WINTER SPORT HOW FUN.

Playing in the freezing cold every Thursday in the afternoon. With a top, shorts and socks. 

For winter sport we had a choice of what to play out of: Rugby, Hockey, Football ( Or some of you guys might refer to it as soccer. ) and Netball. Of course I picked to play football. We had to have a trial to see what team we would be in. So we get to play each other and the teacher watches us and decides what team. A,B or C. A is the highest, C well you get to play, let's just say that. I got put in B with one of my friends. ( Gosh she had never played before and was she good) ( I will take some of the credit) (: I’m happy that I got in the B because it's my level. I was in the A’s  a couple of years ago and it was hard, our team got thrashed. But the team I’m on is good. We've won two of our games and coming close, sometimes. But seriously it is very cold some days.  

What sport were you playing with absolutely cold weather?

Or what sport do you play? 

If not what would you like to play? 

Dianna Isaac

Dianna Isaac 

What, where, how and why. What is Dianna Isaac, well that is so so easy to answer. It is where older people live. (There I have answered two questions.) There's no way I can answer how. We literally walk to the place. Why, how this question is good. Well everyone in the year seven and eights have a turn going down. We get to choose what to do. Games, balloon sport, art, cooking. ( There are probably more but I’ve gone blank ) I chose games, we got to play bingo, if you won you got a prize. It was really fun. They were so kind that they let everyone get chocolate. Even me who never won. ( The prize was chocolate by the way ) Dianna Isaac was so fun, especially speaking to the people there, who have seen the world change so much in front of their eyes. 

Would you go here when you get older? ( I would) ( Also I know that I missed when and who)   

 

Wow was the weather nice at cross country

Hello everyone I’m back, again.

 So I did get past the first stage in cross country. ( I got second, you would know that if you read the other post about cross country) So I did go to zones, like last year. We do it at the same place, I forgot what it was called. O’well. Each year the weather is so bad. It is freezing.    ( We do it in winter and we have to wear these singlet type of tops ) Last year it was raining like crazy. Luckily we were allowed to wear our sport tops on top or underneath the singlets. This blog post is not about the past, well it is kind of, anyway. This year the weather was surprisingly nice so I quite enjoyed my race, as in my fingers stayed on this time. I came fifth in the race which is amazingly the best I have done.  

What’s the most craziest weather you have been in ?

Reading. I like reading !

Bonjour 

Today I will share another one of my reading tasks with you again. In my reading session we got to read books and compare them to each other. As in their similarities and differences. The books were about New Zealand and in the olden days when the Europeans weren't long settled in to Aotearoa. ( For you who don't know what Aotearoa means. It means New Zealand. Aotearoa was the word given from the Maori )

Here is what I did.     

 

Do you know what language I said hello in ? ( Don't search it up ) ( Like I did ) (:

Another teacher strike.

As some of you guys may know there was another teacher strike recently. Wow the teachers want more money. No. But kind of. The teacher strike is about, spending more time teaching than doing paperwork. Like checking off all the students work after school they spend so much time doing that . They spend 40% teaching and 60% of time doing paperwork. You may think that is just part of there job and it is. But the amount that they have to do is too much. Or maybe they do want more money as well. 

What do you think about the teacher strike? 

Breakout EDU

Not to long ago the Googlers set up a breakout EDU for the year seven and eights. ( The Googlers are a leadership team they do coding and all that. All the year eights are in a leadership group. I’m in PALS. PALS stands for. Physical Activity Leader. You would only know that if you read my first post.) If you don’t know what a breakout EDU is. It is when you are with a group of people, in a room and you have to try get out. To get out you must open a case, but the case has lots of locks on it. So there would be clues around the room that involved  a story and the clues will help you unlock the locks you have a certain amount of time to do it in. In the breakout EDU for our group we had to do it in 45.00 minutes. We did it in 20 minutes which was really good and we got a prize. Some money in Banqer. ( Not really money, of course ) 

Have you ever been in a Breakout EDU? 

 Yes those are all of the locks.

Maths is so fun

Hola everyone 

At school we have been working on maths problem solving. ( Which is just a bunch of questions) We have to answer them and put down our thinking. Then we had to take a video and explain our answers.  Here are the questions that we were told to answer.  

You could have a go yourself at them and tell me your answers.
