PBS Athletics Day

Today we had our Panmure Bridge School Athletics Day. We were lucky to have a few Tamaki College Students to help us with playing the activities. Each year group was split into three different teams, where we learn't to collaborate and encourage each other. The year 8's first started at a game called 'Capture the flag,' we then moved onto, Sponge relay, Long Jump, Shot putt and Hoola Hoop Throw. I think my team worked very well together, since we won many games. The weather was not the best, since we all got wet but we did enjoy our day very much. 

Hockey - Session #2

This week, we had our second session of Hockey. We only had Carly as our instructor as our other instructor was away. We decided to play the juggling game where our task was to focus on the ball and keep it continuously moving. We also played another game, where we learn't to defend our balls. I enjoyed this session and am looking forward for next week's session. 

Cross Country

Yesterday, PBS went down to Dunkirk to have the Cross Country Races. For the past few weeks, we have been training to help us build endurance and keep the pace of our running. We learn't to control our breathing; breathe in from our mouths and breathe out from our noses. I ran four laps around the field in my year group. 

Run, Jump Throw

This week for Run, Jump, Throw we have been learning about Long Jump. We were shown the right way to do long jump by Andy. We did fun activities to test what we learn't about Long Jump. For example, an activity we had where we were into groups of 4 and were checking to see who can jump the furtherest. In my group, Mia jumped the longest. At the end, Zahn came first. I really enjoyed our session and can't wait until next time!

Current Events

This is Google Drawing about a very important event that has happened recently. Nikki, a New Zealand Olympian helped Abbey who tripped over in a 5,000 meter race in Rio. This event shows what true sportsmanship is and inspires me to help others when they need the help. 

Netball Interschool

On Wednesday, the Interschool Netball was held in the AMI Netball Center. Panmure Bridge had two teams; Revs and Avengers. We won 3 games and lost 3 games.  Everyone enjoyed themselves and had a great day. A huge Thank you to Miss Naiker, Mr Ogillvie, Miss Emma and the Otahuhu College girls that came over to help us.
