Athletics

 Kia ora bloggers

In Te Ngahere we have been practising for athletics day. We do athletics every year. For athletics there are five different activities, high jump, discus, long jump, shot put, sprints and relay races. In my opinion my favourite activity is high jump. There are five different groups. I’m in group four this year, I started with shot put what  I found hard with shot put was to try and throw such a heavy object.

Have you done athletics before?

The Sleepover

 During my two week break of school I went to my friend’s house for a sleepover his name is Mikaire. We had heaps of fun we played in his tree house, we played dodgeball, video games and  gang up. When we play dodgeball we play it on a trampoline there are two people on the trampoline and two people have to throw the ball at each other. Then the people on the trampoline need to dodge the balls. When we finished playing outside we went inside to watch movies. Later we played games like fortnite and ARK survival.

Have you played ARK survival before?

The Art Of Art's

 In Te Ngahere we have been making calendar art. We have to blend the colors together to make it look nice, and after we finished coloring we had to draw over it with a marker pen. Before we started on our real copy we had to practice on a practise paper. The only thing I found hard about it was that I could barely see the lines that we had to draw over.

Wonder Project

 Kia ora bloggers in Te Ngahere we have been working with the Wonder Project team. They came to teach us about rockets and what the key things were to keep everyone safe at all times. We also had to fill out safety forms and we wrote who the safety adviser would be the planner and other jobs to do to keep people safe. I learned that whenever you are constructing something you have to be mindful of others and what I found hard to fill out the forms. We also had do make a DLO about everything we were learning. Have you met the Wonder Project team?

Goodbye bloggers 

Wonder Project

Yesterday, 29th of July,we were learning about the wonder Project. Two Engineers came into teach us about the Wonder Project. Their names were Gustavo and Troy, they are going to come in once a week on Wednesdays. We were learning a little bit about them, they make the future different by doing new things. Somehow Gustavo made a red kiwi fruit by combining a mix of kiwi fruit variates. Then after they told a little bit about themselves we had to make a DLO.

Next week we are going to begin building bottle rockets

Enjoyable Tik Tok dances

For the past two weeks we have been learning tik tok dances with the class. We were practicing so we could do it in the whare for our assembly. We had to practice two tik tok dances. We made a video of use doing it it was tricky but we enjoyed them. We also made a video to show use how we went.

Turbo touch

In Te Ngahere we have been playing a game called turbo touch. The rules in turbo touch are at the bottom of my doc. Turbo touch is a fast and easy game. The thing that was hard for me was to try passing the ball to someone when everyone is calling your name for the ball. It would have been easier if we had more room to play.

Swim Safe

In Te Ngahere a lady named Tracy came to our school to teach us about water safety. She told us the five rules to keep safe on the ocean, Rule one always wear a life jacket when your on boat. Rule two tell someone where you're going and what time you will be back so they know that you're safe. Rule three check the weather so you know the sea is safe. Rule four put your safety first that means if someone is in trouble don't just and save them so you don't get heart. The last rule is have a emergency beacon radio and a play a flare. What I learnt from Tracy was your life is worth everything.

Steam challenge

In Te Ngahere we did a Steam challenge. We were learning to make a free standing object out of two sheets of newspaper and tape that was 30 cm. It was a challenge to build the tallest newspaper tower. It was really frustrating to make the tower stand. I paired up in a group of three .Their names were Dayton and MIkaire. The tower didn't stand properly because the base was scrunched so Dayton tried to put his hand through the base so it could stand straight; we finally made it stand. The highest for our tower was 1m. We nearly won but we came 3rd. The people who came first were Zhynaliyah and Emma .Second place was Franky, Imogen and Mark. We lost but we still had fun.

Stella preasent

On Thursday May 30th Stella and Natalie they came into the Whare to show us about stoats, rat’s, cat's and possums. They also showed us were stoats, rats, kiwis, cats and possums lived. They didn't always stay in this country we brang the pests to NZ and now we have to kill them we don’t do it for fun we do it to make the kiwi’s a better home. Not the kiwi also the native animals and trees. I learned what is native and what isn't native.   

Disco

On June the 12th we had a disco at Paihia School in the whare. We had to pay two dollars to go in the whare. There were face painting, limbo, food, lolly’s and we could take a photo outside with our friends and family. I had so much fun with my friend’s and my family I went to do all of those things at the disco here is a photo of me and my friend. On both of these photos I am on the left bye come check my blog later.
