Under The Wires

 On an unexpected Wednesday all the seniors saw the teachers wearing make up when we finally got into the classroom in Wietemata and Hauraki there were string on top of the surface we have been given our rubber, pencil, pen and art book where we did all our work in that day we also had and basic facts test we did it while the teachers (Mrs Jones) played  a gun shooting sound. And if our heads touch the string or go over it the teacher will shoot us with a Nerf gun and when we stood up to go to morning tea and lunch our legs felt amazing anyway it was a hard fun day. BYE

Well being with Ms McGrath

So what I mean by well being is we all (year 5's) talked about the well being survey from last term we talked about each section and what they mean. It was to give us an idea of what's happening this Friday PINK SHIRT DAY!

 It was to always remember to show kindness. Anyway we did some fun compliment activities one of them (my favourite one) was the compliment circle. So everyone had to stand in a circle and Ms McGrath started it off by saying a compliment to someone then sit down and the person she said the compliment too had to say a compliment to someone other than the person who already gave a compliment then they sit down. I think it was a game of kindness because when you say a compliment to someone you smile and they smile even bigger you can almost see their teeth. 

 We did some other games the games were Musical gratitude and making a compliment fortune teller.  I'll tell you the compliment I got "Every time there is something new to do I always try it out", I gave Koleka a compliment I said "Thank you for helping me spell hard words".

 It was a fun morning but also quite educational when we were learning the meaning of kindness and talking about well being.  I felt amazing giving a compliment. BYE👋

Swimming

Since week 1 term 2 the seniors and middle school have been swimming at Cameron Pools on Tuesday and Thursday. The seniors got
buddied up with a class to go to Cameron Pools in the bus together. At the pool the middles and the seniors split. The middles went into the Nan's pool and the seniors went into the big and quite deep pool. We use boards or no boards. Each time we swam down the lane in a different style of swimming. My swimming coach is really nice to my group. Swimming at Cameron pools is really fun. Something that I would like to achieve would be me free style and my mermaid swim. Some of the styles of swimming we did were free style, stream line, dolphin dive, mermaid swim and others. I love Cameron Pools. I hope you love swimming as well. Thank you for looking at my blog post. If you had any more free time could you please look my other posts or maybe even post a comment. Blog you later.

                      The ANZAC Adventure

Can you spot how many times I said ANZAC starting from reading this sentence I’ll give you hints. YESSS! On monday was my exploring day oh and by monday I mean week 1 monday in the school holidays. but thats not the point.

 So where we went was something to do with non other than ANZAC day. We did it to commemorate with ANZAC day.  We went the week before ANZAC day, like I said on monday week one of the school holidays keep that in mind, I went with my dad,(Tafengamonu) Mum,(Tuna) Ros-Alan, Sione and Gorgie. Oh wait yeah we also went to the museum.

Early in the week me and my family went to the museum we explored so much things that happened in the past and in the ANZAC war with Germany and Russia. So we went to this huge room with no door just a big open wall you can walk through so one of the most interesting fun things we tried was theses very heavy coats but obviously in wasn’t that heavy when the soldier’s wore it, a HuGe while later we saw a room with so many things to do with ANZAC we took photos of us in the ships they used to take them to the beaches (the wrong one) we also took some more photos with what they wore these body suits and big shorts and skirts. They also have emergency kits it had tin food, biscuits, tooth brush and they sometimes hide gum in their hats. It was sad we had to finish our adventure but we got some McDonald on our way home.

We had a very fun enjoyable time at the museum looking for information about the ANZAC.
