Reading Create

This week I had to write a poem inferring people on a topic that was a new begging for me.We were not aloud to say what the poem was about so we had to use show not tell.

This is my poem, Can you guess what my poem was about?

As I open the gate,the new year begins 

As I shut the gate,the holidays end.

Kids run in and  rushed away 

Kids walk by with a smile on there face.

With the end of Summer closing in 

Uniforms flow in the wind 

Uniforms flow over the new kids 

As the smell of new books and pens fill the air

I smile as my friends say hi 

But butterflys arrive when I step inside

The Summer ended with a new year to happen 

But what is to happen is not yet known.

As the bell rings it is time for me to go 

With alot of time to grow as I learn and show

 

Tough Kids

This blog is about Tough kids.Last week in week 6, the students that wanted to form Paiaka 3/4 and tumu 5/6 and all the kaupeka 7/8.We went to south Brighton and did tough kids.Tough kid is an obstacle coarse with 17 obstacles and a 2.73 km race.Some of the obstacles were climbing ropes,running over bridges,running through water and though mud.There was a total of 5000 students that ran the race.The race on Wednesday (the race I ran) there was 2000 people we ran in wave of our school so it wasn't to squishy.The first obstacles was running and then it was tires,then we went through a blow up inflatable.Next we went though the rope maze that lead us out to the mud an water.For the water we just had to run in open water.At the end of the race we got to go on a big slip and slide( This was my favourite part) then we got hosed down by the fire brigade.

Have you done though kids?

Sport :)

These past weeks we have been doing sport rotations on Thursday afternoon.The rotations we have been doing are Koftball,Lawn Bowls,Cricket and Softball.Here is my description on what we have done.

Koftball:Koftball is a sport that is played in Norway and it is a mash up of Netball and Basketball. At the start you get split into teams and you could do whatever with the ball and could go anywhere on the court. Gradually the coach added more and more rules until we were playing the real game.

Cricket: Was just the normal cricket you play.But we got into two teams fielding and batting.

Softball: For the batting we used the softball bat and hit the ball off the T stand as far as we could.For fielding we used the glove and had to try and catch the ball

Lawn bowls: I have not done lawn bowls get so I will update this when I have  
    

Have you ever played one of these sports before?

This week I am going to share my reading create.I did the same goal as last week witch is Make connections between other texts and general knowledge to expand meaning and pose questions, using more sophisticated texts. I had to pick out of reading eight articles they were Holi, Christmas in Columbia, A traditional Irish Sport, Scotland, Hanukkhah Saint Andrews Day,Thanksgiving, The kilt  Holi. I choose to read  Thanksgiving. We had to reflect on this by answering  some questions -

This is my work - 

Attitude

Over the past week we meet some people from attitude they came in and were talking about puberty. They also talked about relationships and how our feelings are changing.A fun facted that we learned is that you feet and hands are the first things in your body to grow.As we get older our friendships and relationships with our parents and friends can change.Since this is happening we can also get angry and handle this differently to what we normally would. We also did a few activity like we named all the changes that happened to boys and girls.We also watched a video on how the internet is not always what we think,we watched this video to know that we can not just compere ourselves to the people on the internet.

Have you had these people come to your school ?

This week I am going to share my reading create.I had to pick out of reading four articles they were Holi, Christmas in Columbia, A traditional Irish Sport, Scotland, Hanukkhah I choose to read  Christmas in Columbia. We had to reflect on this by answer some questions like -

What I already know about this topic - In Colombia Christmas is a big thing.It’s probably a lot different then here in New Zealand.

 My new understanding - Christmas in Colombia is more about the religion  as in Colombia, 90% of the population is Christian. The Christmas period is one of the longest times to celebrate in the world.On the night of the first festival they usually light candles and lanterns in the streets and outside houses.The cities are also lit up by fireworks. Nine days before Christmas majority of families will meet up in prayer and have traditional  foods and sing songs.

New questions I have - What songs do they sing? What traditional  foods do they have? Why do they start nine days before? What traditions do they do 

Answers to my questions -

What songs they sing  Traditional Foods  Why they start early traditions they do

Do you know the answers to my questions ?
