Trees

Yesterday Mr Jacobsen brought the wire cutters and pliers we had to use the wire cutters and pliers to cut the wires. We had to cut 10 pieces of wire. Then we had to twist the pieces to make a tree it was hard to do the roots. When we were finished we put our name on the tape. After that we had to put our trees in the box.

Athletics day

On Friday it was Athletics day and we had to sit on the court in our lines at 11am. We had Mrs Jacobsen and we had to wear our house colours like Takitimu - yellow, Te Arawa - red, Matatua - green and Tainui - blue. We went to skipping first and we had to skip in the middle to do different skipping and we had to skip forward. After that we went to shotput and the shotput was heavy to throw. Then we went to high jump and I hit the bar. Next we went relay racing and we had to run fast.  When the athletics were finished we went back to class.

Whakapapa Boards

First we researched our designs we have to do one for our Dad, one for our Mum and one for NZ. We have to do our cutlure and the middle and the left, the right is all kiwi patterns. After that we paint the patterns that we've drawn on our boards. 

  

Being able to swim is Important

When you go swimming you learn how to swim from the swimming teacher and if you don’t swim you will have to use the flutter board so we don’t drown. If you don’t know how to swim you have to use a life jacket in a boat.

Brainstorm

We wear hats when we are playing outside when it’s sunny. If you don’t have a hat you will get into trouble and you have to stay in the breeze until the bell rings at morning tea and lunch time. If you don’t wear a hat you will get a sunburn on your skin. The brim protects my face from the sun.

School Rules

When we are at school we use our WITS to respect to each other. When you are using your netbook you use your WITS. When someone is being mean to you just ignore them, walk away and find another friend to play with. We will be in detention if we don’t use our WITS and we have to be polite and be kind to everyone.

How our Movie was made

First Mr Jacobsen came in and took Billy, Pou and Angelica in the van. Then Angelica went up the mountain to run and then came back to school and we watched the movie of her running and running. Next we drew a picture on sumo paint. Mr Jacobsen came  back with his laptop and we watched the movie on the tv.
