Beach clean up!!

 Beach clean up!!

It's Enviro Action day today! I wonder what we're doing. If you don't know what action day is I will tell you.  Enviro Action day is where we do some action for our community, I like it because I do it with the class and my friends, also I just find it fun to do. Now for the story!

Dinnggg the bell went for school, I felt so excited. Koka Pip said we were going to the beach and we were going to pick up rubbish. We had to get into groups of 3, I was with my friend Lila and my other friend Betsy, we had to grab Lila's bucket for the rubbish to go in. We walked down to the beach and off we went.

I found out that it was a competition so I was excited! We walked from our beach that we normally go to, to the Surf Club, we found so much. Then we walked to the path under the bridge near Hamanatua and we found a bit of rubbish, so I was happy because it meant more rubbish in our bucket and Hamanatua was more clean. 

We walked back to school and we got a sheet, it was to check off how much rubbish we got. The group that I was in got quite a lot of rubbish. Then we put our rubbish into the right bin and we went to morning-tea. At the end of the day we found out who won, it wasn't our team,😒 but I was fine with that, I'm just happy we found heaps of rubbish!

That was our beach clean up!

Callbacks & day 2 of gym fest

 Callbacks/day 2 of gym fest

It was callbacks and if you don't know what callbacks it is when you get called back for something. We got a callback for our rhythmical and I got a callback for my beam too! 

I had to do my beam first. The man called my name for beam. Everyone went silent, I got on the beam and did my mount and off I went. Then I did my dismount, presented and I was done. I was so proud of myself because I was the only one at the gym club for an apparatus. We had to wait a little bit for our rhythmical but I was fine with that.

The man said WBS rhythmical we got in our posies and off we went. I felt good about the chuck and tuck. All of a sudden I realized it was time for the chuck and tuck. The chucker and me said... " Testing, testing 123 " and we went, it was so high. I felt super duper proud of myself for going out there and doing it.

That was the callback night of gym fest!

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!

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.
