Pillow day

                    Pillow day for the Seniors

Hello bloggers! In Te Waka Ako we had pillow day with Toutouwai. The seniors had to bring pillows for a good sleep during class. And for pillow designs... What we had to do is make a design in our art books with a quote in a language that you speak in like French, Spanish, Te reo or Russian! I chose a Harry Potter theme pillow in the shape of a witch hat or a light blob that says, "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if only one remembers to turn on the light." The design I wanted to go with was black and purple squares. 

After that we went to the Duffy assembly! Robert Rakete was our visitor. He told us that he was also on the radio and what made him love books. He even told us how he went on The Wiggles. It was because he went on the radio and someone called him and asked if he could sing a song for The Wiggles on a show. He even told us how hard it was performing on stage. After assembly we got to read our books with Toutouwai. I read with Gabriel. It was fun having my pillow at school. I was tired when I woke up from the bell.

Film Festival

Hi Bloggers
In Term 3 we made movies for the Ako Hiko Film Festival. In our group for the Film Festival movie it was pretty boring! Oh I'll tell ya! I didn't even get to film anything! Oh and if you didn't know, our film is called "The Police Hero's" our cast was pretty serious and wanted it to be perfect. Our cast was Zion, Walid, Teuila, Faith and Leilah. We had to use the green screen a couple of times. We couldn't find these places in our school. The other boys used it mostly for the delivering thing film. Ours wasn't that good and in detail but we tried to make it look real. And finally! The hard parts! The hard parts were the angels for the film. When we tried to film somewhere it appeared that the filmer was in the scene. So we just filmed it like bad directors. My favorite part of the film is when I got chased by the boys as a prisoner. That's all! Thank you for reading my blog, and if you choose to watch my film before reading thank you again. BYE! 

Camp at The Crossing

                                                                 2019's CAMP!!!

Hello Bloggers! I hope you have found this blog, because this blog is about everything fun you could ever think of!

First lets start off by leaving the school grounds. When everyone got there we started settling into our colour groups, There was Red, Yellow, Turquoise, blue, orange, pink, purple and green! There were 2 buses for the 8 groups, 4 groups in each bus. Should we carry on with the crossing? Once we got to the crossing, we had to unpack everything and had to make our beds, Did I mention that there was a game room? Dinning room? No? Well I'll start with the gaming room! in the gaming room there was a pool game, ping pong/table tennis, draw of games and a secret movie room hiding in the draws. I'll explain the rest later, we went to Hamilton gardens, to do a challenge and a lunch break, The colour pink won the challenge. In the bus some peopled played some hand games and some started singing to the music that was played, our bus driver was cool. He let us choose songs on his phone. And some people fell asleep during the long drive. My favourite place was AC baths, There were a bombing isle but we couldn't push, flip or do gorillas, There was also a Tarzan rope, red slide and pool flooties. Me and my friend Callum was in the shallow section, I told him we could bomb off the isle but he was to scared. So I jumped and splashed him with water. After we went out of the pool's we had American hot dogs and either brownies or cookies. I choose brownies and I had the chocolate brownie, it had little chunks of chocolate inside them. It tasted so sweet, better than a cookie! The Tarzan rope was my favourite thing to go on! I shall continue with my second favourite place! Mt Ruapehu! We went to Happy valley to ski and snowboard. But since I wasn't allowed to ski or snowboard I got to sled! My mum knew how cold I was out in the snow, so she told me to come inside the cafe and buy some chips and hot chocolate's. I had 2 because I was sick and my mum (Susan) had 1 because she was used to the cold. My mum didn't finish her drink so she let me have it, So that makes me have..... 3 hot chocolates and 2 large chips with sour cream and wedges! And boy did something come out... Pooowee! We also made heaps of snowballs and snowmen! Later on we went on the Gondola and went up to the top the mountain! 
My favorite part was Dinner and Dessert because... why not! And also because it tasted good. my favourite dinner was the butter chicken and The nacho's. My favourite dessert was the ice cream with donuts and chocolate syrup!

Cross-Country

                                                        Cross-Country 

On Wednesday the 11th of September  it was Cross-country for Waikowhai Primary School. I'll tell you what us year 5's did! First we got to chill-out and play games. We got to play Somakalo and eat brownies or ice blocks. Next we got to do skipping! My favorite part was when I could do more jump ropes than Madison and Genevieve! I did 2000 n something! Next we did kicking for soccer. We had to try and kick in the goals from were the cone was. It was really hard to kick the balls into the goal! After that, we had goal keepers to try and kick the ball away from the goal. Next was the obstacle course! MY FAVORITE!!!! It was really fun! So first you had to bounce on the blue balloon all the way to the playground. Then you try to go under the yellow fish nets, then you grab a little ring hoop that has a knot, tied around the place! You had to untangle the hoop to get you to the black ropes. The black ropes its near the red bridge that leads you to flying fox... Which is also red... anyway! After you go across the black ropes you  jump over 5 Yellow cones. Then you go on the jungle bars (Which is Gray no Blue just gray) there are 4 jungle bars so you have to go across 4! After the jungle bars you hop on the mushrooms, there are about 3 of them and their color is Dark Red. Try not to fall on the bark or you get disqualified and go back to the Blue balloon to bounce on. Once you finish jumping on the mushrooms you go on the Silver ladder, Don't go through to tunnel go to the green slide or the Orange fire pole. Once someone is at the Green slide the other 2 kids have to do the same thing! after the pole or the slide you have to jump in these colored hoops. There are 5 hoops you have to jump into, when you've done you'll go and throw 3 Pink or Blue balls into 3 Green buckets full of bark and jump over 5 Orange bars. After the bars you have to climb over the Blue and Yellow rock climb. Then you have to run all the way back in the wet soggy mud. 
Next was the run we had to do the course 2 times around the whole school. I was pushing myself the whole time and I'm proud of that.
