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!!

 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.

Netball at school

                                   Netball

Hi blogger this week we did netball at school. In the beginning like always we did forever tag and I was so happy because I love to play forever tag so much. After forever tag we did some exercise for running and stretching . 

Then we played the game of golden child. In the game we had 2 teams - one team running and one at shooting. The shooting people have to shoot in the hoop and if they score the running people have to stop where they are. 

The runners have to try and run around the court before they score. The last person in the line is the golden child because he run a if he tags us we with him and try to get to the finish line .

 Then they switch around. It was a really fun game because it will get you faster at running. We lost 3 games but we win 1 game and we did it 4 times . So that was it for today's netball.

 Bye bloggers blog you later!

Trip To Spark Arena

                     TRIP TO SPARK ARENA

Hello bloggers "yeeeeessssss!!!" today all the year 6's went to Spark Arena and the year 5 had to stay back at school. There was Suzy Cato in the Spark Arena and they had their CEO of Spark Arena his name was Brendan . It was in the city and when we came inside 2 more schools there named Royal Road and Lincoln Heights School were in the Spark Arena. The first thing we went to was the Happy Place. At the Happy Place we had a ball pit that we had to jump into it was 15 feet deep and you had to climb out of the ball pit by the ladder. Then we went some more places in the Happy Place and took some photos in the Happy Place.

Then we went to the Sounds Fun place there we learned how to play the music instruments at the sounds fun the first thing we did was to make a sound that is like your sucking a strawberry. You make the noise in the instrument it was kind of fun and kind of hard then 4 of the year 6's sing a song that they said Miss Daly in the entire song that's our teacher name. When the people were singing Miss Daly the teacher was avoiding them, then we did we some more activities related to music.  

After sounds fun we went to see some of the art in the gallery of a artist I said woah this is amazing. There was a hologram that showed the pictures of the artist on the ground so we decided to sit on it. These are all the art that was there , train art , sunflower art, old town art, human art and some more different art.  After that we got lunch from the Spark Arena staff it was sandwich, drink, chips and apple. All the three schools sat down and eat  after we finished it was time to go back to our school and we came back at 12:30 started to do blogging.  It was a really fun trip and we were lucky to go there.
