Magic Box Poem

I will put into the box …

The sound of the pacific island drums banging in my ear

From the time of the sunset shining in my eyes

A whisper from the trees in my ear

I will put into the box …

The freezing hand of a bloody crown

A loud war scream from sacred tapa

For all the memories of my first steps

I will put into the box

All of my dreams that I have kept and all the nightmares that made me wept

For all the time that I am down

and a rugby trophy that I shall hold

For the time when I grow old

My box is fashioned from  tapa cloth and  adidas clothing with Pakuranga jaguars logo on the lid and rugby ball in the corners.

Its hinges are destroyed like the many souls that were lost in the great war

I shall share my box for centuries and treasure it.

So they finished the race together. They both showed great sportsmanship and team spirit. They are also good role models for younger kids.

Olympic Comparison

We have been learning to consider both sides of a provocation so that we can make an informed opinion.Mrs Anderson asked us to think about  Should host countries spend to much money on Olympic venues.To make our informed opinion we had to think about both sides of the story and see which one was more stronger and then we had to come up with our own opinion. My DLO shows what the Olympic venues look like then and now. It show both sides of the argument. I think that they shouldn't spent to much money on Olympic venues because what are they going to do once the athletes have gone and what are they going to do with it once they Olympics are done.

Run Jump Throw

Today we had fun at Run, Jump and Throw. This is my collage that I created about Run Jump and Throw. We had to use techniques that we learnt last week and we had to use it for running like athletes. We had to run in a straight line, stand tall, eyes focused on the front, light feet and check to check.When you run you need to use high knees and you have to stay focus and look in front of you and do not look at the other runners beside you. There is a difference between Long distance and short distance starts. Long distance starts say on your marks and Gun sound!!. Short distance runner starts say on your marks set and CLAP!!. They don't say on you marks set go for long distance runner because they just line up and then they are already ready. Short distance runner stand 1 meter behind the block. Then they walk to their blocks and then Andy says on your marks set and the gun fire sounds and that is the difference between long distance runner and short distance runners.
