SoftBall Recount
“Okay class because I promised you we will go for pe because it was raining last friday so we are doing” Said Miss Ashley whole of room 7 replied “ YAY!” Miss Ashley replied “but we are not playing invisible touch; Bullrush or Golden child because im bored of those games because you guys always want to play those games all the time so we are not playing those games” so we took a vote to want we are playing but miss ashley said we can play softball for 20 minutes and play 5 minutes of any games you guys want afterwards.
We all went outside after lunch we also had to wait for 2 of our classmates (Waiari and Sumuree) to get the equipment for softball Miss Ashley called “year 6’s line up behind Syraiah-Lee and year 5’s behind Havea” Syraiah and Havea did rock paper scissors Havea won by using scissor because Syraiah used paper so Havea chose for year 5’s.

Editing made up story
Here is our edited story.
Things we learnt about were
We aren’t allowed to use then, and, also and because at the beginning of a sentence.
Speech marks go on the OUTSIDE of the full stop or other punctuation.
The end of a sentence can be marked by a full stop, an exclamation mark or a question mark. You don’t need to put an extra full stop after a question mark.
Remember to check ALL capital letters. Sometimes we need to put them in and sometimes we need to take them out.
On Monday 24th September 2018 Room 7 did a blindfold challenge. We wanted to have fun and make our morning a bit interesting by playing a game.
Firstly Miss Ashley told us the rules which was “no touching the tables or pieces of paper on the floor or you will lose points.“ However you are allowed to touch the chairs because you sometimes have to step over them to get to the end. Next we got into buddies. My buddy was Lucina. We had to line up by the heater in our buddies.
First it was my turn to go so Lucina (my buddy) put the blindfold on me (over my eyes) and helped me to stand up. The blindfold was tight it felt like a constrictor boa on my face. I felt so confused and disorientated because the blindfold was covering my eyes. Lucina told me to “go left, right, straight and step over.” I was feeling nervous and a little bit scared because “what if she was tricking me?“ and I was really doing something silly. I got to the end safely and took my blindfold off.
Next it was my buddies turn so I helped her put the blindfold on. I told her to walk straight first, then next turn left. She doesn’t know her lefts and rights so she went the wrong way.I said “no your other left” and it was a little bit funny. In the end we got to the blue fruit tray and we made it without losing any points!
I think I would like to do this activity again because it was cool to do something different and fun in class especially since it’s the end of the term and I think we are all feeling kind of tired.

Thursday 21st of September.
“Today we are playing the blindfold challenge everyone” said Miss Ashley, whole of room 7 replied “Okay Miss Ashley” with an excited voice Miss Ashley said “ okay this are the rules if you bump into a table you lose 2 points if you step on paper you lose 1 point but if you get up to chairs you won’t lose points because you get to use them to get to the end and touch the purple cardboard” room 7 replied “Okay we know all the rules now Miss Ashley”
All of room 7 got into buddies but because Havea didn't have anyone so me and Railey put him in our group because he is our friends so we wanted to be nice to him that’s why we put him our group, I was the first one in our group who went first I felt paralyzed and also blind while I had the blindfold on when Railey and Havea had their turn they felt the same as well.
Me and Havea had a hard time telling Railey where to go because he was kinda not listening to me and him because he went his own way but he did really good because I liked how thinked about what we said so he was a very good listener and followed instructions.
I was not paying a tenchin at all to Railey and I thought to myself “Am I being a good friend not listen to Railey” so after that I was being a good friend to Railey but he was happy that I did not touch anything to lose points for our team I was happy that Railey and Havea made it to the end and made us have 30 points also that made our team win the game.
My favorite course was all of them because they were very easy they were a very cool team game so that made the whole of room 7 very happy and also extremely FUN! The easy one was the first because Miss Ashley made it easy for us to get past and make us get EXTREMELY EXCITED!
