Funky Freestyle fightters

Olivia on the lelf and me Georgia on th right!

On your marks! Get set go! I do a great dive into the pool. As I hit the water I start kicking like a dophin as hard as I can. Olivia is in front of me, I try and try to get in front of her, but as hard as I kick I am getting closer to the end of the pool. In the end Olivia won than race but I had a great time!

Georgia.

Fantastic Fast Freestyle

Take your mark! Set! Bang! Splash! Dolphin dive into the pool. Stoke School's swimming sports freestyle final heat. There were three of us bullets shooting to the end of the pool.

There's Georgia on the right!

I was pumping my arms to try and beat Georgia. Georgia is my friend and she's about two seconds faster than me. I kept bumping into Georgia and she kept bumping into me. She's ahead of me and then I'm ahead of her. We finally get close to the end.  My arms were getting so tired but I reached out with my hand and touched the wall. I came second but Georgia came first.

What a horrendous finish

Family Fun Night

Yesterday Stoke School had a family fun night a family fun night is when you bring your own dinner and do heaps of fun games. The games were the school parachute, the Tasman sports trailer, the swimming pool was open, the sand pit was open and you were aloud on the playground as well there was also a free sausage and ice block for the children. It started at 5:30pm and finished at 7:00pm. There was a grand opening for the new tiger truf that has just been put down.

The games that they did with the parachute were sharks and lifeguards and cat and mouse they made a tent as well. Sharks and lifeguards is when you pick two people to be lifeguards and two people to be sharks, the sharks go under the parachute and pull the legs of the people on the outside and the people that get pulled in call "lifeguard lifeguard" and the lifeguards try to pull them out. Cat and mouse is when you pick one cat and two mice and the cat has to try and find the mice under the parachute. In the swimming pool it was free time but you could hardly move because there were a lot of  people. The Tasman sports trailer had heaps of equipment to play with like basket balls, stilts, hula hoops, a tunnel, hopscotch and more. In the sand pit it was just making your own sand castles. It was cool to have some old students that used to go to Stoke School there and to meet up with them.


  I am just going to go through what has been an awesome  at family fun night there was a water slide, the pool was open, the Tasman sports trailer was there, the parachute and the playground as well. We had a fantastic time at the family fun night. There was a grand opening for the tiger turf.

Learning Drama Part II

The actors were given a character with a strange habit ('quirk') to act out during a pretend quiz show.  The audience had two minutes to work out as many characters and quirks as they could.
Can you work it out?

Our actors are learning to 'create' a character (what will it look and sound like) and stay in a character for a scene - with mixed results. Our audience worked out 4 of the 5 characters but only 2 quirks.  Answers will be posted tomorrow when the students are back..

Learning Drama

The actors were given a character with a strange habit ('quirk') to act out during a pretend quiz show.  The audience had two minutes to work out as many characters and quirks as they could.
Can you work it out (the audience managed 3 characters and 5 quirks)?  Answers will be posted tomorrow.

Some actors are still learning but did you spot:
The superhero  - very shy (our audience worked out the quirk)
The student - wants to answer everything (our audience worked out the quirk)
The penguin - loves to sing (our audience worked out the character and the quirk)
The mother - cleans everything (our audience worked out the character and the quirk)
The juggler - can't focus on his juggling (our audience worked out the character and the quirk)
The police woman - moans about everything (our audience worked out the quirk).

Nau Mai - Welcome!

Those who do nothing because they are afraid of failing have already failed.
Those who risk failure and face the unknown,
whatever else happens - they have already enjoyed the success of courage!

Nau mai (welcome) to our blog.  I have so many hopes for Room 11, class of 2012, but the greatest hope of all screams for attention in the words above.  I pray our children dare to be brilliant, talented, awesome and happy!  I pray our children celebrate their potential to be great and cheer on the attempts of others to do the same.  One of the values of our school vision is "kia tu tonu!" or put very simply, "get stuck in and never give up!"

Happy new year and I hope you enjoy the world through Room 11's eyes.
