Awesome athletics

Yesterday we had athletics. There are five groups, team tahi, team rua, team turu, team wha and team rima. I am in team rima and yesterday we did high jump. On Friday it is athletics but we are only practising. We have been practising for a couple of weeks now. I can’t really jump high in high jump but I enjoy it. I really enjoy long jump and I think I am good at long jump. I try really hard in athletics especially in relays. I think relays are really hard but I still try my best. I am really scared but I will try my best and use my four hoe to achieve my goals. I am really hoping I do good but athletics isn’t a winning sport it’s a sport to have fun in. I hope you learnt that athletics is just to try your best and have fun and I hope you enjoyed.

Fantastic blog about the Film Festival

Last week on Wednesday a couple of year 5 and 6 students including me had an opportunity to go to the Kawakawa film festival. We all gathered up after tuakana hui and we walked down to the bus. We went to the Kawakawa Primary School hall. There were two girls who went to Kawakawa School who explained what was happening and a little bit about the film festival. We got told that the film festival was going to be at least one hour long but it went by fast. The first film was one of Paihia Schools films in Te Maunga. A couple of films later there was another film from Paihia School called Life About Nerds and that was my brothers film. And a couple of films later it was finally the last film. After we watched it most of us were saying they saved the best for last because it was the best. The last film was Boy and it was really funny. The film festival wasn’t really long. I wish I went back at the six o,clock one because I really wanted to see boy again. We had another movie night at Paihia School on the last day without the year seven and eights. If you want to know about that stay on my blog or come onto it daily. Did you go to the film festival and what was your favourite film?

Interesting facts I bet you never knew about

Yesterday Whaea Gina came into Te Ngahere and taught us about healthy eating. This was really just about going over the things we have already learnt. Whaea Gina also brought two ladies who came in. I am sorry but this was the first time I had seen the ladies and I forgot their names. I was really excited and I started shouting out. There were four food groups, grain foods, meat and meat alternatives, vegetables and fruit, and milk and milk products. Grain foods mean to go, meat and meat alternatives mean to grow, vegetables and fruit mean to glow and milk and milk products mean whakatupu (grow). Grain foods are great in the morning such as brown bread or weetbix. Why I said brown bread is because it is healthier than white bread. Sometimes people won’t eat rice in the morning but it is great in lunch but if you want to eat healthier go for the brown rice. Whaea Gina said to have at least 2 foods out of the food groups in our lunches. After that the two woman Whaea Gina brought gave use a survey. Here is a slide show about what we Learnt.

Tips about Tuia 250 Flotila

Kia ora. Last Friday I went to the Tuia 250 flotilla with my family. The Tuia 250 flotilla was a re-creation of the endeavor coming to New Zealand and it has been 250 years since Captain Cook sailed here. On Thursday we saw the waka (Ngatokimatawhaorua) come in. On Friday we woke up really early and we saw the boats and waka come in. It was amazing. A couple of minutes after that we went back home and we went to get some food and drinks. When we finished we rushed to the marae so we could see the powhiri. The powhiri was amazing. It was amazing how hard they went in their haka and it inspired me to go hard in kapa haka. Then we looked at the waka. There was another ceremonial waka and you could see how small the waka was to Ngatokimatawhaorua. I took a video of the waka and the boats. After that we walked home. I hope you enjoyed my blog post.

Duffy Show

Kia ora everyone, last week there was a Duffy Show. Everyone was entertained. They sang the duffy song and they put a show together and shared their show with all of Paihia School. The show was about Duffy (Dillan) playing a video game and he got to go to Sam’s (Duffy’s cousin) house. Sam and Duffy were both obsessed with video games. When Duffy arrived at Sam’s house all she wanted to do was play video games. Duffy reminded her about what they did when they were younger but Sam just ignored him while Sam’s mum was welcoming. After a while Duffy tried on their Nana’s glasses and then Duffy got sucked into the game. When he got sucked into the game Sam was trying to get him out but then she got sucked into the game too. She brought her nana’s book and they found out that her nan was an engineer and their nana’s book helped them get out. I hope you liked my blog post about the Duffy Show. Bye

