Number L3
Today we had Number L3 it was so fun. We were doing a square and house path. It was so fun, my friend Lila and my friend Zoe and me were all helping each other. Here's a picture of my Maths Evidence slide for our Square and house path!!
Athletics!!
I was so so nervous for athletics we only had one practice and it was on the second week the actual athletics. The day had come I got a green colour top on cause that's my house colour, then I got some green paint on my face. Once the day started the athletics started.
We started out with ball throw. It was my turn I didn't do very well so I don't know what place I came. Then it was long jump I like long and the only reason I'm ok at it is because of vault at the gymnastics club, you run up and jump!
Then it was sprints, I am good at sprints so I was in the third heat and if you had a star on your hand you were fast and I had that. On your marks get set go I start running I was coming in first and in the end I did come first!Then it was the finals Go! I start running and my super fast friend Betsy won but I came second.Next was high jump!
We all started with a meter high wich was hard for me but I made it then it got higher and higher. Then one of the teachers that were running high jump said that Betsy and Me came first equail and my other friend Lola.S came third. After 200m GO! I started sprinting and India my friend was just in front of me then I went faster and her and me tied 1st.Then for the finals India and me tied again but we were 3rd.
That was the amazing Athletics I had an amazing day !!
Hamanatua Walk
On Tuesday MLH went on a big big walk to the end of Hamanatua (well that's what we think).There was so many cute young animals but the walk was fun we had to stay in a single filem the entire time but that didn't happen most of the time. So I will tell you about that walk.
First we had to cross a river Koka Rozie went first she just went over it like it was nothing but that didn't happen for me. There was some type of log thing so I jumped over that but when it came to one of the boys it was kinda funny one of the boys fell all the way in I felt bad but it was so funny.
Then we had the walk, we got about half way and we stopped off at this really cool tree there were so many sitting spots. We were eating our food at the tree and 4 wasps started to fly around my friend Zoe so we moved. Then we kept walking we got to this clay type of thing it made the shoes so heavy.
We got to the end of the stream we think we saw so so many ducklings they were all so cute. We saw them swimming then we walked back. The walk back felt so much quicker then on the way there. On the way back from the stream we went past the first bit of the stream like we did at the start and this time it wasn't the boy that did it first but it was another boy.
He feel on his bottom and just stayed in there because he had fallen so much on the trip. Then we walked back to school and we got to play for about 20 minutes. It was home time and we got GREEN GOLD for an enviroschool that is a really good colour. We went home and that was the Hamanatua walk.
Here's the tree that I was talking about:
The Amazing Jean Batten Day
Last week our class learnt about this amazing New Zealander called Jean Batten. We were all in our buzz groups and we had to find out some things about her of her cat, but I'm telling you about the day that we did on Tuesday. We did so many things so I will tell you about my favourite things I did.
The first thing I loved was making paper planes. The reason we did that was because Jean Batten is a flyer she was the first lady to fly from England to New Zealand. So we got given a sheet of paper that would say Moth or Gull (those are 2 types of planes that she tried) so we made those planes with the sheet and instructions. I had the moth I found it really hard to make. After that we went to 3 stations and in the end the Gull paper plane was the best for flying. Making it was so fun though.
Next the fun Mayday bit. So we were in groups and in the group that I was in we had 5 people that means that we only got 4 Mayday sheets. We had to try to get to the finish line before the other team and if you feel off your whole team would have to go back to the start that happened once in our team. Our last player was the last on the mayday sheets he jumped and landed the littlest bit away from the line and we bet 3:16 seconds we got 2:57 seconds so we came first because our teachers let us have the win. We were so happy it was fun too.
Those were my favourites but there was still so many more fun ones.
Story Starters
Story Starters are some type of sentences. Some of them are crazy and you can just make up your own story, it is so cool. Most of the time I make up story but other times I don't like...
Once I did one about " there was smoke everywhere". That one was true. I was on the tramp flipping around and dad started the fire in the fireplace. The smoke was everywhere. There was another SS that was not true but I liked it because it was my best story yet. SS 's are fun!
There is a few rules like no guts,blood,guns, and aliens. But I don't like to write about things like that so I knew I would follow the rules. Otherwise there are none other rules so I was free to write. The teachers say we should try write at least 3 paragraphs in between the introduction and conclusion.
Story Starters make you feel so creative like you can write anything and there is no limits. It feels amazing. Koka Pip made a few more so we didn't have to keep going over the same SS.
I love Story Starters, writing is so much more fun with story Starters.
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!
