Summer learning journey practise

Learning Journey🎉💻

As part of our practise learning journey we choose a activity to do around a person. My fabulous person was Roald Dahl, if you don't know who Roald Dahl is then I'll explain. Roald Dahl is a fantastic author who makes a lot of funny 

children's books. He also makes up lots of words like . . . . 

Oompa Loompa,   Scrumdiddlyumptious,       Witching hour
Frightsome,  Gremlin 

Did you know that Roald Dahl wrote most of his books in a little shed at the bottom of his garden or that he was a flightier pilot in world war ll.

So for my activity I got to make up five words, her is a picture of some words that I made up. Comment some words you made up or would like to make up. What's your favourite Roald Dahl book?  Enjoy the rest of the day, Blog ya later!!

Bigfoot Biking

                        Bike lessons🎉😀

Recently we have been doing some lessons on biking. We learnt about skills when biking and road rules when doing this. I enjoyed going fast on my bike because I hardly ride my bike. Because summer is coming up more people are going to be outdoors biking so we learnt some valuable skills when biking. I think it is important to bike because it helps you exercise and stay healthy as well as having fun. It's also better to bike because going in a car causes pollution so this is better for the earth. Here are some things you need to ride a bike, a helmet with no cracks, a reflector if riding on the road, closed in shoes, no baggy pant and nothing else that might get caught in the chain. Here are some of the photo's of the day. Enjoy and blog ya later!

School pool

                             🤽🎉  Swimming 🏊🌊

'' SPLASH, SPLISH, SPLOSH!! '' Went the water tunneling over people. Recently our school pool opened, that meant it was time for swimming!!! Over the past week or two we have been doing swimming lessons in the school pool as well as some fun in the water. A lot of the time when we go in the pool it's really cold but as summers coming up the water is getting warmer. In our school it is getting hot because of summer so to cool off we are swimming. Personally I love swimming so I really enjoy going in the school pool. It' also fun when I get to play with my friends in the water. Her are some photo's of us swimming. Enjoy, blog ya later!!

Finally ... It's HERE!!

         🎶🎼 Choir Concert!! 🎤🎵

The time has finally come, we have done a lot of practising and today It finally paid off. We had our choir concert today and I went smoothly. We sang all the correct lines and everything went well. It was nerve racking singing in front of about 7,000 people, sometimes it was hard staying still. We had to stand up neatly for 2, 3 or 4 songs and then we sat down. There was also other music bands that went on stage, a violinist group and a music group. A huge thank you to our conductors Jonathon Lambert, Helen McGrath and the pianist, Ms Ward. Enjoy some photo's of the night!!

Athletics!!!

        🎉🏁🏈  Athletics Day!!  🎾🏉🏀


What's your favourite sport? This week we have been doing athletics activity's. Activity's like High jump, Long jump, Sprints, Fun relays, House relays, Tennis, Hurdles, Shot put and more. We have been doing a lot of practise athletic's rotations adding up to this day. My favorite sport was doing tennis because tennis is one of my favourite sports. Unfortunately I didn't get into athletic zones but luckily three of my friends got in, Zoe, Neeve and Abigail. I enjoyed this years athletic's, I hope to do it again!

High Jump

                                 High Jump 🎉

For our Friday athletics rotation we did high jump, along with sprints and long jump. We had 15 minutes at each rotation but high jump was the main one. If you don't know what high jump is, it is when you run in the shape of a curve and you do what is called a scissor kick, by lifting the closest foot to the bar and then lifting your second leg and landing on your feet. Each class went together and since I liked to (and because I wasn't the best at high jump) I happily helped out with the high jump bar. Enjoy looking at some of the photos of the day, enjoy!! Blog ya later!

Mindfulness!!!!

                 👍 Calming Lessons 🎉

Kia ora, on Wednesday the 30th of October I took a calming yoga and mindfulness class for the whole day. Both yoga and mindfulness aim to quiet the mind, in order to have deeper connection to an understanding of the self mind / body. They both teach you to tune into your breath, pay attention to body, and learn to accept reality in the moment. I also went with other people and I had a fantastic time learning new things. We also learned a thing called sun salutation and lost of yoga moves. I enjoyed living the moment and enjoyed trying something new and I hope I get to do this again sometime. Our teachers name was Stephanie. We don't have any photo's but we will have some soon.
