of August Paihia school had cross country. When we got to school everybody was excited. At 11:15 everybody started getting ready to go to cross country we all lined up in our class on the court. Some people went by bus and some people went by car. When we got to Bledisloe domain we got set up and then we started the races it started from the 5 year old boys then 5 year old girls and kept going up. When the races started I went to the finish line to cheer the kids on. The five year olds just had to go around the field, the  six and seven year olds did the field and a bit of the drive but 8, 9 and 10 year olds did a lap of the field up the drive and round two paddocks. The 11 and 12 year olds did round the field up the drive through three paddocks and another lap of the field. When it came to my turn as a ten year old girl I was a bit nervous. I ran most of it and only walked a tiny bit but I tried my best and came second to last. Lots of people were cheering me on as I crossed the finish line. I think everybody had a good time because I did but everybody was tired. The people that came first, second or third gets to go to inter school cross country. These are pictures from cross country.

Cross Country Goals

I.A.L.T. to pace myself steadily for the race. How I'm going to achieve this goal: By practicing before and after school on many different surfaces and water. Last year I came tenth and would like to improve to trying to come into the finals.  

Mrs G taught us how to make a green screen. First you take a video and then you put green paper up and stand in the middle you can say your goals, how you are training and reflection.
