Ripper Rugby

Yesterday we went to ripper ruby. The coach nick taught us passing skills. The first he taught us was a bulletpass. You pass it with one hand as hard and fast as you can. The other pass he taught us was tornado pass. You just flick it with one hand. We played a game of ripper rugby then played a game of bull rush. It was a fun and can't wait till next week.

All blacks

Dear All blacks

I hope you win and go into the finals. Listen to your coach so we can win the Webb Ellis Cup. Congratulation for winning against the french but don't go celebrating the rugby world cup isn't over. Good luck and I wish you all the best against south africa. Don't forget to bring the cup home.

Meeting the silver ferns

On Tuesday the 13th of October we meet the silver ferns. They came to St Kentigern College to meet us. We played ball tag, shots up and played a little half court. We were in groups with this other school called randwick intermediate. We went around all the silver ferns and had lunch. After lunch the silver ferns had to leave for netball training. When they left we played some netball games the had to leave. When we hopped into the vans we were singing song from the radio. It was so fun and hope we get to go next year.

Drop, Cover, Hold!

New Zealand shakeout will be taking place on the 15th of October 2015 at 9:15 am. New Zealand will be the first country to participate this year. New Zealand shakeout is a national earthquake drill taking place all over the country. It’s a chance for people to practise for the real thing. You always have to be prepared for an earthquake because New Zealand is one of the worst places for earthquakes to hit and could leave serious damage. The whole of New Zealand will be doing it. So don’t forget to DROP,COVER,HOLD.

Leaving a mark

Walt: write a paragraph

In my class we have been talking about leaving a mark and my mark is to be the first person to find the cure for every disease. It has been my dream since I was 8 when I saw a homeless man on the street with a horrible cough and it made me think if I was like that and somebody saw me in need. I want to be able to be their for people when they need me. I hear on the news that people are dieing in West Africa from a common disease called Ebola. Also if somebody in my family is sick I will know what to do. As my brother always says to me

“A day above ground is a good day.” So that’s why I want to be the first person to find the cure to every disease. That’s what I want to leave my mark as.

Dear Ms Parks,

Walt: write a letter to Ms Parks

Thank you for helping so much. You taught me how to write properly. Since you have been coming to our school and teaching my teacher what to do I have been writing even better. I’m sure that I can write a whole page story accurately.

The video clip that you sent to my teacher to watch was interesting. After watching it a few times we had to describe it, then we had to write a paragraph about it. When you came to me I was stuck. You said “ use the words that you have and let it make sense.”

I said “Okay.” When I finished my teacher gave me a great comment.

In the Diamante poem it was about verbs, adjectives, nouns and adverbs. I thought it was hard. You said to just do it the same way as the 4x4 poem. I it seemed to become more easy for me to do.

The 4x4 poem was cool because we could describe anything that you wanted. It was the same as the diamante poem so it was easy to do. I like the 4x4 poem because it’s easy to do, simple and fun.

You also did attributes with us. My attribute was loyal. I asked you how to write about it. You said go look in the dictionary these words that I didn’t even know that was words. I now look in the dictionary if I ever want a word or two. You said that attributes were something that represents you and I didn’t know that, so you taught me something.    

The last thing I want to say is thanks for being the best teacher ever. You would always come to our school and teach us when you could be doing something nice. Hope you can come back next term.

Yours sincerely

Lauren
