Recount Line Tag | Writing

L.I is to learn how to make a proper recount.
This week in writing we played a game called line tag. Mr O's writing groups wen to play line tag outside on the school netball court. When we finished we came back and wrote a recount of the game. The challenge was that we only had forty minutes to do it. I think the first time I did it was pretty good but I didn't do that much paragraphs. ON thursday we had another session of writing this time we had to make it better then the first recount. I didn't know if I could do it. I was really scared but I managed to do it. I think I did better by doing paragraphs and putting more punctuations in it and using TREE in my recount.  I think I also did good by being specific in this recount.

Boxing Session

L.I is to learn the basics of boxing.
This week is the first week of kiwi sport. The sport that we are doing for kiwi sport is boxing. Boxing took place in the school hall. The teacher for our boxing classes are Bax. Bax has two fights her fist fight was for charity. There was three rules she told us. They were Respect, Discipline and Safety. If we break any of the rules we had to do burpee's each time we broke a rule.

When we finished we started. We had to get gloves so that we don't sweat in the gloves and we also had to get gloves to train with. We had to get into partners. The person that I partnered up with was Sakina. When we got into partners we had to decide what numbers we were. I was partner number 1 and she was partner number 2. Partner 1 had to sit on the first line and the second partner had to sit on the line behind me.

Then we started. The first thing we learn't was standing in a position. To get ona position we had to but our legs apart and feet. Then put your right leg to the back. When you do that you have to bend down. When you finish that you have to you have to clinch your hands and but them to your checks softly. After that we punched our left hand straight. It is called a Jab. We did it a lot of times. When we finished we learnt how to do it two times.

The next thing that we learnt was a cross. so to do the cross we had to move our leg to the side. When we did that we had to punch with our right hand. We done it ten times.

I enjoyed this first Boxing session because I have learnt a lot of things from this boxing session.
