Matariki Poem

This is my poem that I created to share to the class about Matariki. I tried to make it rhyme. I hope you enjoy.

 The stars in the night are a wonderful sight. 

Look hard and you can see 

9 stars shining as bright as can be.

They’re pretty and they shine, but when you see the sun, they'll disappear into thin air.

There is a group you’ll call a troupe. 

They are the stars of Matariki.

I say you can look and look, 

until daytime takes them away.

Look up in the sky, what do you see?

see the 9 sisters of Matariki. 

Their appearance in the sky means the days are getting longer. 

The sun is coming back and the frost is getting stronger. 

All clustered close, and you may not hear, matariki sing 

of the sun and the Maori new year. 

Living peacefully in silence.

Remembering the ones we have lost.

We celebrate this time of the year with our loved ones.

Rugby Tournament

Kakahi Orcas take the pitch. Our plan was that I score as many tries possible because girls get two points.  I managed to score seven tries and take our team to the finals. Roll out the carpet roll out the mats come on yellow knock them flat, here us shout here us roar where the house you can't ignore, KAKAHI.

Overall we got 31 points. Karoro Gulls were our competitors in the finals. Cory  sprinted down the field and bam our first try was scored. Momo started running and dodging through the madness and I was the last one to get him, everyone was shouting at me dive on him, get the tag, but unfortunately I wasn't fast enough.

Sheep in a Paddock

In level  three maths strand we played a game called sheep in a paddock. The rules are, if you look out a window you can only see nine sheep, and it has to equal 25 overall. The main rule is you have to have one in each square. Here is an example.

Mr Archimedes Bath (the orange)

Using Mr Archimedes we learned what volume, mass, capacity, average, weight, and units of measurement is.  We read a book about Mr Archimedes so we could start off our learning. This is my slide. Hope you enjoy!

Fast 5 Tournment

Everybody get into position. I ran on the court and shot a 2 pointer. The fast five netball tournament is where only 5 people are allowed on the caught at once.  Zoe and I were shooting like crazy. 2s and 1s were in the hoop like crazy.

Kaiti were our first challengers. Kaiti had good sportsmanship and were really fun to play. The second game was a NIGHTMARE!!! I was in defence and the girl shot for the goal, it fell out and got me on my fingertips so now I have a sprained finger. Then in the second half I went for the ball and ran into someone. I took off  their shoe and scraped up my hands.

The day was all worth it for a donut at the end.

Art

Watching a video of Sandra Silberzweig. She is a famous artist for creative art. I tried my best but I didn't have time for any little detail. Room 1 did abstract Picasso. Koka Katie and Koka Kathleine were so nice, because they let us be free with our art.

The chin of my art makes my whole face look extremely fat. I did about 10 tries and only got 1 right. In my opinion block colours make your art pop more which I like better. I spent a lot of time getting the face shape right so the colours don't work well together.

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!
