Who Inspires You?

We have been writing about who inspires us in Room 4. We talked about what inspire means and we developed a success criteria to help us with our writing. Below is a picture from our modelling book.

In the comments below tell me who inspires you and give me one reason why.

Whole School Cross-country

What a great morning we had at Waipuna Park on Tuesday for our whole school cross-country. The sun was shining and everyone looked fabulous in their house colours. In Room 4 we have been writing recounts about the cross-country. Leave a comment below with your thoughts or feelings about the cross-country. For more photos of the day please visit the sports page. 

Read a selection of our cross-country recounts below:

We went to Waipuna Park on the bus and the whole school came to. We ran around the trees and we went through the log. I was tired. I got a number 7 card and it was fun.

On Tuesday the whole of Tauriko School went to Waipuna Park on the bus for our cross-country. When it was my turn to run we all lined up at the start. The man shot the starting gun into the air and we were off running. We ran around the grass, up the hill, over or under the log and through the walnut trees. We could hear lots of people cheering us on. When we came near the finish line I started to sprint. After all my running I cam 2nd in the Year 2 boys race. I felt puffed but I was happy and had lots of fun.
