 rhythmical blog post 

Yay its time for rhythmical. I ran out side for morning and rhythmic. Rhythmic is a type of dance you do when you perform at the gym fest . Every morning and some lunch times we do rhythmic training with a lady called Jacks a kid at our schools mum. The first couple days we went to training we learnt the whole dance now we are just learn some gym moves to put in the dance.

yesterday me and my friend Aria tried doing a new move witch was going well at first but then turned the other way. She fell on her head. Aria was sick the next day and I was sick for the whole rest of the week and also on monday so we could not practice our move. I was back on tuesday and she is now more confident to do it so we are going to keep practising until we get it. Me and Aria are practising our chuck and tuck witch is a backflip but they person that is tucking get to put there foot on the other person hand and we both think that we are going to do it today.

When I was sick at home my mum told me that on friday the rhythmical team is going to the gym club to practice our routine there so we now how big it is for the day. The gym fest is in a week so we really need to practice Even though we are nearly done we still need to practise. Today we have rhythmical and I am super exited because I have missed couple practises.  But I am really exited still.

 Little blue penguin life cycle 

Yesterday me and my writing  group got given a task to make a blue penguin life cycle. Me and my friend betsy worked together but we just could not work on the same chromebook because we had to make our own. you could choose to do in on a doc,slides or paper. me and betsy choose to do it on a doc so you could digitally put the pictures in without needing to draw them. We got right to work. For some reason it was easier then I thought it was going to be because we just put in a few pictures and write a little bit under them. Before we new it we were done. The pictures had to be of an egg,little penguin, penguin molting,penguin going out to sea and a adult penguin.

This is my slides in the link beside the wrting.  penguin life cycle

My blog post about my learning

 Kawa of care

Yesterday koka rozie told as to get into our buz groups because we were doing a thing called the big think posters. Each buz group had one minute of each big think poster, there is 6 big think posters all together. When we had finished all the big think posters whatever paper you had at the end one person in each buz group read out the thing that they agreed with most.

 The next day we keeped working on the big think posters but not with our buz groups because we got to pick a buddy to work with so I chose Betsy. The big think poster that me and Betsy choose was how to hold a chromebook. It seemed easy at first but then the teachers told us that we are only allowed to have 30 minutes to do our whole slide. The timer started and we got to work. We first choose the background colour, did the picture and then last but not least we did the text boxes and showed the teachers.

The big think poster that we did is going to be linked to our task tracker so we did it our best so we could sign it of our best. These are our slides down below they are about how to hold your chromebook without dropping it and casing damage.

The one and only scariest Friday of my life

 The scary Friday 

Waking up from a screeching sound, put a shock on my face! I was so scared to find out what the sound ment. I jump out of bed with a scared look on my face, I ran out the door to find my dad he looked shocked but he already knew what is was. A 7.4 earthquake. I couldn't  believe my eyes. Since it was a school day we always go to my mum's place at 7.00am in the morning. I was so scared, anyway when my brother and I got to Mum's place we right away wanted to tell her that we didn't wake up, when we told her she was kind of surprised and started laughing but I really didn't know why. She told me that they had to evacuate because they lived so close to the water that if there was a tsunami it could of hit us. 

Time to go to school

We hopped in the car with a scared look on our face because we thought that we would have to evacuate and walk up the hill. I got to school, the morning went way faster than it usually does and that made me even more scared. Ding Ding the bell rang, that meant we had to come in side. Today I was really excited because we got to find out who house caption's are. We started the day of with a karakia then the teacher made us breath in, then breathe out, then breath in, and breathe out just so we could relax.  Koka Ngaire    made us a video of who the house caption's are and one of them was my friend Betsy, she is in Mango and she was super happy. 

Before we even got to look at the whole video an alarm on Koka Rozie's phone went off, some people were so scared that the even started crying. Koka Rozie had to go check with Koka Nolian if it was real and if we had to go line up and it was real. Koka Pip made us go line up on the deck and walked up to our posts where the teacher counted all the kids. Luckily all the kids were there and Koka Nolian told us that it was just a drill and she just needed to tell us something so we went back to class to carry on with our work.

