turbo touch tournament

Turbo touch tournament 

 On Tuesday we had a turbo touch tournament if you don't know what turbo touch is you can read my previous blog post which explains all the rules. Anyway we had a huge tournament with the whole class. We got into groups of 6 or more then we told the teacher our group names. Then we started playing my team went first we were up against the Chigga team. We beat them, Then we went up against team Tokers we lost 2 - 3 my team and team Tokers are the two best teams in the class. You should give it a go have a try and you might enjoy it. I enjoyed everything but I think I can work on passing.

Swimming at the beach

Swimming At The Beach

On Monday Te Ngahere went to the beach for a swim. They could only go if they brought their notices back. We got changed at the pool and then we walked to the gate. When we got to the gate we walked across the road and made our way to the beach. When we got there we got into groups of four. We did freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke. When Gina said go we ran into the water and swam as hard as we could. Robert kept swimming out to sea so the adults had to rescue him several times. I enjoyed doing freestyle and breaststroke but I wasn’t really that good at backstroke. When we finished doing our lessons we got some free time.

Trip to waitangi

Trip To Waitangi

On Wednesday the year six’s went to the museum in Waitangi. In the museum there were photos of Maori who fought in the war, guns that were used  and vest’s of some people in the war. There was also this big circle of dots on paper and they had different colours and the colours mean different things. The blue dots meant world war one, the green was world war two and the grey dots meant wars in different countries and if they had a red dot by them it means that they passed away in the war. Then we got to see the new learning space and we got to make animations on scratch. On scratch I was good at making the backgrounds but I wasn’t that good at making the sprites move. I enjoyed looking around the museum and messing around on scratch.  Have you been to the museum before?
