In Te Maunga we have been doing Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori. I learned some more Te Reo Maori. The one thing I like doing was the code breaker. It was hard but then easy at the same time. You had to do a Maori puzzle, figure out the Maori number and write down what colors the Maori flag was in Te Reo Maori. Once you do that you will get a prize. The prize was a gold cup. I learned more about Te Reo by doing this task.
Kia ora! I am a year 4-5 student in Te Maunga at Paihia School, New Zealand. My teachers are Mrs Pou and Mr Ngata.

Lockdown
At home I was doing a lot of farming with my Papa and other cool activities like making frozen honey, riding the quads, playing hide and seek with my nephew around the farm and cows. Me and my nephew were too scared to hide close to the cows because they might charge at us so we did not hide close to them. We also did other cool things. I learnt how to stay safe when it is level 4 lockdown with my family. The one thing I liked doing was helping my Papa feed the cows. I learnt that don’t go into other peoples bubbles because they might have the flu and it can be contagious and if you are with your Nan and Papa in lockdown you might bring it home to them and they will get really sick

Science
In Te Maunga we have been doing science. We learnt how to make a science board and I learnt how to make a rubber band car out of rubber bands, ice block sticks and lots of tape. The one thing I liked doing was all the little experiments. I learnt that you always have to use a hypothesis when you are starting an experiment.

Nanogirl
In Te Maunga we went to see Nanogirl. We learnt about science. The one experiment I liked was the toilet paper one when she got a leaf blower and got two people to hold the stick and she blew the toilet paper around. I learnt that you always have to look at what the dangers are before doing a dangerous experiment.

Matariki
In Te Maunga we have been learning about Matariki. I learnt that Matariki is a cluster not a consolation and there are only 500 stars but six or seven can be seen with the naked eye or a telescope. One thing I liked doing was the rock painting because I got to make a special rock with my nans names on the rock. I learnt about plaiting the string for the poi.

Team Building
In Te Maunga we did team building. We learned how to work as a team. For team building we get into a group, then we get an activity to do and then we would have to work together to finish the activity first or the fastest. The one thing I liked doing was the hula hoop game. I learnt if you work together and do the activity fast then you will win a prize.
