I think that softball is a good action station because some kids learnt a new sport and learnt how to play the game. I learnt how to play softball in our action station how to catch with the crappy glove and we played a game called stuck in the mud. I enjoy playing softball because I learnt new games and learnt how to play softball. I found it challenging to catch the ball because we had bad gloves. my favourite part was playing the games. I would choose softball again because I want to learn more about softball and because I haven’t played softball before so I want to learn more.

today we had another action station something I liked was running at each bases and also. I didn’t  like was catching the ball because the glove was not good. something I learnt was running bases is important in the whole softball because under 13 you can steal bases by slide kicking them and they might fall on them. and something I didn’t understand was throwing the ball away from the other people but you cant get it out from the bases and also I didn’t understand if I should throw it under arm or over. but I still throw it over but also sometimes under arm and there was a game called 3 balls down. and then we finished by going to break.

What has happened Lately 

 Something I liked in persuasive writing is that I like to persuade people to do stuff. We can persuade matua to go out for games and matua can persuade us to do our work. I didn’t understand anything in persuasive writing.

 Beach Ed

Hello my name is Tupara. This week we learnt about beach safety.my favourite part was when i got knocked over by the big waves because it was funny and sometimes the waves are bigger than me . My least favourite part was the learning because the life guards looked like they wanted us to leave because people were getting a little bit bored because of the learning .

I didn’t understand that how the waves got bigger and bigger and bigger with more people in the 

water maybe and i didn’t understand how there was a big hole in the ground .

I learnt how rips form and the colour of the rips. 

this year we had to create a slide that’s asking if the food is good, or Is the food sweet, or is the food tasty,and asking if the food is sour like sour lollies and then we had to do  do a mote of  us saying the sentences of the words and we had to do In Maori and in English. and the hardest part was actually saying the words because it was hard actually saying the words in Maori but in English it was easy because I can say Maori and English.

SHOULD RECYCLING BE COMPULSORY

This week we have been doing a piece of persuasive writing about why recycling should be made compulsory recycling should be compulsory.   Here’s the link

Recycling helps save energy. If you recycle one glass bottle, it saves enough energy to light a 100-watt bulb for four hours, power a computer for 30 minutes, or a television for 20 minutes. Recycling one aluminium can saves enough energy to run a 55-inch HDTV to watch your favourite movie

This week we have been working on  habitat and it has been fun and my favourite part was we got to choose the animal for the Habitat and how they Adapt to that Habitat. here is the link

kia ora’ we did a kapa haka performance at  the Palms.  The first song we did was Nga iwi e then we did Titro  Mai,  E TE TAU and then we did our haka it is called Hawaki nui and that was the best haka we ever did. When we performed it we cut threw the girls to get to the front to proform the haka and our last song was Matariki and also this  was my favourite performance yet i hope the 2nd performance is better  than this one
