School in the past and school now presentation

This is a presentation that me and my partner have worked on for about four weeks,this is about schools in the past and school now. I got most of my information from our Howick Historical Village trip. Next time me and my partner should try and finish more work.

Te Atua title page

For the rest of this term we are going to be looking at God in Religious  Education. God is a healer and blesses us. God is also our creator. The Maori name for God is Te Atua. 

Glitter art

This is kowhaiwhai art that I have made by myself together with our class. Reuben Paterson inspired room three with his kowhaiwhai art. I enjoyed glittering my art because the glitter makes your art look nice and people can enjoy looking at your art too. I found it difficult when we had to glitter our art because we could only pick one part of our kowhaiwhai art to glitter.

Orienteering Week 1

On a sunny day room three, six and seven were ready for orienteering and we were happy too. We had some people that came to our school and they are Mr McGivern and his friend Miss Irene.

Mr Mcgivern explained to us how to play orienteering and he said “some kids like us got lost in the forest because they were playing orienteering and were following their map”. So we needed to listen so we wouldn’t get lost.

We went outside into the field and we had to get in two teams. One team went with Mr McGivern and the other term went with Miss Irene. We had to run around the circle and find clues to write on our paper.

As the bell rang everyone was so hungry and tired and wished not to do it again but really they did want to do it again. Everyone went to class and got their lunch to go and eat and while we went Mr McGivern and Miss Irene went and had their lunch, but first they had to pack up the stuff so the next class could come.

A Haka Ma

My favourite thing from my trip.

This is my favourite thing from our trip to Howick Historical Village in week 5. 

Howick Historical Village

My favourite thing from our trip to Howick Historical Village was when we came to this big house and Mrs Dodd was there. She said to us “good afternoon room three my name is Mrs Dodd”, we said “good afternoon” back to her.

We went inside and we played a game so we got into two teams. After that we played the game and it was called the string game. We had to challenge each team, we were all jumping up and down because we wanted to win the game but the Lakers won. It was a nice game and a fun game too.

After that we played another game and that game was called ball & neck game. We had to stay in the same teams, but some girls did not like the game because the other person had to get the ball off with their neck and we were too shy. I was kind of shy because I was next to a boy but my friend Kilisitina was next to him so I was not shy anymore. I had a lot of fun jumping up and down with my friends.

Mrs Dodd said to us “we can have one more game” and that game was called squeak piggy squeak. The game was kind of the same as the blindfold game. We had to wear a blindfold and walk with Mrs Dodd and sit down in front of someone, and that person had to say “squeak piggy squeak” then we had to try to guess the person who said squeak piggy squeak. When it came to my turn I was so nervous because I did not want to go to a boy but I just thought that I am going to a girl and it was a girl and her name was Tokilupe.

We sadly had to go back to have lunch, but before we went to lunch we went and take a look around the house. We went to lunch and we all ate and played with our friends. I enjoyed myself at the Parlour Games, I hope to play those games again.