Amazing Ki-o-rahi

Kia ora everyone. It is the 30th of October and guess what we just finished. Well we finished our Ki-o-rahi tournament. It was amazing, I think we were amazing trust me. We traveled from Paihia to Simpson Park in Morewa. I went with my friend and her nan in their truck. I was so nervous because we didn’t have enough practise. Our first game we lost 21-1 but only because we were playing a year 7 and 8 Ki-o-rahi team. I think we did pretty good in our first game. On our second game we won 10-1. I was amazed and happy. The third game we lost but I don’t remember the score but what I know is that we got 3 points. What I think we need to work on is to spread out because we kept on following where the ball went and who it went to. When we had breaks we always would go on watch the year 7 and 8’s. The year 7 and 8’s were also amazing. The year 5 and 6 team didn’t make it into the semi finals but the year 7 and 8 team did. The year 7 and 8 team lost the semi finals but they tried their best and they did great. Sorry but my teacher was to concentrated on the game and forgot to take some photos but I hope you liked and enjoyed my blog post. Bye.

Awsome Ki-o-rahi practice

Hi bloggers, tomorrow some year 5, 6, 7 and 8 students are going to Ki-o-rahi. There is a year 5 and 6 team and a year 7 and 8 team. We have been practising as much as we could. We try to get out and practice but sometimes the weather isn’t good. Sometimes the year 7 and 8’s practise with the year 5 and 6’s. We have to take turns because there are rolling subs. Rolling subs are when you have to stop and give your tags to someone else so they can have a turn. I really enjoy playing Ki-o-rahi with my friends and my cousins. What I learnt was that sometimes you have to be patient and you have to take turns. I hope you liked my blog post. Bye.

Awsome swim safe lesson

Last Week on Thursday the 17th of October we had a dry land swim safe lesson from Tracy. Tracy came in and taught us the importance of being on a boat and the importance of swimming in the ocean. There are 5 steps to be staying safe on a boat and in the ocean. Tracy bought 5 different kinds of flares. Some of Te Ngahere learnt the different kinds of flares. Tracy taught Te Ngahere that after a while flares can get really hot. Another thing that Tracy taught us was EPIRBS. EPIRB stands for Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon. Epirbs can locate your destination in a emergency situation and someone will come and help you. If you want to know the 5 ways you can stay safe on a boat keep reading.
The first step is the most important step and is to put your safety first.
The second step to staying safe on a boat is to check the weather.
The third step is to tell someone where you are going and what time you will be back. You should tell the cost guards, their channel is on channel 16 and in russell it is on channel 14.
The fourth step is to wear a life jacket at all possible times because if you are not wearing a life jacket you will have to decide which life jacket fits you and where you put them.
The fifth and final step is to take a waterproof phone so you can get hold of someone if something bad happens.
We also learnt that if you are not confident to go swimming don’t swim. Another thing we learnt was if you think there is a rip in the water throw a stick in and if it comes back to you there isn’t a rip but if it doesn't there is a rip. Hope you learnt something.Bye.

My first Blog Post (STEAM CHALLENGE)

Hello everyone welcome back to my blog. Did you have a great holiday? Well in Te Ngahere on the first day back at School we did a steam challenge. We made a newspaper tower but we only used 2 sheets of newspaper and 30 cm of tape. If you don’t know what steam means it is an acronym and stands for s-science, t-technology, e-engineering, a-art and m-maths. We were getting judged by who had the tallest newspaper tower. What I learnt was to create a free standing object with limited equipment. What I found difficult was rolling the newspaper because it would never be tight enough. When we were building our tower I kept on looking back at the timer because we only had 20 minutes to make our tower. We used 10-15 minutes of the 20 minutes deciding how we were going to make our tower. What we could have done better was all contributed in making our tower because one of my group members didn’t contribute as much. When we were judged our tower was 99cm high. Our tower was the fourth highest newspaper tower in my class. I was so surprised by how high it was because we didn’t have a base. I hope you like my first blog post this month. Bye.

Kapa Haka Performance

Tena koe, Last Thursday we had our Kapa Haka performance. When we arrived we were already in a room before we went on stage. I was scared because one group that was before us was Horeke and they were awesome. The group that was after Horeke was the ukulele group then we went on stage. Before we went on stage we were all squashed in a small room. When we were on stage behind the boards our Kapa Haka tutor was with us and she told us all to smile and told us to remember what we had practised. I was scared because the curtains were closed, then they pulled the rope to open up the curtains. We were finally on stage and our first song was a happy song so we had to smile through the whole thing. I think I smiled throughout the whole song and I think I did a pretty good job. When we walked off stage I was so scared because I slowed down on our poi and it almost stopped - but I made sure it didn’t. What I could have worked on in our entry was to pukana the whole way through because it is talking about who we are and where we come from. What I enjoyed was the whole performance because we didn’t just go there and show everyone a Kapa Haka performance but we also went there to represent Paihia School.
Hope you liked my blog post Kia kite.

