Making Maori Gods

                                                                 RANGI AND PAPA


Hi bloggers yesterday we started on making making Maori gods. First we did in our drawing books my god was named Tumatuenga (Tu) he is the god of man and war, a lot of people in our class made Tu. On mine I drew wings that had korus on them and a cool jacket. We had the choice of 'Tu  Rongo Tane Tāwhirimātea Tangaroa'. We read a myth on all of these it was called Rangi and Papa it was a really good story and a lot of people liked it. It was about all of the the children of Rangi and Papa wanting to be free so they pushed their parents apart. Rangi became the sky father and Papa became earth mother. The story was very short so it did not last long but by the time the story ended it was time to go out for fruit break and go for a run.

cross country

                                                                            Cross Country
Kia Ora on Wednesday the 11th of September we had our Cross Country we had four activities the obstacle course, shooting goals, skipping, and the big run we had to go around the school twice. I'm a year six so I had to stay and help the year one boys. First we went to cheer on the year twos we were really loud. They ran so fast when they had all finished we moved on to the rest station, they got their cake and ice blocks. It was really sad to see them eat their cake in front of me. When they were all done we played the parachute game it was really fun when we finished that we went on the goal scoring station. I went in goal and pretended to miss, so they would be happy. Once we had done that, we moved on to the last station the obstacle course it was really hard for them I think but when that was done it was time for the year six run. I lined up at the start line ...Go!!!! We ran off - it was so tiring I came third to last I felt so tired I drank so much sat down and took a rest.                                              

squash

                                                                            squash
For the last few weeks on Thursdays we have been doing squash. We have been playing in the hall since we have been in the hall we playing on a mini squash Court and learning the lines and the rules. At the start, I was not that good but I got better - my high score is 43 hits. My friend Tyson beat me, he got up to fifty hits. It was good fun. We did rotations. I played against different people, sometimes I had to run into a wall to hit the ball. They were really good games. I played against Aarya and it kept going over the court, it was a really short game. On one of the rotations the projector screen kept getting in the way. Mrs Jones tried to push it up but it did not move. When we stopped, we played against our coach I got pretty high before I stopped. I sat down and watched the rest of them and then we left. I think we all found it really fun!.       

     

camp

                                                                         camp

On 1st of August I'm getting ready to go on camp we are going to Mount Ruapehu I'm getting my ski gear ready I'm pretty excited and nervous. We will be going for four days and spending two days skiing and we will be staying at The Crossing Back Packers. on the 20th of august we arrive it was a 6 hour drive I did not get to sleep on the way so I am tired. We lift our bags out of the bus and put them in the hall way we go into the lounge and get told the rules and we went into our new rooms I had three room mates ,Tyson,Joshua,Apollo, we had our dinner which was sausages and mash and I can't remember what was for dessert. We went back to our cabins and we played games and went to bed at ten o,cock.

 The next day we woke up at five o,cock in the morning and start to get ready. I put my thermal top,thermal pants, and ski pants on and go out to the lounge. I waited for the other boys in my block to get ready then we left to go to the lounge. When we get there we sit down and wait for the rest of boys and girls to get to the lounge once every one was there. Ms Sands tells what we will be doing once we get up there. We are starting to leave we go out the door and hop onto the bus. We start to head up to the ski loge and when we get there we transfer to a 4WD and start on our way to the Mountain we starting to climb and then we start to see snow as we get higher up when we get to the top it was really snowy we get off the bus and head to the ski hire when we get down to happy valley I  have all of my ski gear on we line up in our groups and head of we all practice side stepping and going up the magic carpet. When the ski lessons are over we head back and have lunch and then when I finished my cookies I went off and did some ski for free time and when free time ended we hoped back on the bus and went back down the Mountain when we got back we had nice hot showers and got changed into normal clothes go to our rooms and talk.
