Reading week 3

Hi welcome back to my blog and this week my reading goal has been Identify at least one important idea and justify why it is important. For my reading task we had to read a country profile about Papua New Guinea, then we had to choose an important idea and make a poster or pair about Papua New Guinea. We also had to explain why we think the idea is important, I also did my reading task with my two friend's Isabella and Eilish. This is my google drawing.

That was my google drawing, do you know any fun facts about countries?

TOP TEAM!!

On Friday,  the year 5/6 and 7/8 were lucky enough to take part in a fun organisation called top team. During the games I was in A team with Max Martin, Grace Ngariki, Zoe Newdick, Cooper, Tu, Ebony and me!  There were thirteen activities and the first one we did was called sack race. The aim to play sack race is that we have to hop into a sack and jump like a bunny to one of the cones and back, each lap we did scores us 5 points. We got 20 points for four laps and in each activity you have to earn as many points you can my team got 368 points in total.

The last activity we did was called water bus. we all were so glad it was the last because it was so hot like 27 degrees, So the aim to the game water bus is to see which team can fill each bucket the fastest. So we all got soaked obviously, but some of us did it on purpose. we were all so relieved because the water was so nice and cold. then we all had to get changed into our spare clothes (Mufti) and that was how my school top team went.

Have you ever done top team before? 

Trip to the museum

On the 16th of September tumu hub went to a Museum, we were there for the whole school day and everything we saw there was very beautiful and interesting. We heard a story about this Maori Green stone keeper and a Sandstone keeping about how they always used to fight each other and the Green stone keeper fell in love. So then Anthony gave us some time to have a look around in the room we were in and it showed the flightless bird and some people from 500 or 400 years ago catching them and cooking them. after we went into another part of the museum, and this time Anthony explained to us how the Maori language was never a written language but just an oral language. After he explained he let us examine the room we were in, Then he took us to this cool room where we got to do some activities like trying to start a fire with tool that the people used 500 or 600 years ago and the axe and some more!!  Please check out the photos of the Museum down bellow. 

After learning new things about the Maori culture we got to look around the museum and watch a mini movie.

What things do you know about the Maori Culture?

O Le Malaga Fa'a'atua- The Journey Of The Gods

This morning, My hub and the kaupeka hub watched a play. It was called O Le Malaga Fa'A'atua or in English translation The Journey Of The Gods. The actors that did the play for us were Thalia, Jake, and Manu. The story is about an eel that turned into a coconut tree, Involving the most famous...MAUI. It was very funny and definitely a memory im pretty sure the whole tumu and kaupeka hub won't forget. Sadly we don't have any photos of the play because no photos were allowed to be taken, I'd like to give Thalia, Jake, and Manu a rally big thanks for coming to St Francis Of Assisi school and performing your play. I really enjoyed it and loved the part of where you were all making fun of Maui.

If you have seen them come to your school, what would your favourite part be?

Winter Sports

 This year during the term we have been doing winter sports on Thursdays . 

The winter sports I do is Hockey, with my team players Benjamin, Charlie G, Lily F, Dakota, Oliver, Jack, Samantha, Gianna, and Me! We are the hockey A team aka The Cheetahs. My team won every hockey game we have played but we had a draw with Hillview school and we lost one game to,  I'm thinking their name was Selwyn house. We lost by 9-8,oh right Charlie was not able to play with us during our game because he offered to play for the Hockey b team but anyways at least during our game we tried. This year I improved on my Passes and on my defence during our games. we versed b teams half the season but then we started going up into higher groups like other hockey A teams.

Fun with LEGO!

Yesterday on Monday, my hub and I created cars, a bridge and the tallest tower with Lego. for the cars we had to see how far it would go using a ramp everyone's turned out good, next we went to build a bridge. We would make a bridge to see if it was stable enough to have a book on it I built a bridge with my two friends Gianna and Samantha. Our's was stable to balance between the two tables we used but not balanced enough to have a book on it. Last but not least, The tallest tower. This Lego creation wasn't too hard just the making it tall. Again I did it with my friends Gianna and Samantha, At the end we all had fun this is the end of my blog, Please help yourself to see the photos I have down below

 Which Lego creation would you want to build?
 The car, Bridge or The Tallest tower.
