Last Day At Hay Park School

Talofa lava Blog World,Its hard to say goodbye to this beautiful school. I would be filled with teardrops. And I wouldn't believe that today is my last day until I'm moving on. I would truly miss this lovely and special school. It has been a great opportunity staying at this school because it feels like home.  I will continue my journey but I will always visit this school. 

Here are some great memories from Graduation :

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!

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!

 

Country Study - Argentina

Last week and this week, we have been learning about cultures all around the world. We needed to choose a country that we didn't know about not even one thing but we needed to choose a country that wasn't pasifika and not in the western. I chose Argentina. I have a paper that has many information about Argentina. In my paper I needed to choose 3 information and put it in a presentation. My presentation is basic and on the last page it has a quiz for you. Fill out the form and see how many you get right!

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:

Stretching Time! 

Everyone is now listening.

Warm up game ( stuck in the mud ).

Week 6 Gymnastics

Malo Lelei Blog World,

this morning me and my class ( Scott ) has been having our Gymnastic session. Today's focus is Manipulate. Manipulate means changing, when I mean changing I don't mean by growing or changing into clothes, I mean by changing a object to do something that it can't do by it's self. For example we were flying the hoop in the air and catching it. I had so much fun in Gymnastics but one thing was so annoying that people kept talking when Kane ( coach ) tells instructions. One thing I struggled was doing a cart wheel. My teacher ( Mr Lintott ) forgot to take photos but all I could tell you is that I learnt many skills and tricks that is manipulation.

Week 5 Gymnastics

Talofa lava Blog World,

Today we did Gymnastics. Today's focus was spring. When I mean spring, I don't mean spring as in the season. I mean by jumping. We did lots of jumping. First of all, I was cold until we played a game name " Story Time" which warmed our body up. There were some parts that I struggled today which was doing flips. By the way flipping isn't my thing. I had so much fun today. Get comfy because you are going to see the awesome Scott class and some of room eight people doing Gymnastics from this morning:

Here is the AWESOME Vonairay landing.

WOW Look at Cicilia, shes doing a bunny hop into a straddle!

Week 5 Hockey

Hello again blog world,

Today we had our week 5 session of Hockey. We mainly just played a Hockey game but our coach sent people out of the game. There was a reason why and that reason has helped us a lot . There were reasons that he sent us out, such as not letting the Hockey stick fly off the ground. Also not getting our fast feet in the way. When I mean by getting the fast feet in the way, I mean when we are playing we have to make sure that we are hitting the ball with the stick and not getting the ball stick to our feet. Get comfy because you are going to see some awesome actions from this morning's hockey session:

This is Scott Class playing Hockey.

Here are the girls who is trying to get the ball to the other side so that they can score!

Here comes Scott Class again. They are still playing the game and yet the girls and the boys haven't score.

We learnt so much about Kiwiana. I was so thrilled to learn new things. As I heard about Kiwiana and things that were made in New Zealand, I felt like my brain was full with Kiwiana. We also had the two amazing Pee'ana and Tui doing the silly dance of the Gumboot song. Here are some photos from our Assembly so get comfortable and enjoy!

Gymnastics Week 3

Talofa lava Blog World,

Today in Scott Class we had our week 3 session of Gymnastics!!! Today's focus was landing. If you don't land in a good position you could hurt your body real bad ( so be careful ). And OMG Kane did the splits and most of us was struggling. Kane is a very flexible young man. Most of the positions and the tricks were tricky for Scott Class. It was good to learn about landing because if we didn't know then we would fall when we are doing things like jumping, we might fall when we get to the floor. Check out the fantastic Scott Class doing some positions and tricks :

Here is the Beat Board when you would jump and land on the blue mat.

This is the vault where you would jump and land and do a half turn on the blue mat.

WOW Look at Cicilia tucking so tight and Kane lifting her up.

OMG Look at Vaidkia stretching. Can anyone do this? Reaching your head to your feet.

Week 2 Chess

Talofa lava Blog World,

Yesterday half of the school learnt how to play chess. I was to excited because I didn't know how to play. I learnt that the game chess was invented in India the 6th century, apparently the king in India had a war to go to but he was so lazy that he ask his servants to make a game for him that he could play. In chess there is 32 pieces and they were the eight pawns, two rooks, one king and queen, two knights, two bishop. The equipment you will need for chess is a chess board and those 32 pieces.  Check out these photos from yesterday's chess session :

This is Sherya, Manahal, Amanda and Veronica playing Chess. 

This is how you would set your chess board with the 32 pieces. 

Here is Jeremiah and Ash.
