Cross Country Practice

In Te Ngahere we have been running around the school to practice for cross country. We have been running 2 laps around the school seeing what your time is. So basically the teacher holds a stopwatch/phone, then we run around the school 2 times and see what your time is. The point of this (apart for practice) is for personal improvement. The first run we had my time was 9 minutes 54 seconds, my second time was 6 minutes 15 seconds,  my third time was 5 minutes 43 seconds and my last one was 5 minutes 33 seconds. My opinion is if you are fast you would get 5 minutes and under and if you are slow that would be 8 minutes and over. What I enjoy about running around the school is, it’s good exercise and it’s good for your health.

Katarina Lee Visits Paihia School

In Te Ngahere, we went to our whare to see a author. Her name was Katarina Lee, she wrote a book called Rise of the Boy King which is a lost in time series. She also wrote a picture book which I can’t remember the name of but it is about an octopus named Omri. She told us about her books, how she became an author and we played instruments for her while she was singing.  What I really enjoyed was choosing a teacher to dance on stage. It would’ve been so funny if our teacher went on stage and did the octopus dance.
