Beeswax

Yesterday my class and I made beeswax wraps. My friends Boombe, Keekee and I went first. We got given this little sheet, then we were allowed to draw on it with vivid and felt. Once we finished drawing on them, we went over to our whare kai because that is where the beeswax was. We had to dip our wrap (the thing we drew on) and move it around in the beeswax. 5 seconds later, we took it out and let beeswax wrap drip on a piece of cardboard so it could dry. Once we were finished, we went over to our class and grabbed three people to go over to the whare kai so they can do their ones. The reason why we made the beeswax wrap was to replace plastic wrapping.

Ukulele

For the past few weeks we have been learning how to play ukulele. The year 6’s would go before the year 7 and 8’s. We have learnt like about three songs. One of the songs we have learnt was (Three little birds from Bob Marley) and (the lion sleeps tonight) they are really easy songs to play. I learnt the song the lion sleeps tonight in one day,  ukulele lessons is easy to learn.

Duffy Day

On Tuesday we had our ever first Duffy assembly at Paihia School. A character named Zinkie introduced herself to Paihia School, she told us how to do some moves for self defence. She told us that we have to dance to the fighting moves. Also she was looking for someone, so she can give out her 1 million dollar signature. After doing our dancing we sat down and crossed our legs and meditated. We had to imagine that we were on her planet. At the end of our assembly Te Awa, Te Moana, Te Tahuna, Te Maunga and our class had to find one person (or two) that had been really good in class to get two books in front of the whole school. I was one of the people that got a Duffy book.

Healthy Eating

  Everyday drinks,

Why: because it does not have sugar like the other ones.

Once a month drinks

Why: because there is lots of sugar in the bottle. If you keep drinking these drinks you can get

rotten teeth.  

Sometimes drinks,

Why: because the powerade has 10 teaspoons of sugar and the choc milk can be healthy for you but there is  choc flavor in the bottle.

On Monday we had Whaea Gina come to Paihia School to teach us about healthy eating and drinking.
She had three cards on the floor, there was this green card that means everyday, an orange card means
sometimes and the red card that means once a month.
There was this container that had a lot of drinks like, v, coke, mother, raro, water, powerade, choc milk, E2,
milk and juice.
Whaea Gina would ask some of us some questions and if we get it right we would have to put the right
drink where it belongs.
