Marshmallow Tower

Yesterday the 21st of september we made towers out of marshmallows and toothpicks me and my partner logan made a sort of dome with a oddly shaped flag on the top and then it fell to pieces because the weight of the flag.Because we couldn’t fix it we raged and broke it to pieces and ate it all.

Cross Country Wrighting

Cross Country

Cross country is an interesting time of the year when you have to practice your running strategy and technique. Even though it helps keep you fit, it is overly time and energy consuming. Why do we need cross country when we can have daily short runs that are more efficient and effective? Some people would go as far as to say, it is a waste of time.

First of all, let’s get something clear we (my group) do NOT like cross country, and the reasoning behind that is as follows. The first reason is that instead of running beyond your limits, you should instead make them run as far as they can until they start walking and then let them stop. The second reason is that we don’t believe that we should be forced against our will to do something that we would not do if we were given a choice. Perhaps doing one of the many fitness exercises we know, or running around Putikitiki 3 times, and then the beep test after it would be as effective as running the cross country.

So if you agree, come talk to Jack J, Daesharn P and Andre R at Hamilton East School for more student choice.
