Passport

During this term, we've been learning about New Zealand artists and about during music in the past. There were different categories such as art, music, physical movements, and presentation. They were activities that were up to 50 points and we had to reach up to 200 points by the end of this year. I am up to 180 points. The passport tasks are very good because it can help you learn more about New Zealand artists and about the history behind them. That's why the passport task are very fun and are very good.

Athletics

On Wednesday 14th of November, the school and I went to Three Kings Reserve for athletics. When we arrived, we all sat down on the concrete stairs and just waited for the events to be ready. The first event we started of with was 800m but I didn't do it because I wanted to save my energy and everyone had to be in the same lane. Soon after, the teachers announced 200m and I placed 1st. Then we had 400m and I placed 1st again. And then, we had 100m and I came 1st again. Later, we did the field events. The first event we did was discuss and I came 3rd.

After, we did long jump and I came 2nd, but when we did shot put I didn't come a place. Lastly, we had the relays and I was in the relays. I was the 2nd runner. The places were Cowley, Hillary, Blake, and Sheppard. When we finished it was very disappointing but was very fun. Thanks to all the parent helpers and the teaches for coming along because without them we wouldn't have been there.

Comic Writing

On the 7th of November, Mr. Drummond came in and taught us about how to draw comics and how to draw well. We all thought of a story we could do or we could just make a comic we thought of doing. My comic was about two people who go and rob a bank and there's a cop that tries to stop him but he gets distracted by the money he saw.
We did this because comics are interesting and we all wanted to learn about comics. This lesson was very fun and enjoyable for all of us.

High Jump

On Wednesday 7th of November, there was high jump for all 11 year old boys and girls. For the boys only 5 people did it and 3 girls were doing it. The height we started of with was 0.95 meters. Sadly only a few of us managed to make it and 1 girl didn't manage to do it. Soon we moved to 0.98 and there were only 3 boys left and I was one of them. Eventually, only 1 girl was left and for the boys, there was only me and someone else. I did come 2nd but it was really fun and the person who got 1st was really good. I'm glad I got a place and it was very competitive.

Bike Safety Ride

In the morning, my class and I did a bigfoot bike safety programme. The programme went on for 2 hours and was really fun. The first thing we did was biking in circles just to see who can ride a bike. After, we played a game called green light red light. Then,  we were riding with one hand by holding out your left hand or right hand. Finally, we played a game where if you put your foot on the floor or bump into someone you're out. This bike ride was very fun and taught us a lot.

Orientation Day

On Friday in October, me and other year 6 boys in my school went to the St Peter's College Orientation day. When we got there, we all waited at the entrance of the school for everyone who got in. Then, we got to see all the other people who are at St Peters. We first did a reading test and we all had 1 hour to finish the test.

 After, we had a writing test and lots of people were going to the toilet while the test was still going. Then, we had morning tea and we could meet some of the people in the school. Soon, we did a math tests and it went really well because it was a test we've done before. 

When we finished, we had a music test and for the music test, we had to put an answer to see if the instrument was played higher, lower, or the same. They played it twice and they played more than one note, they played about three or more. After, we had lunch and it lasted for 20 minutes. Finally, at the end of the day we got to go home. After that, everyone thought it was fun and cool to see their friends again.

Kia Kaha Shields

In Religious Education, we did shields about ourselves and the classroom. On the left side of the shield was about how we are special. Then the left side is about how the classroom was special. We did the shields because we wanted to show why we are talented and why the class is talented.
This is my shield.
