Kia ora today I am going to be telling you how our week at camp has gone.

I really hope you enjoy the slides and please give me feedback on the comments

Interschool ATHLLETICS

On Wednesday me and a few others went to Interchool Athletics. 

My first event was ball throw I tried my hardest to get the ball to go as far as possible but the ball just missed the flag so we didn't come a place in ball throw but it doesn't really matter because we tried our best and had fun. Then it was the boy's turn they did really well and got our school first place.

Next was running, I didn't come a place in the 100m sadly but Charlotte.M got a place she made it into the finals which was very good because it was stiff competition.

Overall I think our team did including we came second in the relays. And I had so much fun.

Monarch butterfly show

 Kia ora today I will be telling you how we went to the monarch butterfly show.

Today we went to the monarch butterfly show it was really cool. The monarch butterfly show was about how butterflies are important to us and not to kill their homes.They told us that how would you like it if we destroyed your house's and we had nowhere to stay no food or anything.    That is how a butterfly would feel if we chopped down there home.

There were two ladies that performed the monarch butterfly show they did some stunts in the show and that was really cool. I walked down to the show with Alivia and naia. On the way there we saw a really cute cavoodle everyone started hugging in and patting it as we walked onto the bridge we started to throw rocks into the river and to see who can make the biggest splash.

Maori Language Week

Today I am going to be telling you about Maori Language Week here at Wainui Beach School.

We as a school are going to try to use as much Maori this week. Teachers will be trying to give us feedback on our learning in Maori. Today the whole of Moana and Nui got together and we sang our school Waiata and filmed it and put it on the Maori language week website. 

Our teachers shared a site onto the Moana hub and we had to select the written word and match it to the wons that are in Maori. Here is the link to the game if you want to play it...Maori week game 

Our teacher has already taught us some Maori including Kia Kaha which means be strong.  So remember to use as many Maori words as possible because this only comes once a year.

I believe that we should be using more Maori in school and I am looking forward to learning more Maori. We have the Kapa Haka festival in term four and I am looking forward to it because I have been practicing my poi.

I would like to learn how to weave, play traditional Maori stick games, and have a hangi.

What are you doing for Maori language week?

What would you like to do?

Shared kai🥯🍟🥨🧇🍔🌭🥞🍕🥪🌭

Kia ora today I am going to be telling you about our shared kai last Thursday.

Last Thursday we had a shared kai because it was Koka Terri's last day, everyone brings something sweet or savory Naia brought fruit kebabs and Alivia brought sausage rolls. We had the shared kai at 11.00 before morning tea.

At 10.45 some people were chosen to help setup the shared kai and exactly at 11.00 we started to dig in we were allowed to get one savory and one sweet and after that you were allowed seconds.

There was jelly, biscuits, chips and everything else the shared kai was so good!!!! After the shared kai hardly anyone ate there food because we were all stuffed.

Beach day

Kia ora my name is Lola and today in my blog I am going to be telling you about beach day.

On Monday we went down to the beach for PBL (Play, Base, Learning) and we got to make anything you want for 40 minutes.Alivia, Naia, and me all made a big as turtle. 

We started with the base we kind of made a big circle and then dug around the outside once it was big enough we started to decorate. ALivia and me went to go get some flowers and Naia was making the head.

Once we got back from picking flowers Naia had done the head and she was moving onto the legs.  Alivia and I started to put flowers on it's head as a nice necklace. After we did some finishing touches we asked a teacher to come have a look at it and we were very proud of our work.

Learning through play

Every Monday and Tuesday we do learning through play and it is where you have to chose one space to work in and there is four options like Junky Monkey, Cardboard Nation, Makey Makey, and Planet Construction.

Junky Monkey

Junky monkey is a place where there is two boxes and you get stuff out and deconstruct them. The first week I went in junky monkey and it was really fun Alivia Naia and me all tried to make a doll move without us touching so we used string to direct it and it worked out really easily.

Cardboard nation

Cardboard nation is  a city of cardboard where you make stuff out of cardboard this week Alivia Naia and me made a person out of cardboard we coloured it in and gave it clothes and we even made it move by connecting these golden pins to our creation. 

Makey makey 

Makey makey is a technology room where you create circuits and chain reactions on your chromebook. Koka Rachel will ask us to make a human circuit so we have to go away and find out how to do that we have all the equipment we just need to work it out.

Planet construction

I have never been to planet construction so I don't no what it is.
