Inter School Cross Country

Today at Waikare there was a cross country event. When I got to the cross country event I saw all of my friends that used to come to my school. The first group to race was the 5 year old boys and girls then the 12 year old boys and girls then the 6 year old girls and boys when it was my turn. All the 11 year olds had to wait at the bus stop for there race. Then we had to walk up to the starting line. We had to wait a few minutes until we could  race, then the horn went and we all ran. I ran right behind the other kids to see where to go when I got to the top of the mountain I had to run down the steep hill. It was hard running down the hill because it was really muddy. When I got to the bottom there was a lot of mud that I had to run through making it really hard. We had to do the track twice but once I finished the second lap I had to run down the gravel path to the finish line. When the lady told me that I came 6th I was really proud of myself because I thought I did really well.

Rippa Rugby

On Thursday me and a few other kids went to a rippa rugby tournament in whangarei. In my team was Jahrell, Mikaire, Iyanda, Jade, Angela, Breeze, Ana, Ondreous and Pharell. Just before we left to go to the tournament we had to put on our t-shirts and sit down in front of Te Awa just to see if everyone is here. When we had our first game we won the first three games and then lost. On our last game it was a draw then we were in the semi finals. Just before the game started we got pulled off the field because the ref told us that we weren't in the Semi Finals because we won the tournament in Kaikohe. So we had to go back to school. When we were back at school there was only a few minutes until the bell rang. So we had to read a book. Bye.

Science Fair

At Paihia School in Te Ngahere we have been creating a science fair board for our science fair day on Friday. We have been learning the scientific method the scientific method is what you use in your science fair plan. Me and my groups science fair project was about hand sanitizers and soaps (what is the best hand sanitizer/ soap and water) I enjoyed doing this science project because it was really fun and because I didn’t have to come up with the idea the teachers did. The challenging thing about my science fair project was writing the scientific method down. On day one our bread came out clean but one the one with the sneeze on it that one turned out with a lot of mould on it.

Author Visit

On Thursday the 21st of May there was an author named Adell Broadbent, she came to our school and talked to us about what we could be or what we could do when we are older. She said that when she was young there was a house and all of the curtains were down and there was a shed at the end of the long driveway she told that to us because it was in the first book she wrote and she wants us to have more experience so that we can put all of that experience into our writing. She also said that her and her friends dared each other to run up the driveway and touch the shed but no one did. When she got older she became a librarian then she started to create some books for kids and adults. She has been making books for 15 or so years she said, I think that she is really busy because she was a librarian and then she wrote some books, I also think that Adell Broadbent is really helpful. We were learning about books and what books are the best to use for older people. She also made a website called what book next.com. I think that I could ask some questions about her like why did you want to be an author.

The Kiwi and the Ferret

When Stella from Bay Bush Action came to Paihia School she talked

to us about what was happening to the Kiwi and all the eggs that the

Kiwi are laying. All the pests in the forest are killing and eating the Kiwi

and Kiwi eggs. Everyone in Te Ngahere has been creating an animation

about what they think is happening to the Kiwi and Kiwi eggs.

My animation was called the Kiwi and the Ferret. It is about the

Ferret eating the Kiwi and then getting stuck in a Ferret trap.

I think that I did really well with my animation. We were learning

about the stoats, ferrets, rats and weasels these are some of the

pests that are killing our animals

Disco

On Wednesday the PTA designed a disco for everyone at Paihia School in the Whare. Some of the year 1-4’s went at 5.00pm to 6.15pm and then it was the year 5-8’s to go into the whare for our disco, before we went into the whare we had to pay $2.00 and my favorite song that came on was old town road. I was also running around chasing my friends. At the disco there was food, lollies and drinks. Me and my friends got paint on our faces, I got two korus on my face they were green. I had two lines down my eyes they were red. At the disco there was a black light and a disco ball. My favorite thing about the disco was hanging with my friends and all the lights because they looked amazing. The black light was amazing because it made the face paint glow.
