Yesterday we went for a class trip to  Te Punawai - Ora Pools because we are getting ready for when we go to Matai bay and our camp to Aroha Islands.  At the pools first we got ready into our wet suits some people brang their own wet suits but the rest of the class used their wet suits and we got a mask and snorkel's  after that we got into buddy's of two we had to get into a buddy who you can be good with. Before we got in the water we got gaven a boogy board an then we got called up by Oliver and then we had to swim around then pool with our buddy and trying not to leave them behind after we got around we got to choose to go around on a boogy board or with no boogy board. Me and my buddy choose no boogy board. After that Oliver go a hoola hoop and we had to go under then we come back up and blow the water out of the snorkel and then swim around the hole pool.  Here is a photo.

Waitangi

 I.A.L.T reflect on our class trip.

This week on Tuesday we went on a trip to the Waitangi treaty ground we court the bus there. When we got there we hopped of the bus and Monika and Caitlin welcomed us in. First we went up to the learning room to had our morning  tea after that we went lined up and went for a walk around. We went to the Wakas. After that we went back to the learning room. When we got back we did some coding on scratch we had to buddy up I went with my friend Rani. After that we had some lunch outside then we went back inside and did more coding but we had to add our simbles I did an heart with a Koru inside it and Rani did a heart with a music sign in it. Me and Rani ended up combining our symbols so we drew a heart with a Koru, Music sign and little hearts. 

Heres a photo.

Kiwi Can

I.A.L.T upload my learning tasks to my blog and write about it.

Today at Kiwi Can we played bang. Bang is when everyone stands in a circle then when Jodicy says there name then you duck down only if your name gets could after they duck down you point your finger like a gun and say bang before the other person if you get them then you stay standing. The next game was colour run. Colour run is when Jodicy says a colour of the lines in the hall there were kahurangi, Ma, pango, paraone and porowhita. When she says the colour we have to run to the line if she says Ma we have to run to the wall and if she says porowhita we sit in a circle. If you won the game you get to pick the next game to play. The next game we played was traffic lights. Traffic lights is when Jodicy says a colour but in Maori when she says Kakariki we run if she says Whero we stop if she says kowhi we walk.

Sudoku

 I.A.L.T upload my maths tasks and write about them.

Today we did Sudoku for our maths task. First Mr Metzger cuts out a piece for you then you go to your desk the first piece of paper is 4X4 then we had to move only if you didn't get any wrong. the next one is sort of the same because its a 4X4 puzzle even on the next one. After that it was the 6X6 puzzle. On the 6X6 you have to do it with an buddy I went with my friend Ataahua, but we had to do it separate.

Kiwi can

 I.A.L.T upload my learning tasks to my blog and write about them.

Today at kiwi can we played high tide low tide. High tide low tide is when we get a chair and then Jodicy says high tide low tide, but she added eyes up eyes down. When she says high tide then we stand up or if she says low tide then we sit down on our chair. If she says eyes up we look up to the roof if she says eyes down we look down to the ground. After that we learnt the catch phrase: We are honest we are true we take ownership for what we do. The word for the rest of the term is accountability. Accountability is taking ownership for what you do, for example if you break someones drink bottle you have to go up and be honest and own up to what you did. After we learnt the catch phrase we played a  game it is called impossible connections. Impossible connections is when the kiwi caners put music on and we dance to the song. When they pause the song they will say 1,2,3,4 and 5 that mean's you have to get into a group of that much people and they will say a body part like hands then you have to touch each others hand. 

Here is a picture of our kiwi can.
