Fizzy drinks

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about healthy foods. Whaea Gina came to tell us what kind of drinks to have or what kind of food to eat. I was a little bit surprised because Whaea Gina was talking about how much sugar there is in a fizzy drink. So she said there was ten tea spoons of sugar in a fizzy drink but people like me are only allowed five tea spoons of sugar a day.

Duffy assembly

Yesterday we had our first Duffy school assembly. A character named Zinkie from the book called the Dream Catcher came to Paihia school to give out free books so we can read them in class and at home. Then she said she will give good students a one million dollar signature only if we answer the questions. I learnt that we always have to read and don’t play on games. Then we said goodbye and she went back home. When we went back to class, we read our new books. It was so fun.

Cross country

In Te Ngahere last week on Thursday the 4th Paihia School had cross country. It was so cool at cross country because I got a free hotdog. It was so yummy. When It was my turn to race, first we had to get on the line then secondly we had to get ready for our race. Finally the teacher said go. Then I ran and ran. I never stopped. I came fourth and made it into Inter-School Competition.

Making bee's wax wraps

In Te Ngahere we have been making beeswax wraps. It was fun because we got a square piece of fabric and then coloured it in. It was fun as and then after all of that we had to dip it into wax. It smelled like honey. I did well at waiting for my turn and I enjoyed drawing on my fabric. What I could better next time is draw better.

In Te Ngahere we have been setting goals for this term. I had to pick two subtraction and addition goals
(strategy), one algebra goal and two knowledge goals. I did well by setting goals that I need to learn.
  I enjoyed making the words fancy and the background.

Forest descriptions

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about descriptive writing. We had to write a descriptive writing for the Ngahere. Heres my writing about the forest. A sound of a nice big brown owl. Stepping on the sloppy mud almost about to slip. A fresh smell of a beautiful rose. The big loud storm crashing into the trees. A big kauri tree waving at everybody. A fresh nice beautiful smell of a daise.

My pepeha

For two weeks we have been learning to say our pepeha, I enjoyed sharing my pepeha with other people. I enjoyed sharing where I am from and what my iwi is. Next time we do this I think I need more information about my family and to show where I am from.
