On September 25th Paihia School went to cross country. First we just ran around the field and then we made our way to a horse paddock. After the paddock we went up to the first gate then we ran to the second gate. After that we made our way to the finish line. After the race I felt tired but really good because I gave it a go and because I came third place.
On Friday the 28th August we did a treasure hunt. We had to go around half of the school and find little gumboots and they had little numbers on the back of them. We could win headphones, Eskimo pies, money and more. We were raising money for Sam Godsiff-Johnson and the charity I Am Hope.
In Te Maunga we made dioramas. I learnt that a carnivore is a dinosaur that eats other dinosaurs. I wish that I had seen the volcano eruption. My favourite dinosaur is a T-Rex that eats other dinosaurs.
In Te Maunga we did a soundscape. I learnt that Taonga Puoro means musical instruments in Maori. We used sand and leaves for a person walking on the ground then we used our voice for a snake and we used a tap and a bucket for a waterfall.
In Te Maunga we have been learning about math week. We did an activity called Dress Addy. I learnt that there were twenty seven ways to dress Addy and we found twenty two ways to do it.
In Te Maunga we have been learning Probability. For Dylan’s Dominos I learnt that you can get seven more than three because for three you can get one and two and that's all and for seven you can get six and one, five and two, four and three.
In Te Maunga we have been learning about cybersmart. We learnt that you need not take photos of yourself. We also learnt that we should not tell people where we live. We have to learn to keep safe online.
