Blogging

Hi Team 17,

I hope you're all having a fantastic holiday! Happy birthday to Aron and Laura.

I've made a photo album called 'Holidays' in our Team 17 photos. If you'd like to add some photos of your holidays, here's how to do it.

1. Go to our photos (click on Team 17 photos on the right hand side of the blog)
2. Click on the album called Holidays - make sure you sign in as room17@fendalton.school.nz
3. Click the 'upload' button

4. Make sure Holidays is highlighted in blue and click on 'select album'

5. Click on 'choose file' (on some computers it might say 'browse') and find the place on your computer where the photo is. If your photo is on your camera you need to put it on your computer first. Ask mum or dad if you need help.


Then, all you need to do is put it into your blog post (you know how to do that, right?). If you've forgotten, leave a comment and I can write some instructions for you.

Going to gymnastics

In my holiday, I went to gymnastics and did some jumping, rolling,balancing and golfing. My brother came to and it was my birthday!
The favourite thing was when I jump roll and jump to the cushions but I got stuck because there were lots of cushions so My teacher put a mattress on the cushions. Now it was easy. Now we rotated to a another activity and this activity was making me a bad stitch because this is a complicated because I have to jump and jump and jump and jump and land. It was easy but it made me a terrifying stitch. The next one was hurting my arms because I have to put myself up with my arms. The next one is balancing and that was easy. I played a bit then I went home.

The amazing story

Once upon a time there were Korea vs New Zealand. First, the mavellous korea team starts first. Aron got the ball but the New Zealand player, Harrison Mcdonald blocks the way. Aron pass it to yoonseok and then yoonseok pass the ball to Na-myoung but will, Jamie,ben were blocking to way. Yoonseok passes to Aron and Aron shoots and made a goal.1~0. Now Ben kicks to Will and will shoots a goal. Now it is 1~1. Yoon Su kicks to Aron and Aron shoots and get the ball but Yoonseok got it but Louis kick it off it went to Aron Lee. Aron kicks to Yoonseok but Yoonseok got tackled. Yoonseok kick and made an goal! Now it is 2~1. Ben kicks it but it went to the greatest girl called Na-myoung and Na-myoung kicks to Yoonseok and he kicks to Chris and Chris head the ball to the golickfer and golifer head the ball to Aron and Aron shoots and made a goal! Now it is 3~1. Ben shoots and he heads to will and He shoots and made a goal. Now it is 3~2 and Aron starts again and he runs with the ball and Ben was trying to kick and Aron jumped and went to the goal and shoots a goal! Now it is 4~2.Ben kicks the ball but it was a stupid kick and it went to Na-myoung Jeoung and she shoots the ball to Yoonseok but Yoonseok got tackled again. The New zealand player, Harry goes out and Yoonseok got an goal.Now it is 5~2. Now it is Half time and Na-myoung rushes really fast and had a drink.Now New-Zealand players starts first and he kicks really far and made an out. Aron throws the ball to Yoon Su and Yoon Su kicks and made a goal! The Korea team Won!

My weekend

On Saturday, Dad, Andy and I went to field to play soccer. It was funny because I passed the ball to Andy and Andy runs away with the bsll and Dad is trying to stole the ball and Andy sprints really fast. He kicks the ball out of the feild and I rested because Andy keepa blocking the way.The teams were Andy and Aron vs dad and We won by 13~8. When we were going home, we stopped at the shop and we bought a Ice-cream and we went home.

Flight

How to do long jump.

1. Run as fast as you can and don`t slow down.

2. There is a mat that you have to jump.Step the mat with one foot and swing your arms so you can go very far.


3. Land with 2 feet because you will fall backward and if you fall back ward the people will measure your head to the bottom and when you go out don`t go backward because you wil lose all of your distance that you jumped.
Hope this sport is fun for everyone!

we were at assembly in term two and learning about heroes. and then Mr Sibson told Us that we need to go to the field. And then there was a helicopter called the air force. they need to always come on time and they came exactly on 10.15 we knew because Sheena had a watch on. And told us just as the helicopter was coming and you could here it. Sheena was going to take a picture of Me and Gracie and Lauren and she did. then me and Gracie got to go under the tale of the helicopter. and it looked like we were lifting it. THE END
