Athletics day

Kiorana Bloggers of the world!!

2 weeks ago on Friday Waikowhai Primary School had  their Athletics day. We were put into our house groups, ( pukeko, Ruru, Tui and Kea ) as well as age groups I was in the 10/11 year old's group. Athletic day was full of fun and challenging things. For the actives there was the usual High jump, long jump, sprints, 400 meters run and shot put but for the warm up like game there was hurdles, Fun throw, fun house relays, tennis and an obstetrical course.

Here are some photos of the fun and exciting day. 

REFLECTION

Athletics day was a very hot and fun day. If I was allowed to do it again I might do it again. Personally I think I did really well because I haven't done athletics in 2 years. 

Inquiry creation !

Bonjour bloggers of the world

In Class for inquiry we have been working on something for the bush at our school. We had think of a problem in our bush. I thought of rubbish because there is normally rubbish in the bush. Then we had to do a game-like thing called "crazy eights." Crazy eights is an activity you do in your book. Firstly you have to divide the page into eighths. You have one minute on each box to draw a type of thing that you think would help the problem. The cool thing about was that you could go

 as crazy as you wanted  it to be. I thought of doing a rubbish race but then the next day we had to try make a prototype. A  prototype is a small practice design of your real design. That's when I changed it because I wasn't sure how to do it. So I changed it to a unicorn rubbish bin.

Reflection 

I found this kinda confusing because I had to change my idea and so I sometimes kept on thinking of the rubbish track and I would muddle up my ideas. I also found it really fun because we go to do a fun experiment of how to make it.
