Lockdown report

Students glued to the floor for half an hour!

Christopher, TWP reporter.

On the 18th of June 2020 St Pius X Catholic school finally had a lockdown drill. While in lockdown students were as quiet as mice.

Lockdown is a drill your school uses when there is danger outside. Schools can go into lockdown from things such as dogs, swarms of bees and people trespassing through your school. While in lockdown the best thing to do is lie down on your stomach.

The instructor they had was Julia. Julia went to schools around New Zealand and taught them what to do in lockdown. You will be alarmed when the bell rings and stops for 1 minute. So if your school bell rings and stops for 1 minute, run to the nearest building in your school grounds because danger could be lurking in your school.

Kiwisport is finally back

Kiwisport is finally back!

On the 8th of June 2020 Kiwisport finally came back for St Pius X Catholic School. For Kiwisport they have volleyball. On Monday volleyballs were flying everywhere.

After four weeks of no exercise kiwisport had finally come back.The coach they have is Elena. For the first session they learnt how to set. One of the phrases they learnt was bend and extend. Setting is a skill you use to set to the spiker, get the ball over the net and when the ball is coming high. 

Just to check they actually learnt something Elena set up a few games of elimination volley but setting only. The winning team only had one player left so it was a close game. Volleyball is a fun game so if you want to play it I suggest you start practising.

I learnt that there are different types of plastic. Which are biodegradeble plastic, reusable plastic and single use plastic. Biodegradable plastic is like when you throw it on the floor it will be planted into the floor. Reusable plastic is when you can use it more than once. Single use plastic is when you use it once and you can't use it anymore.
