Matariki

                                Matariki

Bula Bloggers, Welcome back to my blog.

Yesterday my whole school and I did Matariki. We all did in our own classes.

Our first block!!!  Stop motion animation

Matariki or the seven sisters. The first thing we did was to partner up with a buddy my buddy was called Peitynn. Maybe I could add the video so all you guys can watch what we made! Anyways we made our characters out of clay and we made our background out of paper and coloured it in with Maori colours like red, black and white but we didn't colour it in white. Uhhh anyways again way off track. 

Then when it was ten fifty four we had to stop. To go to morning tea.

Now we are on the second block which was kite making!!

First we had to get a strip of paper and start making patterns on the different strips of paper. Then when we were finished we had to give to the students that had to glue it on the kite. And at the end there will be some really cool photos of it!!. Again off track after everyone's pattern was glued on the massive kite we put red and black feathers on it. Then we hung up on the walls or the roof. Then we finished at 12:56.

Then after lunch we did  FRY BREAD!!!! AKA SO SO YUMM.

The first thing we had to do was so obvious washing our hands to we don't put germs on the dough. It was super easy to make all you needed was water and self raising powder how easy is that. So much times now kinda off track. Then when we finished and came back from the toilet from washing our dirty hands but not mine. Then the teacher started pouring the self raising powder and water in and made dough. Then she split so we could have a turn rolling it with a rolling pin well it wasn't a rolling pin it was actually a glad wrap roll but don't tell her I wrote it on here! Then the teacher called our group up 

and we fried my favourite part was eating it was so so so yum and yes it deserves three so's okay. We could add butter , Nutella , jam and golden syrup. Then when we were finished we cleaned up all our mess and then it was super close to three o'clock. And that's all I got to say have a good weekend and goodbye!

Cross Country!!!🏃

                  CROSS COUNTRY!

On the 2 of July I did cross country with my whole school. It all started at 11:00. And you had to line up in your year group. I was in year 5. Then when the bell rang we all went to our station. The first station I went to was when you could go on the playground and you could play indoor house games like chess or jenga. My favourite game was jenga I had so much fun playing. Then after that the bell rang and when the bells rings you have to take your year chair and go to your next station.

 The next station we went to is tennis. Me and Airielle were partners for it. And let me tell you were so bad at it. It was such a total disaster. And so we moved to another place which was way more better because when other people hit their ball and our ball was running away from me it nearly hit my face. We only do the activity for like 20 minutes. When 20 minutes passed by so fast we had to get in the line really hard to do that.

 Then we moved to our next station which was DUN DUN DUNNNN  Blindfold challenge. Before we had to start we had to pick another partner boring. My partner was Chrystelle she was super nice when it was my turn. Anyways for the game you had to put a blindfold on in then your partner had to tell you to go left right forward to pick up the beanbags. Then we had to lead them back to the start and some got points if you did well. Then the bell rang and I was so happy because it was kinda boring sorry and I am telling the truth. 

Our next station was cheering then it would be the hardest thing of all of them the RUNNING and I was so lucky because they had to run last. Anyways way off track we started cheering for the year 4s. I saw my cousin run Valerie. And let me tell you I shouted with all my voice and I nearly threw my voice out of my house. Which means I nearly lost my voice. 

Then it was finally our turn and the boys got to go first which was mean. Then it started and I was so tired so fast. The year 5's and 6's had to run two times and I was so so tired of running then I was nearly there and I made it I came 6th place out of all of it. I was pretty happy with coming 6th place so now I don't have to go to zones which was really hard. Cause I have been there before. I actually thought I would maybe come 1st 2nd or 3rd. Here is some photos of when I struggled running. And there might be a photo of you too. Blog you later🙋🙋

     Some of my friends running too.

  My awesome STRONG FINISH .

                        Poem Recital 👌

Bonjour bloggers, Welcome back to my blog. 

Yesterday we did our poem recital. My poem was called My flat cat here is a link to it. We had 4 weeks to memorise it. And Luckily I memorised all of mine when it was my turn. I also did some actions but not much. If you did action you would get extra points. Anyways our  deputy principal Ms McGrath came to see our recital as it was part of our production audition. I was very nervous and excited at the same time too. And after we said our poem she would ask us an easy question. She would say what would your first reference be and your second one a role in production. I said minor or major roll. My favourite part of it was when it was all finished. I had butterflies in my stomach when it was my turn. I felt relieved after I finished my poem and sat down on the floor for the next person to go up. When everyone finished we went back into our own classes. Hope you liked the poem I linked to this blog post. Blog you later!🙋🙋🙋

Reading choiceboard

                   Reading choice board

Talofa lava bloggers, Welcome back to my blog. In school after we stopped doing choice board we started reading in our real reading classes. We have been doing all types of new activities that we haven't heard or done before like the poem called Black Brother by Joshua Iosefa. That was my favorite reading task. 

You had to write the whole poem that he said and I am only half way through it. 

Anyway in my reading class we have been reading this book called  Proud Blue. It was a very inspirational book to read. In our choice board I choose to do another task called read & respond. For this activity I had to read the book Proud Blue. Then after that I had to write what I liked about it what I didn't like and what I didn't understand about it. It was a like  four minute job which I liked.

 Here is a photo of the poem Black Brother and the story called Proud Blue Blog you later🙋🙋🙋
