Meeting the silver ferns

Yesterday 9 of us went to St Kentigern college to meet 4 of the Silver Ferns. It was so exciting because I never met them before. The skills that we learnt were shooting, passing the ball straight and hard to their chest. Catherine said that power comes from your legs. She is my most favourite out of all of them. The skill that I mostly enjoyed was shooting. We played a game called golden child, even though I’m not a shooter I still enjoyed it. Maria said that she started playing netball when she was in a certain age then a few years later she became a Silver Fern. She is a Silver Ferns for 11 years now.  

Meeting Kanoa Lloyd

Yesterday morning, almost half of the class met Kanoa Lloyd, we all recognized her because she was on sticky T.V and 3 news, she was the weather reporter. Kanoa came to our class to give out two duffy books to two kids in our class. The kids that got the duffy books were Heather and Huntah, Heather was so surprised. We had to ask her some question and she answered some of them.

Life ed with Nicole

This morning room 7 and 8 combined together and went to the life ed van to meet Nicole. In the van we learnt about the brain, and the nervous system. While we were in the van we learnt about three things and they were things that happen in your body so the words that we had to match up with these words, physical, emotional, and social. Physical means that while you are growing up what are the things that changes in your body, emotional means that what are you feeling, and social means that do you want to talk to someone about your private things.    

How has sports made me a better person

Walt : write an explanation

I have always liked sports and sport has showed me to learn about some sport values. And the values I remembered are : Respect yourself, respect the rules, and respect your teammates,while you are playing in a game.  

Sport has made me a better person

Respect

Respect has made me a better person in sport because now I am a little bit fit and mentally able to cope with what is required of me in sports. I have learn’t to listen to my coaches advice on how to play the sports.

Respect that I have to able to work with my teammates, to achieve our goals. I have learnt that I have to learn to respect the other team that we are playing against and to take losses and victory with humanity. One also has to learn to keep and even temper and not show too much emotion on the field as you can not let down your teammates by your behaviour.

Excellence

In sports the sport that I mostly play is netball and every Tuesday we all have to work together to win every single game. Even Though that we lost our first game of netball we are still at the top of the score board.

Excellence has taught me to not cheat and respect the other team. We shared 1st place with this team called Kohimarama and last Tuesday we beat them, now we are finally at the top of the score board. I enjoyed playing with my teammates and versing other teams too.  

Friendship

Sport has made me a better person by making new friends with my opponents. I play netball but at school in a team we go to the AMI netball court and compete with other schools.

I enjoyed playing sports and meeting other opponents. Sports has made me a better person because it has made me fit and healthy. But in netball I need to learn and get free and keep my eyes on the ball.
