Cross Country

On The 11th of September we had cross country, in class we were put in to groups and went to each rotation. The first rotation my group went to was eating the combo the combo had a slice of cake and an Ice Block, most people got a brownie because they didn't really like banana cake so that's why they got a slice of brownie instead.
The next rotation we did was trying to kick the ball in all of the Football net there were 2 big goals and 2 small goals, to make it more challenging the leaders got to be goal keeper. I didn't really like the next rotation skipping because I couldn't skip and cause I kept on hitting the rope on my foot and I got a really big bruise from that.

My favourite rotation was the obstacle course it was my favourite because the fist course you had these rings and had to go around the rope to complete There were 13 bits of the course my favourite part was when you go on the fireman pole. when it was time for to watch the year fives run the year 6's had to help them go the right way. When it was time for the year 6's to run the whole school were watching us run they were cheering a lot. I love Cross Country and I think it's good for exercise.

Litter Blitz

On the 24th of July we went out of school and picked up lots of rubbish.
There were about 9 groups in the seniors that went all around the whole school and picked up rubbish.
We wore a badge and a  bright neon green reflective sash we wore a sash so we don't get lost and so we be seen by traffic.
Every group had turns using the pick up stick to pick up all of the rubbish. We picked up the rubbish because we were trying to clean up the environment.
My group went up the back of Waikowhai Primary School and found rubbish like cans, bottles, glass, junk food, foam we also found 20 cents and $20.
It was pretty hot and it was a long way back to Waikowhai Primary School. It was 12:40 and we had to get back to school because it was almost lunch time.
The group next to us was really far away from us and we had to catch up.
When we got back to the school from picking up lots of rubbish, we dumped all of the rubbish in a really big bag we saw things like diapers, fans, socks, and also ripped pants.
The kids who found the Golden tickets got free T-Shirts they were really cool.

Squash!

This term every Wednesday we have squash lessons we had Squash sessions there were 4 courts and 4 groups, My friend Faris is the best in the our class and our Squash teacher says he is the best in the whole school. Nikhil in our class is the second best in the whole school and I think its because he times his shots and moves a lot.

In the 4 courts there are 2 rackets and 1 squash ball we compete against the people in your group for e.g if you win you are still in the game but if you lose you have to go to the back of the line and wait till its your turn.

Squash is quite easy but when it's your first time playing it could be a little hard but you'll get use to it if you play a lot if you don't have a Squash court just use a wall or just make a court by using wood.

In Squash there are 3 lines the tops line is called outer line the middle is surf line and the bottom is called the tin line. One day when there was about 10 minutes left we had a match and our Squash teacher pick player who played very well and improved there skills. 

And we also needed a ball boy I was the ball boy the ball boy had to be at the back of the court because the ball always goes to the back of the court when someone hits it to high.
