Hi everyone, Thanks for all your book suggestions in our last blog. It's a perfect time to snuggle up inside with a good book so keep up all your reading.
We have had many special sporting events recently including our House Athletics Day, District Cross Country, visit by Collingwood Football Club and Tennis clinics.
What has been your favourite sports activity? How do you like to Sharpen The Saw and keep fit? Share your super sports experiences with us.
So hard to pick my favourite... am a Collingwood supporter, so obviously that was a big highlight for me... the tennis clinics are so well run and we have more this week and next... the District Cross Country was fantastic, I was so proud of all of our 3 - 6's who competed and it was brilliant to have Jacob make it through to the next round... but, if i have to pick one, the House Sports Day was my favourite! I love that it was the entire school all down at Dolamore together, participating in sport and having fun! What a magnificent day!! Mrs Mitchell.
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree with Mrs Mitchell. It was so fantastic to see all the Parktone Students in their house colours! Every child did a wonderful job scoring points for their team!!
DeleteMy favourite sport is probably the tennis clinic the people really liked me there!:) I was really good at it and it was a lot of fun!!!!!!!!!! :D With this sport it's really easy to sharpen the saw. You do stretches with your arm you put strength into your swings and when the tennis racquet hits the ball it will go flying away!!!!!!! :P
ReplyDeleteIf you keep practicing you'll be so fit! :)
Good advice Dan!!
DeleteI have got to say house athletics day because we got to do so many types of sports. My favourite sports were hurdles and high jump. I realy tried my best others did too but at the end of the day my team won! Go yellow house.
ReplyDeletethat's all we can ask Tarlia, great job!
DeleteI liked the tennis clinics. I sharpened the saw by stretching my arms and it also made me get really good at it and it is lots of fun. They taught me how to do a forward hand and back hand and how to hold the racquet. They are really good teachers. You should try tennis too!!
ReplyDeleteyou're right Anika, we're very lucky to have SEDA coaching in our school!
DeleteMy favourite activity was hurdles on house athletics day because it included lots of speed to get the hight and I love using speed. It was very fun and exciting, everyone had fun!
ReplyDeleteCompeting in house athletics day was awesome because it helps you sharpen the saw and keep fit. This day is definintly my favourite day at Parktone!
keep sharpening the saw so you can be fit.
Glad it's your favourite Mitch, it's mine too!
DeleteMy favourite sport at his school so far is the whole of the Athletics Carnival and I can't wait for the next one. I enjoy playing the different sports especially the 400m run
DeleteI liked the sport athletics because we all could show if we were good at sports or we were good at something else. I Also liked the tennis clinic I learnt how to do a back hand and a fore hand I'm really looking forward to the next lesson I think we are learning about serving. But if I had to pick one I'd choose...house athletics because of everything we did. I HAD FUN!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun Jordan!!
DeleteWell done to everyone that paticipated in cross country especially Jacob for coming 7th and getting through to zones. Well done to everyone for doing your best in House athletics.Thank you to Seda for teaching as about tennis.
ReplyDeleteWell done to you too Holly!!
DeleteMy favourite clinic was the football clinic, but both of the clinics were really fun. I liked all the things we did in that clinic and it was really fun. I also liked the football clinic because I am better at football than tennis.
ReplyDeletewe have SEDA football coming in Term 3 Dylan... now you have something to look forward to!!
DeleteWell done everyone who did cross contry everyone did a great job. Great job Jacob for coming 7th. Well done everyone that tried and everyone did a fantastic job and did their best.
ReplyDeleteEveryone did a great job in the house sports day, well done yellow but every other house did a great job.
Thanks to the Seda kids coming and teaching us tennis it was so fun.
You're a gracious winner Alice! well done!!
DeleteGood sportsmanship Alice... gracious in victory!
DeleteMy favourite sports activity has been the tennis. It was really fun, they taught us skills. I also liked house athletics day, I liked doing shot put and long jump. All the other things were fun to!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're having fun Lily!!
DeleteGreat to hear Lily!
