Cricket

 In Te Maunga we have been learning about cricket. We played non stop cricket. The batting team had to stay inside the cones if you were in line and hit the ball to the fielders without hitting the wickets after you hit the ball you run to a pad and hop back in line also if you hit the wickets you get that bat out. The fielders have to grab the ball after it has been hit. I learnt how to hold the bat by making a v shape with both of your hands.

Poetry

 In Te Maunga we have been learning about poetry. We had to find metaphors, simile, alliteration, adjectives and adverbs. When we did this I learnt what metaphors are. A metaphor is a simile but it can’t have like or as in it. 

 

Cross Country

 On September twenty fifth, Paihia School did Cross Country. The first thing we  had to do was run around the field then half way up a hill and down the hill last of all we ran back on the field to the finish line. After the race I felt very dehydrated and I needed a long rest. 

Geometry

 In Te Maunga we have been learning about geometry. We had to make 3D shapes out of sticks. I learnt that a square based pyramid has 5 faces, 8 edges and 5 vertices.

Films

 In Te Maunga we have been learning about how to make films. We had to do a film called The Vicious Virus. I learnt how to zoom in and out on the camera and I also learnt how to pause the camera.

Treasure hunt

 On Friday the 28th August we did a treasure hunt. We had to run around the school and find small pieces of paper with a picture of gumboots on them. We could win headphones and chicken and chip vouchers and lots of other things. We had to pay $2 to do the treasure hunt and the money was raising money for Sam Godsiff-Johnson and the charity I Am Hope.

Probability

In Te Maunga we have been learning about probability. We had to play some math games and one of the games we played was called Sneaky Snakes. In the game you had to roll a dice and say you got five and two that equals seven so you move your counter seven times on the board and you have to count how many turns it takes to finish the game my ground through it would take about five turns but I thought it was going to be four.
