Room 9 Motueka South School: Gymnastics

Gymnastics

For a few weeks Motueka South School have been practising Gymnastics for a Gymnastics competition. They have all been doing well and are looking forward to the big day! After continuous practises, the routines are getting to the brain and they should be sorted quite soon. Most afternoons the team have practises for about 30 minutes, learning new moves like jumping over the box, doing handstands, the beam and many many more. The Gymnastics team leader/organiser of the event Ms Dowell works just as hard as the competitors and runs the comp on the day. As well as many other teams Mot South will be competing on the 31st of June. Teams will start learning their dance routines this week which will be choreographed by many year 6,7's and 8's and will be to music. If you would like to catch the Mot South teams at the Gymnastics Festival go to the Rec centre, and enjoy some well practised entertainment!!!

I am about to go out and buy a microphone so our classes can communicate with each other through Skype which will be exciting. Another new technology that our school is involved with - watch this space!

Camp preparations are now well underway. Please esnure you are up to date with all of the information and notices. If you haven't paid for camp yet, and are able to as soon as possible please do so this week.

KORERO TASKS:

The korero tasks will continue as your topic tasks over the next couple of weeks. Think carefully about your topic.

Your talk will be on a topic that you choose, but within one of the three categories:
Did You Know: For this discussion you need to pick a topic and collect information about your topic form any resource. Your "Did You Know!"discussion needs to have an introduction, body with at least three points in it, and a conclusion or summary of what you have told us about.
Hear All About It: For this task you need to keep up with the news events over the week. Select one item of news. The item needs to be introduced when you are presenting it to the class, it needs to be followed up with three pieces of related information and a summary statement given.
Something About Me: For this discussion you need to selcet something that you are willing to share with others about yourself. The discussion needs to be introduced, and have three supporting pieces of information about it, as well as a conclusion.

Each week you will present one topic of discussion. Please ensure you are planned and organised. The presentation needs to be completed in your homework book, but how you present it is up to you. You may use supporting information eg: this is my favourite song, and play it..... then develop the discussion about it.
Your discussion could be a fact you have found in a book you are interested in.....
The options are endless and they are driven by you as you get to choose your topics.

Please remember each discussion needs to be referenced. You need to say where your information came from.
