Awesome Athletics and Beautiful Beach clean up

Last week on Thursday we did Hapu Sports Athletics and The whole school beach clean up.As part of the sports council I got to help set up all of the Athletics stuff at the Westland High School. The school was split up into age groups there was years 1,2,3,4,5,and 6. I am a year six. We had to do Shot put, Discus, Long jump, High jump, 80 meters, 50 meters, and the 1000 meters I did everything.  I got into the Districts for Shot put , Discus, Long jump, 80 meters and 50 meters. After we had finished the athletics we walked to the beach to do a beach clean up. I was in the enviro group so we did a survey down the other end of the beach and walked from where we were at the rocks to catch up with the rest of the school. By the time we had caught up with everyone they had already finished the beach clean up.  I think we did a good job cleaning up the beach and everybody did really well at athletics.What is the best sport you are good at?

Super Cool Cactus Sports

 This week we did Cactus on Wednesday and Friday, Cactus is like a group and you get to do fun activities and try to push yourself and get out of your comfort zone and try new things.  On Wednesday for Cactus we were only there for half an hour but we still did something fun. The people that run Cactus wanted us to get to know each other so we had to stand in a circle and we had to partner up with the person next to us and ask them what their name was, their favourite colour and their favourite weird food. Then we had to  introduce our partner and it went around like that. On Friday we stood in a circle and passed a ball around and as we passed the ball we had to say the persons name we were throwing the ball to. After that we had to do jump rope it took me a while to eventually jump it. Have you ever done Cactus before? 

Super cool Animation!!!!!!!!

 

This week we made school values animation's Olivia and I chose the value Kaitiakitanga. Kaitiakitanga means respect my own and other peoples property and Care for ourselves other and the environment.

All Emergency Rescue Centres in town!!!

Last week at school we went to a thing in town called Clued Up Kids. It was held at the boys brigade hall in town. There was 8 stations they were the Fire Brigade, Police search and rescue, St Johns, Animal safety, Kitchen Safety, Alpine Fault, Motorbike Safety and Kiwi Rail. For example in the St Johns activity we did bandaging and say you got a knife stuck in your arm we learnt what to do if something got stuck like that. We had to have a buddy, and bandage them, and the two rules we learnt were apply pressure and elevate. In the fire brigade one we had to crawl through a tunnel in the dark to find the exit. My favourite one was the Motorbike safety and the animal safety, I liked the Animal safety on because we got to learn about horses and also pat a horse, I liked the Motorbike safety because I like Motorbikes and it was fun because we got to sit on the motorbike and the person that was doing the  motorbike thing tipped the motorbike when we where sitting on it. Have you ever been to a Clued up Kids thing before?