Kapa Haka Rehearsal

Last week on Tuesday we had our Kapa Haka rehearsals at the Memorial hall in Kaikohe. When we arrived we were all gathered in a group before we went inside. I had to get a Paihia School T-shirt because I didn’t go to school and get a T-shirt before we arrived because my nan and I went to get some black pants because my brothers and I had no black pants. We stood at the back but then we got put all the way up the front. I was so scared because there was a lot of great performances. I watched a couple of groups and they were amazing but all I needed to focus on was my facials. It was finally time for our performance and I was so scared, throughout our performance our kapa haka tutor stood at the back and was making sure we were smiling. What I did well was smiling because I smiled almost throughout the whole performance. I enjoyed watching other people’s performances because the first group didn’t make me as nervous as I was because we could of been the first performance group. What I learnt was that when other people are performing we need to sit still and listen because the first performance group was probably really scared.

Giving credit

 Tena koe, throughout this week and last week we have been learning how to search for and acknowledge any images we use. We have learnt where to get people’s licenses from and the author that made or took the picture. We made a google slide showing where we got the picture from the name of the picture, the authors name and the license. What I learnt is that sometimes some pictures aren't usable and what I found out that there is a licence for photos. I also learnt how to give credit to people. We made a google slide but at the end of this there is a google drawing teaching people like you how to give credit to people. 

Here is my google drawing

Energize

On Tuesday the 3rd of September Whaea Gina came to Paihia School and taught us about healthy and unhealthy drinks. She taught us about drinks we should drink everyday, drinks we shouldn’t drink as much and drinks we should stop drinking. Did you know e2 has 20 tsp of sugar in it and coke only has 10 tsp of sugar in it so Whaea Gina said regular coke is better then the other coke’s such as diet coke and the other cokes. Did you also know that milk and water are the healthiest drinks? Did you know that juice isn’t as healthy as milk and water?
Here is a google drawing.

Second Kapa haka

Hi bloggers this is my (second or third) kapa haka blog post. This week the kapa haka roopu has been practising for another culture festival. This time we are going to Kaikohe in week nine. We have been working really hard. We also have been learning how to drag notes at the end of every waiata and when to breath so we can hit the notes. One of our kapa haka tutors said that we have to emphasize our mouths so we pronounce our kupu properly. I have found it hard to open my mouth and sing so from now on I am going to try and emphasize my mouth a lot more because sometimes I go flat while doing our first waiata.
Hope you enjoyed

Science fair

Kia ora Ko Breeze toku ingoa. Ko Paihia toku kura. I am a year 6 student in Te Ngahere. My group and I have been working really hard on our science fair project. Our aim was which pen will last the longest out of bic, papermate, homebrand and officemax. There were four people in our group so we all brought a pen each. To figure out which pen will last the longest we had to rule one metre lines, after a couple of days my arm started to hurt so my helpful group members helped me rule the lines.

On Friday we presented our science projects to Paihia School. There were judges to judge who would be going to KeriKeri. We got told that whoever is going to KeriKeri or is going to get an award has to wait until the assembly. We were all waiting until the assembly and I was hoping to get first second or third.

It was finally time to know who was going to KeriKeri but before we could know we had to wait until Mrs Lindsay’s mihi finished. When Mrs Lindsay's mihi finished my teachers went up and gave out the science fair awards. Some friends of mine came first place my group came second place and some other friends of mine came third and highly commended. I was so happy when my teacher called out my name for second place because we get to go to KeriKeri. Hope you enjoyed.

Energize

Today Whaea Gina came to Paihia School to teach us about healthy and unhealthy eating. We learnt that there are many different healthy food categories like meat and meat alternatives, milk and milk products, grain foods and vegetables and fruit. We learnt that even if you are a vegetarian you need meat alternative because of the protein in it and they have a good source of iron. Also the meat has to be the same size of your palm not including your fingers. We learnt that it is good to have a healthy diet. Whaea Gina also told us not to bring to many packaged things in our lunch box .

