Reflection term 2

My favorite thing that we did this term was Math Whizz because it was the first time I have done Math Wizz. My favorite thing to do on Math Whizz was the tutoring because there was diffrent types of math equations.
The hardest thing for me was counting back in 5’s because it was very difficult for me.
The thing that I’ve enjoyed about this term has been learning new stuff even though it was hard for me.

Basketball


This week Room three learnt how to play basketball. Our team was called the Giants. The other groups were Power Rangers, Bulls, Lakers, and the Breakers.My team only won once in basketball.First of all we went in the tennis courts and we surprisely saw a basketball pro in our courts.



Later on we learnt how to dribble a ball, we had to dribble the ball all the way to the cone and then we had to dribble back to our team, it was non stop dribbling. The name of the game was dribbling relay, it wasn’t that hard for me. The next game was called dribbling cones. It was similar to the other game that we play but instead we went around the cone and it was still non stop dribbling. We had two rounds for this  game.

The very last game was running and shooting. There was a white cone and a blue cone in the corners and the teams had to run around it and dribble the ball and then we shoot. We had two rounds too. In the second round we had to give the ball to the second person and the first person had to run the same way but when we got to the hoop the person with the ball had to chuck the ball at the person at the hoop.

At the end of the basketball session I felt good because that was the first time I've played basketball.

Holy Faith Sisters



The Holy Faith Sisters are nuns that started our school St Pius X Catholic School.  Margaret Alyward was the starter of the Holy Faith Sisters and she started our School. She started our school so all children all over the world could have a better education in life. Especially the children who couldn’t afford to go to school.

Koru art

These two Pattens are the guards for the king. The three little koru’s on the side of them are people from the army. They were forced to kill the king, but the guards didn’t let them through. So the people from the tricked them and so they killed the king. The lines that are between the guards represent a symbol of War.    

School Emblem Description

The cross reminds us of when Jesus died on the cross for our sins. The waves reminds us that the water is healing for when we get baptised. The top of the circle remind us that Jesus will light our way. The bottom of the circle remind us that the earth is God's creation.
