Matariki!

Kia ora fishies🐟

Today I'm going to talk about the Matariki activities I did. Matariki is the Māori new year, where they harvest crops, fly kites and share food with each other. The syndicate did 3 rotations first was making fried bread with Mrs Jones only using self raising flour and water! 

We also did stop motion with Miss Daly, we had to create a scene or a Māori legend using play dough and colored paper then we filmed it. The last activity was making kites with Miss Law, we had to get stripes of white, black and red to draw Māori patterns using crayons or pastels. There were also helpers who made small kites to hand around the rooms. I loved celebrating Matariki it was really fun!

Cross Country!

Cross Country 2020!

Talofa fishies🐟!

 Thursday  the 2nd of July in week 12 the whole school had to participate in cross country, parents could come to! At 11:15 everybody had to get in their year groups on the court, then Ms Sands announced all the activities and what we were going to do. The first thing my group did was relaxing, we went under the tree and played on the playground. We also played fun games like jenga and ring toss! After we had done all the activities we played duck duck goose and did warm ups for the race. While we were warming up we had to cheer for the year 4 that were running. It was the year 5's turn the boys started first and the girls went 2nd. The top 5 girls and boys go to cross country zones but only the years 4-6. I came 5th place out of the girls!
