Athletics day

My favourite Athletics event was the 200m sprint and the 60m sprint because when I ran on the 200m sprint I came first. When I ran the 60m sprint I got to have three heats. I felt tied but happy at the end of the day.

Kapa Haka Performance

This is me dressed in my Kapa Haka costume ready to perform. Our Kapa Haka group performed at St Andrews Kindergaten and a Resthome. I really enjoyed singing Waiata and having a moko painted on my face.  

Term 3 Reflection

This term I have been enjoying drawing and then dying  Taniwhas. Room8 has them on display in the classroom and on our class blog. Here is a picture of mine.

planting

In room 8 we have been learning how to plant a seed. First you will need a cup. Second of all you need a piece of tissue and then you will need  a seed. Plant the seed in the soil. Give it a little water. Place the cup in the sunshine and watch it grow!

The all blacks will Win.

Go All Blacks. On Wednesday room 8 had a  photo taken of us.The person that took the photo of room 8 was Sandy. Sandy was Leah's grandad. We had to pretend to be the crowd at an All Black rugby game. I had my face painted and I flew an All Black flag. The All Blacks are playing against Argentina on Saturday.

My Mihi

What does cuiture mean to you

I think culture means things like the language you speak. It is the country you are from. Different foods, different styles, different ways of doing things. It is celebrations, songs and dances. It is what makes us special.

Term 2 reflection

One thing I really enjoy about this term is... poety week and Maori language week because I liked
reading the poems. Some of the poems rhymed. I liked learning to say new words in Te Reo Maori

One thing that I found a challenge was arriving at school late,but now I arrive before the bell goes.

garment making

Last night on Thursday it was Vardon School's trashion show where every  costume was made out of reusable rubbish at school. Room 4 and room 8 made lolly costumes. The lolly costumes were called liquorice allsort, milk bottles, snakes, fruit burst, jaffas, candy floss and crocodiles.The crocodiles had a promblem with the tail. It was too heavy. So we decided to make Joseph hold the tail in front of him.

Museum trip

Last Friday Room 8 and Room 7 went to the museum. We saw lots of costumes. There was a sheep costume it was made out of  bed matches. The tail was made out of jewellery.There was a costume that was made out of  suit cases. It looked like a robot. The colour of the suit cases were brown. It looked very amazing. 

Term 1 Reflection

My highlight from term 1is about camp because it was my first time camping with some of my best friends.  I got to meet some people that I have not meet before.
What I have improved on is telling the timea clock.
My goal is to always  bring my home learning book to school every day and do my  spelling at home.

Marmite is back

         Marmite Facts

• The Martie factory got damaged in the Christchurch  earthquake.But it has now been fixed and Martie is back.
• Martie has been here in New Zealand for over 100 years.
• Martie has very little sugar or fat in it.
• It is a vegetarian spread.

      My Opinion

I don't like Marmite because it taste like there is too  much salt.

Group Topic Research

For the topic Research Group we are doing the question " how does a seed grow into a plant?" Susanna had to write some facts in her book. We are also doing a diagram on the computer.When we all frnish our topic information  we have to read the facts that Susanna wrote in her book to the class. Did you know the seed grows roots so it can stay in the ground and not get blown away.

The head band game

 Room 8 played the head  band game and there were three people choosen from Paraha and there were Green head bands. We had to guess what fruit was on our head band by asking questions. Room 8 could only say YES or NO.

Word foto

This is my cool wordfoto it was fun.

Room 8s Assembly

 Room8 assembly was cool because I liked the me bag .The tents that the people made the tent and they talked on the microphone they talked about their tents. I liked the song  never say never there were heaps of people.
