Our ki o rahi tournament
Yesterday on Tuesday Mr Bell set up a ki o’rahi tournament. We had to be in our house teams which are Rimu, Rata, Totara and Kauri. I was in the kauri team. There were 6 rounds and first was kauri vs rata and my old coach, coach Trey was the referee. He told each team the rules of the ki o’rahi game. There has to be two guardians to protect the tupu – tupu means the rock and two teams are called Taniwha and Komai. I was not playing in the first game but at least my other team mates got to go. So after coach Trey said the rules to each team they were getting ready to play ki o’rahi each team were doing so great me and Theo were cheering so loudly. We were doing the Russian dance for the kauri team. After the first game it was time for the second round until all the teams had played one another. After we had finished the game the ref counted the points and the Kauri team won. We all jumped up and shouted ‘hooray.’ Then after that Mr Bell told the house teams to come to the canopy so Coach Trey could give fake money to my brother and his team.out of his pocket.

ANZAC biscuit
On Thursday the whole class was so excited because we were going to taste Anzac Cookies. I had to describe what it looked like, tasted like, felt like and smelled like. Did you know in 1915 the first World War was on and all the men were starving? So the women all made ANZAC cookies and sent them a long way to where the New Zealand and Australian soldiers were so they would not starve to death. Did you know that the ANZAC cookies are made from sugar, coconut, golden syrup, butter and baking soda. When I touched my biscuit it felt as hard as wood and when I tasted it, it tasted like a sweet, coconut wheel.
My Alien Monster
Last Monday Mrs Grant and the class looked at a blog written by another class. They showed us their aliens which they did on Google Drawing. We then created our own aliens using Google Drawing and shapes. I also used the scribble tool.
Our 175 year Jubilee
On Friday when I woke up my Mum reminded me about St Patrick’s Jubilee for 175 years. So my siblings and I were getting ready and then our Mum dropped us off at school. Then we went to our classes followed by walking up to mass. After that Ms Kyle said that we could read or we could draw because it was nearly morning tea. I was about to read but….. RING! RING! RING!!!!!!! The bell rang and I was shocked. So I put my book down and I got my snack and went outside.
After morning tea, all of the students came out to the canopy so Mrs Bullot could call out the teams which were all Irish names. My team’s name was Apricots. After that we rotated between all the teachers who had prepared different games for us to play.
Then the next day was another celebration at school. My family was too busy to come but I could only come at the end.
On Sunday we all got ready for the big day. I was excited. We went to mass and the Tongans, Samoans and Filipinos had prepared amazing rituals and it was so amazing. After that we went to the hall so we could sing and entertain the guests as a school and different ethnic communities. There was a delicious lunch too. Happy 175 years, St Patrick’s School and Parish.
Making animals using shapes.
Today Mrs Grant taught us how to make animals, objects or anything with only shapes. All of us have done different
things and here is a photo of my animal. I hope we can do more shortcut
learning in cybersmart again soon.
We are learning to learn how to use a touch pad
In the morning at 9.00 Mrs Grant showed us how to use a touchpad properly and to do shortcuts on a keyboard or a chromebook. Then she did some slides for us to do and there was one for the years 4 and one for the year 5 but Mrs Grant said some of the year 5’s can do the Year 4’s task too. So me and Tuakalau picked the first one. Then we needed to write a blog about our learning. And I can’t wait for Mrs Grant to come again. Here is a picture of the slide that me and Tuakalau did:
