First Week Back

I am going to tell you about our first day back after lockdown. We got the

announcement that we would be coming back to school and I got a little bit

excited. So on the first day back I packed my bag and headed off to school. It

didn't look different but parents weren't allowed in.

I went to class after the bell rang and went inside. The teacher told us that we

would be doing the same thing as lockdown. We got onto our work and opened

up the grid and looked at the activities on it. They were about our world and my

earth. I started right away and was going good. I started with the scavenger hunt

and the rest of my class did too. We had to go around the room looking for

answers to the questions on our sheet of paper.

There was also just Dance later in the day.  Just  Dance is an app where they play

songs and you have to follow along with the moves on the screen. After that

was Steps which is a website that helps with your spelling and writing. Along

with that is e-ako is a New Zealand place where you can learn all types of math.

We finished the day with a game then we went home.

Over all it actually was a fun first day back at school

Swimming Sports

Yesterday we went to swimming sports. I competed in all of the swimming strokes. The first one was freestyle BEEP the buzzer went and I kicked for the other side. I ended up coming last, but I didn't care because next was backstroke.

 

I went back to the grandstand. I sat there for a bit then went to backstroke. this was my best stroke which was a bit nervous for me. GET SET... BEEEEEEEEP. I heard the buzzer beep and set of for the other side. The water was splashing in my face, but I kept going and made to the end in third. It was the first two in which was disappointing I still did my best though.

After that there was breaststroke. I am actually good at the stroke it is just that I didn't know that before the race. I got up to the starting block and got ready. GET SET... BEEP!! I dived of the block and started swimming I kept going. My goggles started to slip near the end but I touched the wall and came out in fourth place. After that race I think I am starting to get better at breaststroke witch is good for my swimming.

That is swimming sports for 2020 and my last one at Wainui Beach School.        

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
