Term 2 - Netball

In netball, we have been learning to shoot, to balance, to chest pass and to throw and catch the ball. The skill that I have improved on the most is shooting, to learn this skill I had to take my time and measure the ball directly with the net, then I had to candy cane the ball into the hoop.

Read aloud

This term we read a novel called 'The Bold Ship Phenomenal' by Sarah Johnson. It was about a boy called Malachi who on the way to school one day, he was walking along the beach to get to school and something caught his eye. It was a bottle and not just any bottle, a magic mottle with something inside. In most movies there would be like a map or a letter or something like that, but not in this one. Inside was a... Ship! Yes, a big, pirate looking ship, and wait, there's more! The next day Malachi looked in the bottle and it was in a completely different position. Yep, the Pirates inside the bottle, on the boat moved, so did the ship. It was like, a WHOLE different universe.

Metaphors

Metaphors WALT: use metaphors to make our writing more descriptive. We took part in a “Get NZ Writing” project. We wrote on postcards and had to describe ourselves using metaphors. We sent our postcards to Hukanui School in Hamilton. They sent postcards back to us. Here are some metaphors from my poem. Sophie Beale is the Opera house because she loves to perform. When she looks in the mirror she sees an angel with a golden, glowing halo.
