Review

Today we had to make our end of year review it was cool because we got to choose our own photos. We had to make our end of year review I did mine around Whakaiti-respect, Mana motuhake and Manawaroa. The hard part was finding 20 different photos. The easy part was putting them onto kizoa. The thing I will do next time is make sure I double check on my video for mistakes. Here is a link to my video. Take a look

Athletics day

On Tuesday we had our athletics day. We had all kinds of activities like hurdles,  long jump, high jump, shot put, discus and sack racing. when the day started the yr 7 and 8's started at hurdles I got 6 seconds. On the day we had to learn how to show the school values and how to show great sportsmen ship because there were also junior's watching us. when it got closer to the end of the day we did our house chant's and then sat in our houses. When athletics day finished I looked back and I thought of the best activities and that activity that was my favorite was doing long jump. My least favorite one was doing high jump because I don't know how to jump in scissors position. The easy part was having fun and collaborating with everyone. The hard part was dealing with my saw foot. I think my next step is to really try and practices scissors jumping. Any ways here are some photos of the day.

 

Waka reflect

On Saturday I floated my boat and I thought it would sink. But after I used nearly everything on the bench it still didn't sink because it had dense. I used a soap bottle, hand soap, tooth paste and about 10 other things. I used these because they were all heavy and some were light.  here's a photo of my boat

taumarere

On Thursday the 25th the bilingual classes went to taumaere because we had to learn about the history around that place. We had all jumped on the train and headed off. The big kids had walk 3km from taumarere bridge to opua it was so tiring but I am keen to do it again. Also we had to do a scavenger hunt it was really fun. After that we all  had to walk to the club rooms to catch the train. Here is a D.L.O of the past and present of taumarere.

hanga waka

I have been learning how to build a waka there are so many ways my favorite way is using plastic bottles. The hard part of making my boat was making sure I had the rite design and if I had all my materials.The easy part was building the boat but It was a struggle finding my equipment. The thing I will do next time we do this I will be organised the week before we do it. Anyway the boat I have design is made out of plastic bottles and sticks

. Here is my design.

Te rau pou manawa

On Saturday 17 of November my school Kawakawa primary school kapa haka group went to perform at  Maranga Mai E Te iwi regionals they were incredible they came 3rd for intermediate and 4th to go to nationals. My favorite part was the haka and poi because it's very cool. The only thing they needed to work on was to have fun and enjoy it because they looked bored because they had no pukana in them. Here is the link for there kapa haka. Te rou pou manawa o Kawakawa.

Hanga waka

This week we have been learning about how a boat sinks and floats.
We have been learning about buoyancy and density because after we learn these we can design and build our boats so we can examine if they will sink or not. here's pic of what my boat will look like.

Reading to Nga Rau Rito

Yesterday We had our library open and we had to dress up in our favorite book character I was a school child. Anyway we had to do reading activities one of them was reading to the junior classes we had to read to Nga Rau Rito it was fun. The easy part was choosing a book that was cool for kids. The hard part was getting the kids attendance because they where so bored. Maybe next time I should ask what book they want me to read. What do you think. here are some photos

measurement

This week we were learning about measurement.  My class and I had to make a d.l.o about it. The things we learnt were 10mm=1cm, 100cm=1m and 1,000m=1km. The easy part was measuring different objects. The hard part was prancing the words probably. The thing I will do next time is get the LI done before everything else. Here is Tuishaly and my D.L.O.

Taumarere history

Today we had to make a Taumarere history D.L.O so we can show it here on our blog and show if we know the history of Taumarere.

My Holiday

Movie

1.  ready/clothes

2. arrived 

3. watch movie

On one warm morning I received my clothes and got ready. When I finished snatching my clothes I went to the kitchen  to grab me some nutra grains, When I finished that I exit the kitchen to go get my sister ready. Later on I ran to the bathroom to groom myself like brush my hair, brush my teeth and wash my face. Then when everyone was finished getting ready we all jumped into the car then left.

1 or 2 hours after we left the house we arrived at the movies. 10 minutes later we departed from the car to the counter so my dad can book a ticket for me to watch the movie venom. while we were waiting for the movie to start we shot off to the gas station. 1 hour later the movie started and my dad just finished paying money for a ice cream, pop corn and a drink.

20 minutes later the adds had finished and the movie started. As the lights went down I filled up with excitement as the movie went on it became funny. There were a few parts of the movie that was boring but beside that it was really cool. 2 or 3 hours later the movie finished and I quickly zoomed out of the movies then jumped in the car. After I got in the car we left whangarei  to go home.

Decimals

Today we were doing decimals and for the first time I felt like I was on track. If you don't know how  to do decimals here are a few tips. If your not fluent with not using the table then you have to. Fill the table then start from right to left. If you have a number over 9 then you leave the right number in the box and then carry the left number to the left table.

here are 3 different types of tables.

Here is my finished work

Project island

Today I made a video of project island. The easy part was making the video. The hard part was finding videos and photos to put in my movie. I did this to show what it was like on the island and how fun it was. here's a link to my video please watch it a relax well it plays.

FUN RUN

Last week our school all went to the fun run at united Kawakawa rugby club. I was so nervous I had more goosebumps than I usually have when I'm nervous how ever It was such a blast. I had came 8th in my race I was running with the 10 year olds because I was 10 at the begin of the year. What happen is we got called out our ages and we all had to line up we had to wait until Matau boden said go he said go and we ran off. How did we get there we had to catch the train there and back. Why did we go we had to go because it was a competition . We always used to call it cross country but now it is called fun run because we do fun obstacle courses like the cargo nets and going under noddles. The last thing I will tell you is that we also had color powder the colors where pink, blue, purple, yellow and green. Here are some photos.
