Camp Highlights

                    My Camp Highlights.

Last week the Year 5,6,7 and 8's went to camp at the Rarawa camp grounds but the year 5 went back home on Wednesday morning. We played a bunch of games but the best game we played was the...

Amazing race.

 The amazing race is when you get into a group and you have a list of things you need to do. The way you do these things is you have to find a parent and they will give you your task.

My five highlights about camp was when...

• We went to the cape
• When we went down the sand dunes
• When we played the game called the Amazing race
• We had to make up a skit or dance for our camp concert.

Google docs Ninja Challenge.

Google Docs NINJA Challenge

Today we have played a game called the ninja challenge.

There are four different levels

There is

Level 1-White belt skills.

Level 2- Green belt skills.

Level 3-Red belt skills.

Level 4-Black belt skills.

These are the directions: Complete the following tasks to master Google Docs. You will demonstrate your mastery of most tasks in the right column unless it is blacked out. In that case, your skills will be applied to whole-document settings or other areas, and it is unnecessary to insert anything in the box. Complete all 4 levels to become a Google Docs Ninja!

This challenge is basically teaching us short cuts and other tips and skills we might not already know. Starting from level one it was pretty easy but then it got harder and harder , and that is good because that means it was working my brain. I really enjoyed this challenge.We saw this challenge from our buddy class last week.

Here is my work.

Athletic Zones

                       👑Athletic Zones👑

On Friday some of our school kids had athletics 
zones. I had made it into high jump,shot put and discus. It was a very hot day so I took my hat. Once I got to school I waited for the bell to ring.

We began to walk to kaitaia primary because that was were it was held.   Once we got there we set our tarpaulin out on the grass under the shade. I was thinking back to when we were training for this day.I felt so happy I made it into zones.

The Incredible places about New Zealand.

Paihia

        and

              Kaitaia

New Zealand has a lot of beautiful places but the two that really stand out to me is Paihia and Kaitaia. Paihia is a incredible place because its a place were you can just relax and have some quiet time. And Kaitaia is just amazing because at the Te Ahu center it has a ships anchor that had been used way back in the days and sunk.  Kelly Tarlton actually helped to bring the anchor in!