Ned

Yesterday on the first of August everyone gathered up in the whare. Why they gathered up in the whare is because they were getting ready for a NED show. NED stands for three different things, N stands for Never give up, E stands for Encourage others and D stands for do your best. Unfortunately I was sick yesterday but I heard a lot about it. My Friend said the lady running the NED show gave a message saying if you set your mind to it you can do anything. I wish I was there but I did not want anyone else to get sick. She also gave another message like let go of I know so that you can learn and grow, do your best, never give & keep trying.

Science Fair

Kia ora ko Breeze toku ingoa. Ko Paihia toku kura. In Te Ngahere we have been preparing for a science fair. We have been learning how to carry out a scientific investigation. Last term in our reading we were learning about the scientific method. My science group was Mihipeka, Vanya and Nikara. We were trying to find out which pen brand has the most ink in it. We had to rule lines until our pens ran out. My pen was HomeBrand, Nikara’s pen was OfficeMax, Vanya’s pen was PaperMate and Mihi’s pen was Bic. Our group hypothesis was that Mihi’s pen would last the longest but as we got to the end our hypothesis was wrong. Nikara’s pen OfficeMax lasted the longest, My pen came second, Mihi’s pen bic came third and Vanya’s pen PaperMate had the least amount of ink in it. If you are looking for a pen that last the longest you should probably get OfficeMax. OfficeMax is only $1.30 HomeBrand is 30c each or $2.00, PaperMate is $1.30 and bic is 90c. What I found challenging is ruling the lines because my arm got tired. What I enjoyed was collaborating and getting help from my awesome group members.

Running

For the past two weeks after Lunch we have been going out onto the field to practise for cross country. We had to do 2 laps around the field until yesterday. Yesterday we had to run 3 laps around the field. When we first had to run I knew I would not do good and I would be tired because I don’t pace myself.

The first time I ran was on Monday and I was scared We got timed after we had done two laps around the field. My first time was 8.07. On Tuesday we didn’t go for a run, on Wednesday we went for another run, I improved my time by one minute and three second. On Thursday I didn’t run because I went to rippa rugby. On Friday we ran in the morning and I didn’t improve my time. On Monday I got seven eighteen. Yesterday on Tuesday we had to predict what we would get if we ran three times and my prediction was I would get eleven thirty, when we went for ur run I got eleven twenty two. I am going to try and improve that time today.

The 2nd rippa rugby tournament

On the 25th of July some of the year 5 & 6’s had an awesome opportunity to go to Hikurangi to compete in another rippa rugby tournament to represent Paihia School. I was one of those people and we got told that it is not about winning it’s about having fun. We travelled to Hikurangi in our School van. When we got there we started to put or bags down and started to practise. I turned around and I looked at all the teams that were competing, they looked like they were really competitive.

We had 4 games but I forgot 3 scores, the only one I remember was the last one, the last one was 4-6 and we lost, the other 3 games we won. What I thought we could of improved on was to spread out.

We thought we didn’t make it into the semifinals. We got told we did because she added a bonus point until she realized in her rule book she said she wasn’t allowed to do that. Unfortunately we did not make it into the semifinals but we had awesome fun. We came back to Paihia School and we told everyone about our day. At the end of the day I realized everyone is a winner.

Kids can run

Kia ora I am Breeze I go to Paihia School and I am in Te Ngahere. At Paihia School some of Te Ngahere are going to be running a Kids Can run for the Juniors. The people who are going to be running the Kids Can activities are people who are Physical Activity Learner s(PAL), I am a PAL and I am going to be doing the gumboot throw. Gumboot throw is who can throw the gumboot the farthest. We are going to do the activities on Friday this week. Keep on checking out my blog and I will write a blog post on Friday about the activities.

rippa rugby

On Tuesday the 4th of June the year 5&6’s went to play rippa rugby in Kaikohe. What I learned was to remember to run straight not backwards. What I enjoyed was getting the ball so I can run and score a try. What I could be better at is to work as a team and share the ball so we all get a turn. I like playing rippa rugby because we get to learn new games and learn the rules of the game. When we go to another tournament I will know what I need to improve and what I need to work on.

kapa haka

I am a year 6 in Te Ngahere at Paihia School. I am in the Kapa Haka roopu and we have been training for a big event. We are going to Kawakawa School to perform in the Kawakawa Culture festival. We have been missing some of our morning teas and all of our lunches to practise. I like doing kapa haka because we learn new waiata. Some people in the Kapa Haka roopu went to Tai Tokerau to see them perform. I am scared to go because it is this Friday and I didn’t go to Tai Tokerau. I think I just have to believe in myself to do my best in Kapa Haka. It is not about coming first because it is just to have fun and at the end of the day everybody is a winner.

