chess tournament

Chess Tournament.

Last week, we went to chess tournament  in the hall and 2 different schools cames. One was Mangapapa and the other one was Hicks Bay. We got into our school teams and the man got the draws out.

Our first game started at 9.40am. My first opponent was Zebide, and he looked really challenging. He already started smashing me and at the end, he won. We had 7 games each, and I won 5 out of 7! I was absolutely stoked when I won my first game because I got a badge. 

We had prise giving at the end and the guy handed out medals and certificates. After that we got to eat and and have learning through play.

 This week we have been learning about olympics. We have been doing it in this little booklet and there is a alot pages. We had to do olympic athletes that were from Nz and mascots. I did chris wood because he is a famous soccer player who played for Nz and is the best soccer player in Nz. He plays as a striker for Nz and has scored alot of goals.

This is a photo of the booklet

Jaxons and Arthur's diorama

 The last two weeks we have been doing dioramas. I have been doing the diorama with arthur and he chose the most dumbest penguins ever. We started cutting the diorama and then gathered the stuff from the beach and then got a hot glue from the teacher. We glued the stuff together and let it dry. When it was dried up we painted it and this is what it ended up looking like.

My quick write

 This week I have been doing a quick write called list the buttons. It's really fun. You have to describe the things that you see on the picture and write them down.

Tell me what buttons you can see? 

Try to find the beer caps, the lego, the yellow red and green string.

Did you find them?

Little blue penguins

 This week we have been learning about little blue penguins and it has been awesome. We sat on the mat and the teachers told us stuff about the little blue penguin.

I can tell you all I know about them. Little blue penguins are getting endangered around New Zealand. We are trying to help them because every morning they have to get food for their chicks but there is a lot of danger to get through. Cats, dogs, stoats, sea lions, cars and sometimes restaurants take over their nest. Sometimes they can get caught in fishing nets from commercial fishing boats. If the little blue penguins swim 300 meters down, they could die. Did you know that little blue penguins can waddle 1.5 kilometers and this is really impressive for the smallest penguin in the world. 

I hope we can save the little blue penguins from getting endangered.

Back to school

Back to school

On our first day back at school I was so excited. School was on tuesday because it was waitangi day on Monday. On tuesday dad drove me and monte to school and I was a bit nervise. When we arrived to school I quickly got my soccer ball and ran out to play soccer. 

A couple days after we got back from school we went to the hamanatue stream. Hamantue stream is our pepeha. The day after we went to hamantue stream we had to climbed up Mongaroa. The mangaroa hill is also our pepha and we climbed up it and it is really tiring climbing up it. In the olden days people had lots of stores of that pool at mongaroa hill. When the tide is coming in the fish swim into the pool and then at low tide the fish get stranded in the tide pool and people come and eat them for there kimouna. 

When we looked at the view we headed back down to school and I was dieing of water. Then we finally arrived at school and I drunk a lot of water.
