Shakeout Day

In Te Te Maunga we did a shakeout day. Shakeout day is when you do a drill like there was a real earthquake. We learnt about what you should do when there is an earthquake. When there is an earthquake alert you should drop cover and hold. That means drop down and cover yourself with a table and hold onto a table leg until earthquakes are finished.

Pal Day

 On the last day of term three we did PAL day. The things we did were Obstacle courses, running games and sprints and other cool games. The one game I liked doing was sprint because it was fun and challenging. For sprints you need one partner. First one of the  partners runs first then they pass the baton to the other partner to run all the way to the end and back and whoever gets there first wins. I learnt that if you try your best it is really fun. 

Olympics

In Te Maunga we have been reading about the Olympics. I learned about Violet Walrond. Violet was the youngest swimmer at the 1920 Olympics. My favourite part was making the notable names. The first thing you have to do for reading is read the books and then do three notable names. Next you have to do what the difference is between modern and ancient and then after you have done that you make up your own sports. Next you have to research three people that did Olympics or still do Olympics and then you are finished. I learnt that Yvette Williams broke the Olympic Record. 

Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori

 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. 

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.
