Taekwondo

What is Taekwondo? Taekwondo is like boxing but in different ways. Since 9:00am we were busy doing taekwondo. Our instructor name was Yu. During our lesson, Yu showed us some action. We had to follow her. Next it was time to do some self defence. Yu said to us that we can not do this outside to anyone. Although we were very tired Yu just told us don’t give up. When she did the moves, she looked fascinated. After that it was time to play some games. Until then it was finished. I am looking forward for our next lesson because I enjoyed it.

Museum Reflection

Yahoo! It’s time to go and learn some information about volcano. When we were at the museum we had our own time table. We were in different groups and in different classes. I enjoyed my group because there were only little of us. It was time to go with the instructor Josh to learn about volcano. In the room, Josh splitted us into 3 groups. We each did a activity. Josh showed us a 3 news video and a presentation. What I learned from the volcano room is that Pukekawa is the grandpa of all volcano. I didn't know that it would be called the grandpa. Finally it was over. It was time to go back to school. When we drove back, I was thinking about a question for my inquiry learning. My inquiry question was has worldwide volcanic activity been increasing recently?  

Hangarau - Technolgy

On Fridays our class go to Tamaki College to learn digital technologies. Hangarau is the maori word for technology.When we are in class, we have to use the Kiore and the Papa Patuhi to log into the Rorohiko. On the rorohiko we have to use the ipurangi to log into the pae tukutuku for digital technologies. Every week we access the maramataka to know what task we have to do. Sometimes our teacher will send us messages to our imera. Sometimes our teacher will send is dojo points from her Waea Pukoro, or she might also use her waea pukoro to take photos of us working. At school or at home some of us use our rorohiko ponaho to do our work.

Midyear School Holidays!

Lets celebrate our 2 weeks school holidays!! During the mid year school holidays my family and I did our ice challenge. Ice challenge is something that people do for cancer. If you get nominated by any one then you will need to do it or donate any money to any cancer society. After you done that then you will need to nominate 5 people or more. I had to do my ice challenge because my aunty nominated me. I did my ice challenge and I donated $100 to my aunty that had cancer.

On my ice challenge day I had to get my four buckets ready. It was 3 buckets to tip on me and 1 for my leg to put in. It was time to do it. First I had to nominate my nominees. They were all from my church. They only had 24 hours to do it. I did it for my aunty and my cousin that had a hard time with cancer. While my uncle was tipping it, I was screaming and kept on running because it was cold and I felt like I was in a freezer. But that was only first bucket. When it came to my last bucket I said no because I couldn't stop running. My family was laughing at me but I didn't care. I had to try my best to do it so I did it.

Finally it was finished. I was so festive that it was all over. I had towels wrapped around me. My brother was mocking me so I said to him, wait for your one because its coming. That was the most awesome holiday ever!!

Voice Australia

Busy busy watching the Voice Australia! Every Friday I watch the Voice Australia because I want to see who will be going to the finals. Well today was the semi - final. When it came to an end, the M-C said that Ricky Martin will perform his new album that he sang for the FIFA WORLD CUP called, VIDA. I couldn't wait. When he sang, he was very sweaty. His song was really amazing because he sang it in different languages. GO RICKY MARTIN!!!
