A huge thank you to New Zealand Pole Vaulter Olivia McTaggart for coming to speak to Kauri Team today.
Her words were both down to earth and inspirational.
She talked to us about setting goals, dealing with disappointment and turning difficulties in to positive change.
Here is a link that gives you a glimpse into Olivia's life and how she came to be a pole vaulter.
Hello Megan, Matilda here.
ReplyDeleteYour post is awesome!! I especially liked how you wrote lots. You reminded me of the time I was there. The message I got was don't give up if things get tough.
Bye, Matilda.

Hello Megan!!! It is Mikayla from your class.
ReplyDeleteWhen Olivia McTaggart came to visit us I was so exited and I thought that she
Would bring her pole and show us but she was just talking. But now I know a lot about her. I do not think that I will be a famous or a really good athletics person when I am older. It was really weird being siting the the place that we were siting in. But I really liked how she came and visited us. She did tell us some of her goals so we made some of our goals.
would you do if you were a famous athletics person???
Blog you later!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Megan, its is Amy from your class.
ReplyDeleteWhen Olivia McTaggart came to Owiaraka. I was very exited I thought it would be very cool and it was. I now know a lot about her and the message that I took away from the talk was that I should belive in myself and never give up because you can always find something you like. I thought she might bring in her pole vaulting pole but she didn't it turns out that her pole is about 4.5 meters long which is huge. She really inspired me and she is really nice.
Have you seen a othletics person in real life?
Bye blog you later.
Hi I'm Byesion and I'm going to say that olivia really made me want to try it. pole vaulting seemed to be as easy as eating... no drinking water. the best thing was if I really wanted to I could to. BYE!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Ms Judd, Lila here from you class!
ReplyDeleteOMG that was so awesome her coming she was a very inspiring person and very kind! When I'm older she inspired me to be a pole volter too! She used to do gymnastics from 4-14 but she went to the doctor and saw she got 3 breaks in her back. She trains for 2 hours every day, 6 days a week. She does pole volting 2 of those days and she works on her upper body 2 of the the days and her lower body the other 2 days! She mainly inspired us to never give up under any reason! DO you want to be a pole volting?

ReplyDeleteKia ora Ms Megan Ebad here. Olivia made me want to do stuff that I cant do and that you can do anything if you put your mind into it. Thats all I have to say goodbye.
ReplyDeleteHey Bloggers/Teachers!
ReplyDeleteRose here from Room Seven! It was so much fun meeting Olivia on Wednesday! She High-five both of my hands and hugged her! My favorite part when she was talking was when she was talking about her Gymnastics! Me and Miyah really thought she is really pretty! I really thought it was inspiring how she was doing Gymnastics and then she had back probelms and then she had to stop doing it but then she discorverd pole cvaulting. Rose
