This week me, Nyah and Thea have been working on a fitness slide to tell people why exercise is important and why you should at least do some fitness or any type of workout a day. We also made to help people who haven’t done or don’t know what fitness is. Here are some starter ideas to help you with fitness. I hope it helps.

Within the last 2 terms each class had been working on something to perform in term 4 week 3, I am not performing but, I did kind of help with making signs.

Our theme was Diwali, my class was put into groups, the 1st group was working on making posters, the 2nd group was working on diyas

I was put in the protest group, I didn’t make a full sign, so I did this prerecorded audio, so then on the night before each performance they would listen, to 5 audios.

Before, the actual performance the whole school created the number 10, at the  back of the school, each class would run to their part of either the one or zero, and then when all the classes are in their spot this drone would come and take a photo of us waving, and then after that we would all run in different directions.

I showed resilience by not giving up on my prerecorded audio, because I kept on mucking up

On Monday my class didn’t really do anything because it was raining so we just chilled for the day. On Tuesday Sharon took a group of people to Avonside girls and Shirley boys high for a mama Mia production. It was so fun to watch but it was also really long. At the end of it a girl and boy got married I was hoping they would kiss but they didn’t they just hugged. On Wednesday there was a disco for the year 1,2,3,4, and 6, the year 7&8s couldn’t go because they had to help set up. I didn’t help because I put my name for interested and not a proper job. On Thursday I had tech it was last day and I made wedegs it was so fun to make but the sad thing is, is that I burned my hand because I touched the burning hot pan. On Friday I had a assembly I was actually interested because I liked how this girl Maddie was singing she was so good.

This week I was away Monday and Tuesday but I was here the rest of the week.  On Wednesday after school I had tohonno, tohonno is a thing a thing I do for kapa haka, and at the end of the year I perform it.

Today I have winter sport and the sport I chose to do that is kio-rahi, I am really excited to play because last year I couldn’t because only the year 7&8s could.

Every week for literacy Mr Redmond gives everyone a Google doc with word activities and we have to finnish by Thursday or Friday.

My goal I am setting for next week is trying harder in tohonno and participating more.

For action station I chose to do bone carving.  I chose to make a Koru spiral.  I was originally making it for Maniya,  but when I went to go check on it, it was broken so I couldn’t make it and give it to her.  I made the Koru spiral out of clay. I had to make it quickly or else it would dry fast. It took me a few times to make it because sometimes I didn’t have the clay long enough.  I enjoyed playing with the clay because it was so fidgety and and fun to play with.  I found getting the right shape hard but I saw a lot of people doing it easily. The changes Sharon can make next time are,  making us practice for one whole session then the next week we could actually try making the real one.

Today I did duo-lingo and I chose to learn Chinese, I really enjoy doing it, I even do it at home. One thing that I don’t want to happen is I don’t want to loose my 30 day steak I have.

Today for my Mahi-A-Tahi I did a duolingo, I chose you learn Chinese, some words I learnt were ‘Shui that means water in Chinese  another word is mifan that means rice in Chinese and the last word is tang that means soup in chinese. I really enjoy doing duolingo. At home I do it and I have a 21 day streak of doing it and I am trying not to lose it so i do it every day.

This week a few things I enjoyed doing was kapa haka, I do kapa haka every week on Thursday. And I really enjoy doing that. Another thing I like doing is playing dodgeball every week I have to get three mahi- a – tahi to play dodgeball on Wednesday and 5 points to play on Friday. I also really enjoy. And the last thing I enjoyed was tech every week on Thursday I go to tech, for tech I do sowing. I was so happy yesterday because I finally finished making my pillow. One thing that I don’t like but I think is funny is when me and Mr Redmond tease each other. I call him Mrs nerdy, and he calls me We’s ( short for Were’s Harper?) 🙄

My goal for next week is to make an easter basket next week for tech

Today in math’s we gathered data and used Google sheets to make a column graph.  Our topic was preferred drinks and our variable was gender.

The features of my graph are, the titles that tell you what the graph/topic is about.

From the graph I noticed That only two boys chose fizzy and no girls chose fizzy. I also noticed that seven boys and seven girls chose juice.

This week I really enjoyed doing surfing on Monday, on Wednesday I did office duty with Layla we really enjoy doing that. I also  like doing dodgeball. Every week I have to get 3-5 points for my Mahi-A-Tahi. And since I got three points I got to play dodgeball on Wednesday. The last thing I like doing is tech, every Thursday I go on a bus to tech. My activity I do is sowing. Lately I have been making a pillow. I am making my pillow for my mum. few things I found difficult were trying not to fall off my surf board and another thing I found difficult was trying to make my bone carving, without my clay breaking.

My goal for next week is trying not to fall off my surf board and trying to get my balance. And I am going to try and finish my pillow for tech so I can show my mum.!
