Thinking Skills

This morning Ms Tito gave us a thinking activity. We had to solve a problem using the 5 objects we were given. We were focusing on our logical and thinking skills. We got put into groups of 3. How problem we had to solve was how will you get a cat down from the tree using these 6 objects. I had really fun listening to all the other peoples ideas on how they would solve their problem.

A Very Close Game Against All Blacks And France.

“GO FRANCE!” My dad was screaming as the French team were walking up while the All Blacks were doing the haka, my whole family were cheering for them, I knew that this was going to be a really good game.

Brrrt, as Piri Weepu had kicked the ball, it was an amazing start to the game. my dad, my brother and I were cheering the loudest. We were all dissapointed when Tony Woodcock got a try we knew at that time, that All Blacks might win.

After half time the french were playing really well. Soon after that they tumbled through their opositons then passed the ball to the magnificent Thiery Dusautoir and he got the try. The house felt like it was shaking from all the jumping by my family. YES! my dad shouted when he got the conversion.

At the end the winning team was the All Blacks. We were very disappointed that France lost. My favourite rugby player was Thiery Desautoir, he got the man of the match and Player of the year. I was so happy when they announced that news.

Mrs Richards Stay With Us.

For the past 5 weeks we have enjoyed having a wonderful student teacher with us. Her name was Mrs Richards. She created a reward system for the people who kept their eye on the ball. The person who received the most ticks got a small prize pack. At the end of her stay the person with the most ticks for each week got to make Yum Cha Dumplings. I really enjoyed having her. It really helped me learn better. We will miss you Mrs Richards hopefully you come and visit us again.

Pt England Rugby Sevens Champions.

Last week the year 8 Rugby Sevens team went down to Tauranga to compete in the NZ AIMS games. They played against lots of school. They left on Sunday morning in two vans heading to Tauranga.They stayed in a marae for the week.

It was their 1st game against Cambridge Intermediate on Tuesday morning. Ms Tito had received a text message from Ms Va’afusuaga saying that the boys won their first game. They had won their second game, third game and so on. It was the semi finals and they had won. Thursday was the big day they played their grand finals. We were waiting for the final results.

The results had come. 'THE BOYS HAD WON!'. We celebrated for them it was a really proud moment for us, our boys were the New Zealand Champions. The coach for the New Zealand rugby sevens team 'Gordon Titeons’ watched some of their games. There was a rumour going around saying that our team was Gordon Titeons team. It was a real honour to have him watch their games.

At the end, our champions came to school and showed us their trophy and medals. We were very proud of them