So we came back in to class and all the scared looks were wiped of our faces. The teachers decided to just let us do some work on our chromebooks. Then my mum and nana picked me up and took me home. As we started to arrive at home I was starting to get  really scared that I started crying. My whole family was so scared when they were watching the news. On the news we were watching the  tsunami up the coast. Me and my brother Jack were super scared that we just wouldn't stop crying. So we decided to go play outside. Even though I am still super scerd I am very happy that me and my family is safe.

 The one and only greatest swimming sport's

Dingggggg my alarm clock rang and I ran out to the lounge were all my gear for swimming sports. I was so excited to just dive into the warm swimming pool. I hopped into togg's and then got my clothes on over top. I was so excited I just wanted to do flips onto the couch. For breakfast I had weetbix and toast so I did not need to eat before my race. After I had breakfast I put my focest face on, hopped into the car and drove to school. The teacher's said that we had to meet them in the hall at 8.15. I got ready put my bag away and sing in. 

Driving to swimming sport's   

Me and my friend's meet in the hall at 8.15 so that the teacher's could put us into car's. I was with Charlotte's mum in the car was Me,Aria,Lola and charlotte. We put our seet belt's on started up the car and drove away. All I was thinking about was my race I am doing two lenth's freestyle for some reason I was super scared that I was going to false start. As we drove past the ice-cream shop all we saw was about 50 old people at the ice-cream shop it was so funny. We had to park outside of the ice-cream place because the car park was all ready so fill. as we were walking in we meet my mum there and walked in with her.

Time For Racing 

I walked in with a weird look on my face it was like I was excited but nervous at the same time to me it looked pretty weird 🤪.  There was not long until the atchill racing started it went the year 6 first then year 5 then year 4 i was in year 5 and my brother was in year 4. I got called up for my race I was supernervouss I got my goggles and went to line up my mum was the timekeeper of my lane so she kepped me comperne. Yay I Said too myself as I went to go stand on the block it felt like i was waiting in line forever . The whistle went and I dived into the pool. I have to be careful because I new that it was two lenth's so I had to take breath's quite a lot. Yay the race is over and I got second in my heat I was super proud of myself. Later on the day I just had to find out that I missed out from being in the finals by point 10 of a second. I was so gutted when I found out that I was not I the finals but you will never know I could always be in the finals next year❤️ 

When everything was over and done with my mum decided to just take us home so that means that we did not need to go back to school. On the way home me and my brother kept begging mum to stop and get as a treat and lucky enuf we begged her so much that she said yes so we got a ice-cream. I was so happy.

The Berry breeze smoothie

 Berry breeze

I came to school with a smile on my face because I new it was going to a amazing day because we are making smoothies. My class was making the smoothies at school because we were have a fun week at school because the year sixes were not here. I was in a team of 3 with by friend Betsy,Zoe and me. We each had to bring thing's for the smoothie I was bringing ice-cube's, cup's, blueberries and blackberries. Our smoothie's that we were making is going to be a berry smoothie but there was one thing that made it taste not us good as we thought it was going to taste. The teacher was going to film us making it and we only got 5 minutes.

There were 5 team's in the comp and we were one of them. We were going to get filmed second a team could the sweet DNA was going first. Yay it is finally our tern to make our smoothie's we were nervous because they did super good. We slowly and carefully brang our fruit platter with all our stuff on it over to the table were she filmed us, one thing that made me super nervus was that everyone was watching us. Click koka pip started the video we had a whiteboard behind us with what we were going to have two say on it. First we explained who we are then I was the first person to talk I read out all the thing equipment that we needed. Zoe read out half of the ingredients and Betsy read the other half of them.

