Week 12 - School Cross Country

This week, we all participated in our annual school cross country. It is a great day where we participate in lots of different events run by our Year 6 leaders. We also run challenge ourselves when running the cross country race.  This year, Year 3 and Year 4 students completed two laps of the course. It was a long run and everybody who participated did an awesome job.  Here are some of the photos from the day.

Cross Country Learning

Talofa lava bloggers,

For the past two weeks, we have been focusing our reading on the theme of Cross Country, exercise and fitness.  We have read lots used this to create new understanding.  Firstly, we connected and explained important words about this topic. You can look at the connections Rayhan made here.

We read about the positives and negatives of running and Cross Country.  With this in mind, we added our own ideas to our class padlet. Check out our ideas.

Finally, we thought about what we had read to create an infographic about Cross Country or Exercise. This was a great way to summarise what we had been learning. Have a look at our DLO creations below.


We'd appreciate a positive, thoughtful and helpful comment below.

Week 8: Cross Country

On Wednesday the 11th of September we held our annual cross country event.  This year, we have been working hard to fundraise for a canopy for our school courts as part of this. We have been very busy, gaining sponsorship for the different activities that we participated in on the day.  As well as running the course at school, we challenged ourselves to skip as many times as we could in a certain time, kick as many soccer goals as we could, traverse the tricky obstacle course and cheer other school members on while enjoying some cake and iceblocks for energy.    It was a fabulous day!  You can see some of us in action in the photos below.



If you have time, we would love some positive, thoughtful and helpful feedback.
