Sonny Bill's Foaming Monster Experiment

Anna at Zone Day

In the 1500m I helped Abbie run, because she wasn't breathing properly, so I helped her and I came 2nd to last.
In long jump, I came third and I jumped 3.41m!
Then in discus, I came 2nd and I threw 14 metres-something.
I feel happy that I did well and I'm going to the Auckland Champion of Champions.

R14'ers go to Zone Day:

Jake is going to Zone Day for 1500m, 800m, high jump, discus and 200m. Anna is doing 1500m, 800m and discus. Olivia is doing long jump, and Kelsey is doing 1500m and 800m. AJ is also running in the 1500m and 800m.

Go Room 14'ers!

Group Day results:

Group Day was tiring for Anna and Jake, because they had to do every event. Jake won high jump, and was 2nd in the 1500m and 800m, and 3rd equal in 200m. He also came 4th in the 400m and 5th in the finals of the 100m.

Olivia came 1st in long jump and she fell over and bruised her tail bone.

Cody didn't go very well, because he came 4th to last - he didn't have any water. He learnt that he needs to drink water to help him win. He was also versing hard people, too.

Jamie-Lee was very frustrated because she was ONE cm away from coming 3rd in shotput!

AJ's first race was the 1500m. He shot out at the start with Jake. He kept his pace up and won by 200m! In the 800m, it was AJ and another boy out at the lead, but at the final sprint, AJ won!

Chris feels pretty good about coming first in the 200m.

Kelsey came 2nd in the 1500m and 2nd in the 800m, and tied for 4th in the 400m.

Dana came 4th in the 800m and she doesn't know where she came in the 1500m. Group Day was exciting, because she was representing her school.

Athletic Champions

Tuesday next week, 10 students from Room 14 are going to Athletics Group Day at Sandspit School.
We are versing all different schools in Waiuku. Our goal is to get to Zone Day for some of the events.
Anna and Jake are in every event that is available. Jake wants to go to Zone Day for at least half of the events, and Anna wants to go to Zone Day for the 800m and long jump.
Good luck Room 14'ers!

Zone to Champion of Champions!

Kelsey feels happy that she came 2nd in the Zone Cross-country for the Year 7 girls. It was the highest placing out of all the Waiuku Primary School students who raced today, but she is still annoyed that she didn't beat Savannah! Her dad cheered both her and Anna on, and her mum took them to McDonalds and they missed the prize-giving because they didn't know there was one.
Anna is proud that she came 16th and just made it into the Champion of Champions in Auckland with Kelsey.
AJ came 4th so he will be going to the Champion of Champions, too. He was right close to Finn until the end when Finn sprinted off and came 2nd. AJ felt pretty cool about coming 4th and in the Champion of Champions his goal is to make the top 10!

Group Day here we come!

Yesterday, we participated in the school's cross-country and out of the Year 7 girls, Kelsey was first, Anna was second, Dana was third and Eleanor was fourth - all these brilliant runners are from the one and only Room 14!

This means that we qualify to represent Waiuku Primary at Group Day.

We had to do 3 laps around the school and we were absolutely puffed!

Winnie the Pooh

We had to paint our favourite book character because we were reading an article about Gus Sinaumea Hunter, an illustrator from Wellington.

Gus said to visualise the picture in your head before you start drawing, draw what you see not what you think you see, when adding colour work your way from the background to the foreground - which no-one did! and practise if you want to be good.

It was fun and I learned how to paint good pictures.
