G.S.S Goes To The Netball Tournament

             G.S.S Goes To The      Netball Tournament.

On Thursday the 31^st of July, all those who go to Windmill park on Wednesday to play netball, went to the AMI netball stadium and participated in the netball tournament. My team, Year 6 Ruby, had a bye first and then we got into action. We lost the first game but then we won every other game we had. We lost a team member, which was Talia Jeffery because of a hand injury. We got another team member, Laura Mooney and she was just as good as Talia. Eleanor Clark’s team, Year 6 Green, won the first 3 games, lost the 4^th game and won the last 2 games. Chloe Simpson’s team, Year 5 Lime, won all their games and they won their section. Amy Petau-Ah Poe’s team, Year 5 Blue, won their 1^st game and lost the rest of their games. The coach for my team is Lynne Tofilau and our manager is Liz Trainor. Eleanor’s team coach is Aaron Clark and their manager is Elizabeth Molony. Chloe’s team coach is Fran Simpson and she is also their manager. Amy’s coach is Irene Petau and Emma Smoldon is their manager.

Ki O Rahi Tournament

To end Matariki we had our Ki O Rahi tournament.  Four Teams faced off in a round robin tournament with the two finalists being the teams with the most accrued points.

Team Red; Talia, Ashleigh, Nikita, Patrick, Te Aute and Vaea played Team Blue; Hugo, Mrdina, Ethan, Jess, Fergus, Jeremiah and Alison in a hard fought and exctiting final.

At the end of full time the scores were tied at 2 all.

We played an extra minute each way to come up with a winner, in the last 30 seconds Team Blue scored the deciding point. Team Red were gracious in defeat and played a great game.

Gymsports Competition

Gymnastics

Ten children, Talia J, Hugo M, Jessica Mc, Ella L, Amie H, Leilani F, Alice B, Luca L P, Natalie S and Josie G went to Tristar gymnasium to compete on three apparatus; vault , beam and floor. Hugo did two floors, since he is a boy he does not do beam.  We all had to compete against many schools and try to earn ribbons. Gold is the best you can get and is excellent, red is the second best and is very good, blue is good and green is merit. Amie and Ella also competed in trampolining and both got gold’s. Everybody had great fun just being there and we would like to thank all the parents that helped. We could not have done it without you. We would also like to thanks Mrs Stennard for organising it and Tristar for doing it.

Matariki

Matariki 2014

Congratulations to Fergus, Hugo, Evie, Talia, Belle and Jeremiah who won the Tapuwae finals - can the repeat their amazing performance next term?

The round robin tournament playing ki O rahi was postponed until the beginning of next term due to bad weather.  Stay tuned to find out the winning team.

Pink Group Papyrus

In Pink group, we have been reading a book called Sandstorm. We did a presentation about hieroglyphics and papyrus paper. We drew hieroglyphics and Egyptian symbols.  We made the papyrus by boiling tea and dipping it in it when the tea cooled down. We left it overnight and drew our pictures, and then some of us painted it and some shaded it.

Basic facts

In Room 7 every afternoon we do basic facts that takes 3 to 5 minutes. There are 3 different types of Basic facts. The one you start with is 3 minutes and goes from 0 to 12 times tables.To pass you need to get 50/50. There are 12 sheets you have to do before you go to basic facts 5 minutes. For basic facts 5 minutes you have to answer 100 questions in 5 minutes. To pass you need to get 95/100 or above. There are 9 stages before you go to Basic facts Gold. Gold is the hardest stage with 100 questions that are +, -, x and division and you have to answer them in 5 minutes.There are 5 sheets you have to finish.  After you finished Gold you do the whole 5 minute basic facts but in 3 minutes with still 100 questions. After you completed 3 minutes you get a fancy certificate and don't have to do anything during it.In this photo Eleanor.C and Bianca.A are on basic facts stage 3 and Talia.J is on basic facts gold stage 1.
