My Weekly Reflections :-)

On Monday we used Studyladder to do some Statistics Mathematics. We started doing Fitness again and we did Olympic Tabloids. Every group was a different country.

On Tuesday we continued on our Olympic Projects that are due in at the end of next week. For the Olympic Projects I have chosen the Sports

• Women's Hockey
• Rowing Men's Doubles and Rowing Men's Single Sculls
• Men's Shotput

On Wednesday I continued on my Olympics Project and also continued on my animal. The animal I chose was the Okapi.

On Thursday we had Technology and we used plasticine to create a model of what our design may look like. We are making candles and mine has KC on one side, NZ on the opposite and I have a treble clef with the word MUSIC and on the opposite side to that I have a Hockey Stick, Umpiring Whistle and the word HOCKEY.

Today is Friday and we have tidied our class and school because our new teacher is being officially welcomed and the opening of our Makerspace room.

 

The Weekend Has Been Again...

The weekend has gone and I have had an eventful weekend at Hockey.

On Saturday we were at the turf at 8:00 to host a regional tournament. We first played against Waikato and lost 3-2 but we did really well because we scored the first goal.

We also played against Auckland the same day and lost 7-0.

On Sunday we had finals and we had to play twice. Once against Tauranga and we lost 3-0 and we lost 3-0 to Bay of Plenty placing us 7th of 7 teams.

Cross Country

Today at 1:00pm all of the school is going to the Principals Farm to run Cross Country. For my year we have to run 2 and a half laps of a paddock on the farm. I am not looking forward to Cross Country because I do not enjoy running.

My Weekend Reflections

On Friday I had Hockey (Like Every Friday). First I umpired at 5pm then played at 7pm. We won
6-0.

On Saturday I umpired 2 games. One at 9am and one at 10am. The first game I umpired was won
29-0 and the second game I cannot remember.

On Sunday I had to be at the turf at 7:15 for Boot Camp and then the team practised for half an hour before we played against Auckland Diocesan and lost 2-1. :-(

My Weekend

Friday: On Friday after school I had Hockey. I started at 5pm umpiring and then at 7pm I played.

During the game one of our players was carded and had to spend 2 minutes on the sideline. She was carded for not being the required 5 metres on a free hit.

Saturday: On Saturday I umpired 2 junior games. 

The first game was a harder game to umpire because the coach was being very rude and the other umpire and I were sworn at multiple times. At the end of the game the coach refused to sign the card because apparently the score wasn't correct.

The second game I umpired was a lot easier and free flowing to umpire. 

That evening at 5pm I went to the PISC (Pukekohe Indian Sports Club) Junior Disco for Hockey. It was really fun being with friends from Hockey at the disco.

Sunday: On Sunday I had to be at Hockey training at 7:15am to do a fitness Boot Camp before we trained. We did multiple things incuding

• Bronco Run
• Run to Turf
• Commando Crawl
• Push Ups
• Burpies
• Star Jumps
• Squats
• And more!!

And after Boot Camp to finish our Warm Up we ran the distance to the turf to train.

I was told at training that if the team ever has a stroke that I will be the one to take it.

A stroke is a one on one with the Keeper and you have to flick or push the ball into the goal from the spot in front of the goal. 

After Hockey I didn't do anything for the rest of the day. 

And that is my Weekend. :-)

My Weekend

My weekend was really fun but both days I had to get up really early. Starting Friday I played a game and we won 15-0. I then umpired and it was really cold. We all got club jerseys and they are Green with PISC (Pukekohe Indians Sports Club) down the side, the logo on the front and your name on the back. I got my jersey after umpiring though.

Saturday I had to get up early to be at Hockey at 8:30 to umpire at 9am. And then I umpired at 10 and 11am as well. When we went home we cleaned up most of the time and then watched Zootopia. I didn't enjoy the movie much so I went and watched The 5th Wave in my bedroom.

On Sunday I had to be up even earlier to be at the Turf to have Representative Training at 8:30. After training (and getting hit by multiple hockey balls) I went to a friends house and we watched The 5th Wave because I hadn't finished it the day before. After we stopped watching the movie we had a Nerf War with her brother. I was then dropped back to Hockey to umpire a Senior Woman's game and then taken home by another friend. So I wasn't home pretty much all of Sunday.

I really enjoyed it on Sunday and would do it again.

My Wet Weekend

On Friday I had Hockey and we had our hardest game so far this season and we won 3-2. I then umpired after I played and it was really cold because I umpired at 7pm.

Saturday was even colder and I had to umpire in the cold rain and the wind was also really cold. After I had got completely wet and finished my 2 games I went home (via the supermarket) and got changed and went back to Hockey to 3rd umpire an Intercity game. I then umpired a senior mens game and went home to see my sister and her friends getting ready to go to the movies. I watched TV until they got home and then went to my room and watched more TV until my other sister went to bed so I watched TV on the laptop. When I woke the next morning (Sunday) I went shopping with a $50 Whitcoulls Voucher to buy my sisters birthday presents. I also got 4 whistles and a new pencil case. My littlest sister got teeth that light up in crazy colours. My day was pretty great when my sisters friends left but then my mums friends turned up for afternoon tea. I was happy whilst I played with an 8 week old kitten. I then cleaned my room and watched more TV.

My weekend was wet, cold, happy and pretty average. It wasn't the greatest weekend but it wasn't the worst either.

Recitation Finals

Today (23rd June) we had Dramatic Recitation Finals for the Senior School.
Dramatic Recitations are when you have to find a poem a certain length and learn it and then perform it and use props and other pieces of equipment to make it like a performance.
There were 20 Finalists and only 12 placings. 3 for each year group.
The Year 5 Finalists were

1. Ryan F
2. Alyssa R
3. Darcy M

The Year 6 Finalists were

1. Dylan N
2. Issy R
3. Emily I

The Year 7 Finalists were

2. Samantha L
3. Josiah D

The Year 8 Finalists were

Karlson and I were the emcees for the Finals and because I had not heard the poems before it was really enjoyable.

I really enjoyed hearing the poems and everybody seems to get better and better every year. 

About Me Refresher

I am 12 and my birthday is in October. My name is Kaitlyn and I go to Hunua School in South Auckland. I am one of three school leaders, two girls and a boy. I play Hockey for a club and I have been a Counties Manukau Representative for the previous 2 years and I have trialed for the team this year. If I make the team this will be my third year and the tournament is being held in Hamilton. I umpire Hockey and have been to a Central Counties Regional Hockey Tournament to umpire. I umpire Senior Men's and Junior Hockey. I participate in the UNSW ICAS  Exams and have received marks from Participation to a High Distinction in Digital Technologies. Last year I played the piano and got high marks in my Practical and Theory Exam. I do not play any instruments currently though. At School Prize Giving last year I received 2 trophies/cups, they were the Year 7 Achievement Cup and the Digital Technologies Trophy.

Maths

For Maths we have moved from Geometry to Algebra and we have been learning about number sequences. I really like number sequences because I find them easy to remember like number plates and pin numbers. I think I find them easy to remember because I like numbers and I am always adding numbers even if I am not doing maths.
