Hour of Code

On Wednesday we did hour of code. Coding is the language for computers. We had buddies with room 10 and we had to teach them how to code. Me and my Buddy did the  moana coding. We watched a video where we saw people who made cool apps saying that it's important to learn how to code, because when we grown up there will be computers doing our jobs like shopping you can use the self checkout and more. We would rather program computers rather then be replaced by them. At the end we all got certificates for coding for an hour.

Healthy Living Day

On Friday we did healthy living day. We made pasta and fruit salad with our buddy class room 10. We had so much fun cooking it together and it was really yummy. 
We made passports for the whole school so when we go to a station the people who run the stations can stamp our passports and we had to write something we learnt. My favourite station was the skipping one because I really like skipping. I also won a competition in the skipping one for having the most skips in 30 seconds. I had 56 skips. We all had so much fun.😃🙂 

Ports of Auckland trip

On Tuesday we went to the ports of Auckland.We had two trips first the maritime museum and then we had a boat trip.   We first had to listen to the rules and we had something to eat for morning tea. We put our bags away and went to our groups.

We started with the maritime museum. Rooms 15 and 14 had to first looked at the things that were on the bottom floor. We saw lot of things, like wakas and boats. We weren’t allowed to touch most things because they were unique and one of a kind and some of them were really old. We saw a little movie what people did when they woke up in the olden days. We saw what the bedrooms looked like in a boat. The were very narrow and small in width.

After we saw everything in the first floor we swapped with rooms 12 and 13 and went to the top floor. There was a game where there had to be lots of people to control the boat and complete the mission. There was a captain and a person who looked at the compass to see where we were headed and lost of other rolls. We saw the trophy that New Zealand won from England on a boat race. We learnt a lot about boats and famous people who  rode boats.

It was finally time to go to the boat trip. The instructor Emma explained that we were going on a ferry. I was so excited. We climbed on, we had options to go on the top of the boat or the bottom, so me, Masiha and Honey went to the top. We were having so much fun. The boat kept on going up and down and we had to hold on to the railing to keep our balance. Me, Masiha and Honey kept going on all the floors to see it from different angles. It was very windy so we had to hold on to our hats. Everyone kept on waving to people who passed by and some people waved but no all of them.  

New World

On Tuesday we went to new world to learn how to read labels, so we can buy better things when we go shopping.We had papers to fill in the information that was on the back of the box of the food.

My group first went to the Bread section.We had to pick something good and something that’s not so healthy. We filled out the paper and moved on to the next one. We had lots of parts to go in the supermarket like the breakfast cereals, muesli bar, snack foods, milk and dairy products and we also had to do the fruits and vegetables.

For the fruits and vegetables we had to find fruits and vegetables that were different colours like blue, red, green,orange and yellow.

High Jump

For high jump you need to do a scissor kick to get over the pole. A scissor kick is when you put your inner leg first to jump then the other leg.You can use your right leg or your left leg first. You have to point your toes up so your leg goes up and over the pole. You need your knees to be bend so you can have more of an explosive jump.When you are doing a high jump you need to be in a angel. You need to approach the pole at a 45 degree angle.  

Athletics

On Tuesday we did athletics. We learned lots of skills. One of the most important ones were knowing when to start. For example, not everyone says "ON YOUR MARKS, GET SET, GO" some people say "ON YOUR MARK, GET SET" and instead of saying "GO" they clap with their hands or use two wood and bang it together. So the main point of that was to know when you had to start running. 

The other skill was to get a good start. We had to start as soon as the coach clapped. If we were too slow we would have to catch up with the others, and if we started running a bit too early you will get disqualified. 

But if we started running as soon as the coach clapped we would get a good start. 

The coach said we had to get a good start because, so we can run the race well, and if we started at the right time we would get a head start in the race and maybe win the race.
