About England!

Hey Bloggers! last week were doing the Summer Learning Journey with Megan. We are doing the last year one because they haven't put on the challenges. Some people were starting before the start date. We had to choose a place that was listed on the doc. I choose England because it is near Scotland and I like Scotland because that's were I got my name from. England, birthplace of the famous Shakespeare and The Beatles. The capital is London and is on the River Thames. It is home of Parliament, Big Ben and the 11th century Tower of London. The Kingdom of England was a sovereign state on the island of Great Britain from the 10th century. One of the challenges in the activity was to blog about it so I am blogging about it now. Have you ever done the Summer Learning Journey please tell me in the comments below, thanks! Here is a picture and a link!

Athletics Day Of 2018!

Aloha Bloggers! On Friday the 2nd of November it was Athletics Day! Athletics Day is a day when we have sports like long jump, high jump, sprints, 400 meter run and shot-put! Long jump is when we have a long pit of sand and there is a limit to where you jump off from. I came first because I jumped 3 meters and 5 cm. I love long jump because it easy to do! High jump is when there is a pole you have to jump over and then you should fall or land on a big mattress. I like high jump but I'm not that good at it. I came 3rd for the first time in forever and I got up to 1.11 meters! Sprints was also fun because I felt so free when I started to run. For the first round I was 1st! Second round I came second because my friend Amaya is so fast! 3rd round I came second again but I had fun! The 400 meters are when we run 400 meters in our age group like I had to run against 11 years old girls. I came 1st for it. It was really fun running the track and it was easy. There was two extras that were called fun run and fun throw. For the fun run only two people got do the fun run because we didn't have time to do everyone which was sad because we were timed. For the Fun throw we only got to throw a softball because we didn't have enough time. Have you ever done Athletics Day? If did please comment below. Hoped you like this post!
There are also some pics enjoy!

The NED Show!

Hey bloggers!!! A few weeks ago we had a NED show that was about how to be a champion. N stands for never give up, E stands for encourage others and D stands for Do your best. It was really awesome because the person hosting was doing some of the action by doing tricks with a yo-yo. It was really cool! Lots of people went Ooh! It was free because the school that went before us payed for us by buying the yo-yo's that they were selling. I bought a yo-yo called a 'boomerang' It is one that can come up automatically. I love my yo-yo, but the negative thing about it is that it is really frustrating is that I can not do the tricks well like 'Rock the cradle'.  Did you have the NED show come it your school? If you did please tell about it and what yo-yo you got by commenting! Here are some pictures of the day, hope you enjoy!

Interland

Hey bloggers!! Today I was finishing off the Interland slide and we had to post about it. It is a game about how to be internet awesome. I really love the game because it is fun how it teach's you how to be a better person on electronic gadgets and how to keep some stuff safe. It may sound boring but it's really fun! We had to make a slide about each four games and what it teach's you. Part of the slide was easy but when I got to Reality River it was hard to describe it because it's a sort of short game. Maybe you would like to play because it's a really a great game, if you did tell me how it was by commenting! Here is the slide I made, hope you like it!

Technology

Hi guys!! For the past 3 weeks we have been doing 3 different kinds of technology. The second one was that you had to make a led light light up. It was hard but fun, the part I liked the best was when we were planning because I could think of a lot of ideas for it. The things we could use were, a pieces of tin foll, 2 pins, 1 piece of cardboard and 5 paper clips. It was a challenge for all of us because lots of people got frustrated. Here is a picture of what we made! Hope you like them, also please comment!

Cross County

Hey Bloggers! Week 2 was cross county and it was great! I love running but sometimes I hate running because when it's a huge run it's really tiring. The year 6's had to lead the games or help and encourage the younger ones to run. I was one of the people that had to help the little ones. Finally it was the year 6's turn to run. It was frighting but fun, it was about 2 Km and I came 2nd! My friend Amaya came 1st and I was happy for her. It was a great day, if you would like to see my friend's blog, click her name. Here are some pictures of the day, hope you like them and if you do please comment!

Getting ready!

Tiritiri Matangi

Bloggers hello! Last week Tiritiri Matangi is where we went. Tiritiri is a sanctuary for endemic animals like, takahe and tuatara. We first went on a bus for 15-20 minutes and then on a ferry 
for 70 minutes. 

We saw a lot of birds like the NZ wood pigeon, it was really big and fat.  It took a long time 
for us to get to the top at the light house but we made it. It was tiring walking up. 

When we got up to the top we had lunch then a scavenger hunt was what we had. After the 
scavenger hunt we asked questions about the island and animals. 

We walked down to the hill to the beach and explored till the ferry arrived. When we got in 
the ferry I was sad because I really like that island. 

I learned that there is 1% of takahe left in New Zealand and that some of the  NZ wood pigeons 
are too fat to fly that is why they don't move so much. 

I hope one day you will see the wonders of Tiritiri Matangi.
