Our Relievers

 Our Relievers

Yay relievers today, I love when we have relievers because we normally do art. This time we did do art, Room 1 did Picasso and Room 2 did Sandra Silberzweig art, but I'm in Room 1 so I will tell you about the picasso art.

We grabbed a piece of paper and a vivid we weren't allowed to have another piece of paper or use pencil. We started with the face, the face that I did was a weird face but I was fine with that. After the face we had to draw a line that looked like it was the side of a face. Then we had to choose a nose, lips, ears, eyes also for the eyes they didn't have to be the same eye, that was all for our face. After all of that we had to do the hair mine was good until I wanted to do a beanie and after the actual hat of the beanie I decided I didn't like it.  But I had to roll with it and just made it into hair, you can hardly tell.  Then we had to colour the face and hair, put the paper on the back of the black paper, then do the background and were done.

Now I will show you a photo of my picasso art... 

That was our reliever day!

Gymnastics Festival!!

 GYM FEST!! 

 

I was so nervous for the gym festival. Oh and if you were wondering what the gym fest is it's a cool festival for gymnastics. Boys can do it and girls can do it. Obviously I wanted to do it, gymnastics is my life, and my 3rd home. 

 I was the only one competing in our entire school, but I was excited. I went in to the trampolining club ( waiting room for gymnasts ).    Then I waited for all the other A-graders. Once we got there we practiced some of our moves on the floor and did a bit of box. After about 30 minutes we had to line up in our lines for the school. They told us where we were going first box/vault. But I'm going to tell you my two favorite. Beam and floor.

We walk out into the gym club,  we moved onto our apparatus that was beam, one of my best. It was my turn, I presented and I got on the beam and off I went. I got a 9 out of 10 I was so happy. It was time for our next apparatest floor and I was so excited we had to make our own routine with music my song was Bom bom! It was time for me to do my routine, I started with a round-off flick-flack and ended with a pose. I got another 9 out of 10 I was so happy!

I got changed for the rhythmical, I was so nervous my friend and me had to do a chuck & tuck, it's where I have to do a backflip while my friend chucks me in the air. It was our turn for rhythmical I was so nervous. We all got into our posies and off we went. It was time for the chuck & tuck, I just said that I was going to throw it, and after we did it I was so happy but I did land low. We did our ending and I felt so proud of myself.

That was day 1 of gym fest. I'm going to write another blog about the callbacks on day 2!  

Kawa of care :)

Kawa of care 😊

We have 30 minutes to complete our poster, but you may be wondering what is our poster about. Well it's about our kawa of care. There is 5 big thinks, but my friend and me did big think 3, that's about how we work on our chromebook.  The picture below shows it.

My Week 7

 Yay only 14 people in the class for a week. We had a week when the Yr 6s were on camp, I was excited for that week because I knew it was going to be fun with my teacher Koka Pip. 

My slides will tell you about my week...

14 Smooth Grooves

Smoothies

We created, we planned, we refined a little, and in the end it was delicious. Now would you like to know what Im talking about well Im talking about our SMOOTHIES!  We all had groups I was in a group with Dune my friend, our smoothie was called The Sweet DNA.

 I'll tell you our ingredients: Banana, coconut milk, hot chocolate powder, strawberries and ice. It might seem like a weird combination but it all tastes good in the end and at the end I'll tell you why.  Dune & me had to make a picture of what you think it would look like so we didi and we wrote the recipe for it too. It was super cool, but the thing I like the most was working together with Dune.

It was a competition so we tried to make ours the best. We also had to do videos while we were making it, it was really neracking. But we did it anyway! Dune decided to shake the ice while the lid was off so a bit off ice fell on the ground. Also we added a strawberry sauce and a strawberry accidently fell on the table but it was fine.

But in the end the sweet DNA won!!!!!

The End

The Boats

 The NZ Origami Zoom

The boats, we made them out of butcher paper, and scissors, oh and a lot of tape. My friend Kyla-rose & me were in a team we made a boat called "The NZ Origami Zoom" it's pretty cool. It was really fun too!

Firstly we made a origami boat and then rapped in heaps and heaps of tape .After Koka Pip thought ours was going to float. After we made it look good we were all ready to go but we had to wait for everyone else. Once everyone was ready we went to the pool and started the timer "go" said Archie we put our boat in. After like 2 seconds ours fell over. But a lot of peoples fell over too. 

The last 3 people were Archie, Bridie-Millie, and Arthur's but Arthurs fell so he was out. Then Archies fell so in the end Bridie and Millie won.

 
 

The Earthquake

The  Earthquake 

Thursday night the things in my room are shaking while I'm asleep what happens next?                                Friday morning the news and my family are all talking about what happened and what happened was an earthquake! I walk to school and I can already hear people talking about it. I get to school feeling so excited for House captains but nervous because of the earthquake.  

 Koka Rozie's phone had an alert she went to go check with Koka Nolian in her office to see what to do, but Koka Pip said when Koka Rozie comes back its time for House Captains.  As soon as Koka Rozie came back she said "line up in 2 lines" I got a little bit scared. So we lined up and went up to our meeting spot for emergencies and practices. The gates were open for us to start walking up the hill for a tsunami but luckily we didn't I was so relieved.

We went back to class and so we found out the house captains then got back to work. People started to get picked up from school for there own safety.  All of a sudden I heard my Dad I knew I was going home. So we went to pick up my sister and brother then we decided to go to my Mum & Dads work and from there I felt safe for the rest of the day.  

That was the Earthquake

So Far in T1

 So Far in Term 1

"So far, what has happened this year? Would you like to know?" Well Moana syndicate are walking our Pepeha.  Koka Ngaire, Koka Rozie and Koka Pip are really nice. We walked up Maungaroa with the whole Moana syndicate for our "walking our Pepeha". It's been so fun so far. 

We've walked our Pepeha which was really fun we went to Hamanatua 1st it was so fun. We all got to play, my friends and me made these really cool tunnels, there were three tunnels and they all led to the middle.  We could all touch each others hands. Then we walked back to school on the beach it was so nice to feel the sand in my toes.

 Then we went to Maungaroa it was such a steep walk and there was heaps of cow poop it was so disgusting but we made it to the top. I loved the view it was so beautiful. But when we walked back down we walk back to school on the beach and I found 3 bits of sea glass. We  got back to school and my legs were so sore the next day.                                                                                                                                                    Last but not least we went to Te Poho o Rawiri Marae. We got welcomed into the Marae, then Aunty Buba introduced everyone. After 2 people from Moana 1 and 2 people from Moana 2 had to a Hongi I was one of the people. Then Aunty Buba said some stories, then we learnt the mama panda song and the actions to it. After the mama panda song we sat down and there were more stories.                                 

So walking our Pepeha was really fun!  I'm so excited to see what comes next for this year. The teachers are so nice and my friends and so great. I love MLH so far.
