Inter School Athletics

At Paihia School we have been practising for athletics every Wednesday and Friday. Last week on Friday the 22nd November we went to Bledisloe Domain to participate in the inter school Athletics. Athletics started at 10:00 am so we left at 9:30 am. I went with my Mum and she could take 7 people including me and my Sister. So we took my friend Zara, Tea, Amelia, Tiana, my sister and I. When everyone from our school arrived at Bledisloe Domain some of us were playing and some of us were eating. While we were all sitting Mrs Williams asked for everyone's attention and she told us what we were going to do throughout the day. After Mrs Williams did that, we said Karakia. I was with the year 6 girls and there were a lot of Paihia School, when we were doing the 100 metre sprints our school had to split up into groups, and for discuss we went first because there we so many of us. First we did 200 and 400 metre sprints, After that we did shot put then long jump the discuss. Then we had our break, after our break we did relays then 100 metre sprints and Finally HIGH JUMP and then we finished. We didn't get to do hurdles because some of the schools had to go back to school to catch there buses and some of them go to school further. I came 1st in the 200 metre sprints, I came 2nd in the 400 metre sprints, I came 1st in the 100 metre sprints and made it to the final and semi final so some people had to run three times like me, I came first in long jump and first in High jump. I really really love athletics and I had so much fun. Did you go to athletics? Do you have athletics? Do you like athletics?

Tessellation

Last week at Paihia School Te Ngahere were doing art. The type of art we were doing was Tessellation. Tessellation is a type of Art that is made from one shape that is closely fitted together in a repeated pattern without gaps or overlapping. We all had to create a new google drawing and make any shape. On our google drawing we made a parallelogram shape and got the scribble line and made scribbles around the parallelogram. We had to make sure that the lines were not overlapping. I had to make a couple of tessellations because I didn't know they were overlapping and I didnt know that they weren't allowed to be overlapping, but finally I managed to make a shape that wasn't overlapping and that didn't have any gaps. So what I learnt from tessellations was its made from one shape, it is closely fitted together in a repeated pattern without gaps or overlapping. Hope you learnt something new!

Energize

Over the year Whaea Gina has been coming to Paihia School to teach us about healthy eating. We had different groups of foods which were Meat and meat alternatives, Dairy Products, Grain Foods, Vegetables and Fruit. Whaea Gina came in to give us a recap about what we have been learning for the last couple of weeks. Whaea Gina brought some visitors with her and there names were Amy and Fiona. Amy and Fiona came to see what Whaea Gina does with us, what we learn and how she teaches us. Whaea Gina told us that It depends on the color of the fruit that gives you different vitamins and minerals. I will try to eat healthy and remember what I have learnt.
