Maths - Carries Cube

    Maths today was fun and interesting, because we were given a math equation              about a large cube and figure out how many faces. Here is the problem                                                                   we had to solve...

We had to find out how many three faces were painted in red, in the picture. Mata, Danny Joe and I                                               worked it out using a model, made out of cubes.

For this Maths, we had to get in pairs of 3 and try use our knowlege to figure this out.

Kiwi Can

First day back to Kiwi Can in Term 4. Room 7 now have a new topic and Theme. Our topic is Respect and our Theme is....For Our School.

First, we done the Kiwi Can catch phrase for Respect. After that we went outside for our energizer. The rules for the game is, that there is two tagger sin the middle and each corner has cone with a title. The names for each corner was, Intergrity, Truth, Caring, Honesty. It was a fun quick game.

When we got back inside, we sat in a circle and talked about What Does Respect mean, and How to desrpcribe Honesty to others. After that we got into our activity which is Role Play. We were split into 5 groups. Each group was given a value of the things we learnt. Group 1 was acting out Apreciation. Group 2 was Courage. Group 3 was Perserverence. Group 4 role play was Fairness, and the last group was Friend Ship.

We end Kiwi Can with a game of G.K.Q.

Holiday

I had a great school holiday with my family. It was sad to say goodbye to my dad cause hes leaving to Tonga for a month to go fix the house, and im missing him already. 

The last few days, I went to the cinemas in Silvia with my Mum and my brother. We went to go watch 'Miss Peregrine's Home of Peculiar Children'. It was a interesting and an amazing movie how only peculiar people or childrens can travel through loops. Loops can be anywhere but it can take you back to the past, but not the presents. One of the perculiar childrens was in 2016 and he went through the loop and he went back to 1963. Cool right.  

The last week of the holiday I spent the night at my aunty's house with Sam and he's younger brother. Every morning when I sleep at my aunty's house, my grandpa is always outside doing the gardens. He planted Kumara and corn. I went outside and gave him a hand with planting the corn. So beside the kumara, in the middle thats where I planted the corn seeds and in the same time it was very muddy.

We only have two more days to school opens. Im looking forward to go back to school and complete my tests which im not ready for. :D 

Kiwican Reflection

Today was our last session with Kiwican wich is sad. When we entered Kiwican, we sat on the mat in a circle and first thing we did was play a quick game on G.K.Q. The game was all about the three topics we talked about through out the term. First topic was Goal setting. Second topic was Problem Solving. Latsly the topic we were focusing on the last few weeks was Perseverance.

After G.K.Q we went outside to play a game of Multy Sport. The Multy Sports we played was Netball, Soccer and Touch. Mr Numia split the class into 2 groups. One group was wearing non bibs and bibs. I was in group 1 which was the group with the bibs.

Kiwican is a fun progame for schools because they help you with what ever you are struggling through, turning bulies into your best friends, and they just make school a better life but young students to learn in. I love going Kiwican because we do fun activites like energizer and our activity for what we learnt at the beging of the sessions.

Softball

On Wednesday at school, Room 7 students went out on the field to play softball. Dora and I went to get the softball gear out of the sports shed because we are the sports monitor. We got out the bag of glove, bat, balls,helmet, and the bases too.

After that Dora and I went up the field with the gear and we have to to set it up. Next, our teacher told us to line up in our lines so we can do the teams. When we got into our teams I went straight away to get the ball, because I wanted to be the pitcher .

Later on, we started to play. I threw the ball under arm, then my friend Dora hit the ball over our heads, and she ran around the bases and she got a home run, but my team tried hard to get her out.  Then I said “Good run Dora”, then she said” Thanks”.

After  that the next batter up was Fraser. When Fraser picked up the bat he was already ready to  bat and I said to the person at base one “Alfred do you want to swap?” and he said “ Okay”. Alfred threw the ball under arm, and Fraser hit the ball so far no one could catch it. After Fraser stopped on base 3, because we will get him out at home base.

Lastly, Mrs Sigamony  told us “ Get the bases and give it to the monitors”.  Dora and I went to pack up the bases and get the gloves, balls and the bat. When we finished packing the gear we put it in the shed and went back into class. It was so fun playing.
