2016 T4 Swimming

Kia ora Blog World,Yesterday ( 14/10/16 ) my class and other classes went swimming at Cameron Pools. Every Thursdays we go pools. We usually would go to the deep pool to test our swimming so that we know what groups we would be in. But this time we went in the nan pool. We start off with going into groups from last year. My group had the most people but it was alright. My group learnt to do different swimming things such as a arm stroke, kicking legs. For some of our swimming types was used by a board to help us float. Here are two photos from our lesson Yesterday:

This was my group. Learning to swim with hands!

My Highlight from Yesterday ( 16th of August )

Talofa lava Blog World,

Yesterday in school I wasn't in my class ( room 7 ), I was actually in room 8. I was in room 8 because that was my class for split class. Some went in room 8 and some went in room 9. And some went to a rugby tournament. Yesterday's highlight for me was doing a tech challenge. Our tech challenge was making a gadget that would reach 1 meter to pick up a fruit.  After when everyone has made their gadgets, everyone tried their gadgets and none has achieved the goal which was grabbing the fruit. One group was so close but the fruit kept sliding off.  Our gadgets was only used with paper, rubber band, paper clip, cello tape, ice block stick, earbud and a scissors. When my group tried ours broke. Well that was my highlight, what was your highlight for the day?  

Learning Conversation

Talofa lava Blog World,

Wednesday and Thursday Hay Park School has been doing learning conversations. A learning conversation is when students and their parent attend to a learning conversation and what you do is you have a conversation between your parent and your teacher but you ( student ) is doing most of the talking. You would need to make a presentation which records your learning about all subjects in school like Maths, Reading and Writing. We have been doing learning conversations because so that our parents know what their child has been doing at school and what they have been learning and also what their child need help. And what they need work on. Here is a presentation of mine that I needed to talk about in the learning conversation:

Meeting Andrew Nicholson!!!

Talofa lava Blog World,

Something very exciting has just happened this morning! As soon as I herd that Andrew Nicholson is coming, I burst into red cheeks but I didn't know why because I don't even know him. Until I searched up Andrew Nicholson online and I herd that he is a speed skater. And I was thinking to myself, OMG a professional skater is coming to Hay Park School and is going to be talking to the seniors! As soon as I walked into the library that was going to be the space of our communication with Andrew Nicholson, I saw a man that was tall, who was wearing black shorts and a t-shirt that said " te aha matatu".  Until he ( Andrew Nicholson) started off with saying a warm welcome. He also said that he will be telling two stories, one of them is going to be about speed skating and the other would be about cycling. I have herd that he has been traveling around the world on a bicycle in 123 days. The reason why he has been wanting to skate and riding on a bicycle is because other kids has been doing bad stuff which causes a lot of trouble and he didn't want to be that kind of kid. He said that he wasn't really good at sports when he was a young age and he was short until his brother started to encourage him and he thought to himself of wanting to be in the Olympics so then he traveled, trained a did lot of things to achieve his goal which was competing in the Olympics. Here are some photos of this mornings talk:

Here is Andrew Nicholson explaining very badly accidents his brother have been through. 

Here is everyone and Andrew Nicholson trying to go down without putting the leg that is flying on the ground.

OMG Andrew Nicholson is down below in a 90 below angle!

NED Show!!!

Bonjua Blog World,

Today something very exciting happened. When I was walking to school there was a sign on the window at school saying " NED is coming..." I reacted with a very exciting face. I was wondering why NED was all in capital until there was a show happening after lunch. Later on, lunch is finished all classes are line up and is very prepared to see the NED show. As I walked into the hall I saw a lady and a table which had a speaker and a jumper. I also saw a big picture of a boy which looked like it was drawn by somebody.  Until the show was beginning. The lady started of with introducing her name and the boy's name. The boy was name " NED". She started off with saying a story about NED and during the story she did tricks with a yoyo, and it was pretty AMAZING and COOL! After the amazing story. She talked about what NED stands for.
Never give up
Encourage others
Do your best.
I thought that the meaning of NED was very helpful, positive and very thoughtful. To finish off the show the lady did magic with a tissue. She put the tissue in her mouth and everyone felt disgusted. When she takes it out it wasn't a tissue it was a very long string that was colorful. Here are some photos from the NED show:

Here is Manahal with the lady who was showing AMAZING tricks with the yoyo!

Here is the lady taking out a long colorful string out of her mouth. 

Here is Joseph who won two prizes which is a boomerang yo yo and a red clip which can hold the yoyo. 

Dancing with Emily!

Talofa lava Blog World,

Today Scott Class and I went to a dance session, our learning focus was to choreograph a dance. First of all, we learnt to do the hokey pokey dance. Then, we did some warm up by dancing. Last of all we needed to make a movement with our first letter of our name but our moves needed to be moving. Making a choreograph with the letter you start with is hard until Emily came and help me so all I needed to do is learning the move. Then we went into three groups and did our movements together. Here comes the exciting part ... We PERFORM! When it came to my group I was a little bit shaky until I started performing I kept giggling for some reason. For our finishing part we were stretching. Get comfy because you are going to see what Scott Class and I did for our first session of dance. 

Here is one of the group doing their choreography

Here is another group doing their choreography and I'm loving their wavy hands :)

Here is everyone warming up. Can't wait to have our next session!

Week 8 Hockey

Talofa lava Blog World,

Today we had our Hockey session. Me and Scott class walked to Waikowhai Intermediate's turf, as we stopped at the turf, we were told three options to choose which was that we could do exercising or drills or play the game. Most of us chose playing the game of Hockey, so then we get to play Hockey. After sorting out what we were doing we started to get into teams of seven. Here comes the excitement ... Playing the game! Before I share any photos. We learnt to communicate by not shouting and we also learnt to work as a team. Here are some photos of the awesome Scott Class:

Here is Cicilia trying to get the ball into the goal!

Everyone is running and having fun!

Week 7 Gymnastics

Bonjua Blog World,

Today we finish having our session of Gymnastics. Today's focus was Swing. As soon as we all step inside, we all said " WOW" we said "WOW" because we saw a big mat and the beat board in front of it. Normally we just have a flat mat. When we started I wanted to start on the beat board for our big mat we had 2 options they were either doing a superhero ( when you jump you swing your arms and then land on your tummy ) the other options was diving and do a flip. Swing is mainly about swinging your arms or your legs. Get comfy because you are going to see some awesome photos of the awesome Scott Class:

Everyone is now listening.

Here is Sami spinning the figure 8.

Warm up game ( stuck in the mud ).

Super Sentence

Kia ora Blog World,

We started doing super sentence last week Friday. First we need to get into pairs so we did, my pair was Osana. Before I start writing more, super sentences has seven steps which you need to include in your sentence if you are going to write a super sentence. The seven steps are:

1. Add in words
2. Drop in chunks of info
3. Add on at the end
4. Add on at the beginning
5. Change words
6. Add a simile
7. Alliterate

For our first sentence we need to make this sentence ( The boy ran down to the river) into a super sentence. Me and Osana didn't put it into a sentence but we did the seven steps.

Our second task was to complete a sentence which was the child walked to school but we had to do it on our own. This is a image of mine:

I hope you liked it!
