𝅘𝅥𝅮 E Te Ariki 𝅘𝅥𝅮

In the middle block, we were learning a Maori song from Ms Maude. Every Tuesday she comes into our class to teach us Te Reo Maori. The song that we sang was called E Te Ariki, it’s also a hīmene or hymn in English.

A volleyball area

Today in the morning session a few boys went out to help our principal clear out an area. Due to the heavy rain our field is out of bounds which is why our principal wanted to mark a volleyball area on the ground. However the ground had heavy logs which is why the boys had to go out to help. The fact that they were struggling was hilarious but I do understand that the logs are heavy so I understand.

Party pies

Today we finally finished the second part of the two lesson task. We spent a lot of time with the pastries but finished our party pies happily. I enjoyed making this as my partner helped me finish up a lot of things. Since I had the same initials as someone else in the kitchen I wrote a X.

🍕 Pizza for winter blogging 🍕

Today Miss Collins shouted pizza for our class to eat for lunch. Three out of the four children completed the Winter Learning Journey which is why we got the pizza. The Winter Learning Journey was mades so that everyone can continue on with their learning even though it’s the holiday. I didn’t do the winter learning journey because I knew I wouldn’t have enough time to finish the blogging since I have to look after my younger sibling and other personal things.

Rounding to the nearest tenth

This morning I was doing an activity about rounding the decimal to the nearest tenth. I enjoyed doing this activity as we’ve already learnt about this when we were doing our math. I also found that this activity was fairly easy because I understood when our teacher was teaching.

Football skills

Every Wednesday the senior side of the school play a sport. This morning we played football, at our usual time. Our coach, Steve taught us some skills on how to move the ball with your foot. These are a few of the skills he taught:

1. Control the ball using the outside, inside, sole and lace part of the foot
2. Use your body to defend the ball
3. Position yourself about a leg away from the ball so it’s easy to kick and retrieve
4. Refrain yourself from kicking the ball with your toes (or you’ll have no control)

I think I played pretty well. I wouldn’t say I was great but I do think that I did well.  Out of all the skills I probably could only do two correctly. Since it was our first practice at football i’m not holding myself down for only being able to do two skills, yet I know could have did better.

I think football is somewhat similar to basketball. When dribbling with the ball, in both sports it is advised to keep your eyes up. Also when you pass the ball over to a teammate it can coincidently it could just go into the goal.

I found the game really fun to play. I enjoyed it as it was a sport that isn’t played as much at our school. When I was in with my team, we worked really well with each other. I did get hit with the ball a few times but I still had a great time.