It was time to read out the step's we each had a tern I read the first one out then did what it said then the second then the third and it kept going and going until we were up to the pouring part. We had to stop the video so that we did not need to pour it in the video. Betsy was on the pouring we each got half a glass of smoothie each. I had one sip of it and knew something was wrong with it and right away I knew that we had put way to much cinnamon from my taste buds I did not like it but you never know one of the judge's might think different.

The day has gone so fast it was nearly lunchtime and we knew what that meant it was time for the koka Nolian and koka Margo to juge. When we were at lunch koka Margo and then after lunch koka Nolan judged. I had a suspicion that koka Nolian would not like it but I would never know. It was time for them to tell us what place we got and yup I was right about koka nolian but at least koka margo did not put us in last. But over all at least we had FUN.  

  

 

Our boat

 The boat

Yesterday Koka Pip told us to find a buddy because we were making boat only out of 2 thing butcher paper and tape and lucky we got to work with scissors as well. I was in a team with my friend Betsy we were planing to make the NZ boat but it was very hard. First koka Pip got us a big roll of paper and if we wanted so we had to go cut some of it. Since it was our first time getting a piece of paper we decided to get a lot. each team started of with one roll of tape each and us much paper us we wanted. There was one rule it had to be 20 cm or longer otherwise we would get disqualified.

The first thing we did was to start the boat of was make a the easy little details like the sail's and the hydrophile and left the bottom of the boa for last. For us to know which way we were going to make the sail's and the other thing's me and Betsy both did the way that we wanted then at the end we would see whos was better. And that is what we did to all the pieces until we got to the end it was the hardest part the bottom. The bottom was the hardest for us because we had to put tape on all of it so it could help it float. Me and Betsy both made one side of the boat each and then cut them so they could be the same size. Then we taped them both together then taped all the sail's and other things on.

The next day early before school started I took some thing's of and replaced them with better thing the a platform so it was more steady.  Later on that day we tested out the boat's we knew that ours was just going to fall over and fill up with water. We went to line up outside of the pool with our boat's. I lined up at the end of the pool getting ready to put my boat in the water 3,2,1 we put our boat in the water and yes we were right it fell right over and filled up with water but it did not sink. But overall it was super fun to make it was a good day.

 

Horu Hopu

 Horu Hopu

On Wednesday, I arrived to school at 7.45am in the morning with a smile on my face.  I was so excited for today! We had a Horu Hopu tournament out at Patutahi. I met my teacher in the hall at 7.50 so we could leave at 8.00. My friend Betsy's mum was taking me, Betsy, Prince and the teacher.  On the way there Betsy's little brother Amos was singing this really funny song and we were all laughing at it. 

 Getting started

Once we got out of the cars, Koka Rozie gathered us to talk about our exciting day ahead of us.  She encouraged us to try our best and have a positive attitude and to have lots of fun! Our first game was playing Manutuke. We were very nervous but also very excited! We lost the game but I think we learnt heaps and worked well as a team. We walk but over to where to were we put our bags before the game started. We were kind of board and there were lots of acorn's on the ground so we started making a big pile of peled acorns.

Before we knew it, it was our second game and we were playing St Mary's . I was looking ford to this game a bit more then the first game because we learnt quite a lot from the first game. In between our first and our second we had a 25 minute break so we practiced our passing skills. We hoped on the field that we were playing on  and got into our position. And the passing skills were worth it because we one but we sadly lost the next game.

This time in between the game's it was an hour so in that time we peled more acorn's and we practiced more of our passing until it was our next game. Agin the time in between went super fast so it was already time for our next game and we are playing Hobin school and they had all different aged people so it was a bit confusing. We hoped on the field and got into our positions. And again the passing skills were worth in because dan da ra ra we one our last game.

At the end of the day we packed and then went to the front so we could have a end of day karakai and then we hoped back in the car's. On the way back to school we begged Betsys, Mum for an ice-cream on the way back to school maybe but then we ended up not getting one. When we got back to school everyone ask us were we had been and we just said no were.
