Surf lifesavings

Last week on Wednesday Nga Rau Tipuranga,  Nga Rau Rangatira and a few kids from room 16 went to the surf lifesavings in Ruakaka. Well we were there we  learnt about rips, beach safety and what we should and shouldn't do on the beach.  My favourite part was when we got to get in the water. My least favourite part was when we had to leave.

First encounter

For the past few weeks we have been learning about first encounters. My group did James Cook. We were given ipads to work on to make objects like People, Waka, Boats and lots more. With thoose objects we put the into a 3d world. The easy part was deciding who was going to make which objects.
The hard part was finding what app to use to make my objects.

Matariki

Matariki

Last week Wednesday we had our Matariki whanau day. The part I enjoyed was seeing my grand parents because I got to show them my work and my class.  My least favorite part was performing because I got stage fright.

Cultural festival

On Friday last week we had the cultural festival. The cultural festival was about whanaungatanga and kapa haka.  Other schools came to perform and show us what they do in kapa haka. My favourite part was the food stall because they had things like donuts and pancakes. My least favourite part was performing because I got stage fright.

Waka Haerenga

Today we went to Opua to learn about voyaging. My favorite part was when we got to get on the boat and learn about what they do when they are out voyaging. My least favorite part was when it rained and we had to run inside. If there is a next time I want to learn how navigate using the stars.

Gratitude

This week we have been learning about gratitude and what we should be grateful for. The easy part was knowing what the task was and knowing what I had to do. The hard part was trying to pick which 5 things I wanted to write about.

This morning we had to go to the pool to go reflect on our boat project. We used a students boat and filled it with water and went to the pool to see if it would float and most of the class knew it was not going to float.