DeleteThanks to the Seda people that helped us with skills in tennis. Also in Parktone P.S we like to play tennis after you left we all played some tennis with our friends. Thanks Mrs Mitchell for oranising all the sports you have done like hoop time and Athletics.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Charlie! Better start looking into HoopTime for this year I guess... ;-)
DeleteThanks to the Seda group for coming we had lots of fun playing tennis. Thanks to Mrs Mitchell for organising all the sports days like athletics.
ReplyDeletePleasure Dean, glad you're enjoying them!
DeleteThat is a hard question...though the tennis was really fun and so was the House Agthletics. So it would have to be one of them. Also well done to everyone who went to cross country,I honestly woudn't survive that sort of run. Again, well done to Parker at the house sports. Actually parker even doubted themselves. That proves never doubt what you coud achieve.
ReplyDeleteYou could if you trained for it Ryan... ;-)
DeleteMy favourite sports activity was probably the tennis clinnics because there were fun activities that also helped us learn about tennis. Usually when my trampoline is not to wet I go on that to sharpen the saw. Even though I'm not in parker I'd like to congratulate them on coming 1st.
ReplyDeleteexcellent sportsmanship Blake!
Deletethe tennis clinic was very fun and you learnt a lot about tennis forehands and backhands
DeleteI've got to say all of the things like cross country and some of my favourite Collingwood players coming down to our school were my favourite things from this month but if I had to only pick one thing it would be cross country.
ReplyDeleteGo Pies!
DeleteAll of the events were great but I personally think house sports was the best because it was fun, it was good exercise and yellow house won!
ReplyDelete(I am in yellow house by the way.)
Go Parker!
DeleteI agree with Mrs Mitchell, the house sports were my favourite but it was a very close call.
ReplyDeleteIn the house sports my favourite event was long jump.
Great to hear Oscar!
DeleteThanks for helping us learn new sports and having fun when we do it. I liked doing tennis and learning more about it. And I like how you are keeping us fit. Tennis is one sport that like but I do like Taekwondo.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that PE is your favourite subject Tom, it's mine too! ;-)
DeleteTaekwondo is excellent for you core strength (stomach and back muscles) Lara, as well as your flexibility and strength...
DeleteI like playing basketball and keeping heathly when ever I can. I like doing x country because it keeps me fit my favourite subject is pe because I like sports.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed cross country so much. I sharpen the saw by playing lots of sport and resting after. Thanks for helping us keep fit.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed Cross Country Aaron... hope your fingers heal quickly!!
DeleteWell done everyone on the House Sports and go Parker! Everyone did really well and good job to everyone in the cross country especially Jacob! GO PARKTONE!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite sport activity was when the Collingwood supporters came to our school and when it was athletics day. Everyone did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI absolutily loved the house sports day it was so much fun! My best sports experience has to be when I came first in a swimming race that I had never been in before and got a new personal best time as well. Thank you Mr Danson, Mrs Mitchell and all the staff at Parktone for your amazing efforts to keep us all happy and healthy!

ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant effort from all the children, parents, staff and in particular Mrs Mitchell on a successful House Athletics Day.
You were all amazing!
Good on you Miss Commins, for taking out the longest Shotput throw. (Teachers)
Techno Tennis, Collingwood football players, House Athletics and the many other sporting events at Parktone have been fun and helped us all Synergise as a team.
Mrs Mitchell, you organise so many positive events for Parktone. Thank-you!
For last few weeks I have been sick but I have been able to do my homework. So I am happy with myself!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite experience was when I entered a scooter competition I was very scarred I ended up coming first.

ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying Interschool sports and I think I've been getting better at footy and tennis. Thanks Mrs Mitchell!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ms Callanan, 5C & all the students who have posted thanking me for the clinics and the house sports! It is my pleasure to organise these activities for our school, but it is great to get such positive feedback on how much you all love it! Keep up the love of sport, it's something that you can always turn to when you need a 'little pick me up', especially if you're playing a team sport. There is nothing better than having teammates!! ;-)
