Technology - Invertebrates and Vertebrates
Today we learnt heaps about Invertebrates and Vertebrates. We learnt about the different habitats of many animals too. I loved today's session because animals are one of the basic things I used learn when I was little. At the end we had a fun kahoot game to play as well. I place 3rd but I still had a phenomenal time.

Gymnastic Session
It was a cold day, raining as my class and I traveled to our class hall for our gymnastics session. It was such a cool experience for me because when it comes to sports , I'm not that kinda flexible person. I learnt so much things, such as a tuck-sit, Motorbike Landing, Angry Cat, Happy Cat, Straddle and the L sit. There was so much falling down and laughter. This experience taught me so much and I cant wait for our next super fun session :))

Mud Run Trip
I was super tired as my mum screamed at me to get up. She was like "Soane get out of bed right now or else hiding". I got up super fast feeling the pain in my legs and as well feeling numb in the face. I ran to my device and checked the time. It was 5.43 in the morning. I was a bit angry at my mum , but I just forgot I had a early trip to Helensville for our Tough Boy & Gal Mud Run. I packed all my stuff including, my dirty clothes for the run, some leftover snacks, puffed jackets and a beanie and so as some towels & spare shoes.
A few moments later we appeared at the place. My friends and I were at the starting point. I had a super fun experience running through the course and so as my friends. We were ultra muddy and as well as tired too. My friends and I ended the day off with a hot meal.

DMIC Maths Session - Percentage > Decimals
Today for our maths session, we had to present our work (Percentage & Decimals) for what we did yesterday. My group did pretty decent just miss understood the question. We went around well others presented their work. Everyone did a phenomenal job and our teacher was very impressed. Next time for mathematics I'll probably try to speak more loud in group discussions when it comes to fractions, decimals and percentage.

Statistics
Today for maths we did some statistics. I had so much fun and I had a lot of knowledge taught to me about statistics. I learnt how to find the average for teams scores and I loved doing it with my class.
Blues rugby Scores for 2021 season
19, 14, 24, 8, 9, 13, 16, 19, 6, 12 < Numbers of scores each week
Strategie :
Line it up to the smallest to the biggest
6,8,9,12,13, 14 ,16, 19,19,19, 24
Mode >Most Occurring = 19, More Popular
Median >Middle = 14 is the Middle number between
Add all together and divide it with how much numbers who had
Mean >Average Rugby Scores= 14.4

Table Tennis - Last Session Reflection
Today it was our last session with our table tennis coach. We played super fun games such as "beat the champion" and "Around the world". I learnt different kinds of hand positioning when hitting the ping pong ball. The backhand and the front hand. I learnt the 2 ways to serve and I basically mastered the rules of the game. Our Table Tennis coach taught us many interesting things and we are highly grateful. Our session was fun, exhausting and very competitive. We played our guts off and competed with each other. It was the end of the day and we all packed up feeling sad that our table tennis lesson had come to an end :(

Kiwican - Week 5 Session
Kia Ora, our Kiwican session today was great. There was some interruptions but we still got through the activity. I learnt some pretty good facts about life. Achieving goals was the main key for our session. We played a fun game and had to right down 2 of our main short term goals for school. My goal was to step up as a more responsible leader. Kiwican was super fun and cant wait for our next fantastic session.

My First Pause, Breathe & Smile Session
Hi there, today after our a mathematics lesson, we go into this super relaxing activity called Pause, Breathe and Smile. I loved every moment of doing that because it made me think a lot about life. I felt one hundred percent relaxed and also happy. Closing our eyes , hearing our own breathing and even smiling happily at the end of it was just so peaceful to experience. We did it a few times and every time we did it was just so good. Pause , Breathe and Smile is something to experience :D

Kiwi Can - Week 2 Discussion
Today was a pretty fun day. It made it even more better when we went to Kiwi-can. We learnt a lot of things and also played super cool games. We learnt the importance of why you should tell the truth. If your own friend tells you to cover for him , so he can go to a rugby game.You would obviously want to back him up, but to do the right thing instead of lying , always tell the truth. No matter who the person is or what the situation is, still show integrity.

Measurement problem we solved today
Again with another great maths session with our wonderful teacher. We had to solve this difficult problem about fences and the area. Mr.Simi is the main character in the problem. He wants the biggest space(area) to work in and to build his family's plantation. I suggested he could do a rectangle with his 180 m wire. I estimated 60 for the height and 30 for the width. I multiplied, and there I got the biggest area could add.

Measurement - Week 7-6 Non Unit Standard
Today's Math's session was super cool. We had to measure things using non unit standards. My group and I marked places so we know every metres we went through. We measured the width =223 and we measured the length =505. This was the perimeter of our school field. It was super fun playing around and it made me gain a lot of knowledge.
Thank you Letter - Sponser
I would like to give a big thank you to Reece painters for sponsoring our amazing prizes. I got beautiful puddings my kind teacher made for my prize and it was super delicious. I came 3rd but the puddings were worth it. 1st & 2nd got hampers full of treats. It was such a great experiment to go through during the lockdown and I just want to say one more time, thank you ! :))

The Treaty of Waitangi - Poem
The Treaty of Waitangi
Causing so much chaos
Lives have been sacrificed
For a piece of paper
Bang!!!
Shooting emerges
As Lives have been taken
Bunch of Brave Buff Chiefs
Come in as the sun awakens
The treaty has been signed multiple times
Though they know they’ve been tricked
This was horrible and highly unacceptable
When the Maori's find out it will be unforgettable
The signing carries on
On two versions of the treaty
If only the Maoris knew
The British were cheeky
The madness has ended
The scam is over
The British needed land
That's why they took over
Unlucky for the Maori
It has been a disaster
Which was better of the treaty
Before or After?
