A LIFE ON OUR PLANET VIDEO

 

 puzzle pyramids

our teacher had a task on  the contract with a pyramid made of circles the only thing she could tell us about was that it is addition and that it was a puzzle. it was a bit confusing until i started adding the starting numbers in the circles then it increased the amount of numbers which means more to add then eventually i would fill all the pyramid.

we had to do this 3 times and it was kind of fun when i got the hang of it.  the pyramids were confusing because there were only numbers in it. but then i got it and i cant wait for more.

 ATHLETICS TRAINING

at the start of term 4 we started athletics training. personally I love athletics you get to do many things such as sprints (track), shot put , discus , long jump and high jump. I love doing all these different sports.  we are getting ready for the real school athletics day witch is in about 2 weeks.

to do a rotation we would have one year level on one activity for about 10-15 minutes then swap over to do a different activity until your year level has done them all. my favourite activity is long jump. 

we continue this training about every day to keep our fitness up.

most days our class is glad to do athletics because it makes us happy. I like doing athletics its so fun, athletics is realy fun and I cant wait till the school athletics day.

PLANTING

On Tuesday we were treated with a day planting, we went to Lake Gem and Lake Ngatu.  when we got there we had the privilege of seeing some Summit people who were planting many native species of trees  such as manuka, kanuka,flax(harakeke, cabbage trees, karaka, houpara and more,  we met Karen from Summit she said some rules then we got straight into it we were away planting making progress, the important  thing was we were working to help make a change in the environment as we were all working together.

We dug some holes and and gently put plants in. We had a whole hill to cover our plants with, we had to make the hole way down it. We had the brilliant view of both lakes as we were in the middle of them. Our plants were covering more and more land, when we were about finished we had morning tea by the lake and then had ice blocks. At the end of the day I definitely felt better for helping the environment maybe if we all help we could end up with a better earth.

MOMENT IN TIME

I was getting ready as the breezy winds were zooming past, the big trees shaking like a rollacoster all i can think about is not dieing i took 5 deep breaths then swish i zoomed off faster than ever. i was trying to get a good view but all i got was a small glimpse as every bit of nature was like a swift rapid cheetah hungry for food. i could feel the air drizzling by as the taste of victory was getting stronger. i got closer to land so i pulled my parachute out, then splat i landed like a feisty rhino.
