Swimming Sports!!

Swimming Sports!

Today we went to the Enterprize Pools. After we hopped into the bus we drove all the way to the Enterprize Pools. I sat next to Josie. When we got there we ran out off the bus, ran inside and then into the girls changing rooms. We got dressed, walked towards the seats then plopped down our bags. There were 3 rows the first was for year 4s, the second was year 5s and the third was year 6s. 

After the year 4 girls and boys went, it was my year groups turn. Guess what group I am in. Comment down below. I stood up onto the ramp and got my arms in position. BUZZ! The buzzer went and we all dived in. At first I was doing pretty great but later on I was coming last! Well yeah. I didn't do so well in free-style. When the rest of the year groups finished it was time for backstroke! 

Like last time year 4s went first and then us. This time we started in the pool instead of diving. I gripped onto the wall ready for the buzzer. BUZZ! I pushed of the wall with and started to porpell my arms and kick my legs. I couldn't tell if I was coming 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th. When we got to the end I came 4th.

It was time for breast stroke but I didn't choose to do breast stroke so I waited on the side lind. I was there for about an hour before it was time to get changed. After that we got on the bus and drove back to school.

Swimming sports was so fun! I can't wait to do it next year.

My Most AMAZING Few Weeks back at School!!

My Most Amazing few Weeks Back at School!!

What an amazing start to the year I have had in Moana Learning Hub.

First up we have people bingo! We had to go around MLH (Moana Learning Hub) and see if any one could mark off a square on the paper. Some options were going to the moves in the weekends, gone fishing of the wharf and even if they could touch their nose with there tongue. There are more than you expect.

Our buzz groups! near the middle of the week we got given a piece of paper witch had different words on them. My one said porcine. We had to find 6 other people whose words meant the same thing. My group was group pig. Later on we did some games in the hall like running with balloons and building a tower with cups.

On every day of the week we have been doing quick writes. Our first quick write was chocolate vs cheese, our second one was cats vs dogs our third one was aliens vs robots, our forth one was ice age vs jurassic, our fifth one was invisibility vs flying and our most recent one was unicorns vs dragons. Which vs would you chose? Comment down below.

Our collaborative art! Later on we got given some tiny itty bitty pieces of paper. Each one of them had a different picture on them and I got given one with some berries and a birds tail on it. We had to copy the picture and draw it on a slightly bigger piece of paper. Then when we drew it on we had to color it in with pastels and sometimes blend.

Wow! My first few weeks back at school has been so amazing. I can't wait to see what my next few weeks will be like. I bet they will be great! 

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.

My Digital Life

Today I was learning how to remove the background from a photo.
I enjoyed creating all of the images on slide 4.
I found it challenging to answer the questions on slide two.
My digital learning object shows all of the things that  I like to do online.
Next time I would change how fast I work.

Quick write: My Wild and Wacky Creature

My wild and wacky creature has a long slim body packed with three layers of shiny blue scales that glisten in the sunlight.  It's see through spikes are as sharp as a shard of glass and as strong as titanium.  His fore strong legs have have razor sharp claws on the end of each foot that are as white as clean white snow and as big as a two meter tall chair.  His legs are different because he has the legs of a chicken. his tail is different to because it is not  a long thin tail it is a pompom.

  My wild and wacky creature has a two meter long neck with spikes perfectly lined up going down it's long neck.  His head has a long snout with jagged teeth and nostrils with smoke coming out of them.  It also has a long wet tongue with a split in the middle.  It's two huge horns are as yellow as the sun and are as sharp as mums kitchen knife.  It's wings has feathers as soft as a sheep's wool but as big as a move thertis tv and the color is light blue.  At the end of each wing there is a yellow horn only as big as two A4 pieces of paper.  The are as sharp as a giant pair of scissors cutting you with all of it's strength.

His eyes are blue when happy green when scared and red when angry they are probably as big as an elephants head.  It likes to eat pigs, sheeps and cows.  He sneaks up along the grass and then when hes close unuth he will pounce on whatever he's trying to get.  If his prey is flying he would fly a bit hide a bit fly a bit hide a bit fly a bit hide a bit until he is close anuth then he will pounce.  It's abilities are to roar, fly, dig, dive, make clouds and breath fire.  It likes to hide in bushes, trees and clouds.  He lives in an Australian jungle near a smoothly flowing river that once a day he would quietly go and have a drink.  And that's my wild and wacky creature.
