My 3 favourite experiences this term was Volleyball, Litm, and PE. I liked Volleyball because I learnt new skill and had never played in a tournament. I liked Litm because it was two days and I ran 4 workshops. I liked PE because I liked playing different games. I have learnt loads about my IE topic. Something I would change is longer brain breaks. A goal for next term is to finish My shelfie milestone.

Near the end of this term, we started to play volleyball and in my team was Jonty, Sophie, Noah, Elaina, Mathew, Katie, Kurt, and Jocelyn. In our first session we learnt how to serve and then we learnt how to dig and in our second session, we practised serving and digging. Then we learnt how to do a set and then on our last week we had a tournament. We played all the teams and we only won two games but the ones we lost were close. At the end we had a mini prize giving and I got the reward of most valuable player. 

This week I enjoyed doing my Mangahigh because it gave me a bit of a challenge. I liked doing Read Theory because it challenged me I like things that challenge me. I really enjoyed doing my Maori art because it turned out good. I liked doing the patterns and drawing something related to the proverb. I also enjoyed playing volleyball because we got to play other teams and we played against our leaders.

The Shoe Storm On a nice sunny day, Bill, Bob, and Ben went out to their farm to feed their animals. They fed the cows, chickens, pigs, horses, and the sheep. They then went to milk the cows and when they got back to their house, they had breakfast and for breakfast they had cereal and toast. They then went to the beach to relax, and when they got there, no one was there! They played in the water. Bill was surfing, Bob was fishing, and Ben was making sand castles. Then they all relaxed and had lunch and had a drink. On their way home, dark clouds covered the sky like it was a big blanket. Then there were flashes of lightning and they heard big rumbles of thunder. Then shoes started to fall out of the sky and they were all really cool shoes! Bill, Bob, and Ben then decided to collect some of the shoes so they could keep them. Now it was nighttime and they had just finished milking the cows. They had the fish that Bob had caught for dinner and then had chocolate pudding! Th...

An epic mission has just ended after Cassini crashed into Saturn because the probe ran out of fuel. It was one month away from its 20th anniversary from its launch. The team behind Cassini has a laboratory in California. It started its mission in 1997 and arrived in orbit around Saturn in 2004.

This week we did Kowhaiwhai patterns instead of Word Of The Week because it is Maori Language week. We had to draw patterns and write down the meaning of them. I enjoyed writing on my blog because I write about a new chocolate that was invented. I found some of my Mangahigh tasks a little bit challenging but I also liked how they challenge me.

When you feel happy you feel great about yourself and you are being cheerful. You get the feeling of being bright and it makes you want to do everything you enjoy doing. One thing that makes me happy, is when I arrive to school because I like to learn new things and see my friends. When you feel sad you are down and can be miserable. You have the attitude of not wanting to do anything and you just want to be alone. Something that makes me  sad, is when my brothers always get me into trouble! When you feel scared you are afraid of something or frightened. You feel nervous sometimes when you're in a big event or something like that. Sometimes I feel scared when a horrendous storm comes by because I don’t what is going to happen.

A chocolate firm has created the fourth type of chocolate and is the first new type in 80 years. The chocolate was created with ruby cocoa and the chocolate is named after it’s colour. The white chocolate was created in the 1930s. The cocoa  bean was used to create a confectionary with berry fruitiness and luscious smoothness.

This week I found looking after Moana Nui challenging because they some of them were being really silly and chaotic. But I also enjoyed it because it was a fun day. I have enjoyed working on my write bingo because I like doing a range of different writing and writing about different things. I have also enjoyed working on my Shelfie milestone because I like reading the different text. I have also enjoyed doing pe because everyone was doing something.
