Wonder Project!!!

 Hi bloggers 

On Wednesday 16th of September we had Wonder Project after along break from it because of lockdown. I was very excited about it when I saw it on the board. For that session we got to launch our first bottle rocket and I was even more excited about the Wonder Project. Every body was excited because whenever they were pumping the air in the bottle they would start counting down. But sadly the pump did not work so then we had to launch it at 30 psi.  But it did launch but it did not go as high as we thought sadly. But everybody was still happy with  height it went and that was the session for that day.

Basketball

Hi blogger commenters
This week on Wednesday we did basketball as our kiwi sport. I was very happy to do basketball because I like playing it. The people who were teaching my school were called Mikey and Ronan. They where a bit bossy at the start and they lied to my class, They said that if Mikey can get the ball off my teacher then we can punish them but if Mikey did not get the ball off then they can punish us. Then Mikey got the ball of my teacher but then he said " ok today's lesson is over" then he said " we are to nice and we are not going to punish your teacher" There was one game that I loved the most at the end of the lesson I am not sure what it is called but there is one person in the middle with the ball and the other is trying it get the ball of and if the person that is trying to get the ball off and he does in ten seconds then that person who got it off starts with the ball and trying to make sure that the other person did not get the ball off. But if the other person that has the ball keep the ball with him for ten seconds that means that he is still in the middle of the circle protecting the ball again for ten seconds. It was very fun doing the basketball and I got used to Mikey. Thanks for seeing my blog.

Basketball Zones😜!!!

Hey Bloggers 
On August the 4th Tuesday the people in Waikowhai from the seniors  that had  made it ot basketball zone went to trust arena with the help of some parents that could help us take us to the trust arena and back to school. The people that made it into basketball zones were, Daiki, Freddy, Jihu, Marcus, Yousef, Lielah, Demetrius, Peityn and finay Disaree. The people who could help to take the people in basketball and back were Jihu's dad, Marcus's Mum and Jamie's mum and then the teacher Mr Riceman and he was the one who was our coach for the team. The time for each game was very short but it felt long because the game was only 10 min and we had 10 in our team. so it was very easy to sub because we had partners. So we switched  every 5 min but after lunch my team started then our partners did because they started the first half of before the launch. Our first game we played Christ The King and the and we won it 14-0, then the next game we won again to Christ The King and we won 10-2, then after that we lost 4-6 to Hillsborough, then after that we won Marshall Laing by 18-0, then after that we won to Hey Park 12-4, then after that we vs Hillsborough again and lost 10-8, then after that we vs Marshall Laing again and won 24-4, then after that we vs Christ The King again 6-14, after that we vs Hay Park and won again, Christ The King and we won. So over all we did very good and we play 10 lost 2 and won 8. So that was our day at basketball zones. I would like to say a thank you to the parents and Mr Riceman you helping us there.

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. 

  

Poetry Competition.

Hey there bloggers.

On Monday we did a poetry competition.

So about 6 weeks ago we were asked  to find a poem for the competition. You could either find a poem from the school poem books or from home or from on your chromebook or finally write one yourself. I found mine from the school books and so did most of my friends. 

Then if you found one on the Chromebook or someone at the school poem books, then they print 2 out so one for you to bring home and the other to put in your writing book. You can also use actions in your poem. 

On that day that you are going to do your poem you do it in separate class. Then everybody gets a sheet to score you and after a week they count up all of the points and then they announce who came 1st, 2nd and 3rd. The best people that I liked was Rudy and Jonathan and the cool thing about it is that they wrote it themselves. 

After you finished your poem you get to pick what part of the production you want to be part of and then from there they will decide if the part is good for you.  The most scary part of the poetry competition is that the Deputy Principal is there. That is what the competition is like at our school.

Thank you for seeing my blog post.
