Cross country

On the 3rd of September the 8 year old and over went to Rutherford to do cross country. When we got there we had to sit in our age and our house groups.I was extremely nervous I was in Kauri (The Blue house and the best house).

When it was my turn I was coming in the top ten until I was up the very top of the hill.  My legs where pounding. I finished and I came 15th place. I really think running the block really paid of, I was so proud of myself.

Calender Art

In He Puna Pumanawa we have been making chameleons for our calender art. This is my chameleon. It took me about one week to make. What do you think?

In class we have been imanaging creating and inovating while making line art. 

This is my art  it only took me a couple of days to make.

My art represents my creativaty and stuff I love.

I got the idea of the bridges of Zoe but turend it into my peace of art.😊

The museum

On Friday the 17th of May He Puna Pumamawa and He Puna Kawenga went to the museum. The first thing He Puna Pumamawa did was go into the star dome. We learnt the matariki contsalation  has 1000 stars but we can only see 6 or 7. We learnt that the blue stars are the young stars and the red and orange stars are the old stars There is a constalation called the toutoru it is three stars in a straight line the Puanga star is directly above toutoru we also leant that there is a poem about stars. The  museum was so fun.

                                       This is the poem: 
                       White and blue are young and new, 
                             red and gold are old and cold.

Growth mindset

In He puna pumanawa we have been talking about Growth mindsets so we decided to make some Growth mindset posters. My one says...If you quit once, it becomes a habit, so don`t quit.

Ballet

On the 19th of March the Senior half of the school went to the Royal NZ Opera House to watch some people do ballet. There where three dances. My favourite dance was the the last one because it had a combo of all of the dances and because there where people using tamberines. I loved all the dances but I liked the last one the best.

Swimming

This term we have been trying to improve on our swimming skills. 

I have been wanting to get better at breaststroke and Freestyle. The reason why need to get better at breaststroke is because I still move my legs at the wrong time. I need to get better at freestyle because I sometimes  touch the ground and don't put my head under the water.

I'm good at dolphin dive and back stroke because when we have free swim I always practise them, well most of the time. I'm also good at them because I practise them when we do relays and when Miss Candish does swimming groups.
