My Limerick Poem

After we completed the research about limericks, we had to make our own. 
A limerick poem is usually funny, with 5 lines and the 1st line introducing a character.

Limerick Structure

Earlier this week we have been learning about writing limerick poems. But before we could start writing one we had to make a DLO about the structure of a limerick.

What to do in an earthquake and/or tsunami

Earlier this term, our school participated in the nationwide Shake Out which is a earthquake drill followed by a tsunami drill. After this had finished we came back to class to create a DLO about what to do before, during and after in a natural event like this (especially when we are at school).

ASB Netball

On Tuesday, our school netball team went down to the netball courts of the annual ASB Netball Challenge. We played 5 games altogether. I played WA (wing attack), WD (wing defence) and even C (centre). We won our first 2 games by about 20 points and then had a close game for our 3rd pool game. We went into the semi-finals against Karoro and beat them by around 5 points. That meant that we progressed into the finals against St Pat's. It was an extremly close game with them leading 5-0 at the start, but we got a comeback and ended up winning 18-14. 
We won a trophy and in the next couple of weeks we will be versing teams from other close regions to see who the overall champion is going to be. Here is a photo of our team after the tournament.
