Surfing

 On the 20th of November, some kids from tangaroa went surfing. It was group B wich is always on a friday and thats the group me and my friends are in. We first helped Mr Redmond with putting on the trailer full of surfboards then we were of to the beach. We got there and got into our wetsuits and chose our surfboard then we put our leg ropes on and went surfing. It was a really good day for caching waves and im pretty sure i got over ten again. It was really fun and the water was so refreshing and i cant wait to go again next friday.

The ballet

 On the 20th of November, a group of girls from tangaroa went to the sleeping beauty ballet. We left after first break eating, as some of the girls had surfing. I had surfing and so did most of my friends. 

We got back in time to eat and put our stuff away from surfing and get in the vans. I sat with kiwa and meg on the way there. The ballet was at the isac theatre royal and it took maybe 10 minutes to get there. When we got there, it was really crowded with kids from other schools. 

The reason there was so many schools going is because the real show was in the evining and the had two practice rounds so the show was almost an hour long but it is origianally 2 hours long or longer so we only got to see half of it. Once we finally got in and took our seats the show started. We were right at the back row  but it was still good view. 

The show had two parts to it that we saw and after one part wich was like half an hour we did some streching then wached the next part.

On the way out, Helen and Sharon wanted to get a photo of us infront of the stage. We got some photos, then we went back to the vans and back to school. When we got back, the rest of our class was swimming or silent reading so we sat outside and had our lunch.

After we finished eating, it was nearly 3 'o clock so we just played in the playground nearest to our class room and then it was home time.

Math

For math this week, we have been doing work with perspective lines and 3 D shapes. 

Here is some of my work.

Surfing

 This year tangaroa has been doing class surfing. I have done it twice, and the first time i went was so good i caught over 10 waves and the water and the surf were so nice. The second time wasnt that good for me and i caught 5 waves and the water was icy cold. I always looked foward for after surfing when i get out i can get a hotchoclate. But i really enjoy going with my friends.

The new playground (Hikihiki)

On friday, the new playground at the front of the school, opend. Each class has a roster and our class had our turn at lunch break. I had two go's on the swing with my friends and i went on the spinny thing. Then we played a game of busted and we had the playground for luch break so we stayed on itfor that time.

here are some pictures of us on the playground.

Rubbish pick up

On the 3rd of November, a group of people from tangaroa went to pick up rubbish around the community we had groups of three or four but we had 5 wich was ok. In our group there was Me, Lily, Alexa, Jelani and Abe. we first went to the parking lot next to the hair dressers near school, and we founf heaps there. There was old broken up car parts and even old micowave parts. Everyone found alot, then we decided we should drop the rubbish back off at school then go to the next place we were going to pick up rubbish from. The next place we went to was the playground nearest school, thats where we went last time, and there was heaps of rubbish there. Me and Lily found a dead bird under a tree and we also found medication drugs too. We found alot of beer bottles and soda cans. 

I dont have any picutres this time :)

Polite

             Why its important to be polite

Being polite is when you introduce yourself, say hi and thankyou

And lots more. Its important because if someone like your parents came to give you breakfast in bed and you didnt say thank you, then it wouldnt make them feel good because they have done   something for you then it dosent make them feel like you appreciated what they did and if you say thank you it will make them feel good about themselves and what they did for you.

I really think its important to use manners and be polite because

People will enjoy being around someone who uses manners and is polite.

Athletics

 On the 2nd of November, 2020 we had athletics day. I was kind of nervos because i didnt get any practice with shot put or discis.              On the morning of athletics, it was 12 degrees but it felt warm with no wind. Me and Kiwa walked to school and we were both nervos for athletics. When we got into the class room we asked sharon if we could do jobs to help out with athletics instead of doing it and we ended up helping out for long jump the whole day, it sounds boring but it was really fun. Me, kiwa, Violet, Zoey and zara all helped out. We took turns with the jobs for each year group first, i did the raking, and zara did the mesuring and zoey was helping sharon with the scores and kiwa was standing at the side making sure people went the right way and violet was heping zara with the mesuring. We had break time and rotated jobs then did the same with lunch time and last break then after last break it was sprints finals, and relay teams. I dont know who won for relays but Anika came second in sprints out of yr 6 girls.

Athletics was fun to help out with and im glad i didnt do it so i was baisically nervos for nothing!
