PES Spartans U50KGS Rugby Season (Coach: Mr Somerville)

On the second week of term 3 around 50 year 5 & 6 boys trialled for a spot in the school rugby team. Mr sommerville (coach) and Mrs V (sports co ordinator) had a hard time selecting a team.  Trials were complete and 14 boys were selected to play. The Spartans U50kgs rugby team was born.

On the 3rd of September the Spartan went to the Tamaki Zones Rugby Tournament. The Spartans versed 3 teams Tamaki, Ruapotaka and Sylvia Park Primary School. Tamaki was the first team they versed and boy did they give them a wake up call to show how tough they were. So then the Spartans played their hardest against the next teams. After winning all their pool games they faced Tamaki in the finals. It was tough for them, Spartans, but they gave it their all and came home victorious. Winning this tournament gave them a ticket to the Auckland Champs.

The Spartans met their match! Facing the 12 most fierce, competitive teams in Auckland. They played six games won three, loss 2 and drew 1. Overall the Spartans came fifth beating Pomaria Primary. Their season didn't end there.

They still had their Marist Primary Schools Tournament. There were four teams in this tournament and the Spartans were unbeatable winning the tournament 31  and 1 conceded. The most valuable player of the tournament went to the author of this story, Stevenson Erick! CHEEHOOOOOOOO!

Spartans played well this season winning 2 out of 3 tournaments. Thank you to our coach Mr Somerville for teaching us heaps of skills & tips. We hope you coach us again next year.

Extension - Election Slogan

In extension we watched a video that explained what MMP is. It stands for mixed members proportional. Also Mrs Tele'a gave us a task to create a slogan/billboard, party name and an electorate area that you are going for. It should tell people to vote for them because they might have a catchy heading like building a brighter future, making low pay taxes and more. My heading was 5 STAR FUTURE!!!

Breadfruit - Explain Everything

Here is an app on an ipad called Explain Everything, which the year ones at our school use. The keas, my reading group, had to draw and explain something that related to the sentence. Here is what I came up with.

Junior Disability Games 2015

In literacy Mr. Goodwin, class 6 teacher, gave us a task to create a poster that explains the 2015 Junior Disability Games. This is my attempt. Enjoy :D

Commonwealth Games Animation - Rugballing

Its the first week of Term 3 and we have been learning about the Commonwealth games. Our teachers gave us a task which was to create another sport or activity that has never existed. I was thinking hard about what my invention would be. I enjoy running and rugby so I thought to mix it up with netball to make it interesting. I hope this event will be challenging and fun to watch. People who compete in this sport need to have speed, agility, endurance, stamina and skill. Also the game is called RUGBALLING!!! Watch the following video below.

Kids Learn With Ipads

Kids Learn With Ipads

Year one students from Pt.England School get the chance to learn on Ipads.

Para 1:

Why do kids have Ipads, What's the cost?

Other schools don't have what the little kids have at Pt. England, year one students have their individual Ipad to learn with. The ipads are 7.9 inches and they cost $450 each. Kids learn with Ipads because they get the chance to learn on technology at such a little age. Juliana, (Learner With Ipad) says, “I like my Ipad because I can work and learn, create and share.”

Para 2:
What kind of apps do the kids use?

The only app they use is explain everything, so all of their work is created and sent to explain everything and they use nothing else except that. Mrs George (Year 1 Teacher) said that explain everything gives them the chance to either create their own activity or an already created activity. Holly, (Another Learner With Ipad), said that she has to put the exact same sentence from the book onto the page on explain everything. They are learning very well..

PARA 3:

Styluses

People think that the year one’s write with their finger, but actually they have styluses instead. Styluses are literally just pens but with no ink inside them.. The kids at Mrs Georges class didn’t know what they were for, they thought they were pens.

Conclusion:
What's Next?

It won't be long till all the juniors will learn with an Ipad.
