I hope my golf club won't fall apart during my presentation next week!

On Thursday the 18th of August, Salome came back into our class to help us to continue our art work. First Salome asked us how we were progressing with our art pieces. I was nowhere near finishing my art work, so I rushed around collecting the materials that I needed to finish off my golf club.

Meanwhile, I stacked some cups and taped them together. The tape wasn't strong enough to hold the cups together so I went to the glueing station. My classmate Justice told me that Salome was too busy to glue our items for us so  we had to do it ourselves. I told myself to be careful because the glue is very hot. Then I glued the bottom of the golf club to my golf club.

After a while, I showed Miss Chao my golf club and tested it out. The cups on my golf club fell apart so I went to the glueing station to glue them together again. Soon, Punipuao asked me if I needed help and I said yes and punipuao helped me glue all the cups together. Then Salome asked me to test my sport equipment. Salome Said to me that I am very creative and she told me to add some colours. When I had just limy equipment up onto the painting table, Salome called out that it was time to pack up.

We all rushed around the classroom, trying to pick things up and put them back in the right place. I cleaned the tables and tried to rub off the graffiti that was under the table. Everyone helped but we didn't finish in time because the classroom was very messy. We all said karakia together and said thank you to Salome.

Finally, we ran out of the classroom to go and line up outside Room 4 and 5 with our bags.

My favourite part was when Punipuao helped me to glue all my cups together to make my golf club because I was falling behind. I can't wait for the presentation next week and I hope my golf club won't fall apart during the presentation.

Wow! I made a golf tee in just five seconds!

On Thursday the 11th of August, Salome came back to our class so we could continue with exploring our Olympic sport. My sport was Golf. I wanted to continue working on my golf club and my golf ball.

First Salome told us what we needed to do. When she said go, we all ran to collect our materials and the creations that we have already made from the last two sessions. I went up straight away and grabbed the materials that I needed. I grabbed 4 pieces of paper and scrunched them all up into one ball. Then I grabbed some tape and wrapped it all around the paper ball.

After a while, I went to the painting station and painted the whole paper ball white. When I finished, I placed a paper towel under it and placed it on the bottom of the window frame so the sun can shine down on it to help it dry faster. After that, I went to help my friends to paint their sports equipment.

I tried to make a golf club but Salome said that we only had five more seconds left, so I grabbed a skewer and a mini plastic cup and glued the bottom of the skewer (not the pointy end) to the middle of the mini plastic cup from the bottom.

Eventually, Salome called out pack up time, so we rushed around the classroom trying to get the classroom clean as fast as we could. We were as fast as a cheetah and soon our classroom was spotless.

My favourite part was when I made a tee in just five seconds because I didn't think I would be able to. Today was fun and I hope I will be able to finish making my golf club in the next session before our presentation.

Playing Tee Golf

Hurray!! My class and I played Tee Golf.

Every Thursday coach Kannel and assistant Stu showed us skills how to play Tee Golf.

First coach Kannel taught us how to hold the golf club. The rule for holding the golf club is L-hand, R-hand, feet together, L-foot, R-foot and piggy pop.

You have to hold the golf club from the grip.

Next, coach Kannel told us the golden rules, "have fun and be safe". He also told us about courtesy.

Then we had a challenge. The challenge was after we hit the ball with the golf club, put the golf club on your L-shoulder. My team won because we listened and we had thirteen points.

After that we had to shake hands with coach Kannel and say good game or thank you.

I think tee golf is cool because it is fun.
