olympic bus exsperiment

On the 25th of July the year 3,4,5 and 6's of Broadlands School went to Rotorua to go see the Olympic bus but it was more of an Olympic truck.  There was other schools there as well.


Broadlands spilt up into groups.   The year 3 and 4's were together and the year 5 and 6's also.


 The year 6's and 5's started at the gymnastics area and the year 3 and 4's started at the volley-ball area.
In the gymnastics area we got a number and that was the group that we would be in. My group started at the minature tramp where you had to run, jump then land straight on the mat.


When we heard the whistle blow that was the signal for your team to rotate onto a different obsticle anti-clockwise.   We learnt lots of other things in the gymnastics area. Ding, Ding the bell rang so this means that it is time to change sections.


So we moved onto Soccer.  Soccer is really fun. We learnt how to score a goal and how to guard the soccerball.  Yay! Time for more activities. We got to line up into two lines and we were giveb a colour, wither red or blue. We raced lots of people and against one another. Some people were really fast and some were slow but it dosen't matter because we were just here to have fun.


Time for the Olympic bus. Wow! there were lots of touch screens, and we buddied up and we chose our are questions to research. At the end we got a photo with a silver medal.

IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pass it

On the 11th of June Arehi from the magics team came to our school to teach us how to play Pass it.
The year 5 and 6 students lined up and headed to the Broadlands hall, across the road from the school. We grab a hard green netball and we pass it to our partner.  Then Arehi  split us into 3 groups to play pattern ball. Pattern ball is when you and your team form a circle and pass the ball to each team mate but you are not allowed  to pass it to the person beside you. We played lots of different games to practice our passing skills.
We enjoyed our time with our coach and had lots of fun.
