Throwing-P.E

Today I learnt how to throw correctly I had to point to a target put my feet sideways, a slight knee bend, looking at a target, 45 angle of release and don’t hold the ball too long. I worked really hard on keeping my feet straight to my target.

When my partner throw the ball I had to think about putting my eyes on the ball having cup hands to catch. I did very well catching because I moved to the ball so i’m not just standing there inspecting the ball to land in my hands. Here is a picture of my throwing.

Maths strategy for 9x table.

Did you know there's a cool strategy for working out 9x table. I want to work out 9x8. I have to have my 8th finger down have a look how many fingers I have down on the left side and the right side. I have 7 fingers on the left and 2 fingers on the right side. 72 is my answer. 

House comp

The other day, I wandered down to Mr Moriarty's class room with a couple of other kids. We were going to be sorted into groups for the top house that was happening. There were 4 groups that had 4 leaders, their names were Jacob, Braydan, Kory and Liam. I got put into group 2 with some other friends of mine.
Ring, ring, ring rang the bell, I rushed to the courts and started singing my chant - go kea go kea! Miss Hill spoke to us about how we have to do the activities and away we skipped to the first activity. For this activity, we had to throw the ball to our team mate, and our team mate would throw it in the very last hoop. We kept playing until the whistle blew. Honnnnnnk, blew the whistle, it was time to move to the next activity.
The next activity was fun, you had to throw down the lily pads [tee-ball bases] and get all of our teammates past a cone, it was quite challenging because the grass was poisonous, so if you touched the grass you had to go to the back of the line. Honnnnnnnnk went the whistle again, so we rushed off to the next activity.
The next activity was called pass the batton, we had to stand like bowling pins, but shoulder to shoulder with everyone. The person at the back would pass the batton to the front and you would run to the front and so on and so on. Once you get past the cone, you can run back to the start and do it again. Honnnnnnnnk went the whistle, time to move to the final activity.
The final activity was the 3 legged race with a little twist. You had to put a black rubber thing around your foot and your buddy had to put it around their foot.  Off we went with 2 balls, 1,2,1,2,1,2.  We got to the cone and in front of us was a cricket wicket, we got told to throw the balls at the cricket wicket. Yes! I yelled. We hobbled back 1,2,1,2,1,2.  I cheered my team on - go kea go kea! Honnnnnnnnk went the whistle for the very last time. I zoomed to the class to get a nice cool drink from my bag.  I thought to myself,  man that was a hot and incredible day. I would love to do it again, I hope we got a good place for house points.
