Snow Planet

Wow when I got my boots it was soo hard to put it on and about 3 minutes I got it. Then we got our gloves and mine were stinky it smelt like toe jams but I wore it anyways. We got our helmets and then went inside it was so slippery and cold. One of the workers told us to come and then we listened to her speak and then she told us to go and have fun. I went on this slay thing and I tried it about 4 times and then went on floater thing and there was like a ice slide and I went on that one about 6 times and we went back to school. I thought we were gonna go Snow boarding or Skiing but we did not.

Mud Run

  This week we went on a trip to the mud run Tennis Club Once we got there I was amazed how it was nearly surrounded by trees and plants. It was cool as there wasn't that many houses just the ones that were being built I got out to find that there a heap of kids I was very nervous because it was my first time. We quickly rushed out of the van to get a nice taste of the place and it was amazing when we went towards the crowd and where it was gonna start we were nervous happy and most of all we felt like this would be  fun and we were warming up for the mud run event. Once the event started we were all moved to the starting line 50 kids were allowed to go at a time.

Once we were in the front of the line we jogged then Me and Sione sprinted there was a slippery bridge and then Sione started to slow down and Soane(Other friend) caught up with me and Marshall we went up a hill over a fence and ran down a hill. There was sticky mud and Marshall got his shoe stuck in it, But me and Soane keep on running. We finally made it to the finish and waited for the other Glenbrae Students.
Then we had something to eat while the man hosting was calling out names to come and pick a prize, unlucky for me I wasn't chosen but at least 2 students from our school were picked. Then we got in the van and drove back to school, it was an amazing experience and I hope that one day we will do a mud run again.

Today for Gymnastics

This week we had kiwi sport we were learning different ways to stretch our body's. These ways would benefit our body's when done. The positions were Tuck-Sit, L-sit, Straddle, Happy cat, Angry cat, motor-bike-landing. These positions would help you in many ways to stretch different parts of your body you could also learn other ways also. We also learnt how to handstand but some of us students are still young and flexible it was quite easy for most of us.

Math Work Shop.

 Today for math we were learning about decimals, percentages and fractions. We were divided into four groups and we were given different task problems. My group task was to find out the problem to a pizza with fractions decimals and percentages look like physically we used all kinds of things that was in our sight. It was fun doing this problem as it was fun and interesting me and my group thought we couldn't do this but we did we tried and got it done. After a few moments we needed to share what we got each of my group members shared what they have done to solve the problem.

What I learnt from this task is that you can use multiple ways to find the answer and solve the problem using physical things I also had fun doing this because it shows how people learn and how they show what they learnt.

Kiwican

 Today at Kiwican we went to the hall and then sat on the floor and started talking resilience and about emotions. The first emotion we talked about was mad. Then we got up and played a game called EMOTION STATUES. There was a creator and a statue the creator had to make an action for the statue for example angry you make the statues face look angry and its body look angry too.  I was the creator for my friend Sione and he was the statue then we switched.

After we sat on the ground and talked about Feelings and Emotions. After that our Kiwican leader(Miss B) told us a story about her parents Emotions. It was about when she was 16 and her parents got her a Ferrari and she only had her learners licence. She could only drive her car with a person that had a full licence all of her brothers and sisters had there full licence but she did not. Miss B was hungry and she checked the fridge for food but there was nothing in it then she wanted to go and get some Mac Donald's  it was just down the road so she went to go and get some. When she came back she saw the green light turn orange and she went faster and there was a police behind her and she got pulled over and got a fine. she went home and she knew she could not pay for it so she told her mum and dad once they saw it she got in trouble and a wack.

Then we got up and played another game called DON'T PLAY WITH MY EMOTIONS. We had to make a little script and Miss B gave a group an emotion to act we got angry and yeah that's all for kiwican.

Data - Mean,Median,Mode

 Today with our teacher Mrs Tofa we were learning about Data. Mrs Tofa gave Room 7 an example and once she finished explaining we went to our tables to do our own one. When I was doing my own it was very hard but I got through it with the help of my friends, As I was doing this task I learnt new Strategies that I could use in the future.
