Ancient Olympics Games

                            Ancient Olympics

Hello blogger this week in reading we did a DLO it was about Ancient Olympic Games in the old times and what changes are there then and now. It was really fun because I learned some new facts about Ancient Games. I didn't know that they used to wear so less clothes every time and I found out that they only played a few games. My favorite part was when I found out how they used to do the Olympics and how they learned it or found that sport. When I was finding a photo for my DLO It looked so weird because they were wearing weird clothes. 

Also I will leave a link so you can look at my DLO and see what I did at the end of the my blog. I will tell you some really interesting facts about ancient games. Like some of you know that they women were not allowed to play in the Olympics they were killed just attempting the Olympics or even watching. The top 3 used to get a very big prize for coming top 3 and everyone use to try really hard just to come in the top 3. Here is a link to my Ancient Olympics slide show that I have been working on.

Cook island

                            Cook Island 

Hi bloggers in the school holidays Miss Daly our class teacher went to Rarotonga she went there to visit some schools. When she came back we did a slide show and that was about Cook Islands. You had to tell about how many thing are there in this photo, what is Miss Daly making in this photo, what do the boys wear and the girls. I found the information from cook island dictionary and translated the word from English to Cook Island. The best thing I learned many new thing like how to say all of these word pauaoa/dog, Tangata/people, Mapia/water, no'o anga/chair, akamaranin/shed, potera/boat, ‘aka‘ō‘ō-welcoming.

The costume that boys where is Te-vaka and the girls is titi, pareu means a single straight piece of printed cotton cloth that what Miss Daly was making. Pakarikari means you strength plate-mereki, bowl-pa and string-kati coconut is called akari. I really enjoyed doing all of that stuff about cook island and I learned many new thing. Here is a link of the cook island dictionary hope you liked this blog comment down below how the blog was.

Olympics

                               Olympics

 Hello bloggers this week we watched  Olympics we watched rowing, rugby x2 and swimming. In the first match it was Fiji against Japan and Fiji won, I voted for Fiji because they are really good. In rowing we won, there were 6 different teams we came first and  we won a gold medal in rowing , that was a big proud moment for New Zealand. The next rugby match we won by 29-7 NZ against Kenya I was so happy because New Zealand was in the semi-finals. In swimming there was 7 teams and in the beginning America was first then Australia caught up to win. My friend said if Australia win the New Zealand will get some of the credit because we are part of Australia, but we are not, they are just our neighbours.

At the end of the swimming race Australia won and America came second and Australia's team got so happy but Australia said to America good game maybe next time you will win. We also did an Olympics sport logo study that you have to guess which sport it is and write it in the box below, at the end you have to pick which sport you want to do and tell its history country at origin, describe it country popular & amount. I picked basketball 3x3 means 3v3 and basketball was invented by a American named James Naismith 1891 that was 130 years ago. To get really good at basketball I suggest do 30-50 minutes of practice. 

That what we did about Olympics this week and I really enjoyed it and I got to learn some new facts about Olympics I think we will win in rugby easily in the Olympics😎. Hope you enjoyed this Olympic blog.  Here are some photos until then. Blog you later bloggers!!

Richie Patterson at our school

 Hello blogger this week on Thursday Richie Patterson came to our school he told us about his curryer how he become a weightlifter. He told us about how he won the gold medal by lifting 184 kgs above his head three times like the weight of 2 fridges with milk. Told us about how he started what his dream was when he was small he use to live on a farm. He wanted to be a rugby player when he was small then we wanted to be a weightlifter when he first went to the olympics he failed and so he was really sad that time but he did not give up. 

He trained worked harder to improve and next time he came and he failed again but still he did not give up. Richie Patterson told us about his wife how she was a weightlifter and she jumped on a wall the was taller than her same as Richie so they got married. When he won the gold he then won the silver but after that he wanted to win a browne kind of weird because gold, silver, bronze. Now he is the couth of his two students and he said if we are watching the olympic they he will shave his eyebrow with his fingers to say hi to us. 

Now he is a couth and he has two student that will be participating  in the olympics in tokyo. When he won the silver he saw some big big people like lebron james and the craziest person Cristiano Ranaldo. That was his story how he become a weightlifter.

Matariki DLO

                            Matariki

 Hi bloggers this week we did a Matariki DLO you had to tell everything you new and fill information, here is what I wrote to tell what is Matariki. We all have to do the Matariki DLO I also looked at a story and I learned to find Matariki in the morning.  The best thing I learned about Matariki was how to find it and so many people don't know how to find it.

That's what I wrote about Matariki and even myself. I learned some new things and also how to find Matariki I can't see it because I don't wake up at 5-6 in the morning. But maybe you can try to find Matariki I will try myself next time. Here is some photos of Matariki and it looks so cool. Here is the link to my slideshow, Blog you later!

Stem week Waikowhai student led Toolkits

                               Toolkits

Kia ora blogger last week on Friday we had toolkits and for that we need you chromebook fully charged because we will be doing toolkits until 1pm. There was 3 things that you can choose to do them in orders of first, second and third. There was 24 presenters in 24 toolkits.

The first toolkit that I went to was Drones it was really frustrating 😠because the Drones were not charged so we had to go do Spheros. I actually think that was more fun than Drones because we learned how to use them and how to drive them in a group of 4 and it was so fun the Spheros could go about 2 km per hour.

When I came back from morning tea I went to Incredibox that was so much fun and I already knew how to play it. In Incredibox you make you own song and with putting the music man on a player and he will start to sing and I made three and played all of them at ones. At the end I showed 2 of my Incredibox that I made.

After Incredibox I went to brainbox it is a building thing and I made a working fan I really liked that someone else made a speaker and it actually worked. That when I thought Incredibox and Brainbox is my favorite 2 toolkits. after lunch we had to answer the roll with you favorite toolkit and I said Incredibox.

 That was the most fun day in the week if you have a chance please choose Incredibox and I tell you why because I created a really nice music and I think it was slightly better then Spheros and Brainbox.

Pink T-Shirt Day

                       PINK T-SHIRT DAY

Hi blogger last week was pink t-shirt day so every buddy had to wear something pink. I forgot that it was pink shirt day so I just wore my school uniform at school and also I did not have any pink to wear 👕. But before coming inside the classroom I go to bible and I saw all the people having something pink. That's when I remember that I had to wear something pink to school for pink shirt day.  After bible I came into class and the teacher asked me wear is your pink I said I didn't have anything to wear.

Then we went to the singing assembly and it was also Mrs McGrath birthday day if you don't know who she is she is the deputy principal of Waikowhai Primary School, so we sang happy birthday to her before singing🎂.  After the assembly we went outside and took the photo of everyone wearing pink and some people didn't wanted to wear pink, we took the photo with a drone up in the spy and noticed  that we were making the t.  

Then we made a t- shirt to give it to you neighbour that was for art and I was so tired of doing that because I had to draw on 3 pages for almost 2 hours. After the day ended I went to do backtrack and after that I went home that what we did on pink shirt day.
