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.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

                                                                     THE END

The Super trip to Mangone Station ( The Wetlands )

The Super trip to Mangone Station ( The Wetlands )

On monday Honu and the enviro group went on a trip to the Mangone Station ( The Wetlands ). First we went into the wool shed to put our bags down. Second went to the lamb shed we were in the lamb shed for about 10 mins.

Then we started gardening, I was in a group with my friends. We had to look for the plants first. We found the first plant that we mulched. My friends and me did about 7 plants before we went to mulch duty. Mulch duty means we had to fill up the bags and buckets ups. My friends and me did that really fun job for about 30 mins.

My friends and me went over to the other side of the pond and had to mulch 2 other plants.
