Panmure Bridge Athletic Day - By Tiare

Here are some photo's of the Athletics Day at Panmure Bridge School. Before we started doing the activities we were first put into year groups. The first activity the year 8's went to was Rob The Nest, Next we went to Hurdles/Sponge relay, then we went to long jump, shot put or softball throw and the last thing we went to was try to get the hola hoop in either the bucket, the cricket fence or the stick. When we did our activities everyone was participating, using the team spirit/teamwork and encouragement. Although it was raining we still had lots of fun.

Hockey - By Tiare

Today we had Hockey lessons. The game we did for a warm up was octopus. After we played that we all gathered together and we got told to stand behind one stick facing the stage. The game we were doing with the hockey sticks was traffic light. Green stands for go, Orange means slow down and Red meant stop. After we trialed the traffic lights we added some more colors for example Purple, Silver and Blue. Purple standed for you to toss the ball side to side but at the same time your going backwards, Silver you have to hit the ball from side to side but your doing it fast and the last color blue you had to keep the ball by your stick and you have to go around in a circle until the color changed. The thing I liked about Hockey was that we could challenge ourselves to do different things and when we did we got better at the skill we were doing. The thing I didn't like about Hockey was they were talking to much and they were teaching us things that we already knew. At the end I enjoyed it and can't wait for the next Hockey lesson.

Cross Country - By Tiare

Here is a photo of me training for Cross Country. We had to train for cross country and did warm up's and some stretching. Mr Ogilvy set us a pace to run for the whole entire laps once we came to the last lap we had to sprint the finish. The first time we ran we did 1 lap and after that we added some more laps on. We ran around the whole field at school. We did Cross Country for endurance, which is to keep ourselves fit.

Netball Inter-school Cluster Day - By Tiare

On Thursday 17 August 2016, the year 5,6,7, and 8's did the inter-school netball. The first team we versed was Ruapotaka, then Tamaki Primary, Glen Innes, Stone fields, and the last team we played was our own school unfortunately we lost by 2 points.

I played with the year 5 and 6 team because there was only 6 players and I looked like one we won 3 games in total. Sometimes we had a hard time getting to our goal but in the end we made it.

Orienteering - Year 8 And Year 7

Here is some photo's of the Orienteering (Year 8 and Year 7). The starting point was sort of like the finishing point. I think Orienteering is a very easy but at the same time hard thing or sport to do. You have to run past the one that is on your list and go for the one that you need and then by the time you finished getting the one you need you need to run back in the same direction that you came to get the one you went past. Some people did it by themselves and some did it with a partner. I did mine with a partner. My partner was Evelyn. Some people think working together is better and some people think working by yourself is better. Well the people that think working with someone is better is because when they are tired their partner who isn't tired does the running to the stamp. The rest of them who say that working by them self is easier is because they think they get the job done quicker without someone to help them. Then we had a conclusion the people that were still doing it was Sylis and Calvin, they looked really puffed out I don't think they liked it very much by the look of there face. Evelyn and I finished in 22 minutes on the dot.
