Swimming in Cameron pools.

This term we have been learning water safety at Cameron Pools on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

   We were separated into groups. My group was Jasmine's group. First we learned about boat safety. We had to get on the boat. This might sound easy but when you are hopping in from the water with a life jacket on, it isn't! When  we finally got on we had to stay on one side so that it was nearly going to flip over. When it did, it was so hilarious. after it was filped over we had to go under. After that we had to try filp it over then I  got it first try.

After that we moved on to rips and currents and we had to learn what happen if your in one then we made humongous waves and you had to swim through it. It was difficult to swim through. Next we had another session bout things  that float to help people that are drowning  like plastic bottles, ropes, and other.  We had to  pick groups when you have someone had to act like your drowning and we have to save them.

After we learnt about what to do if we were out in the ocean . We had to dive into the pool and after diving in we put on our lifejackets while we were in the water. When we were done putting on our jackets we got to dive in again. We got into a huddle because if you were out in the ocean it would be cold so that's why you should huddle and plus if a helicopter comes it would see you  then we had to get into groups of three after we got out and sat on the wall we had to lean back and fall it hurt my legs because it hit my ankles. Thats all I've done for swimming Thank you for reading my blog Blog you later.

GOING TO Spark Arena !!!!

                                Spark Arena

Today  the Year 6s  went to Spark Arena. We did different activities at Spark Arena. There was Happy Place, Van Gogh, and Sounds Fun.

Happy place:  The first thing we went to was  Happy Place. I was so excited to go to Happy Place. The first thing  we went on was the ball pit you could dive, do poses while jumping and more. After we had jumped we took picture in these other rooms. There was a room with chains hanging down, a bath of balls and rubber ducks, also a room that was shining. After all that the teachers jumped in the ball pit! We moved to another one, a small room of confetti, they were throwing them everywhere. Eventually we took our last photo then went. 

 Sounds fun: we were separated in different instrumental groups.   There was the one with trumpet, drum, beat pads, and another with beat pad but with a mic. I was doing the beat pad I had to keep in time with the beat. green is perfect, purple is late, orange is early.  I got 54 out of 100.

Van Gogh:  this was our last activity Van Gogh art exhibition when I first moved my foot inside  there was lots of famous paintings and also quotes. 1 minute later we moved to a big room with projectors that projected famous art from different country's. Also there was classical music in the background. We sat down and enjoyed the art.

After this all we got to eat sandwich's, chips, an apple and a drink. We were so lucky to  have this experience at Spark Arena.

(Anzac) Under the wires day.

Kia ora bloggers  yesterday our teachers tied up wires all over the place for Anzac day. We were pretending that it was trench and we had to crawl if you stand up you would get shot and lose a point and everyone is in the same team also no technology  it was all on paper. First thing we did was math we all got given basic facts sheets with a  there was noises  like gun shots, grenades, rocket launchers. After that we did a math sheet about all the wars that New Zealand was in Add how much people died or to the beginning of the war to the end. 

Next we read a story about a donkey that lived in a small town called Gallipoli  and  his all of his owners abuse him one day he met a New Zealand soldier that was a medic and Rolly help the New Zealand soldier with the wounded  they became good friends after saving the town   he give the donkey  to a new owner  that treated Rolly nice.

After that we made letters to our parents pretending that we were in the war. Then we did drawing  the teacher calls out what happen and you have to draw it like this  there was bullet flying then you draw it my favourite was the drawing.

This is my Drawing.

Emergency pack

What do you think you should have if there was an emergency  Like the one on Friday during lockdown  at 2 am, and 9 am  there was  earthquakes, alarms that were going off  it was scary so what would you have in a situation like that. this was what Te Waka Ako has been talking about what would be in your emergency kit if there was an emergency. This is what I  would have for my emergency pack flashlight, batteries, blanket, phone, toilet paper, cards, food (that doesn't rotten like fruits), medication, water, charger, clothes, and books.

 That's what would have for my emergency  pack.

Lockdown take 4.

Malo e lele bloggers during lockdown  Te Waka Ako  had online school  we had to follow the instructions on the Te Waka Ako home page. We had a document were our work is put so it is easier for our teacher to mark. there was four rows one for each subject like maths, Reading, writing, And others. My favourite was the basic facts test my cousin set the timer first I did the ones I knew then to the tricky ones. We also had a lockdown diary  to record what was awesome about our day and other stuff. 

What was I feeling .

I didn't like how we had to go back into lockdown. What I liked about lockdown  I liked watching  a movie called Lent. Now i'm happy to be back at school and grateful to not be in lockdown.
