PBS Athletics

The annual school athletics day was a vibrant success, blessed with perfect, sunny weather that shone down on the bustling sports field. The air was thick with the much excitement of the students representing their four distinct teams: Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green. Competitors demonstrated great sportsmanship throughout the day’s various activities, which included the power events of long jump, high jump, shotput, and discus. After a full day of thrilling races and impressive field efforts, the Blue team earned the most points and came 1st place.

Learning about Kate Sheppard – Leading the Way for Woman

For a long time in New Zealand, only men were allowed to vote  No matter how smart, rich, or hardworking they were, they had no say.  In 1893 Kate Sheppard managed to get parliament’s approval for woman to have the right to vote.  

During week 6, we have learnt about this iconic character and the important role she has played in history.  Part of our learning, LS1 students had to make a character profile of Kate Sheppard, this is some of the amazing work that has been completed.

Kelly Sport – High Jump

Today we practised our high jump skills in preparation for next week’s athletics. Unfortunately, the rain prevented us from practicing on the grass, so we moved inside to the hall. Nevertheless, we began our session with a recap of how we need to jump. Many of the LS1 students remembered that we use the scissor technique.

We then practiced jumping over a rope first, with a student holding each side. After we had mastered that, we moved on to jumping over the beam onto the mat. LS1 has a lot of talented jumpers in our class!

LS1: the jandal throw

Today we watched a past film festival fil from the amazing LS1! We focused on the theme, which was preserving. Below is our reply.

Tēnā koe LS1, its Matua Peter. This is awesome! The way you have made the this film was amazing. The theme of perseverance was carefully explained by the use of dialogue, camera shots and the soundtrack. Also it was very funny. How long did it take to make?
