Surprise Visit???

Today, Panmure Bridge School was visited by two very famous New Zealand sportsmen. Ryan Hoffman(Captain) and John Palavi from the Vodafone Warriors. Getting to meet one of many people's role models was a privilege. This visit was all put together by DTR. We would like to thank DTR for organizing this for us, it was an amazing experience. Georgia from the Vodafone Warriors had come to talk to the whole school about being well-being. We first started off with a trivia. There were two teams, team Hoffy and team JP. If we wanted our team to answer we had to chant our team name. Next, Georgia talked to us about sleep, and the benefits of it. It helps to recharge our bodies especially for sports people like the Warriors. An average amount of time of sleep for primary age is at least 11 hours. Then a adult is 8 hours at least. We then learnt about hydration. Water is the most important drink than any other. It is healthy for our bodies and keeps us hydrated. We all should be drinking water all the time. The last topic Georgia taught us about was belonging. We all belong to some where, some group. We all should no where we belong to. We'd like to thank DTR for organizing this for us and especially to Alice the sponsor manager from DTR. Also thank you for the spot prizes.

Run, Jump, Throw with Andi

Yesterday the year 7 and 8 students had a joined session of Run, Jump, Throw. In this session we were looking at long jump. Andi took us through some tips when doing long jump. When you do long jump, you have to remember that you are swinging your arms forward. This gives you more momentum to jump further. We also had to keep in mind that we have to always land on two feet and have to keep our balance. Then at the end we had a competition to see who could jump the furtherest.

Current Events - Olympic Spirit


Since the 2016 Rio Olympics are on, LS2 have based our current events on this. We have looked the recent accident that has happen. The Nikki Hamblin and Abby D'Agostino incident which happened during their 5,000m qualifying race. This was a extremely special example of sportsmanship. This moment will be remembered for how sportsmanship could be showed through any sport that is played.

Netball Interschool Competition

On Wednesday the 17th, the years 5,6,7 and 8 went down to the AMI Netball stadium to compete in the Tamaki cluster Netball Interschool. There were two teams for both year 5 and 6, and year 7 and 8 named one and two. For team one(which I played in) we played against Pt England 1. We played a tough game but in the end Pt England came out with a win. after about three games, the boys and I started to understand more about the game and knew more about my position. Then we played Stonefields and did really well against them. We happily came out with the victory. Then for our last game we played against our own school!? Actually the P.B.S second team, and I enjoyed playing against my own classmates. P.B.S one, was  the victor of the game winning 5-1. We would like to thank Mr Ogilve and Ms Naiker for taking us down for this opportunity to play in the interschool.

Olympic Comparison?

This week LS2 have been debating about a topic(Should host countries of the olympics spend so much money on Olympic venues). We have talked about what reasons we could find that will back up our own opinions. We also have been researching the state of past olympics stadiums then vs now. We have a provocation that I have added to my drawing that I have reasoned about.

Run, Jump, Throw.






Today LS2 were lucky enough to have a joined session with both year 8 and 7 but this time we were outside. In this session, Andy taught us a stance in sprinting. Tips for a running stance: always before a race you stand one meter before the start line, then when the starter calls on your mark you proceed to the line. Just remember when going to the start line, you are not allowed to be touching the start line or else it will be count as a false start and you will be disqualified. Then when you are at the start line you put your preferred foot in front and other behind still having balance. Also which ever leg you are putting forward you have your opposite arm in front and other and the back. This will make it easier for you to have a great start off and will be very balanced. Also Andy told us the difference between a long distance race and sprint race. With the starter says ,"On your mark, get set, then the gun sound will go." That is a sprint race, but a long distance race is said, "On your mark, then the gun sound will go off."The last and important tip is that you always looking ahead so that you are not distracted and slow down. A big thank you to Andy for this fun joined session of run jump throw.
