Maromaku

Last week on Friday we had Maromaku. Some kids from Paihia School attended this fun event and played either rugby or netball to represent our school. I attended this event and played rugby. Some people bought money because there was a sausage sizzle and many other yummy foods that you could buy. This was a very fun and action packed event.

Waitangi Walk

Last week on Tuesday Paihia School walked to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds.  We walked to the Treaty Grounds because Matariki was coming up. We played some very fun games made some cool Manu Aute and even planted some plants. During one of the games you had to have a rope and one of the helpers would say Maui ( right, ) Matau ( left ) and Ki waenganui ( middle, ) and that’s where you had to jump, (that was my favorite activity.) I had heaps of fun!!!

Fidget Spinner Art

Last week we made some really cool Fidget Spinner art. We got to design what it looked like, we used A3 paper to draw our Fidget Spinners and had to use all the space.  Te Maunga had also come into our class to design their own Fidgets Spinners as well.  After we drew our Fidget Spinner with pencil we got to color with crayon and then dye it. We then let them dry and we were done. It was so much fun!!!

Ice Cream

On Friday ( week 7, ) Te Ngahere got to make Ice Cream!!! The teachers of Te Ngahere said that if all the students finished their learning plans they could make Ice cream, and we all finished. Before we made Ice cream we read two stories and answered questions. We had to have buddies, my buddy was Cheyenne. Ater we were done mixing everything Brodi and Alexis ( they were the helpers, ) took the Ice cream into the freezer to freeze. We had to wait a little while but then we got to eat our yummy class made Ice Cream ( it was delicious. )  Making Ice Cream was SO cool!!!

Xtramath

In my class we use a tab called Xtramath it tests us of what we know and need to know in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It asks you questions and if you answer then in less than three seconds you get it correct, and if you don’t get it within that time then they will ask you it more and more until you get it.

Here is a picture of my Xtramath evidence.

Two weeks ago we went down to the beach to do something called surf life saving there were three instructors Sam, Toobs and Liam. We did some really fun games/activities. Come to the end of the day we got boogie boards and red tubes to play with in the water. I really enjoyed that day and would love to do it again.

Beach Clean Up

On Friday the whole school went on a beach clean, there was much more rubbish than I expected ( well not that I expected there to be nothing.)  I learnt that people will just walk and drop their rubbish, say they have finished a cigarette they will just drop it or throw it, say on the ground, in a hole or on the beach. Also some rubbish such  as plastic bags and drink bottles will kill our sea life.
