HIIT - By Marieta

This week LS2 have been doing some HIIT which stands for High interval Intensity Training. We got all got a partner and together we would take turns doing the workouts we were given. My partner was Florence. The first workout we did was the pull ups, where the partner would hole the sides of the stick and you would pull yourself up so that your chest is alined with the stick. Next were pushups. Here we got to do knee pushups and regular pushups. We would have 30 seconds each for a workout. The last workout was high knees and we had the choice of either doing it on the floor or the stage here my heart rate moniter got to red and so did everyone elses. We then done our stretches and then soon done a challenge where we were to do sqauts and go up with the music said go up and go down when the music said go down. The song we listened to was called " Bring Sally up". I found these workouts a bit hard but also very fun because it pushed my to do much better and to keep believing in myself. A big thank you to Mr Ogilve for setting up the equipment, picking the motivational songs and teahing us how to do these workouts.

Swimming Lessons - By Jonathan

On Thursday we were going to the pools because to learn water lesson and we had to change fast , so we can straight into the pool then they told us to get in the pool and swim to test us to go on different groups . So when we were in groups I was learning to be water safety and swimming , the first thing that we did is learning to say help , but I was think about when someone  was in the middle of the sea and there were nobody were near so someone would lay on my belly and look for shore . It was fun doing the water safety and doing some fun challenges like floating on you back for one minute it was really fun and then we swim next to the line up to the red float then go back and swim backwards and I think every kiwi should be water safety. 

Swimming Lessons - By Chavda

This week on Thursday was the beginning of our first swimming session. We are going to be having 9 sessions of swimming on Thursday's every week. In the beginning of the lesson we were split into 2 groups. I was in the first group. My group was learning backstroke (a bit), streamline (kick) and practicing other strokes. My favourite stroke learning was Butterfly, I was the only one in my group that  knew how to do it. I found this swimming class a bit easy since I know how to do all 4 strokes.

HIIT - By Aung Naing

Today we did HIIT. We worked on building our strength and increasing our heart rate. The activity that we did was push up, pull up and mountain climbing. We worked collaboratively with a buddy so that we can encourage each other to work hard. I found pull up hard because it drain all you energy to push your self up. We also had a challenge to do and it was going down to do a squat if the song say bring sally down, the song that we use of the challenge is the son is bring sally up. Also I would like to say a big thank you to Mr Ogilve for doing the lesson with us. 

Softball Interschool by Mele

Yesterday the year 5-8's softball teams went down to Dunkirk Park to participate in our softball games. There were 2 teams that represented Panmure Bridge School, which was the year 7 and 8 team and the year 5 and 6 team. We played 5 games each. We won 2 games and lost 3 games. Our opponents were Glenbrae School, Point England, Ruapotaka School, O Puau Te Moananui A Kiwa, and Tamaki Primary. We tried our best, but unfortunately we lost to O Puau Te Moananui A Kiwa, Point England, and Tamaki Primary. We managed to win against Ruapotaka School and Glenbrae. Throughout every game we showed teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship to each other. All of us were excited to try our new PE uniforms on.
