Maraia - Review on Grammar Activity's

 Review on Grammar Activity's

Today during class we I did my last Grammar activity this wasn't really an activity it was just a refresher test. 

This was a nice and easy test but I forgot some of then and so I looked at some other blogs and used them which isn't really good but it was only for a few. The test was overall a bit hard but most of them were easy.

Maraia - Swimming lessons Term 1

 Swimming lessons Term 1 

Last tuesday we started doing swimming lessons. I was very excited to go swimming because I don't go swimming a lot. On the next day I was freezing cold but after a few minutes the sun started to come back out. When we hopped onto the bus to go to the pools, we noticed that the bus smelt like quarine I don't like the smell of quarine. After the bus ride we walk inside and then a lady lead us to the pools and I was really cool there was a gym on the side, and if you keep on walking there was another gym. When we got there we changed into our swimming clothes then we waited for the other class to come out and change then we went into our lanes. When we got to our lane we had to sit on the wall and put our had on the side of us and twist into the pool to enter safely, then we just learnt backstroke and how to float on our back, then near the end we got to jump in the pool which is the best part 

The pools we went to was called Swim Magic I personally think it great, Here is a link - Link to Swim Magic Website

Maraia - Our Sailing trip - Volvo Sailing Have A Go

 Our Sailing trip - Volvo Sailing Have A Go 

Last week on Thursday TWP 4 and Mr gaffneys Yr 5s went sailing. For sailing we had to come to school in mufti with our swimming clothes underneath. When we got there we had to sit by the boat on the chairs then after a few minutes we were aloud to play or eat I decided to go and play banana split.

After a little while the Yr 5s got into the boats the Yr 6s had to go second, so while we where waiting our Teacher Mrs Nees Kirua took us to the beach. It was a minute walk or less but while we were walking my friend Aston hit my head so I chased him and slapped his head and we kept on doing that to each other until we got to the beach. When we got closer to the beach I ran ahead and we for the water, but we couldn't go in because we were still in our clothes so I rolled my pants up  because our teacher said we can only go up to our knees.

After a little while we went back to the dock and played games. Then the Yr 5s came back to shore and got changed into their normal clothes.

Later we went to get into out life jackets and then we had to go into the water. After a little while we had a race but I didn't know what to do to control the sail. Then an hour later one of the instuctours came on a speed boat and threw out plastic play balls and we had to get as many as we could, whenever me and Melenaite (my partner) saw a ball we went to it and I leaned over the boat and got the ball. Later on there were no more balls so we counted our and we got 18 the after a few seconds someones boat fell over then if started to get cold so I jumped in to water so I could get warm and then I saw the balls that fell out of the boat that got tipped over and I swan towards it a got some so we then had 21 balls.

We then we back to shore but when we went back to shore the same boat tipped over so we left them and another instructor called Holly came and helped them.

Then we all got change and went back to school.

 Ngā kare ā-roto me ngā āhau - Feelings and states.

WALT: express how we're feeling in te reo Māori 

Today in TWP 4 we did some learning about Te Reo Maori Feelings and states.

For this activity we had to take a picture of ourselves and 5 other people and we had to say Kei te pehea koe and the had to respond with Kei tei (something) ahau.

After we put into  a google drawing we had to screencastify with their voices .  Doing the screencastify took over 10 tries because someone had forgotten their lines or they didn't know how to pronounce the word in maori but overall I think it turned out great-ish. 

Check out my work and video!

The people who were in the video are Ana,Mele,Moala,Melenaite and Briana

Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey, 50 days before Ascension

On Thursday of the week that followed Palm Sunday, Jesus had his last meal with his apostles.

The day after his last supper Jesus was put to death on a cross on Calvary Hill.

Jesus lay in a tomb for 3 days and then God raised him up.

After his resurrection Jesus showed himself to his friends and some of them did not recognise him.

He spent time with his apostles and told them he was going to return to his Father.

50 days after Palm Sunday Jesus was taken by God to share his glory in heaven.

Because Jesus entered heaven in glory he made it possible for his followers to do the same.
