Ivy's Term Recap

Tabloids day

In week 9 we had a tabloids day. There were lots of different tabloids like apple bobbing, ball throw and many more but I am going to tell you about my three favorite tabloids. My first favorite tabloid was skittles. Skittles is a game that you either throw a ping pong ball or a tennis ball at three skittles. We had no skittles so we used plastic cups. My second favorite tabloid was sponge throw. Sponge throw is a game that is like ball throw and bean bag toss but instead you throw a wet sponge. You get a sponge, soak it in water and throw it into one of the three buckets. The last tabloid I will tell you about is gumboot throw. The aim of the game is to try to throw the gumboot further then your opponent's gumboot. And those were my favorite tabloids.

Marae trip

In week 8 we went to Te Poho o Rawiri marae for a sleepover. On Thursday our parents dropped us of at the marae. The people of the marae welcomed us into the marae and and talked about the history of Te Poho o Rawiri. After that we sat on the grass and had some morning tea. We had the food out of our lunch boxes. When we finished eating koka Teri rung a bell that meant we had to line up in group 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. When everyone was in a line we were told to go to a certain game. I had to go to hand ball first. Then we had lunch, went through a few more rotations then we went into the marae to set up our beds. We went to the place were we put our bags, took out our lunch box and drink bottle and brought our bags into the marae and put them at the bottom of our matrise. When we did that moana 2 and 3 set up our dinner tables. For dinner we had nachos and for dessert we had apples and ice blocks. After dinner we read a book in bed then did a performance in front of everyone. Then we went back to the marae and went to sleep.
