WALT: reflect on exciting experiences.
On Tuesday the 17th Of August Emma Twigg came to New Brighton Catholic school. Some of the senior boys did the Haka then we sang the national anthem to welcome her.
Emma Twigg talked to us about her fails and success she also talked about how she trains and how long she trains for. Then she passed around the gold medal it felt heavy and looked as shiny as a coin.
Have you ever met an Olympic gold medallist ?
W.A.L.T Increase our Maori vocabulary. In room 2 we have been learning about the New Zealand languages and one the languages are Maori.
This is the Maori dictionary I made.
In room 2 we are learning about the Tokyo Olympics. I read a book about the chicken Olympics. In the book one of the chickens is called Aunt fluff this is her Olympic profile I made for her.
Today the year 0-6 children were lucky enough to watch a puppet show about the Boy With Wings. I really enjoyed this show because they had very detailed props like a box that they made into a pop out tree on cardboard and the castle with doors to get in. My favourite part of the show was at the end when the apple trees lit up.
Whats your favourite puppet show?
WALT: write a news paper article. This is my news paper article I wrote about Emma Twigg.
Emma Twigg Destroys Competition
- By Claudia
Twigg competed in the Olympics as a New Zealand rower last Friday and won gold. She won with a time of 7.13.97. "I can't believe it. Honestly, crossing the line it was disbelief¨
In the finals Twigg was leading with Canada coming through. They were just a boat away.
Twigg still won gold and Canada won silver.
At the end of the race Twiggs face looked like she was exhausted but she also looked proud.
Twigg started rowing in 2001 for the Napier girls high school and the hawkes bay rowing club. After 2 years of practice she was representing New Zealand at 2003 world rowing junior champions in Athens, Greece.
Can't wait to see Emma Twigg rowing in the next Olympics, maybe she could win gold again.
WALT: Make connections to texts. For Reading I made a google drawing about why all children should or shouldn't play sports.
I think not all children have to play sports. This is my google drawing explaining why.
