Rippa Rugby Tournament
Yesterday everyone who participated had to wake up early because if we weren’t there by 8.30 am we would be marked as absent. I had to wake up at 7.00 am but the others were still enjoying a good night’s sleep. My brother Georzen had to spray me with water to wake me up. when we got to school, I felt nervous at first but once we started walking down to Dunkirk Park, I felt more comfortable.
Before we walked down to Dunkirk park we all split up into 4 equal groups and each group had their own coach. The first school were played against was Panmure District School and they were very good but we won we celebrated by saying “3 hooray’s for Panmure District” then we said ” hooray 3x.” After that we said ” 3 for us” and we said “hooray 3x” after 3 more games we were all exhausted. Then we walked back to school and rested under the giant tree. We all had a great day.
Paris Olympics 2024
In 776 BC, the first Olympics started in Athens, Greece. The modern Olympics as we know today started in 1896. This year, Paris is hosting the Olympics which started 26th July- August 11, 2024.
My classmates and I in Room 6 have been learning how to make an athlete profile, design a team uniform and design Olympic medals. I decided to make an athlete profile on Regan Ware. He is 29 years old, he competes for Ruby seven’s. He was born in NZ, scored the 100th try for NZ and he won 1 gold 1 silver and 1 bronze medals.
And one more thing we did a drawing of our athlete with no nose no eyes no mouth no fingers no neck and no toes. It was hard at first then we all got used to it and it became a success. The artist we followed was American, Keith Haring.
My Taonga
Last term I made a treasure with my class. It was made of clay. I made the heart of Pagudpod, which reminds me of my family members who live there. After the holidays the clay was dry and I painted my heart black and green to look like a Maori pounamu. Then we glued them to hessian and put string on it like a necklace. At the end we glued them to a black background.
International Language Week
During this International Language Week, I researched my country, my culture and my language. The reason I love the Philippines is because I speak Tagalog and I love the food.
Compare and Contrast tortoises and turtles
Turtles and tortoises are similar and different at the same time. Turtles and tortoises both lay eggs on land. However When you put a tortoise in a tub full of water he will struggle in the water and could die because of its heavy shell. That is why they live mainly on land while Turtles live mainly in water. Turtles and tortoises live for a decent length of time, however, tortoises can live for 100 to 150 years but turtles can only live for 20 to 30 years. Turtles and Tortoises can’t breathe underwater although turtles can remain underwater for 4 – 7 hours. Tortoises can’t live much longer than a minute underwater. Both tortoises and turtles don’t hear much.
Our Wearable Waste Fashion Show
This week we were making wearable waste outfits from recycled materials. I was nervous at first but then I got used to it. We had two days to finish and everyone had fun, even me. At first my design was to make a fantasy car.
Everyday we worked on our creations. I used cardboard, paint, glue, tape and feathers. I had so much fun preparing and finishing my outfit.
On Thursday it was our fashion day and we were all so excited because we had invited all the classes to come and watch us in Room 7. After lunch we had to change into our outfits and meet outside Room 7 so the children couldn’t see us yet.
Everyone came and they cheered really loudly when we walked through Room 7, showing them our outfits. I felt really proud and nervous at the same time. It wasn’t about who’s costume was better, it was about the fun. I loved this week so much.
Why littering is so bad
What is litter and what does litter mean to us? Litter is a little or a lot of rubbish that people throw on the ground without thinking where it will go. So much of our food is wrapped in paper or plastic and when it’s left around it doesn’t look nice or be good for our environment.
Litter and plastic ends up in the sea and animals can eat it and die. We saw a picture of a seagull with plastic inside it. This is very sad. If I controlled everyone on earth I’d make them collect rubbish every day. Did you know that fish eat microplastics (tiny pieces) because overtime plastic breaks down into the size of plankton or krill and they think it is food. Many sea animals like seals and whales eat this!! This cannot be good for them or us. Stop littering!
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is 1.6 mill square kilometers of plastic. If GOD gave me one wish – I’d wish for every piece of plastic to be gone. I think God gave us our world, so actually we should clean it up so all the animals, plants and people can live safely.
