In Te Maunga we did Food For Thought. We learnt about how much sugar is in drinks, what food you should eat the most and sometimes and occasionally and we learnt how to read how much sugar, salt and fat is in foods. My favourite part was going to the 4 Square and finding different kinds of food that are the colors of the rainbow. I am going to eat more healthier food.
In Te Maunga we did an easter auction. I learnt how to spend my money wisely and how an auction works.My favorite part about the auction was buying the easter eggs and eating them at home. I learnt that when the bigger eggs are there, try to get the big eggs.
On March 24th we had visitors in to Paihia School. We learned about fish some shells and we also learned about how to keep a whale safe when it is on the beach and it can’t move . My favorite part about the visit was looking at all kinds of different shells. I learnt that when there is a whale on the beach don’t try carrying the whale because you might hurt the whale.
In Te Maunga we went swimming. We learnt how to go side to side from floating on our back. My favourite part about swimming was doing side to side when you were on your back. I learnt that when you are on your back be calm so you won’t sink.
In Te Maunga we have been learning about art. We drew our maunga in our books for a practise and then coloured it in with pastel. My favourite part about this artwork was coloring my art in with pastel. I learnt how to draw hard Maori patterns.
On Friday March 5 me and my mum evacuated because of the tsunami. We went up to my nans and papas that had a big hill but it was in Kaikohe. The best part of the evacuation was that I could hang out with my mum by myself. I learnt that when you see or hear the alarm you need to move fast.
In Te Maunga this week we had a visit from the Northland Science Roadshow. We learnt about rockets, spectroscopy and water testing. For rockets I learnt that the more air goes in the rocket the farther it will go and if you put too much water in it, it won’t so far because there is no room for the air to go. For the spectroscopy I learnt if you put a cd in a box with a little line where you can see you can see a rainbow, it was cool. For water testing I learnt not to drink blue or green water because it has a lot of chemicals.
