Family Fun day!

 Family fun day

Salaam Everyone! On the 19th of march we had a family fun day where everyone wore their house colours and we did fun activities at school! We had 4 activities, all of the activites were really fun. Some activitys included water in them so we had to bring 2 change of clothes, togs and clothes that we could get wet in. The acitivties were inflatables, iflatable water silde, slippery slide and wheels. There was also a bake sale going on in the staff room, so parents and students could buy cakes to eat! We were all seperated into our house groups to to do this rotation.

There was Pukeko - Green, Tui - Yellow, Kea - Red and Ruru - Blue. I am in Ruru who went to the wheels first, we could bring our own bike, scooters, rollerblades and other things with wheels. If you didn't have wheels you could use the schools bike and scooters or play with the magic play box. There were also other options if you didn't have wheels like the sandpit or bring a toy car and play with them. Eventually halfway people started going to the bake stall to eat some cakes so there were only a few people left but they all came back and most of them went to the magic play box.

Next up was the infltable obstacle course! the infltable was an obstacle course where you could race your friends and go through obstacles. This was only 1 of the inflatables, there was 1 more you had to go through after going through the first one. The first one was a big inflatable and the 2nd one was a small inflatable.

The pool and slippery slide were also good. In our house groups we were seperated in 2 groups, 1 group went on the slippery slide and the other group went in the pool, then we rotated. I didn't really like the slippery slide because after sliding I was cold waiting in line. 

Last activity was the inflatable water slide. The inflatable water slide had a pool attached to it so you will end up in cold pool. I also didn't like this because the grass got really muddy and it was really cold once you got out. There was also a dry bouncy castle for those who didn't bring their change of clothes. I think my favourite activity was the bouncy castle race. It was a really fun day, blog you later!

Tsunami

 Tsunami

Kia orana fishies! For this fridays post I'm going to talk about the tsunami warnings last week. Last week friday all phones recieved a message about a tsunami warning at least 2 times that day. People in the coast had to evacuate to the nearest hills to make sure they were safe. Some phones recieved their warnings on time and many others didn't get theirs until 1 or 2 hours later! The 1st time I got a warning was scary even though it was daylight the phone started to vibrate on the table before the alarm came. 

 We talked about having an emergency backpack for times like this. We brainstormed lots of ideas like having non-perishable food and big bottles of water. Most people in our syndicate didn't have a emergency backpack to grab on the go so we made a list of items that we should have in a emergency backpack.

Emergency Backpack:

Phone + Portble charger or Charger bank

Big bottles of water

Non-perishable food (Like crackers abd muesli bars)

Toilet paper

First aid kit

Umbrella

Batteries + Torch

Radio

Bug repellent

Entertainment (Like cards)

Do you have an emergency backpack ready to go for your family?

Lockdown 4

 Lockdown 4

Kia ora fishies! This was the 4th time we had lockdown so I'm going to talk about how we learned from home and what I felt during lockdown 4! I felt sad that we were going into lockdown because then you can't play or see your friends. To start off with, my favourite learning activity was in maths! It was a online worksheet called nasty-as problems. I had to write my learning in my book and then put my answers into a google doc. I liked this activity because it was long and challenging! I had to get up at 8am every day so that I can get onto the class meet on time. I skipped some google meets though. I had to get my work done by 4pm so I could be marked!

One of my favourite family activity was watching a movie together on netflix with popcorn and drinks! I feel happy coming to school because you get to do more fun stuff at school with your friends. I also liked lockdown because you can stay home and do lots of things like sleep, bake and try science expirements!
