pink shirt day 2020

Today is pink shirt day and we were meant to wear pink or mufti and we had an assemble to see who was the best dressed in pink out of the whole school. There was one boy winner and one girl winner and a teacher winner. The winners and the teachers had a dance battle and it was very funny to watch. Pink shirt day is about stopping bullying world wide and wearing pink represents that you support anti-bullying.

    

How 2020 has been so far 😀

Hi welcome back to 2020 . For me 2020 has been a fun and boring at the same time. At the beginning of the year I was excited to become a year 8 and because I was selected to become a student leader. But then coronavirus came along and soon we were stuck at home bored out of our minds. Online school was fun of a while then it got a bite boring . After 4 weeks of online school we went back to school and that was kind of fun. Now in New zealand we have no more cases of coronavirus. Most things have gone back to nomal . 

Athletics day

This week my school did athletics. Athletics is when you do activities such as, long jump, high jump, shot put, and discus. We did athletics for the whole day and at first I didn't want to do athletics but when it started it was really fun and I enjoyed most of it . In my opinion I think that high jump was the hardest because the bar was so high for me. The most tiring event of the day in my opinion was the 400 mitre sprint because we had to run a whole lap .  My favourite event of the day was discus because discus was one of my favourites and just like that athletics day was over.

What I learned this week in class

This week my class did bedmas and if you don't know what bedmas is , bedmas is a maths strategy you use when you have an equation like this 22 x 3 - 26 + 42 x 2 / 3= and bedmas helps you solve this equation . Bedmas stands for Brackets,Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition and subtraction. Here is a picture of what we have been learning in class. I really liked doing the bedmas because it was fun and I got to learn a new way to solve a maths equation.

Maori and Tongan language week

                          Tongan language week 

Two weeks ago it was Tongan language week and throughout the week we did activity's related to Tongan language week and this is one of the activity's we had to do.This activity was fun because in the end we had to design a Ngatu Tonga on paper and it is kind of a tapa cloth. To end Tongan language all the class's performed a Tongan dace or some thing related to Tonga.

                              Maori language week

Last week was Maori language week and throughout the week we had to do some slides about Maori language week and how to pronounce Maori words and this is the work we have been doing and we ended the week the same way we ended Tongan language week and a few class performed on stage. Then we did a house haka challenge to see who can do the best haka and Marlborough won . Soon after we did a school haka and that was the end of maori language week.
