Te Reo

 In week 4 Te Ngahere have been learning about how to ask a question and answer a question in Te Reo Maori. When I finished learning about that my babbie Imogen and I made a slideshow asking each other a question and answering the question. We had to take photos of 10 items in the classroom off the ipad. Then we had to add it to our slide show and add speech bubbles asking and answering the questions. After that we had to screencastify the slideshow while we were talking.

Cross Country.

This Friday week 6, all of Paihia School students are competing in the Paihia School cross country at Bled sloe Domain. We have been practising most days at our school on the field. I am so  impressed with my time because last week on Thursday my time was 12.14 and on Friday I got 12.08. I am looking forwards to this Friday because I want to make it in the finals at Waikare.

Orientation Day

This Thursday the year 8s are going to visit Bay Of Island Collage for orientation day. We all can't wait to meet other people from different schools. Some people are nervous  to go because once you walk into Bay Of Island College it is huge. The reason how I know its huge because there were 4 students from Bay Of Island College that came to Paihia School to talk with the year 8s about Bay. There was someone that talked about how huge it was. Hopefully I met heaps of people because once we start next year I could hang out with them. I have also got lots of cousins and one big sister that goes there, so I could hang out with them too.

Science Fair

For the past Eight weeks Te Ngahere has been learning about science experiments. We had a choice to be in groups, my group was Nikara, Breeze and Mihipeka. Our experiment was which pen brand lasts the longest (PaperMate, Homebrand, Bic and OfficeMax.) Our pieces of equipment were the four branded pens, 1.13 metre paper, 1m ruler and another pen to mark. On the second day of ruling lines with our pens we started getting sore hands. Last week on Friday we had a science fair exhibition. There were judges that judged your experiment. My group and I came second, so we made it into the KeriKeri Science Fair. 

Cross Country Training

For the past week in Te Ngahere we have been training for Cross Country. We had to run two laps of our Field, Pump track and Court. I think I've improved my time from when we first started running to now because my first time was 8.00 minutes, then 5.20, and our recent run I got 4.54.  My focus is to try and bet my other scores. Next time I think that I shouldn't eat at lunch time because I always get big stitch when I run. My friend and I have found  ways to get rid of stitches while we are running.

The NED show

Today Paihia School was lucky enough to have a special lady named Nicole. She came to talk to us about how to find our Mindset and grow. While she was talking she was doing some amazing tricks with her yoyos, she had a lovely friend named Ned. Ned stands for Never give up Encourage others and Doing your best. My favourite part of the show was when she was doing lots of amazing trick also when she was doing magic out of the hat.
