Getting our new netbooks

Yesterday on the 16th of November we finally got our new netbooks. As well as getting our new netbooks, yesterday we got shown how to use it and keeping it safe. We also had a chance to  play on it. It was really fun. Having our new netbooks has made the Year 7’s even more happy. I would also like to thank my school principal Mr Burt and his lovely wife Mrs Burt for trusting us to have our own new netbooks.

Swimming

Yesterday which was the 2nd of November my class Room 19 and I went swimming after lunch in our brand new swimming pool. Our new swimming pool is located on our school netball courts. Unfortunately I never went swimming because of my leg so instead I was filming my class swimming and also having fun.

Since me and Jane were filming we actually thought that the swimming pool was cool. Everyone was having fun and they even done a circle and started singing the National Anthem.

Chris the swimming teacher started to teach them how to float on there back and dog paddle. Soon everyone started doing what they were suppose to be doing. So everyone had fun.

After that Chris decided that there should be a handstand competition so we did. He also decided that there should be two groups so there was two groups. One group had to go to the other side of the pool and the other team to the other side of the pool.

Finally it was time for the finals. The teams had to pick one person from there group to verse the other groups team player. So in the finals were Sharon and Cruz. Unfortunately Cruz won.

Later on it was time to go home. Some students left the pool happy and some were sad because they wanted to stay in the pool a bit longer. Our teacher Ms Tito told us that we could relax in the sun. So some students relaxed and some just went for a run.

It was fun and cant wait for next tuesday.

Optimist Dinghy

On the 3rd of September 2010, my group and I were asked to create a little project based on what our reading task was. As you can you see on the left is a picture of an Optimist Dinghy. This is what we were asked to do. We were asked to use Comic Life to design our little project. So hope you like it.

List the things that have to be checked:

- When you sail you must always have your
boat or dinghy facing the wind.
- If you are wearing a lifejacket you have to make sure that it is fully on and that your zip has benn ziped on.
- Always check the weather.
- Have you got the bailer tied in because if
you dont then if your boat gets filled up with water, what are you going to use to scoop out the water that is in your boat.
- Last but not least the drain plugs.
Always check if the drain plugs are in. Why? As I said before about water filling up your bPrProxy-Connection: keep-alive

y-Connection: keep-alive

t. Well instead of using a scoop to scoop out the water you can actually use a drain plug to stop the water filling your boat.

Thanks for reading.

My Mihi

In class my Teacher Miss Tito asked if we could write our own Mihi for every morning. Why? because every morning Miss Tito would ask if there is someone that would like to share there Mihi and the other reason why we are doing Mihi's because it is a part of Te Reo Maori, and to practise how confident we are. So when I get chosen to the Mihi I would say=

Ka tangi te titi
Ka tangi te kaka
Ka tang hoki ahau
Tiheiwa Mauriora


He mihi whanui tenei kia tatou katoa kia koe te rangatira e
Tena koe mo to mahi e whakamoemiti ki to tatou matua i te rangi


Kiaora koutou kua hui mai nei ki tenei wahi, ki te mau mai i te aroha,
ka nui te koa mo to koutou kai ngakau ki te aro mai ki te hapai I nga take E pa ana ki te wananga. No reira tena koutou tena koutou tena ra tatou katoa
