Rugby Skills with Jason

We had to work as a team to complete 'The Bamboo Challenge.' We need to try it again to work out how we can solve it.

We had to run around and dodge each other, making sure we held the ball with two hands.

Jason made us have team races and push the ball with our heads to show we had good control of the ball. It was funny to watch.

We ran quickly back to our teams, carefully holding the ball. Our team mate was watching, getting ready to run quickly.

It was a lot of fun learning new skills and then having games of 'Rippa Rugby.'

Our whole team challenge was to pick up a ball with all of us holding on to it. We had to race without any of us letting it go.

We had to start from sitting down and work out how to move as a team.

Jason told us that some of the skills we were learning were what the All Blacks used in their training.

Tiffany is Lost

We wrote a narrative about a little girl who got lost in town at lunch time because she ran ahead of her parents. Luckily a person from a cafe helped her.  Our purpose for writing was to entertain Room 10 students.

After I read my narrative Mya gave some information about my narrative. She told me that she liked to hear some verbs and adverbs. - Gabriel.

 Owen said that my narrative was good because he liked the adjectives and speech marks. He told me that he hasn't done speech marks in his writing that much. - Jah-Royal.

I liked reading my story to Harrison because he had good manners and listened nicely. He said my story was good because I had a lot of adjectives and I had neat writing. - Liam.

I felt nervous when I was sharing my narrative because I have never shared my writing to someone new.  We talked about the story and I liked her comments. -Marnel.





Oakely was happy to read his story to someone from another class.

Brandon said to me that he liked the story. He listened carefully. I liked writing the story because we read as a whole class. - Timothy.
