Twist of Gold PowToon

Last term we read a book called Twist of Gold. It is about 2 young children Annie and Sean O'brien. Who's mother is dying of starvation from the potato shortage. We used PowToon to make a Twist of Gold book report. It was really fun. we started off by making the starting page. We changed the character, background, music and props. Then we had to write a summary from the book in our own words on two slides. Then we created an ending page this was one of my favourite bits. Here is my PowToon.

Samoan art

In term 3 for art on Tuesday in the afternoon we have been making Siapo cloths. We sketched a drawing of something Samoan. I did a jellyfish because when I think of Samoa I think of the sea. After we did that we glued string onto the drawing with lots of glue and I mean lots. This we did over a couple of days. After we did that we got a square piece of paper put it over our art and got a colour of crayon that we wanted. We then pushed the crayon along the art and it made our art show up on the piece of paper. The last thing we did was get a roller and dipped it in ink, I chose blue. We rolled the ink all over the art then carefully placed another piece of paper over the top. Then got a clean roller and rolled it over the  paper again and again. Then we carefully peeled back the paper to let it dry. Our teacher then hung them up on display here is a photo of mine.

Athletics 2018

This year for athletics we did it across 3 days. On the first day back from the holidays the year sixes did high jump and discus. 

The high jump winners jumped 1.16m.

Here is a photo of me on the podium for coming 3rd in discus.


On Friday we did long jump and shot put. I came 2nd with 3.55m. Ava won with 3.71m. That's really long. Here is a photo of us on the podium. 



Next we did shot put I only got 4 metres on that so I didn't get a place.



The following week on Monday we did the track events. First the year 6's did sprints and the year 5's did long distance. We first did the sprint heats only the first person in each heat went through to the finals. I came first in both my heats. The finals were more intense because there were faster runners. I like 80 metres better because I need a little extra at the end. Here are some photos of us on the podium for sprints. I won both the 50m and 80m finals.






Lastly we did long distance which is 1000 m. This event is my least favourite. I think I came in the top 10 but I'm not completely sure. 

I made the zone team and they are in one week. I love athletics! It is awesome.

Thanks Rhiannon
