The Coolest Game Ever

The Coolest Game Ever.

This Term we have been doing p.e. For p.e we have been playing a game called four way capture the flag but we play with balls instead. The rules are there are four teams and they have their own box if someone comes in the box and gets tagged by that team they are frozen and they have to get tagged by their team to be freed. If someone gets in your square and picks up the ball that team can’t tag him and the person with the ball can either throw the ball or run with the ball to there square and risk getting tagged. This game is very fun and gets your blood pumping. Have you ever played this game before?

The Coolest Trickshot

This week we have been doing trickshots with ping pong balls. The rules where we had to make a ping pong ball go in a cup using cardboard and it had to take 3 or more seconds from start to finish. For my groups trickshot our ping pong ball rolled down a cardboard ramp and then it bounced off the wood into the cup. It took our group a long time because we kept changing ideas and moving places but finally we stuck with one idea. Have you ever done a cool trickshot before?

My Awesome Math Eyes

My Awesome Math Eyes

I am learning to identify math in the world around us. We looked at a picture of gingerbread men and had to use our maths eyes to notice things. 

In the gingerbread photo I noticed colors, gingerbread, shoes, hats and buttons.

I learnt that everyone has math eyes. I tried hard to find all the math in the gingerbread photo.

Do you use your math eyes?

Thing you need to know about Japan

For my learning I am doing something called summer learning journey we are doing it about travelling. We had to read facts about 10 different countries, when we read them all we had to pick a country we would like to visit. I picked japan because there’s so many cool places to go and the food really is really yum. We had to research 3 facts about the country we picked that weren’t already provided here are mine. Did you know that japan is made up of 6,852 islands, also it’s perfectly normal to eat raw horse meat and 1,500 earthquakes hit japan a year.

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?
