In Te Ngahere we have been practicing Cricket. The person that came in to teach us about cricket was a guy called Neil. Cricket is a really fun game to play there are four different positions there is the backstop, batter, fielders and a bowler. Before we started playing a proper game of speed cricket we had to practice so we had to get into a group of two and then we would go to a bat and then we put the ball on a tee and then hit the ball off the tee with the bat. What I found hard was to catch the ball.

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.

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.

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.

Gotta Go Fast

In Te Ngahere we have been practising for cross country. We are going to be racing other kids that are the same age. This year I don’t care what place I come, I just want to participate. For cross country every year there is  sausages, juicies, nachos and baking from the adults, the food is very delicious. The older you are, the harder the courses are, the only thing that I find hard about the 11 year old’s course is that we have to run up a big hill and then run back down.

Fantastical Music Lab

In Te Ngahere we have been making music, We started making music this week on Thursday. It is a very fun site to make music on here is a link to music lab. The teacher wanted us to start making rhythms first  so we could get the hang of it before we make a song. Out of all the instruments I liked the little monster with red sticks and the other monster with red and yellow drums. I learned how to make a rhythm. To make a rhythm you have to click the dots and push the play button then it will come up with the music that you've made like my one.

Amazing Te Reo Ma

In Te Ngahere we have been learning to pronounce maori words and sentences. The teacher would give half the class a set of cards with maori words and pictures of weather on it but the other half of the class went to PE. Before we got cards from the teacher we got into groups of three or two then when we got the cards off the teacher we played ika ika that means fishy fishy. The only thing I found hard about it was to pronounce the words. When the other half of the class finished doing PE we went out. 

Have you learnt more than ten maori words?
