Matariki Day

Hi bloggers!

On thursday the 23rd of july the senior syndicate had a rotational activity that we did. We rotated by class so Hauraki started at  and the 2 other class Manukau, Waitemata starts at there class and then we move to the next class and it was very fun that day because we did the three things that I like to do sometimes. The three rotational actives that we did was, in Hauraki we made kites or in Maori they say tukutuku, For the next activity that we did was making Maori bread and it was super easy because let me tell you how to make it so first you get out a chopping board and a big spoon and a cooking bowl and finally a pan and put oil about a half the cooking pan and heat it. Then you get self rising flour and get around one and a quarter and put it in with the flour then you mix it in the bowl with the big spoon and make sure you don't make the dough too soggy, then you cut it up in to pieces of as much as you want. Then put it in to the hot pan and put it in carefully os it dose not splash about when you put it in. Then the last activity that we did was animation of a Maori myth and to make the animation we either got to use the playdough or draw or use paper. Then we needed to use Chromebook to use the animation.

And that what it was like on that day.

Here is some pictures.

Cross Country 😉 😉 😉

Hi Bloggers

On Thursday the 2nd of July we had Cross Country at our school Waikowhai. But our school starts at 9 O'clock and the Cross Country starts at 11 O'clock. We had a early morning tea. We had it at 10:30. Then after the morning tea we got ready and sat in front of our year group set school the year 6 people in the school was helping with the stations because the year 6s are running last. So then The year 5 went to the last station because they go second to last and then of course the year four people would go to the second to last station. As you know then it would go down a year until it got to the year ones run first. The first station we went on the playground or play with other equipments like the blocks instuff. After that we went to the tennis station were  and we of course played tennis. After after that we did the blindfold game, so how you play is that you have a partner and one of you put the blindfold on. Then after you have done that your partner will guide you by telling witch way to go like right or left and you will have a bucket to put in the soft toy if you found one. So at the last station we did the worm up and we first did about 5 stretches and then did one game of duck duck goose and then after that was my fear of doing was the run because all the time in the cross country I have been coming first and if I come 2nd I will be embarrassed because people will be like why did you not come first and the other part of it was that my mum was there!!! We also did handball .And what I like the most was actually the run because I actually out ran them by far so at lunch after our run Noah( my friend) was invited. So then my mum got us a special treat and it was the goody goody gum drop ice cream.

Here is some photos of the day.
