For the past two terms we started focusing on diwali. Diwali is a celebration between light and dark. So for my inquiry group we made diyas. We made them so we could keep a little fake candle light in our diyas. 

We made them out of clay and let them dry for a couple of days. After they dried we painted over them with a white paint and let them dry again. When they were finished we painted them with a bright colour then did all kinds of different patterns and shapes on them.

Sadly most unfortunately my diya broke because I accidentally dropped it. I was devastated  bv

Monday – We had PE , Literacy , basketball prac and Maths. In Literacy we did hand writing and when it was break time we played Kia o Rahi. PE I did basketball

My week at school on Monday we had a rainy break. We had to stay inside and we had choices to choose from. We could do Just dance , end ball , bball , netball , and last card. I choose to do end ball. 

Tuesday we had another rainy break. We started with literacy for the morning, then at 10am we did sports. We could ethier do the same as yesterday.  Then we had an inquiry lesson after the 2nd break. We spent most of our inquiry time on Pacifica.  a group in my class (tangaroa) practised pacifica during some of our inquiry time.

Wednesday I had pacifica practice and showed my pacifica teachers my solo kuki dance. We also tried on our lavas for our pacifica performance coming up. We also had tuhono practice after school from 3.15pm to 4.15pm. 

Thursday morning we had kapahaka. In kapahaka we did our Usual , We practised our brackets and our actions. We also Tech. For tech I had maker space. In Maker space I made a game that’s called a steady hand game.

Friday winter sport is canceled because it has been raining all week and the fields would be wet. Also for choice and challenge our group got canceled because of the rain. 

RISE – I showed integrity because i did everything i was asked without having a little sook about it.

kia ora today we did choice and challenge. For choice and challenge I was teaching little kids on how to play touch. We had a lot of fun and scored heaps of tries against the other team.

We also had cross country today. I ran around three laps around my whole school?  I think I got into zones because I came 5th I think.

Today in math we did a column graph, The column graph was about drinks. The drinks were Fizzy , juice and water. For Fizzy the amount of girls that chose Fizzy were  7 and the number of boys is 6.

Juice for girl was 7 and for the boys it was 7 as well. For water it was just 2 boys and 0 girls.

This week  I had Kapahaka, Pacifica, Crt, Tech and Choice and Challenge kapahaka is every Thursday morning. Kapahaka was pretty fun! We did are usual routine like singing waiatas and doing actions.

Tech is also on a Thursday morning so straight after Kapahaka we have our break and then go to tech. Tech was pretty interesting, we did robotics so me and my partner Nyah had to make

Pacifica is on a Wednesday afternoon. We do our basics like singing doing our sasa and learning new actions.

Crt (cool rise teachers) Is always every second week on Thursday. This week for Crt was good I guess, we were drawing some people doing things like playing basketball or talking to each other.

Choice and challenge Is on a Friday morning. it was okay because we only got kid but that’s alright. We did court games which was fun. I showed integrity bye being at the right place at the right time.

This week of term 1 has been pretty good because I had pasifika, Kapahaka and tech this week.We are learning a new waiata called “ko Te waipounamu” in kapahaka. For me Te waipounamu is a very easy waiata to learn and the actions are pretty easy.

We do pasikica on Wednesday afternoons. Also were learning a new sasa in pasifika , The sasa is a Tongan version of our regular sasa which is Samoan.

Tech was pretty fun this week but it was also kinda challenging to make this thing? i forgot what it’s called but basically i had to collect all these parts and try to build them together and make the objects on top spin around.

There’s a safety sign saying “No jumping” and there’s two girls jumping off something .

There is a guy getting pushed in the water 

1.  the guy probably can’t swim?  
2. Is it maybe too shallow for him?  
3. His clothes could probably way him down? 

There a girl that looks like she’s jumping off a tree into shallow water? 

1. she could get really bad ground shock.
2. She could hurt the person underneath her.
3. She could hurt herself.

There’s someone fishing?

1. Their hook could hook on to someone’s foot. 

Here is a few safety tips for being in the water.

1.  Always be careful of the water , if you think you aren’t really a good swimmer I would suggest for you to wear a life jacket.

2. Always watch out where you are swimming because it could be shallow or dangerous.

3.  If you’re going to the beach I would suggest that you do not go out so far just because you could drown.

4. make sure before you jump in the water that its not to shallow or to deep.
