Softball tournament

Today I went to a school softball tournament with the Yr 6, Yr 7 and the Yr 8. It was fun because When I first got there I felt excited because I really really wanted to hit the ball and hit it far as I can so that my friends will get a home run. When we got out of the bus we had to get everything cleared. So when we did that we were walking to our place where we will sit there. When we got there we forgot to get the cover of the tent which was not there so we walked all the way down to the tree so that we can get shade. Then it was our first game the lady came to tell us that " you guys are in field 5 versing stone fields".Then I got really excited that I couldn't hear the teacher telling me to stop when I didn't and then she told me to go off Then had to watch tell almost to the end. When I got off I felt sad but then after that, I went in and I bating when I had a turn of bating I was nervous and I lost for our team because they had fast bowlers like really fast bowlers so I couldn't keep up. Then the time was over then we lost. But had more and more games to come and more games to catch up to the 1st place. But we didn't but at least we won 2 games against good teams

I feel bad for our team that we lost half of our games but is it ok because we can learn to get better. Plus we are playing sport to have fun and play friendly to each other and so that when we lose we can also learn how to be good winners and bad losers.

All ABOUT ME!!!

At food tech we had made an amazing food called carbonara. which is a delicshes food i really wana make another one for my mum and dad. But heres the food we made.

Really nice!!!

Swimming!!!

We had our first day of swimming and it was really really fun because it was a hot day and we went after lunch. Which is a good time because of the hot hot day I felt like in was dieing because of the heat. So when it was time I got straight in the class and straight out unfortunately I was no the first one to get changed but I was second. We waited and waited then it was finally to go I was feeling excited and happy that I finally get to cool down my body. Our teacher told us to get in safely so we don't get our selves hurt.

We finally got in the pool, we played a little then Mrs Tofa said every one line up in a line and start practicing on your breathing under water. She also told us to go for a swim around the swimming pool so that we can get fit and be able to swim long distances. She also told people to go one by one and see if you are good at swimming. When it was my turn I tried to be a good swimmer so when I was swimming I tried not to stop but I did it anyway.

I really feel good about have to spend time in the pool because it is relaxing but not only that it is really cool like if was a hot day you could go to the swimming pool when it is your turn. I really feel grateful to be in the pool and I would reckon we should have it every day, every week, every month, and also every year and that will be awesome if that really happens.

First day in school 2019!!!

When I first walked in my new class room I felt excited because I was gonna learn different things and also different goals for 2019. When I was in the morning block I could already feel I might be getting smarter and like being able to more write faster then I used too.

So then after morning tea I was getting on finishing my work fast but what we did before that is SSR (sustain silence reading) When we finished SSR the new kiwi can teachers came. They introduce themselves then they said we could play outside. The first game we played was invisible touch and then i felt really really happy because we played one of my favorite game which was bull rush. After a couple rounds we went back inside and then the kiwi can people left. Then it was lunch time it was really fun because Room 7 and the kiwi can teachers were playing volleyball which was fun like I said last time. We were playing and playing until the kiwi can teacher said " were are doing point's. So when we were playing point's we were wining then the other team caught up but we were still wining it came to the last point's and my friend Viliami scoered the last point and we won the game and every body in our team were so happy. But then the other team try to cheat and try and get another one but my other friend Ezekiel hit it back to them and we still won the game.

It came to the afternoon I didn't want the day to end so i was trying to work hard. Then we went to the library where we were reading a book name The donkey man and the book was written by the donkey. The story was about how the world war one was like and how the donkey was living with the soldier here a little story on why a lot of people died in the world war 1. Their was a ship and the NZ and the AUS went down this beach were they were getting orders from the captain but the beach was like a circle and wit high hill and mountains. So when they got out of the boat all the Germany people shot them from the hills because the only thing they need to do was point down and shoot. So all the soldiers died but some people ran away an d survived but the ship ditch them then a few hours later the boat exploded caused by an missile from a navy ship. 

After the story it was time o pack up and I didn't want to leave like I say a lot of times because it was a fun day and a really fun day and I loved it. But then I can come home and have a rest for the day and yeah that was my first day of school was like.

A good classmate

Week 4 Day 5: Protect and Preserve

DAY 5: The Sky’s the Limit!

Activity 1: Environment Day - Beat Plastic Pollution [4 points]

Every year we celebrate World Environment Day in June. On World Environment Day we do what we can to protect our planet. This year the focus is on reducing the use of plastic bags and water bottles. Watch this Environment Day video to learn more about it!

What could you and your family do to protect the planet?

On your blog tell us three things that you could do to help save the planet.

firstly, thing I would think of is stop polluting the earth so the earth doesn't get hotter and than the sea levels will get higher.

Secondly, I would think of is don't kill animals because some animals are humble but some are not.

Thirdly, I would also think of is cutting own trees if there was no trees their would be no oxegen and when their is no oxegen then their will be no people.

Activity 2: Adoption Day [4 points]

Not only can you help the planet by reducing, reusing and recycling, you can also help to save animals and plants by ‘adopting’ them. To ‘adopt’ an animal through the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), you need to visit their adopt a species page, read through the list of animals and choose one.

With the WWF, you don’t actually adopt the animal and bring it home! It’s a symbolic adoption. In this case you pay a fee ($55.00) and the money is used to provide food and care for your chosen animal. Visit the WWF site and take a look at the animals who are available for adoption. Choose your ‘top three’ animals from the website.

On your blog, list the three animals that you have chosen and then compare and contrast them. How are they similar? How are they different? At the bottom of you post, tell us which of the three animals you would most like to adopt..

Activity 3: Concluding the Journey [10 points]

Sadly, the Summer Learning Journey has now come to an end. It is time to reflect on everything that you have learned about the environment and, particularly, about how you can protect and preserve it.

On your blog please tell us:

1. What is one thing that you learned from participating in the Summer Learning Journey programme this year? Maui dolphins can be easily known by a small grey or black spot on their fin. I would also like to add on that i would want to see one in real life
2. What is one thing that surprised you? The earth is getting polluted very very badly and it is still continuing
3. What is one thing that concerned or upset you? My mum, dad, brother, or sister dying.


4. What is one thing that you (or your family) can do, moving forward, to help protect our natural environment?My famliy and I would help get rid of plastic bags so sea turtles wont eat them and help pick up rubbish to keep then environment clean.
