Hi bloggers, today for the summer learning journey, we had to explian to everyone if we are a night owl or a early riser. I am ecspisally an early riser, because every morning I wake up at 6:30 or when i'm tired I don't wake up until'l 7:30. Only an hour later. My mum and dad are night owls, because they love to sleep. I have four siblings and they are all night owls, because they love sleeping as well. I don't like sleeping because to me it is like, when you go to sleep it is the end of the day and a of a new one. 

GIVE WEAVING A GO!!! Hey bloggers!!! Today I am blogging on Weaving with flax. This is for the Summer Learning Journey. I am really enjoying it right now. Have you every weaved with flax before? Well I haven't. Today, we have to explain if weaving interests us , you want to try and why?  I would like to try because I looks like a challenge and I love challenges because they push me. When you challenge yourself, you seem to learn more than you usually do with normal learning.  I want to give it a go also because it can mean or create something special for someone like you family mebersand your friend. Maybe you could make one for a person in your family???!! BLOG YOU LATER

Today's  activity for the summer learning journey is finding out three top facts about New Zealand on the Tourism New Zealand site.  My first facts about New Zealand is,   New Zealand is part of the pacific rim of fire and it's most active volcano is Mount Ruapehu , which is found in the middle of the North Island . Did you know that? The Auckland sky tower is the tallest freestanding structure in the southern hemisphere, standing at 328 meters high.  Last fact about New Zealand that I found interesting was  30% of the country is forest. So there must be a lot of trees then. CAN YOU FIND OUT SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT NEW ZEALAND? LEAVE A COMMENT ON WHAT YOU FOUND OUT BLOG YOU LATER

Hi bloggers, at the end of this term it will be my last time at Waikowhai Primary School. I have had many memories at this school, including Ski Camp to Mount Rupehu☃, Production and just being here . My three years at Waikowhai have been challenging, like meeting new people because I used to be shy, going away with school to camp, and being away from my parents and family. I have also had moments were I just felt like leaving school. The things that I am looking forward to next year at Intermediate are, my new friends, opportunities and many more things. I am a afraid of the harder work, the more fitness we have to do and getting more homework, but I know I can do it all thanks to everyone that has helped me, like my teachers Mrs Simpson , Mr Rattenburry , Mrs Sands, Mr Riceman and Mrs Jones . Thanks to all the Waikowhai staff, Waikowhai students and parents. I hope that next year I can take on some more important roles. Overall I am really looking forward to next year at inte...

Hi bloggers, today i'm going to tell you some quick facts about Japan. One reason why I picked Japan is because my dad is from Japan. Another reason is because I am doing this country for the Cultural Toolkits, with my friend Amaya. Japan is located in the Pacific ocean and is made up from 6852 islands. The four largest islands are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku. Japan is located to the East of Korea, Russia and China. The population in Japan is 127.1 million people. Did you know that Tokyo is the capital of Japan? There national icons are A Cherry Blossom tree, The Koi Fish, The Red Crowned Crane(Bird) and The Lychee Fruit.

Our school production this year was Pasifica Peter Pan (a twist on an old classic). We started rehearsing early last term and presented to an audience last week, with three performances (two in the evening and one Friday matinee show).  Our song at the end was one of our Jump Jam songs.  The senior syndicate had major and minor roles, both on stage and behind the scenes. The rest of the school performed cultural dances from around the Pacific. Shows were sold out and audiences were treated to a spectacular performance. An amazing end result from all our hard work! Well done! 

 Ciao bloggers, on the second of November, we had Athletics Day. Athletics Day is all about getting outside with the school and celebrating a day, where we can all work together and communicate. On Athletics Day we had a rotation that we did. In that rotation we had different activities like Team Building , High Jump , Shot Put and 400 metre dash . At the start of the day we sat in our age groups outside on the senior court. The ten and eleven year old girls were together and ten and eleven year old boys were together, and all the other ages were all separate. If we wanted to, we could come in our house group colours which were;  Blue (RURU),  Red (KEA),  Green (Puekeko)  and  Yellow ( TUI) or we could just come in mufti. I was in the ten and eleven girls group. We had Shot Put first. In some of the things that we did, we had placings as well which was  1st to 4th place. In Shot Put, me and my friend Jasmine  got placed. I got 1st place and s...
