School Craft Fair

 

While I was biking to school on Friday I saw a sign that said Wainui Beach School, when I saw it In my head I thought "what is going on today" I couldn't find out what was going on so I went back and looked at the sign and when I read the sign I thought "OHHHHH I forgot" read on to find out what it was.  The thing was...    THE CRAFT FAIR!  When I found out that it was the craft fair I was so happy.

When I got to school I started to think what I should do at the craft fair 6 hours later RING RING RING.  Right after karakia I ran straight out the door and grabbed my bag but then I remembered that the poster said that the craft fair started at 4.00pm then I was very very sad :(.  Then my day brightened we I saw that Kobe and Flynn were staying until the craft fair starts as well, and Flynn had his handball in his bag so me Flynn and Kobe were playing handball until 4.00 clock.

As soon as Flynn said "its 4.00 the craft fair has started" I sprinted like when I go into my bed after I turned off the lights so the demon doesn't get my toes.  I went with Kobe and Flynn looking for all of our other friends.  When we found them we went straight to the plastic blow up ball things.  When we got on there I saw Bjorn and he bunted me and sent me flying and I got stuck upside down.

At 5:30 my brother came and was helping the craft fair by being at the front of the bouncy castle 

ATHLETICS DAY!

“On your marks get set” whoosh I heard people sprinting as Koka Rozie clashed the two wooden blocks together.  In the end I only came fourth. I think I could've beat Louie who was in third place but then I would have to run again with no breath and no energy.  After the finalists ran we all walked to the ball throw.

When we were at the ball throw and I was sitting down waiting not so patiently Cash stood up before Rori did and when they stood up I already knew I wasn't gonna get a good placing but.  Then it was my turn and I surprised myself and I think I got fourth place out of every year five in the school.

Now we’re going to long jump my favourite thing in athletics.  I was last in line with all my friends then after what felt like three years to me we were at the front of the line.  When everyone went I was the last one and not all of my friends came back which means they must have been coming places.  I was running then Whoosh I jumped and went flying but not far enough to be coming to a place.

High jump here we come!  In high jump there was an option to jump or don’t jump.  At this point I was sweating my head off.  I don’t like high jump, one reason being I'm not very good at it.  All you need to know is that Troy came first.

DON'T BLAME THE BEE BOT or else!

 Today on the 24.8.2020  Honu did a instructional task with bee bots.  We wrote instructions and we made a maze.  Then we copied our instructions into the bee bots manual system for it to follow our maze from start to end.

It seemed easy but it was way harder than I thought.  All I could hear was people saying "The bee bot is broken." or "Koka Joe the bee bot's wheels are crooked!" and "Koka Joe my bee bot is doing different instructions than I gave it."  Then I could hear Koka Joe saying  "It's not broken you just pushed the wrong buttons."  

Then my maze broke because we made it out of blocks and I had to make a new one.  The good thing about making a new track is that Bramm had just finished so I could use the tape for most of the track.  Then it was about to go under all of the desks but I made the bee bot turn around.  I was relieved when I did it first try.

Lighthouse Metaphor

Last week the class RM4 did a google drawing about Tuahine lighthouse.   Here's mine.

Hope you liked it, do you?  

KABOOM

KABOOM

Today my class did a experiment. The materials were flavouring, citric acid, icing sugar, baking soda, paper bag, and teaspoons and popsicle sticks. When we made it we ate some and it exploded in my mouth.  It stung because I have a ulcer in my mouth.  How to make it 1 teaspoon of icing sugar 1/2 flavour 1/2 citric acid 1/4 baking soda.  By the way we made sherbet.  Cash and Cory were in my group to.👍

THE END

MARAE

The whole school went to Te poho rawiri marae.  Then we sat down on the dusty floor.  After that Jonas did this maori thing and I don't know what it means though.  Then we got to play outside with the balls and skipping ropes.  BONG BOUNCE BING the handball SHOT up because I did a high mountain.  DING DING DING the bell went off so we had to go inside the marae.  Then we had morning tea then after we ate we played again.  Obviously I played handball for about 50 minutes.  Then we had lunch and I played.  Soon we had dinner but before dinner we had free time.  Then we went to sleep and then in the morning please and some rotations my first rotation was weaving.

MARINE RESERVE

MARINE RESERVE

We finally arrived at the marine reserve.  I jumped into my wetie then we ran down the beach.  Then we hoped in the water.  The water had to get up to your knees before you put your flippers on.  When we started to snorkel I already saw tons of kina.  Then we went a bit deeper and I saw a yellow bumpy warty Nudibranch slug.  I also saw lots of clingfish and lots of crayfish nests.  I also saw 2 reef stars and a octopus leg on it's own.  Then I told fly I was cold so we went back.  When we got back to school we did kapa haka for wai. In 5 years I think everyone should vote for more marine reserves because they are beautiful.

Tairawhiti Environment Centre

7.8.2020

Yes!  The bus stopped we yelled pretty loud when everyone wanted the back seats on the bus.   As soon as we started driving me Neko Bramm and Olly started singing the wheels on the bus song "The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round the wheels on the bus go round and round all day long!" and so on.  

Finally we arrived at the Environment Centre.  When we walked into the back of the Environment Centre the first thing I saw was a huge litter free garden. Then an inviro lover called Kauri told us about all of the enviro stuff while I was daydreaming on all of the spicy yummy purple leaf.   

Then we went inside and there were bean bags with a bunch of plastic bottles inside them.  I didn't realise that the inside was bottles so I jumped on one of them and a bottle went cap first into my my back.  Then to top it off I smacked my head on a brick wall and then felt like I was about to get knocked out.  

Now we can eat the garden plants I went straight for the purple leaf and then Jackson showed me a plant that tastes like lemon.  I'm pretty sure Jackson spewed at home because he ate about 6 of them without flinching.  I was gonna eat beans but I knew I didn't like them. 

 Then we learnt about compost and decomposing and apparently it takes plastic 500 to 1000 years to decompose.  In compost you should do green layer and then brown layer and keep doing it.

My favorite part of the trip was eating the plants.  After the trip I felt like I actually had knowledge about gardening and compost.

Coming back to school

     When I Came Back To School

When I went back to school it reminded me about when I started school.  When I was 5 years old.  It felt really good when I was allowed to play with my friends.  It felt good to be in the class again.  I forgot what I normally do at morning tea and lunchtime so I just walked around the school until I saw one of my friends.  I couldn't find any of them so I just played soccer and then all of my friends came to school.  Then I turned around the corner and I saw Neko.  Then we played handball together.  

The first science we did was about tornados and all you had to do was fill up a plastic bottle half way and get another empty plastic bottle and put them together and then flip the bottles over and shake it and BAM all done.  Then it made a vortex.

This week we walked to the school lighthouse. It was really fun sprinting across the rocks. Everybody was slipping over and somehow I slipped over once or twice.  Although it wasn't that fun going back to school, me and my friends found a lot of rubbish and we picked it up.  Then me and Neko made smooth perfect mud balls.  They were shaped exactly like a ball.  I thought we were gonna go in the lighthouse but no no no we were not allowed in the lighthouse.

It was really annoying because I love doing PE but I cracked my ribs from my motorbike. Luckily I could go back up and go on the motorbike again sadly I can't run properly.

My favorite part about coming back to school was seeing all of my friends.
