Blazing Task Masters

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning how to work together and communicate in our learning groups. We have started a new thing that we call task masters. We had to come up with a name for our groups. My groups name is called Ananomimasters we only thought of it  at the last second. The first day that we stated we need to find one gift, the gift that my group and I  gave to our leader was a drawing of a bird. We won for the best name and the other group won for the best gift. We started a new task master  a little bit back in the term, in our groups we was to have a runner  and a drawer. It was really because we were not communicating that is why it didn’t work well but what did work well was that I got to have fun with my learning group and that is what I really enjoyed when we were try to concentrate. We had to decided out of my group who is the drawer I got picked for the drawer and it was really hard for me to concentrate on what I had to draw but get this I was not allowed to see the picture and the runner was not allowed to touch the piece of paper. It was really hard because I was getting shouted at from the runner so I was getting frustrated so much that I was going to scream from the top of my lungs. This is what it looked like when the time finshed I was devastated. Can you handle getting yelled at from two people?

The Scary Tsunami During School

 Last Friday we had a tsunamI drill and it was the first time that I was in a tsunami. I was really anxious and nervous because I did not know what was going on and we were going to the hill behind Paihia School and we had to evacuate from School. All of the East Coast was evacuated. We had to walk up hill behind my school and it was very steep and there were children that were struggling to get up hill so I went to help them get up the hill. The children's parents were speeding when they where going  up and going down they come to take them somewhere else where there is no open sea.

 This tsunami was not very fun but it did not end up hitting Paihia and Waitangi. I was really thankful that it did not end up hitting Paihia and Waitangi because I live in Waitangi  and I go to Paihia School. I was having a really bad panic attack because I didn’t know where  my family was so I was crying. What will you do during a tsunami?

Crazy Facts About Roy Lichtenstein

 In Te Ngahere we have recently been learning about Roy Lichtenstein. We needed to find 6 or 10 interesting facts about Roy  Lichtenstein, but I found 12 instead of 6 or 10. I think that it is mind-blowing how Roy Lichtenstein can do the ben day art. We started our self portrait when we were doing our self portrait we  need to be quiet and feel the rhythm and let it flow through your body and let all of your feelings go and just focus on your art. What do you think about the Ben Day dots? 

Crazy baseball

 On Wednesday we learnt how to play baseball. We learnt how to angela our self and hit the ball. When we were playing baseball there was a backstop, batter, bowlers and fielders . The two skills that I learnt were how to swing the bat and hit the ball as far as I can. Number two is to catch the ball and put it on base one so then the person that was running to  base one is out. I had a lot of fun when we were playing T - ball. The gloves were very thick and leathery that I could not move my hand inside of the gloves. Our teacher was playing   with us, she is good.The gloves are a BLAST!!!.  

Would you ever have a challenge with the year seven and eight at Paihia School?

Crazy Mahi Toi

This week we need to finish our Mahi Toi (After about six weeks) I finally finished my calendar art. My class was practicing blending, continuous lines and using our shoulder to draw instead of our wrist. I had to go over it with colouring pencils two or three times to make it look like I put a bit of effort into colouring it in (and the outline). 

Could  you do Mahi Toi 100 time, do you accept the challenge?

Blasting T Ball

 Yesterday  we learnt how to play T ball. We learnt how to stand and hit a ball. When we were playing T ball there was a backstop, batter and fielders . The two skills that I learnt were how to swing the bat and hit the ball as far as I can. The last one is to catch the ball and put it on bass one so then the person that was on bass one they are know out I had a lot of fun when we were playing T ball. Would you play T ball?

ATHLETICS!!

I really like athletics because it’s just a fun thing students around Northland get to do at the end of the school year and l I like aughing over my fails at doing high jump. At athletics we do things like high jump, long jump, sprints, shot put and discus. Are you athletic??
