 What Plants?

Learn - I can identify trees by looking at the bark

Learn - I can identify native New Zealand trees by their leaves

Today in TWP we learnt more about plants and how to identify plants and trees, by their leaves and barks. Our teachers gave us a paper of what the leaves of some New Zealand native trees look like, we had find the name of the trees online. Then after we finished that we were given another piece of paper that has picture of what the bark on the tree looks like then we had to find the name of the tree. We had finished it all but there was one tree left but it was blurred so we couldn't find the name of what is looked like so we asked the teachers and they just told us the answer because it was blurred for them to and then they told us it was a fern tree.

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.

Photo Time.

Maraia - Tahuna Tōrea Mind Flow

Tahuna Torea Mind Flow 

WALT: allow our inner response to flow and be captured in words form. 

To day in TWP we did an activity about Tahuna Torea.

Before we started the activity we sat on the mat for about one of two minutes and closed our eyes and  think of what we did at Tahuna Torea.We  then had to write out moments of Awe, Wondering and a moment that stood out to me and our favorite Learning moment.  We basically had a flashback of what we did. This activity was very easy  and I don't think that anything was hard

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.
