Speech Competitions

On Wednesday there was a speech competition. There were a lot of people doing a speech competition. They tried so hard working on it and they did so!! good. Someone of them asked questions and we had to put our hand up. Then the judges were giving them points. After it was another persons turn. They had to say there speech. that one was about bullys. she said if your a bully stop it!!. Now I will tell you who came first second and third. third place was Fifta and vika. Second place was Dinah. First place was Danae!!. The rest of the people were sitting down. Danae,Dinah,Fifita and Vika were going to the finals. Then the rest of the school had to go to class and that was the speech competitions.

Cross country

At the fun run or you can call it cross country me and Vini were running together. We almost came last but we tried but we had a stitch. The stitch kept slowing us down and it hurtled. Me and Vini finished the same time. i'm the one with the robot shirt. I tried really hard to avoid my stitch. I didn't come first or second or third. I even didn't get a bronze or sliver or gold. The bronze silver gold were plastic. I was jogging the whole way then when i was nearly at then end I sprinted. I was jogging as hard as I can but I was getting tired because of my stitch. I've been training but Cross country was so challenging Every time when I jog I jog fast and when I jog fast I lose a little bit of my energy. After that we went to the eating shelter and wait for the year sixes to run. I was waiting and waiting then Cross country was finished and the bell ran. So that was cross country and I had fun running.

Basketball

When our class went to basketball we had to do a warm up then we were learning how to chess pass and over chess pass we had to be in groups I was with Zavier we were throwing the ball to Jezrael , Siosifa and Ali. When we finished practising how to pass we started learning how to pass. Next we learnt how to shoot we had to get in line and the boys had to go in the boys line and the girls had to go in the girls line. Then we had to shoot at the basketball hoop. We also learnt how to balance. if your wondering how to balance in basketball and our eyes must aim for the hoop so we can get a shot. also communication is the most important part. This is like your communicating with someone well playing basketball. Our key word was beef. The b stands for balance and e stands for eyes and e stands for elbow. Also the f stands for follow through. That is our key word and that's what we must do. When it was our last session we played games instead of practising basketball. We had to go in groups first my group were shooting. The other group had to run. My team had to shoot the basketball through the hoop. If someone go's and run and the other team gets a goal the other team that's running is out. Our team won that whole game it was so fun and I enjoy playing basketball too.

Hearing Session

 The people from Lyn field college came to May road school I learnt that if someone shouts in your ear it will damage your ears. Also you can listen to a car traffic for 8 hours and you can listen to a lawnmower for 2 hours. I learnt a lot about keeping your ears safe. You can listen to a food mixer forever and you can listen to a rugby match for 15 seconds. They told us a lot about protecting our ears. We played a game it was a listening game we had to guest what sound it was. and then we got to have these kind of strings we had to whack the string so it can bend. I learnt a lot about protecting your ears. I also had so much fun.

Place value wars

1. You need to get a lot of cards.

2. Then you need someone to give out the cards and the cards must be the same amount of cards.

3. After that someone have to place two cards on the table.

4. Then If you get 3 or 4 then it's 34.

5. But if someone has more then 34 or something they get to have your cards.

6. Who ever has the most cards win.

 7. The winner collects all the cards then the game is over.
