Gymnastics Festival

Warming up where all the A grade competitors were, Aria, Lola, Alivia, Charlotte and I all practiced vault so we knew what it felt like.  At floor it was like Mangapapa vs Wainui everybody was trying to outskill each other.  Aria did her double flick flack (back handspring). 

It was finally our time to SHINE! Vault was the first event, we all made it over.  Beam was so fun it was my highlight of the day.  Floor was weird because my music kept going but everybody started clapping so I couldn't hear it. 

Rhythmic was an up beat crazy time.  Mangapapa went first, as soon as we saw how good they were we had to change up the double flick flack to a triple.  The top two teams get a call back. We were one of them. I will remember this day for a long time!  

Learning through play

This year for learning through play, the options are P.E, Fabric creations, and Flax. I played at P.E so I have to stay there for 2 days. I played soccer with all boys. They pass the ball to me because they know I will pass back.

Running with the ball passing through the defenders and scoring the goal. The boys were calling me GOAT (Greatest of all time).  Oscar came up to me a said that he thinks i'm a pro. Alice was playing with the frisbys. Koka Leah was playing with Alice and Nathan.

Fabric creations is fun because Koka Nolian comes in and knits with me. She used to sell jackets and they were her own pattern. She showed me her book of old designs. Learning through play has been a fun time to get to know people better.

A grade Gymnastics and Rythmical

Flying over the vault creating a gust of wind behind me. I stuck the landing. 5 girls are in A grade. While we were waiting for Koka Ngaire, we tried to do aerials. (NO handed Cartwheel). We are making up a routine for floor my music is Confident by Demi lovato.

Alivia and Lola both got their front handspring. We learned the beam routine. Their are jumps and leg holds. For the end of the routine, my dismount is a Round off. 

For Rhythmical we are going  to be doing backflips. Lola is the ringleader, I think she will be amazing. Creating a Rhythmical routine would be hard, but with a group of year 6 girls is amazing so Jacks is a cool teacher. Gymnastics and rhythmic has been so fun.

Kawa of care

Kawa of care is a topic that MLH has been learning about. Kawa of care is about staying cybersmart on your device and putting it away properly. Alice and I created this poster to show how to stay safe online. I hope you follow these steps so you know how to stay safe.
