Rocket to mars

This term kereru and kiwi(our reading groups) has been doing rockets to mars,sorting numbers and more.We do this activities  in our reading time. It is called compatashonal thinking.We do our activities outside most of time.

My favorite activity is called rockets to mars. It is extremely similar to coding. I was chosen to be mars Nathan was the rocket and lily-rose was the debugger. I went to the corner of the floor bored. So they disgusted about which direction to go.First they went straight 5 times.Then they went left 5 times. Done! The rocket landed at mars.

  

Kapa haka festival

                                                                                 The turanganui festival

Hi my name is Leo and today I am going to be telling you about the turanganui festival (the kapa haka festival).The kapa haka festival is a place where you sing,do the pukana,do the actions,do the poi and many more.Without these things in kapa haka it is nothing.It is about proving who we are.You can do kapa haka at school,with your friends and even yourself.At wainui beach school we do kapa haka 1 time every year.We did ours on 18th november 2020(wednesday).

I woke up from bed in a pretty decent surprize.MEAW! my cat meows exactly in my ear.WHAT DAY IS IT! I screamed."wednesday my dad replied"The kapa haka festival! I raced my cat(lily)to the closet and put my clothes on as fast as I could and I went to school before 8am and went to go get my moko.A moko is sort of a face paint but it is more traditional than a normal face paint. we went to the stadium by the mammoth bus.I sat with my friend(Vinne) on the backseat of the bus.It felt like the bus was tipping one way to another.I was shivering. It neary felt like I had a frostbite.When we arrived at the turanganui festival(tf).When we went on stage it was so nerve racking.Our haka was so loud that my eardrums nearly came off.

I felt so passionate when I sang. Soon when we went of stage we watched kindergarteners sing and than we watched our little class.

butterfly

 On monday morning koka leah(our teacher) set us some priorities for the week.We had to draw our own butterflies. 

First we have to do 2 draft before we do the real thing.I started a bit late but then When I finished it felt like a brick wall hit me.I was so stuck on pastiling. I didn't know what part to color in.There was yellow,red and orange. But then koka Leah helped me and said "You don't need to color the dots in exactly".That made it ten times easier.

I finally finished it I said in relave but now I have to make the background I was just about to start but then kahu said "I will help you"okay now let's get to work.Kahu pushed all the paint and I  rolled It. So now I do the white spots. 

I am proud of how my butterfly looks. 

Skipping

 Skipping 

In Room one we do skipping daily (when it's not raining).I hate when you skip bare feet because the rope will hit your toes and It will sting like hell! I would rather skip with shoes on because there is no need to get hit by the rope. 

My skipping buddy this term is Kahu.I think Kahu is an astonishing skipper. I also sometimes play tag with him sometimes on the playground. 

We do skipping because we are training for cross country.We also do running sometimes instead of skipping.We have skipping buddy so they can count our skips.overall i prefer skipping then running because its more interacting than just  running

                                                                  

How it works

We have 2 15 seconds, 2 30 seconds and 2 45 seconds for our buddies and I. I use a green rope which is the smaller rope(everyone thinks I should use the bigger ones but i prefer the green ones because they are easy to skip for me )  

 I think skipping is stunning overal (But if you skip bare feet you will regret it).
