marshmallow challenge

Ramere 29 whiringa-a rangi

Good morning,

Today we tested our teamwork skills by trying the spaghetti and marshmallow challenge when we build a building as high as we could with spaghetti.  My group had Cameron William Jay and me.  We didn't do well and what I mean by we didn't do well is that it went under where started so didnt do to well we ended up being negative cm.

Yesterday was also a interesting day the road show came to our school and performed for us.  It was very interesting the stuff you learn about science.  To sum it up it was son interesting and cool.

I didn't like planting at mohiki gardens because I am not the a big fan of planting. I just don't like it that much but I did like that all of my friends were doing it too.   

What I am looking forward to

My highlight of my week was learning about maori myths and legends some were very interesting and cool and I learned a lot.  And there are some cool myths.

Something I am looking forward to is athletics.  I am excited for sprints discus and shotput but I am not looking forward is high jump and long jump two things I hate about athletics.

My thoughts on the production I thought it was very cool and funny and would of been fun to do I thought everyones acting was amazing especially luka's acting. It was amazing.

Hello everyone,

For the last couple weeks we have been doing financial literacy.  My group is doing waffles and milkshakes.  We are selling milkshakes for 1.99 and waffles 2.50.  We have sorted what it is going to cost and what cost we are selling it for and logos.

This week as been pretty cool but the most exciting bit of everyone's wee was when we won the pizza on Monday because everyone brought in their forms for the spellathon.  And if that wasn't your most exciting part of your week it would probably be playing twister that was very uncomfortable at times of the most exciting part of the week was the beautiful welcome ceremony where the school welcomed all the new families.

This week at winter sport we versed St Francis of Assisi.  I was halfback as normally I made quite a bit of tackles and set up tries.  We tied 4-4.

Hers are some photos of the amazing week

This week was a very cool week here are our photos

Weekly update week 8

Friday 21 Pipiri

Hello everyone,

Today is a is Sparkle day!!!  Sparkle day is when everyone (not everyone) dresses up in sparkly clothes and be as kind as they can.  It is a fun day for most because everyone sings to 'Get your sparkle on' music off barbie.  I can't wait for assembly. 

Another thing that I can't wait for is the Investec Super Rugby quarter final between The mighty Crusaders and the boring Highlanders (a warning for the Highlander fans you might need tissues!) Sorry for being mean Highlander fans.  But it will be a tough game because the Highlanders have their Smiths back.  Go the Crusaders!!!

Hello,

This week I have enjoyed the Black caps v  India World Cup cricket game but it got rained off which was very sad but at least the Black caps are top of the table.


 The one thing I need to work on is schoolwork because I have only been here one day and I liked working on our inquiry.


I did not learn much because I was only here one day but in Fiji I learnt some Fijian like how to say hello and how to say thank you and how to say ssh.

Hello everyone,

This week was very fun!!  Yesterday we did our 2nd week of winter sport. Our rugby team won both of our 2 games we bet st martians 4-0 and bet addington 5-4.  They were both great sides and they were hard to bet.  We have had 4 games and we have won all of them.

This week we finished of our action plan and did a stop motion to convince people to stop littering and killing eels.  I did it with Xander,Martin,William.


Another thing we finished of this week was our Mary slideshow where we learned about all the major events in Mary's life.

Kia ora everyone happy pink shirt day,

This week we had many fun things and one of them for me was winter sport where we had a choice of rugby, soccer, netball and hockey.  My choice out of the four was rugby.  I chose rugby because it is my favourite winter sport and I play it on Saturdays.  Our team had 2 games of rapid rugby.  It is rugby with no line outs, no scrums and a smaller field and less time.  We had 2 games of that one against St Francis of Assisi and West Spreydon.  We ended up the day with one close win and a win that we smashed up in.

Another cool thing for me was finishing of our plan to save the eels.  My group did a stop motion and took a long time to plan and get what we need we did the stop motion to stop pollution.  It was a fun process and in the end it was fun to make. 

Today is Pink Shirt Day!!  Pink Shirt day is to encourage anti-bullying.  Everybody dresses up in pink and this day was created by a boy who got bullied for wearing pink.  It is a fun day.

Friday 10 may

Good afternoon,

Welcome to term 2!  This week we have had cross country Catholic sports tournament cross country was very fun and very exciting day.  The year 5/6 race was 2.4km it was very long and hard run.  The highlight for me was it was really fun to watch and race.  the lowlight for me that it was really scary at the start.

Another great thing about this week we did was Catholic sports tournament. I decided to try soccer.  We had 7 10 minute games we tied 1 and lose 6 and only scored one goal the whole tournament but on the upside it was really fun to play in.

Friday 12 April

This term we did a lot of cool things like korfball and caritas challenge day to name a few but here is my favorites and why.

 One of my favorite things this year was korfball.  It is netball and basketball combined it was really fun trying to make big shots and doing good defence.

Another cool thing about this term was swimming sports.  A lot of people went to zones and got even further they made it to Canterbury swimming sports.  It was very fun swimming against my mates at something I am average at.

Something else I mentioned in the introduction was caritas challenge day it was when we pretended we were in South Sudan we built cardboard houses and we ate rice.

Something we only finished yesterday was cycle safety.  Cycle safety is when a group of instructors thought a group of people the road rules.  We went on road and played lots of cool games I enjoyed it very much.

What I am looking forward to next term is winter sport were I will be playing one of my favorite sports rugby union(tackle) and hopefully make it to Canterbury rugby competition.

   

Caritas challenge

Friday 5 April

Hello everyone,

Hello. We did a refugee day. We made houses out of cardboard and we had rice for lunch.  The highlight of the day for me was making houses out of cardboard. It was a lot of fun apart from the wind coming halfway through making houses and it started to get really frustrating.  An interesting part about making the houses is that its harder than it looks.
