Amazing Adverbs And Verbs

 For the past week in Te Ngahere we have been learning about adverbs and verbs.  We are doing this to identify the mood in stories. In our reading groups we made a google doc with three stories on it. In the three stories we had to find all the verbs and adverbs and write them down on our doc. When we finished that we did three other stories that I found harder because there were some words I didn’t know. I kind of enjoyed learning about the adverbs and verbs but at least now I have a better understanding on what they are. Do you know what adverbs and verbs are?

Amazing Cricket

Today in Te Ngahere Someone called Neil came to teach us some skills about cricket.  First he gave us some tips of how to hold the bat & how to stand properly. After he finished talking to us we got into pairs and started practising hitting the ball and fielding. After a few minutes of hitting and fielding we played a game called Non-Stop cricket. To play Non-Stop cricket there are two teams the batters and the fielders. Also there were only three bats. The batters job is to just hit the ball but if the fielders catch it they lose a bat. If the batters loose all of their bats the teams switch over. I really enjoyed playing and practising cricket and I hope Neil comes later in the term to teach us more skills. Have you ever played Non-Stop cricket?

The Best Holidays Ever!

 Last Sunday I went to the rugby game in Whangarei. The game started at 2pm and it was Northland vs Southland. When we got there the two teams were doing some warm ups like practising their passing, catching and tackling. Both teams were pretty good. In the first half Northland was winning 11 to 7. But at full time it was 14 to 18 to Northland. After the game we got a picture with the mascot. It was really fun watching the game and I hope there is another one soon.
