Dress up day

This week in Te Ngahere  the whole of Paihia School dressed  up as whatever
they wanted to dress up as. I was dressed up as a demon and  so was my friend Tia .

So  far it has been an awesome day!

Here are some photos

Energise

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about healthy food and bad food.

Whaea Gina came in yesterday to teach us about how much sugar is in fizzy drinks and it was pretty surprising.

We had these traffic lights to explain if these drinks are good.

Green meant we should have it  everyday, orange meant once a week and red meant once a month or never.

That information really helped me notice I shouldn't always have a fizzy drink.

When I get money I should only have one for a treat every once in a while.

Basket ball

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about basketball skills.
Our coach was Mr. Lindsay.  
We had to get in lines of three in my group was Bella and Tia.
So far he taught us about dribbling the ball.
 When we got used to dribbling with one hand we would change.
I need to work on dribbling the ball a bit slower.
I enjoyed learning a bit more about basketball it was really fun.

Ukulele lessons

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about the ukulele.
Our ukulele teacher was Alison she is from Ireland.
Bella, Jack and I had the same color ukulele.
A bright yellow. Alison is going to be our ukulele teacher for 5 weeks every Wednesday.
I really enjoyed Alison teaching me a bit more about the ukulele.
I need to work on  getting in beat with the other ukuleles.

Maromaku

On Friday some of Paihia School went to Maromaku. Maromaku is a big tournament were you could play netball , rugby and rippa rugby. I played Netball. In my Netball team was Tia , Bella, Astin, Reitu , Saffyre and Taleisha. We only won two games in the whole thing because we were playing year ⅞ . We were at the tournament for 4 and a half hours and we had five games. Every weekend so far we have won our games so that was a good challenge our team did very well was an awesome day.

Reading

In Te Ngahere  we have been learning about the ngahere. We had to choose either a bird ,
insect  or a tree to learn about. First I chose the Takahe and my first buddy was Jamie and Izaiah F. Then I chose the short tailed bat my buddy was Jamie. I think we did well at collaborating to get info about our bird and bat. I need to work on not social talking with other pairs.
Overall it was really cool here are my two presentations.

Passion project

In Te Ngahere  the year 6s have learnt about our passion project.
A passion project is something we are  passionate about.
We learnt about music and how to put beats together.
We all loved music and we like listen to music everyday so
I was pretty glad I was learning about  music! So I was in a group of three with my friends
Bella and Rikesh.
We did well adding beats to make a good song.
We have to work on sharing the ipad because we did not do that well.

Here is my passion project
