Basket ball zones

                         🏀Basketball skills!🎉

This week a bunch of talented students from our school went to Basketball Zones. The students went along with our two fabulous adults Bjorn and Ms Sands. All our students had a blast and although the students didn't get ranked, at the end of the day we were all still proud of them. They won four, lost three and drew one. Thank you to Ms Sands for training our wonderful students. I guess with lots of training and hard work you can achieve anything right? Enjoy some of the photo's of our amazing basketball students!   Blog ya later! 

Litter Blitz

                  🚯 Litter Blitz! 🚮

On the 24th of July Waikowhai Primary students went around clearing the streets of rubbish. With help from Z petrol station staff and Auckland Council staff and of course teachers, students and parents we all did a big cleanup. We each wore a small, bright yellow sash and a small, black pin / badge. Everybody had a blast cleaning the environment and once our journey was over we collected 200g of rubbish! Since we used a lot of energy cleaning, at the end we all had a barbecue that was DELICIOUS!
Thank you to all the helpers! Have a look at some of the photo's!

We also had to find golden tickets that were hidden all
 over the street

Novel work

                     📖Novel studying 📚🕮

Good morning bloggers, welcome to another fascinating blog post of mine. For the past two weeks our reading group has been busy bees working on reading all of our novels by the end of the week. Each of our reading groups got given an action packed, engaging novel. The first book I got was called ''Cool!'', by Michael Morpurgo. He is a famous author who mostly writes children's books. 

My favourite book so far is "cool'' because it was engaging and I was hooked in throughout the novel! My favourite bit was when Robbie woke up from his coma as soon as his dog licked his face. Some of the important underlying themes were to never give up, when you lose old memories you gain new ones. Last but not least, another theme was caring. I liked these themes because they were interesting and were unique and they were strongly related to my novel.

We also had to fill in two sheets of novel questions so the teachers knew we were engaged in the book. There are three links down below for the two novel questions and the one activity that we had to do! Well that's it from me, have a nice rest of the day and blog ya later!

Hockey Zones

                        🏒Hockey Zones🏑

Welcome bloggers, have you ever played hockey? Well I have, last Tuesday on the 18th of June a group of year 5 and 6's went to Mt Roskill Grammar for the Hockey Zones. We all had a blast playing hockey on the turf wearing our mouth guards. We lost 2 games and tied 2 game nil all. We each had our own important position to play and everyone had a turn on and off the turf. We practised hard every Tuesday and Thursday at school. We couldn't have done this without our teacher / coach Ms Lane.  Thank you to all the parents who came to support us. Our group was an awesome group, in our team was Cassie, Jamie, Nikhil, Ishaan, Faris, Rio, Demetrius, Peter, Apollo and me. We all enjoyed our experience and I hope I'll be able to play hockey again some other time! We'll that's it from me, have a look at the awesome photo's!

Vegetable smack-down

         🥕Our Vegetable smack-down!!🍆

As Spanish people say, "dar una buena acogida!" (Welcome back!) This week our syndicate has been working in pairs to complete a vegetable task. We spent lots of time researching our vegetables and when the day finally came we all had one minute to tell our syndicate about our vegetables. My vegetable was called a Butternut Squash. It was very fun and interesting researching this vegetable because it had some interesting facts about it. The most interesting fact was that Butternut Squash is good for health, including the ability to protect your skin and is good for your hair. Well that's it from me, have a nice rest of the day!             Enjoy my vegetable facts! Click here to see it!

Choir singing!

               🎶🎤 Singing practice 🎼🎵

On Thursday the 13th  of June, our school Choir walked to Hay Park School to practice singing for a concert at the APPA town hall. We were singing along with 7 other schools, Hay park Primary, Hillsborough Primary, Riverside Primary, Mt Eden Primary, us and 2 other school's. Our main conductor was a man named Jonathon (know as Mr Lambert). We also learned a little bit of a new song! For the concert we have to learn 15 songs, that's a lot of singing! Our singing teacher is Ms McGrath, she is very enthusiastic about singing and is a nice teacher! At school, every morning tea on Tuesday's, we practice at our school as well as Thursday afternoons! Well that's it from me, enjoy the rest of your afternoon. 

Reading Work!

                   📖Personal response📚

As French people say, Nous saluons le retour! (Welcome back!)  On Friday, the 24th of May, our syndicate went on a Climate Change March on Queen street. The week before we made some awesome signs and marched up and down Queen street. We wore bright orange beanies so we didn't get lost in the huge crowd! A couple days later we made a response document to reflect on the climate change march. We looked on a lot of websites about the climate change and one of the websites was called the Stuff article. My favourite bit of the march was lying down and shouting different chants because it was fun! Here is my response on the Climate Change march. Enjoy!!!!!
