14 smooth grooves!!!!!!

This week we have been planning to make smoothies!! At the start of the week, we got into groups of 3 or 2. My group named our smoothie Paradise fruit smoothie. Now would you like to find out more about what we did? 

Planning the smoothies!! 

This week we just have been making a recipe book of our SMOOTHIES. Our smoothie has a lot of fruit in it. We are doing this because the year six's are at camp. We had to plan who would bring in what, so we could make them. In the end, we just brought to school what we had at home. Then we made smoothies. 

The Smoothie Day

People brought in nutribullets, and we got everything ready. After morning tea we got really ready, then group by group we made our smoothies. We filmed all the smoothies that we made, but you only had 5 minutes to make them if you wanted to film the whole thing. 

Thank you for reading 

 

No year 6s

 No Year 6s

We jumped in the ice cold pool but I wanted to stay in because...We got to play lots of fun games and have free time.  You are probably wondering why there were no year 6s. They were at Cooks Cove getting ready for camp. In the meantime we had no year 6s for the entire day. Koka Pip is such a fun teacher and the year 5s get to have her for the whole week and that include me! Soon there will be no year 6s for the entire week. Just one more week to go.

The year 5s that get to have a fun week.  Mostly year 5s are my friends but only some of them are in the Moana Learning Hub. When the year 6s were at cooks cove we started planning on what we were going to do when they are at camp. Koka Pip our teacher made us sit on the mat and think of stuff we can do when they are away and throw in some learning here and there. We are doing this because the year 6s get to have a fun time at camp, so should we! Next year the whole group of year 5s will be year 6s and at camp, and I'm really looking forward to it. Here is a list of things we are going to do when the years 6s are at camp. 

List of things to do when the year 6s are at camp. 

Maybe things we will do, mini matakai, movies, forts / tents, plays, milkshakes and smoothie, treasure hunts, baking, play & loads of other fun things that I can't remember. 

That night there was a earthquake and that was strong and scary. 

 

The Earthquake 

Knock, knock, knock! Early Friday morning, I woke up to everything in my room banging on the wall and the light moving around because of an earthquake. I didn't know what to do because I had nothing in my room to get under. I was really scared.  But after the earthquake stopped, we went back to sleep because we live on a hill and if there was a tsunami it wouldn't reach us there. The earthquake happen around 2:30 in the early morning of Friday.

Overall, its been a crazy week. While, I was so scared  the night of the  earthquake. I'm excited for when the year 6s go to camp. It's going to be so much fun with just year 5s. The whole class is excited. 

  

      

So far this year in term 1 2021

 

So far at school term 1

This year we have been doing lots of walks to places that are in our pepeha. We walked up the Maungaroa to the new light house. Also we walked to Hamanatua on the first week.  Today we are going to the marae. But we took a bus to the Marae.

   

Hamanatua

When we walked to the Hamanatua we walked along the small walk way. We took our bags with a drink bottle and a lunch box and hat, it was heavy. Then we cut across the wood bridge across the sand then went out side the Wainui surf club on the warm sand. We as the whole school put our bags down on the sand and played or chilled on the sand for 30 minutes and then after 35 minutes then we went and had brain break up by the surf club. After along time we walked back to school. 

  

Maungaroa

 It was a hot day when we walked up Maungaroa. It was a huge steep hill and it felt like forever when we walked up. There were big ponds that looked really deep and were so slimy and gooey. We had brain break and had a nice sea wind on as. It just got hotter and hotter when we got closer to the new light house. The ocean was nice and calm and that was a bad thing because we had not a lot of wind. Some people had no shoes on so it was hard for them to walk up without stepping on hard rocks or prickles and cow poo.  If you are wondering we are walking up our maunga / hill. From school the hill doesn't look so steep and then when you walk it is so steep. We had to walk all the way from school and the Nui syndicate got to have parents that drove them the the bottom and then the parents and little kids started to walked up. I almost ran out of water but lucky I didn't. We had a break but the break was not long. 

      

Te Poho o Rawiri Marae 

At lunch we jumped on the bus a went to Te Poho o Rawiri Marae.  The whole moana syndicate came to the marae. We got told a lot of stories about Te poho o rawiri marae. Te poho o rawiri has been in 3 places. The spot it is on now they own the land. We learnt songs about the marae. Every second year the moana syndicate stays a night at the marae.  The things that Aunty Baba told us were interesting things. 

     Out of all the activities my favourite was probably Hamanatua or Maungaroa.  Hamanatua was fun because it was close to school and it wasn't  such a hot day. Also we got to eat up at the Wainui surf club. The Maungaroa was fun because we got to have food there as well  but it wasn't as good because it was really hot. I hope you enjoyed reading about walking our school pepeha.   

Action week sand comp

Beach and sand sculptures 

We walked down to the beach in our house colours. The school has house colours and there are blue, red, green and yellow. It was on a monday just before school finish. We have house animals and blues house animal is a shark. 
  

With sand we made a big shark then it went to smaller sharks. The teachers gave us about 30 minutes to build the sharks. We came 3rd because green and red came 1st because they got 200 points. Our sharks were really big but not so detailed. 

The End 

Kapa Haka

Kapa Haka Festival

This is our Kapa Haka festival 

 

My family arrived at school and got our kapa haka uniform on,   moko and really dark black lipstick on. We got to wait in room 4 until the bell  rang for us to go and do the roll. After the long roll we got in two lines and jumped on the bus. I sat by Lila, Aria and Betsy. We finally arrived after a big ride to the showgrounds. 

Getting ready at the showgrounds 

We did one short practice before we went on stage. I felt so nervous that it was almost our turn. We were waiting by the stage for a long time because the other school was doing their Kapa Haka and they were good.

 I'm in the moana syndicate and that is the highest syndite. We ran on the stage. Everybody was clapping for us. Our kaia was Matiria. Our first song was e te ariki. 

E te Ariki was our best one we song because we were loud. The next song was the Haka. We were at the back and we sang really loud and that is good.  It was the girls turn and that is doing the poi.  Then we sang the best song that we are really good at and that is Wainui. Then when we left stage we watched some more schools, then it was the rest of our school. They were so good. At the end of theirs we went to the bottom of the stage and sang our school song.

What I felt like on Kapa Haka 

I thought the loud noise from our feet hitting the ground was big bites of hale falling from the sky. My friend and me were so nervous when we were on the stage. We we finished I felt relieved that we were finished. While we were waiting for our  Wai and Nui syndicate to be on and we watched babies and they were so cute and funny. 

 

  

Craft Fair!

Craft Fair !!!!!

 When the bell rang I went to Aria's house until the craft fair started. We went to her house and had some popcorn. We played some games then her mum said" it's time to go to the craft fair." We looked around then went on the bounce house at the craft fair. 

The bounce house was called the night ninja. It was an obstacle bounce house. It looked so fun. Me and Aria jumped on the bounce house and it was so loud. We jumped off and went and had a look around the stalls. 

The first stall I went to is room 13. They made stuff out out of string. It was so cool and I got one with a deer horne and it was only $10. Next I went to get some plants from room 11 and hair ties. Then at 5 me and Aria got some Nachos. Then we saw Matiria and started playing with her. I went and got a ocean theme thing from room 7. Then we started to go and play on the bounce house with Matiria. My mum was looking after the bounce house.  

   We had races on the bounce house and I won when I faced Matiria. We were playing for about an hour then it was 6 clock so we had an hour left and we went around all of the stalls and had some pony rides. It was so fun. 

The End of the Craft fair.
