TURBO TOUCK RUSH

In Te Ngahere we played Turbo Touch its kinda like Touch. It's like Touch except you can pass anywhere and you have to touch the other team with two hands. You also only have two touches before you need to hand the ball to the other team and if you drop the ball it is an automatic hand over. We had to jump into teams of 5 so that it was five on five. The first game me and my team (Jamie, Ben, Shay, Mikaire and Anthony) played we lost. What I did well was that I shared the ball.  What my team did well was cooperating

Have you ever play Turbo Touch before?

Enagize

In Te Ngahere Whaea Gina came to Paihia School to do some more energize with us. We really just did a recap to make sure that we were listening to the past couple lessons. We did all four of the different food groups. They are meat, grain, milk and veggies. Milk helps are bones stay strong and healthy. Grains gives us energy to keep us going. Meat gives us protein  which helps our muscles. Veggies gives us vitamins to keep our body healthy. After she left we made a DLO about what we were learning. I will use this learning to help make sure that i’m eating healthy. How many food groups are there. 

Hope you enjoy the DLO 

Bye.

Duffy Show

In Te Ngahere and at Paihia School some people came to perform a Duffy show. When we walked into the whare (were the show was) there was a guy playing his guitar and swing his  hair around. All the little kids started laughing. They did a show about a game called Magic Bricks and how they got stuck in the game and got out again. My favorite part was when they did a dance to get out of the game. I think they were trying to teach us  not to always play video games and play outside with your friends. My favorite part was when he fell off the blocks and landed on the ground because he made funny sound effects.

Has a duffy show ever came to your school before?

Ki O rahi Rush

In Te Ngahere some of the year 6s, 7s and 8s went to a ki o rahi tournament. We went to  Simpson park in Moerewa. We played three teams. We won 1 game and lost the other two. The first game we played were playing year 7 and 8s. We lost that game 21 to 1. The second game we  played we won 13 to 3. The last game we played we lost 16 to 2. I enjoyed getting to play and trying to rip other people's tags. What I could do better is not to chase so that I don’t get tired after the first run. Do you play ki o rahi?

Mathematics with coordinates

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about coordinates in math. We first learnt about  coordinates. Then we did a word problem about a banana cake. We had to plot down  coordinates that we were given. We had to draw a map of all the aisles for a supermarket but we could only use the coordinates that we were given. One of the coordinates were given are A1 to E1 so we would have to find those coordinates and connect them together by writing what they were(dairy,Meat or Fruit) along the boxs or colour code them. We had to do that with lots of other coordinates. I found the coordinates  hard because it was new learning for me and also I didn’t get it at first. I enjoyed drawing a supermarket using coordinates. When you are doing coordinates you always start with the x axis across then the y axis up. I think that coordinates are easy once you get the hang of it. Are coordinates easy for you?

Boat Safety

In Te Ngahere Tracy came to speak to us about being safe on a boat.
She said that there were five things that were really important when
you go on a boat. One is always wear a life jacket, two have a
waterproof phone or a emergency beacon, three Tell someone
where you are going and when you will be back, four Check the
weather and five put your safety first. Tracy also told us how to use
flares and all the different flares. What I learnt from that was to
always have an emergency beacon or waterproof phone. Now that
I know this I now know how to be safer on a boat. Did you know
this already?

STEAM CHALLENGE

In Te Ngahere we did a steam challenge. Our challenge was to build a free standing paper tower out of 2 pieces of newspaper and 30 cm of tape. Building the tower was hard because while we were building it the base wasn’t staying together but in the end it stood up. What I did well was not getting the tape mixed up. What I could do better is talk to my group more because I wasn’t really talking to my group. What worked well was that our tower could stand 1m high. I think that the base made it taller because it was wider and able to hold it up high.
