ATHLETICS

This term we are preparing for our school Athletics! Here are some videos for inspiration:


Jacko Gill, 15yrs old - Shot put, 20.76m



Ashton Allen, 10 yrs old - 200m, 26.33sec



Standing Long Jump - an exercise used by everyone from track and field athletes to football players trying out for the NFL. Coaches use Standing Long Jumps to build leg strength in their athletes.

TERM 3 - RECAP

SO MUCH happened over Term 3, we had Yujin (an international student from Korea) join our class, GANGNAM STYLE! We had a class trip to the Hamilton Zoo, almost half our class competed at the NZ AIMS tournament and a few even performed in the Opening Ceremony.  All of this was on top of our normal everyday learning programme so we were VERY busy!

Below are pictures and videos of Term 3 for Room 26:


Our Hamilton Zoo Trip:

We were learning about Animal Welfare, and were lucky enough to visit the Hamilton Zoo and attend a seminar run by one of the staff.  This trip was also used as a motivator for our persuasive writing topic "Zoos - are they good or bad?"


Yujin - Our new korean student:

Yujin joined us for the last 4 weeks of Term 3.  She performed Gangnam Style on stage in front of the whole school in Assembly! She was also a superstar for the night at our School Disco.

Yujin's last day
Gangnam Style!
