Te Reo Maori

Last week my class was practicing our te reo maori because some of us were not the best at pronouncing our maori words. I was one of them. Our teacher had this big book that you would normally see when you where little and went through all the words with us. We also had groups with 2 or 3 people in them to practice the words together. We have been doing this every day for about a week now and I’m now much more confident with te reo maori. Does your class do maori practice?    

Hardcore Fitness

This week my class has been doing fitness to get fit for cross country. Half the class would go outside onto the field or the court and then the other half would stay inside doing work and we would rotate after about 20 minutes. We had to do crab walks, mountain climbers, high knees (after 10 high knees we had to do 2 push ups) I think push ups, squat jumps, and if we had time we play a game. I think I could work on my crab walks I’m not the best at those because I keep falling over and bumping into Gail, (Gail is a friend of mine.) g I’m good at the other things, although I get kinda tired after about one or to minutes of fitness. Do you do fitness at your school? 

Dashing Fast 5 Netball

On Tuesday our class played fast five netball. This was a game that we had played before so most of us knew how to play. It is very unlike me to like a sport such as this but apparently the teachers caught me smiling so that was a bonus. I’m not really that sure why I liked playing fast five netball but  I did for some reason. I didn’t actually get to throw the ball or hold it, I kinda just walked around following the group. Maybe next time could try to catch the ball. Have you played fast five netball before?