Treaty Grounds

On Thursday & Friday we went to the Treaty Grounds. It was funny when we were waiting for the bus because it was about 35 minutes late. Then it finally got to our school and we finally got to the Treaty Grounds. When we got there we got told some rules. We got a tour on the way where we were heading. When we reached the stairs we had to use feather feet, Feather feet is when you tippy toe up the stairs. When we got to the room we saw devices and we had to put our bags on a table. They explained what the devices were and what the games were, the games were Tinkercad, SculptGL, Paint 3D, VR (Virtual Reality), Slow motion (animation), Coding robots & Green screen. Then we got put into groups, one group had to go on a walk and my group stayed in playing on the devices. Before we started we got to pick a buddy then start. Whaea Monica took us for a walk while Whaea kerry stayed inside. When we first got into Te Ngahere we saw a Kereru poop!!! It was really funny. After that we saw a tui or fantail. After our walk it was time to go home and on Friday we got told we were going to come to our school.

Kupe

In Te Ngahere we have been doing some research about Nukutawhiti,
Kupe, James cook and Abel Tasman. We did a google slides with all the
information on it. We got to pick who to research about, we picked Kupe.
We picked Kupe because we thought that he had more information than everyone else,
and we seemed to find him more interesting. We had finally started and we were
researching. We found quite much info but not as much info as we thought.
We found a lot of info on his impact.

Magic show

On Wednesday we went to a magic show. We had to pay 4$ to go to the magic show, at first I was so surprised. I was so happy and I couldn't wait to go. We finally got into the whare and we saw the magician. I was so amazed I wanted to scream. The first magic trick he did was a fire one. My favourite ones was the ones with the birds. My favourite one was at the end when he turned a bird into a rabbit. The little kids wanted to touch the rabbits, but he said they no. I asked him a question, My question was how do you know which bird is which, the magician said that he could tell by the weight.

Anzac

In Te Ngahere we have been doing maths about Anzac. We had a huge A3 piece of paper that had questions on it. We had both sides we had to figure out. The first one was easy because we just had to double the recipe. There was a recipe that we had to double. It was a Anzac biscuit recipe. The recipe made 30 biscuits and we had to double 30 and that is 60. Next after that we had to make 120 biscuits, we didn’t make them but we had to solve out how they made them. This one was a little challenging because we had to double the other recipe and it was getting difficult. We finally got it then we were moving on the last one. The last on was really hard. We were working out 360. We were really struggling on this one so we asked for help. We finally finished it and we were so proud. I really enjoyed the second one because I like challenging ones but not to challenging.

Maths

Date:08/05/19 In Te Ngahere we have been learning basic facts. We have
been learning our basic facts to make it easier when I get up to stage 6 and 7.
I have achieved my 11, 10, 2 and my 5 times table. I have been learning my 4 times tables
and going to try my best to learn all of them by tomorrow because I only have to learn 4x12, 4x9 and 4x7.
When I get tested I am going to try and know them within three seconds.

Date:09/05/19 I have now learnt my 4 times tables and now I have to
learn my 3 times tables. I am going to try really hard on these. I think they won’t be as
challenging as my 4’s but I think my 12 x 3 is going to be the hardest when I get tested.

In Te Ngahere and Nga motu we have been doing mothers day cards. Mothers day is this coming Sunday. i am so exited. I have a card and a treat I cant wait to see there reaction.

In Te Ngahere we have been researching about Nukutawhiti, Kupe, James cook and Able Tasman. we got to choose who we wanted to research about. My group choose Kupe because we thought he had to most interesting info. Here are some photos of all of them.

Sea Cleaners

On Tuesday the 12th of March Tracy came to our School. Tracy is a sea cleaner, she cleans the sea. If there is a lot of rubbish in the ocean then the sea creatures will die. There is a lot of plastic in the ocean. Plastic is the main thing that kills sea animals or the sea life. It was really cool listening about the sea life. I like sea animals and every other animal. Sea life is really important. We asked a lot of questions. The question I liked the most was, what do you find in the ocean. She answered all of our questions.
