Last week Friday, we had our first netball game for winter sports, I had been chosen to be captain, since Whaea Jasmine was on camp we had Whaea Jody.

Our game wasn’t at all competitive but it was really fun, I can’t quite remember what team we versed but it was a really good team, they had 3 basketball players on there team so it was kinda a advantage, but overall it was really fun, The positions I was in was Goal Attack and Goal Shoot the whole game, I enjoyed playing with my teammates.

The RISE value I used was Success by getting more then 5 goals.

Kia Ora,

For the past 3 weeks our school has been swimming/health & P.E, For health and P.E we have been looking at what types of food are good for the body for example, Calcium is good for the body because it strengthens the bones in the body, and we have been looking at what are the top best foods for teens, every morning when the swimmers go to the pool we do some yoga\stretching, Harper and I were buddies and we had done a poster together.

I have learnt the reasons why Calcium, Protein, Vitamin D and Healthy fats are good for you here are the reasons:

• Calcium- Your body needs calcium to build and maintain strong bones

• Protein- Repair. Your body uses it to build and repair tissue.

• Vitamin D-It’s vital to bone health, muscle movement, nerve connections to the brain, and immune system function.

• Healthy fats-These include lowering the risk of developing heart disease, improving blood cholesterol levels, helping with blood sugar control and reducing inflammation.

For the past 2 terms the whole school have been working on a production, We have been learning about taongas such as the taiaha, patu, poi, and rākau, which are more than just physical objects – they hold cultural, historical, and spiritual meaning. we have been researching about these taongas.

Last term learnt how to use rakau and research about rakau because we had to teach the teina how to use them in our production. I was a bit anxious teaching the teina because I can’t really handle kids’behaviour.  It was a bit stressful teaching the teina because they weren’t really focused on learning the rakau, they were more focused on banging them on the floor and it was really hard to get they’re attention and focus. They kept banging they’re hands together when they were meant to bang the rakau together to make the beat.

Kia ora, I will be talking about my week and what i learnt this week.

The first thing I learnt was from Technology, I learnt that Mr.Smiths favourite robot is his robot vac. I learnt that from a blooket. I enjoyed playing blooket with my friends. We played crypto hack. I really enjoyed seeing the boys crash out because I kept hacking them. On the bus ride back to school the whole bus was singing “we want candy” which was really cool. I found out that Whaea Caroline had Grow A Garden and she had the new Zen pet. I don’t even have that whice is really sad.

I learnt prefixes in Te reo maori on Tuesday and Wednesday we were learning the whaka and Kai prefixes in te reo maori. Then we had Sharon Robinson 3rd and 4th block on Tuesday which was really fun. 3rd block we were writing a quick write. I was buddies with Eva, we had to draw a pet with super powers. Eva went with a dinosaur that was really cool and we had  In the 4th block we were playing a maths game. I really enjoyed playing that maths game.

One thing I really enjoyed this week was Kaupapa matua because we learnt about the different Patu and Mere Pounamu and we had to research them. We all learn about Patu.

A challenge I faced this week was running around the bike track twice with a rope in Maurakau. 

And holding the tip of a plait for Jaelyn-Rae because I was holding it for about half an hour.

I felt proud of doing most of my maths this week because I don’t really get to finish most of it.

And paying attention because I get easily distracted and actually finish my work.

Next week I would like to change my concentration on my work because I’m really bad at that and to get my work finished.

 And my handwriting because it was really bad this week and I really care about my handwriting.

This is the 2nd to last week of school. I’m quite happy because I’m so tired and I’m exited to sleep in during the holidays.

This week we didn’t have much stuff to do, we have done our normal daily routine.

On Wednesday we had dodgeball it was very fun because I haven’t been to dogeball in weeks, so it was good being there.

On Thursday we had tech I finished my cushion and there was a dog there too Mrs. Smith brag her in the dogs name was Sally she was so little and old, she was about 70 years old, I think that’s older than Mrs. Smith I can’t be certain. The dog was so calm and had a little waddle every time she walked . My mum said she really likes my cushion because it was her favourite colour ( green) and it was really earthy.

On Friday we had Assembly we were hosting it at the very end of Assembly we done a flash mob where we can do a line dance, we were doing Fireball it was very fun I was in group 4 which was the last group. The teachers were very confused because it was a surprise. Then now we have dodgeball.

The RISE value I used this week is Success because I finished the cushion In 4 weeks.

I can’t wait to see what the last week of school is going to be like!!

Today in maths we gathered data and used Google sheets to make a column graph. Our topic was Preferred Drink and our variable was genders.

There were 2 boys in fizzie drinks no girls, 6 boys in water 7 girls, and 7 boys and 7 girls in juice.

The features of my graph is the x axis it tells you what type of drinks and stuff.

From the graph I noticed that fizzie has the least with 2 boys and no girls

This week I felt normal because I know everything and it felt better than the first week because I didn’t know the teachers as much as I do know and the routine.

On Wednesday we had Pacifica and it was very good I know the sasa better and the moves. We did the same thing as usual, it was faster because all of us knew it.

On Thursday we had kapa haka last week I was not there but thankfully I knew most of the actions so that’s good we just did two practice warm ups and then sung our two songs and done the actions

Then we had a break. After break we had some lunch and I’m almost done with my cushion last week I wasn’t there so I didn’t really know what to do but I’m almost there. Mrs. Smith helped me most of the time, she was really helpful I’m making it for my cat because he’s a outside cat but it’s mainly because he doesn’t really sleep but he hunts birds and stuff so he needs it. After tech we had some lunch and then break and had CRT. After session 2 two the CRT teachers we had break. After break I had basketball training with Mr. Redmond. It was great we were just learning some basics. After that it was home time.

Today we had choice and challenge which I did dodgeball there was 9 of us teaching the little kids it was really good we versed them in one of the games and most of the time they were just playing death match.

I can’t wait to see what week 10 gives us!.

For the past 3 weeks we have been doing  Action Stations ,I have been learning how to paint with water colours with Urmi.

We have 2 techniques:

The first on is you wet the paper first and out some paint on to it.

The technique is you activate the water colours and just paint with it, it creates a more richer colour.

Activating the water colour:

When you first open the water colours they would probably be dry and you wouldn’t be able to paint with it so you have to activate it by putting some water on to it the you can paint with it.

The first time I done this with Urmi we done balloons. The second time we done anything we want.

Today we are doing some bubbles.

This week at school I felt very good because I felt like I knew the schedule more and I knew what to do more often.

This week I had Tech it was also good I didn’t have enough time to finish my fuggler, I got my restricted license for the sewing machine. And we got taught how to make a cushion and we got to find the patterns we wanted to do on our cushion I did this beachy pattern with shells and stuff on it and another pattern with green foresty pattern with leaves on it.

We had assembly this morning it was fun. Rongomatane was leading it this morning. We done the opening karakia and then Ata hapara did a presentation about the performance they done. Then Rongomatane done a presentation about how the pool was open. Then  Tangaroa done a presentation about Spencer park camp and how it was. After that Urmi showed us the Wednesday challenge and told us that next week we have wheel or bike to school week. Then we finished off with our closing karakia.

I can’t wait to see what week 6 has to bring us.
