Back For 2020!

Hi i'm Robbie and i'm back for 2020 as a Year 6 (yes). in our first week it has been pretty cool with what the teachers have set up for us. Although I did miss the holidays, did you have a good holiday? Tell me in the comments. We have been straight back into the routine, swimming and quickwrites. We also did our time trial for surfing, I made it which was a relief for me.

 We got back into our buzz groups which means there is going to be some more teamwork. In our buzz groups we did a Tension game (we were in top three) and we did a balloon race at the hall. After that we did this game were you had to pull strings to make a cup tower which was a team building exercises . There was also quickwrites, which was Chocolate Vs Cheese. In all I had a good week back. 

Wrapping up Term 4!!

Hi Robbie here

since its one week to go

, I'm going to tell you about

my three favourite things from this term.

The first thing I'd like to tell you about is Athletics day. In the first sprint race I came 3 but didn't make it into the finals, a bit disappointing. In high jump I didn't stand a chance or I got out around the few people coming in last. In long jump I came fifth although I thought I could do better. In ball throw I came 4th although I hope I could make it the third place but yes I didn't.

The second

thing

I'd like

to tell you

about this ad Just Dance and Furniture

Olympics. For

our culture City

enquiry we've been doing Just Dance, as I dance section. We've

been going through different cultures and dancing to their songs.

We have also been doing Furniture Olympics. Furniture

Olympics is where the teacher tells you object and then

the group you want to try and make the thing.

The third thing I want to tell you about is the Turanganui (Kapa Kaka) Festival (the songs we performed and how it went is in the blog post I published earlier this term) I am in the second row 2 from the side. I think we performed well their. 

That is wrapping up the term . I really enjoyed term 4 and the rest of the year basically 

Furniture olympics

Kapa Haka 2019

Just Dance

Athletics Day 

Turanganui Maori Culture Show!

 Claps and cheers as Hunter started to sing tu mai ra. The nui syndicate were at The Turanganui Maori Culture show and were performing our kapa haka bracket. We did our haka part. Whakpuri Hunter called and the boys went to the back and then came together and sang Haramai a Paoa.

After Ka pioioi e  and Puri a Nei (the girls poi) we then did Utaina and the boys moved forward to do the haka. Kamu!... He! we said. Taringa Whakarongo titiro  mai ki aue,  He au au aue ha he!
We did thar haka and Hunter shouted, ringa pakia!... Wai wai takahia!... aaa Ka mate ka mate ka ora ka ora. We then moved in to Wainui e.  Aue te aroha! aue te aroha te mamae e ahai e. Then the boys chanted, Ru ana te whenua whatiwhati HI!

After He honore (the song for leaving the stage). I thought we did really well and the singing was awesome. Throughout the performance I think the songs were good. Over all we did perfect. Maybe not perfect, but amazing!!










         

The Haka (Utaina/Boys coming to the front)

Marae Visit

On Thursday-Friday the Nui syndicate went to the marae for a night. When we got there in the morning, we were welcomed onto the marae and went inside the wharenui. After that we went and did some rotations (activities). Then we had lunch, and made our beds. After that we had dinner and went to bed in the wharenui. It took us ages to get to sleep because people were talking and making noises. In there it felt cold and tight because every one was in there.

The next morning I woke up and we went for a run then had breakfast And continued with are rotations. Wai came next and my group walked up Kati hill then we came back and packed up then went home.

Writing Group

Hi, Robbie here. Yesterday my writing group did a workshop about sentence starters. We did this so we could get better at starting sentences in a better way. We went on to the doc, where we wrote sentence starters then checked them off.  Below are our sentences.  What do you think

Country Cross

Hi, Robbie here, I am here to tell you about my cross country run today and this was a different run because it was there all thing. We did it down at the pines. Cross country is were we have to race across land.
I made my way to the starting line. I felt really nervous doing it. " ON YOUR MARKS, SET"...   Slam! the race was off.

We had to run down the hill to the road, were we came to a turn and went up a slope. I ran past the cheering crowd. Next I ran up the sand hill and to the ditch. After a ran through the ditch I went back to the path. Then I ran to the finish line then did it again.

Finally I came to the finish line (again), I think I came 7 OR 6. I gave my mum a hi five and went back to sit down.

Enlightening Science

Hi I'm Robbie, back on my blog.

This week we are doing Enlightening me for our House of Science box. The learning we did was about how light reflects off mirrors. A mirror is something that reflects light. Reflections of a mirror is when light hits it. When you put mirrors together on an angle the image comes to more then less. When you put mirrors in a parallel lines the light bounces causing the Reflections to be infinite.  We got 2 big mirrors and we reflected a object, it came up over and over again.Our next task was were we got 2 big mirrors (Concave and Convex) Concave, in words makes the image increase, the Convex makes the image decrease. We had to find out which was which.

Five Facts on Light

1. Two scientist had an argument about what light was made of.
2. Light bends around corners
3. When light hits a prism it turns into the color of the rainbow
4.  Light is a white beam
5. No one has agreed what light is yet!

I believe light is energy. I liked learning about light.
