Cricket Coaching

Today at St Joseph School Grey Lynn had a session with a Professional Cricket Coach. We played with our buddies ( my buddy was Dante ) and the first game was head knees and toes etc. but when the coach calls ball! We catch the ball before our buddy gets the ball and it was a 2-3 which Dante won.

Next one was a Fitness session ( we were split in team a and b ), the first exercise was to jump over the ladder and jump over the ladder again and again until we reach the end, the second exercise was to jog over the ladder until it was the end. the third exercise was to have one step and jump repeat til the end and the last exercise was to criss-cross the ladder to the end.

The nearly last one was to get a ball and juggle it in the lower cones until you went to the higher cones. So if you were in the higher cones. You would throw it up in the air and clap two times ( one at the front and one at the back )

Lastly we were throwing balls at the goals which you get points and the winning team get to give a punishment to the losing team. Team B won ( I was in team B ) and gave 5 starjumps and 10 squats to the losing team

Cricket Coaching Today…

Hello!

Today the whole school had a cricket session, involving 1 Grafton United cricket coach.

During, 

We learned about teamwork, hand-eye coordination, and communication. First in the session we did a sort of “Simon Says,” but is was more of a dance (heads, shoulders, knees, toes, nose…) IF he said “ball” we had to grab the ball as fast we could, then following with leg training, ball coordination (Throwing the ball to each hand, and clap clap catch), following that was throwing accuracy, however, we sadly did not bowl, and then winning team was… Team B, sadly.

I felt absolutely EXHAUSTED.

A Recap About Tongan Language Week

The stuff i learnt about Tongan Language week was amazing                                                                                                These are the stuff I learnt about Tongan Language Week

  • There was a Rugby game between the Wallabies rugby union team and the Tongan team ( 11 – 16 )
  • The first European counter with Tonga was with Willem Schouten and Jacob Le Maire in 1616. Although James Cook stayed there 3 months and named it the Friendly Islands in 1773.
  • The reason why Tonga wasn’t colonised it’s because of the fierce George Tupou.

That’s it for now bye!!

Celebrating Tongan Langauge Week

I see people singing and dancing on the beaches. I can see fish in the sea and I can see the crabs. I want to swim with the whales. When I go to Tonga, I am going to have lots of fun.

By : Tamynah

 

I think everyone should visit Tonga because there are lots of little shops down the road and they are really cheap. You can swim with the whales in the sea. It will be so fun. Tonga has their own King. It has beautiful beaches and lots of yummy food. The people of Tonga are friendly and you can see them dancing and playing drums and dancing. I really want to visit Tonga.

Tongan Language Week is over! We had fun learning about Tonga and its language.
In reading, we read about ngatu, a traditional art form.
In math we did some symmetrical patterns inspired by ngatu as well.
Our challenge was to learn and sing a Tongan song. We sang the worship song “What a Beautiful Name” in Tongan, because church is an important part of Tongan Culture.
