Maori | In the beginning

This week in Maori we Mrs Odie reed us a story about In the beginning. The story was about the sky god Rangi and land god Papa have kids but the kids are in the dark so they find a way to get light. One of the kids say to kill their parents but the other son said no. so all of them tried to separate them. The last one got on his back and but his feet against his father's chest. When he saw light he stopped. When it rains that means that Rangi is crying for papa. We also watched a video of a person doing sand art about the story. It looked really cool. We also learnt about the people who found New Zealand. We went on to this site showing different places of  New Zealand. After that we learnt a song. Mrs Odie told us that she use to sing this song when she was little.

Kiwi Can | Respect

L.I is to be respectful.
This week was the first kiwi can of the term. The theme is to have respect. Respect means behaving yourself. The new topic in kiwi can was respect in school. We had a new leader in kiwi can. her name was Mrs Paige.

The energizer for kiwi can is No Rules Or Rules. So the game was tag but with no rules. So everyone could tag each other. It was really exhausting and boring. The next round was with rules. The first taggers were Mr Matt and Mrs Paige. It was a lot more fun and fair.

After the energizer we talked about Values. Values mean the standards and behavior in your life. My value is taking responsibility. I picked responsibility because I need to be responsible for my own doings.

When we finished doing that we got into our activity. This activity was really fun. The activity was a role-play. The role play was when there are two new students and the other students have shared lunch but the two new students didn't bring any lunch. I was one of the new students. This was really fun to do. This role-play had to do with respect.

Conflict and Resolution| Spark

L.I to analyse a story of its conflict and resolution.
This week in reading we have been learning about conflict and resolution. Conflict means an argument or disagreement and resolution means changing the conflict and ending it. We reed a book called spark. The book is about when dillon has a birthday gift and his brother harley wants a turn but Dillon said No. Then Mum and dad had a disagreement of who should have a turn but then when dillon was riding his scooter dad took it of him and gave it to Harley. When Harley got it he went to the park with the scooter. He went back home to the bathroom. The resolution in this story is that the scooter was stolen. I think that this story connects to Cinderella because when the two sisters were jealous that cinderella had a better dress.

Inquiry | Tunnels

L.I is to make a structure of a tunnel.
This week for inquiry we had to make a tunnel. The things that we needed to make a tunnel was straws, spaghetti sticks, tape, scissors and rubber bands.

The first thing we had to do was get split into groups of four. When we got into groups of four we had to decide as a group how much things we needed. When we came up with an Idea we had to draw what we were imaging what it would look like. When we finished doing that we went to show the teacher so that she could give us the material. When we got the material we had to think of what it would look like. What we first came up was rubber band  the spaghetti sticks.
Then when we came up with a better one we went with it. The first thing that we started on was the road. We built the road with straws. We also had to measure it the size of the tray. Our one was a bit long but then we cut it. The next thing  we did was make a tunnel with straws. It wasn't really like a tunnel but it was like a square. After that we started to use the spaghetti sticks so we un tied the rubber bands of the spaghetti sticks. Later when we finished we got someone out the group to hold the spaghetti so that we could tape it. We had to use a lot of tape. The straws kept on going down because the spaghetti sticks kept on putting weight on it. Next we had to wrap around Cling Wrap so that the sand wouldn't go inside of the tunnel. We also had to but the ferrari in the tunnel so that we had to see if it was going to fit in the tunnel. When we finished we had to fill it with sand and see if it would survive. It failed completely. The only thing that we had to do was do more straws so that it could be more stable.

Kiwi Sport| Swimming

L.I is to be safe in water.
Today It was really sad day for me because it was the last day of swimming. I liked doing this terms kiwi sport because they help me learn new stuff and how to be safe in water. LS1 has enjoyed this terms kiwi sport.

The first thing that we did was take the roll. After the roll Helen asked us if any of us knew what sequence means.  I answered with saying In order. It was correct. When we finished we had to safe entry into the water. When we did we had to get a board. Helen gave us a board each. what we had to do was kick to the other side. we done it several times. We all hands had to hold the start of the boardand but our head down to the water.

When we finished we started to A Mushroom. To do a mushroom you start with floating like a ball. When you do that you do a T with your body. after that you get into a streamline. It was so fun. When we finished doing that we done circle arms while doing mushroom. Then after that we had to rotate. It was so funny because it was hard for me.

After that we had to do a race. The first race was with me and Fau. We had to use the boards and Kick. We started from the deep end and to the second platform. After that we had to sit on the board and tread. it was so hard for me. Fau Won because she kept more balance.

When It was I over I thanked helen for teaching us how to survive in water. Thanks to this swimming lesson I now know how to survive in water
