Fun Run

On Wednesday 23rd of October the Year 4-6 students from Rosebank Primary, St Mary's Primary, and Avondale Primary went out to Eastdale Reserve to have a Fun Run. Sports Waitakere and the Police held this event. It was a fun event even though it was raining on and off. We had to run around the whole field which is about 2 kilometers. The Year 4's ran one lap, but the Years 5 and 6's ran 2 laps. When you have finished the race you were allowed to have a FREE sausage sizzle, and also you were able to play on the inflatable play area. You could also play tug of war.

That's Our Mascot

We all had to warm up before the run.

Ready Set Go

Come on pull.......

Seedling Sales

 

 

Room 28 would like to thank all the parents and teachers who brought the seedlings from Rosebank Garden.  We were able to raise $101.00 and from this we will be buying more compost and seeds.   If any body still wants tomato seedlings we have just a few left.  You can get in touch with the office or Room 28.

 

Our ideas what is Digital Citizenship?

 

 

 

 

A procedural text is used to explain

• How to do something
• How to get Somewhere
• When a set of rules need to be understood.

A procedure is generally quite easy to write as long you know a little bit about your topic.  This poster will walk you through the process of writing an effective procedural text by breaking it down into simple steps.




This week we are writing recipes.

Turbo Touch

Today our class learnt a new sport called Turbo Touch.

Rules for Turbo Touch are:

1.      You need two passes to score a try.

2.      When a person gets touched we have to go back 2 meters.

3.      We have to give the person 2 second to run then we can touch them.

4.      We have 4 touches until we handed over.

5.      P.T.T . stands for Pass, Touch and Tap  

Today we went to the hall at 9am to learn about Turbo Touch.  We were not so excited about today’s lesson but when we got to the hall and heard what we were keen to learn.  |Our instructor was Jack and we learnt that Turbo Touch was invented in New Zealand by Tapine Wilson and George Jahnke.  The two touch players wanted to create a sport that could be played all year around.  We learnt what the rules are and we played some activities to warm up.  

Turbo Touch combines elements of:

Touch

Netball

Basketball

Ultimate Frisbee

Please don’t squeeze me tight

Look into my eyes you are getting dizzy.  

I am tapping the ball and passing it on

We are suppose to jump over the try line as fast as we can.

We had a race with Room 18 - tapping and passing the ball around the circle.  Room 28 won.
