Today we learnt how to introduce our selfs in sign language. We also learnt how to say our ages in NZSL. I would also like to learn all the different colours and some of my favorite things. It was really fun learning NZSL and very intresting I learnt some stuff pretty fast even know i really didn’t think i would I learnt a couple animals as pig,dog,cat,bird and how to say thank you and please and same or different it was a really nice experience that I enjoyed. Heres a video of me saying: Hi my name is Thea i’m age ten.

Last week we did a 2d shape poster and this week we did 3d last week I did a right angle triangle for a 2d this week I have choosen a cone it was a bit of a rush as we had school photos on Wednesday and a half day on Tuseday plus I was in a different class on Monday as it was a teck day. But I got it done and presented to the class and got a a 17 out of 20 for my score. I am proud of my self as on my 2d shape I was pretty terrfied and I got a 15 out of 20.

Yesturday it was Thursday. At 11:35am we had people come to our school and did what i would call a play. This lady named cat and a man named willy were the people running it. The play was about cats daugter sruggling at school when she was young. They also told us about how to control emotions.

On Monday we had a day off (yay) so on Tuseday our first day back we did writing about our holidays untill 10:15am at 11:00am we started a plane shape poster such as a 2d shapes and I did a right angle triangle it is pretty hard but I am nearly finished it. Today we have just been finishing leftover work and that’s really our week.

Camp, was on Monday, Tuseday and Wenseday was camp. Year six seven and eights all came, we all went to Coopers beach youth crishton camp. On the frist day we started off with 4 things that were slip n slide hocky, gaga ball , long water slide and last of all chill out up at the top. The first night was terrible everyone was talking and the beds had a whole bunch of bumbs in them, the second night was great I got 4 hours of sleep as the frist night i only got 2 hours.

 

Thursday,  our fun day. Yesturday was our class fun day our table earn 72 book points and we tied with the umm’s and we got all of the things that were on the board that were, muffti=30 shared lunch=40 pool party=45 movie=50 ice-cream=55 pizza=60 day off=70 yeah its alot. Were just starting our Friday so thats the end.

It’s nearly the end of term one.  This week has been really fun so far we had Monday and Tuseday off.  So yesturday was everyones first day back it was pretty busy we had our circus preformonse it was about over an hour long.  Before we did our circus we had math it was about, fractions, deimals and % we did bout 30 minutes of it.  At 5:45pm to 7:15pm we had our sinor disco! Our theme was come as your self but lots of people dressed up or came extra fansiy. That was really my first day back.

Yesturday was our last circus practice now i am 100% sure i am doing fans because we have been full out with them for the last two practices and Pia and Gracie are keep adding stuff to it so it dosn’t really make since.  But next week on Wenseday at 1:00pm is our real show i’m 100% nervous, scared and  terrified but hopefully i dont mess up on stage.  We’ve been training all term so next week will make up for it I hope. Tomorrow on Friday is a day off what I like to call good Friday because we get that day of and than its the week end and after that we also get Monday off so thats good. Eaters in 2 days not counting today or Sunday. Well thats my week.

On the 18th of March, screams of encouragement was all we heard, there were people everywhere it was our 2024 tryathlon.

 

The year fours and fives got ready to jump into the pool. The confident swimmers did three lengths of our Oruaiti pool and the not so confident swimmers only did one lap.

After the kids hopped out of the pool they ran down to the bottom field and started biking, everyone did three lengths of biking around the field.

 

Once they finished the three lengths of biking, the bikers dropped their bikes that they were using and took their helmets off and started running. Everyone did two laps of running, some people had marshalls running with them too.

 

I heard someone say it was so fun but so tiring at the same time. Marika said “It was fun and made her bones stronger” and she felt very proud. I also heard so many good words and everyone worked together. We even heard a marshall say it was so hot and well set up too.

 

That was our 2024 tryathlon with Tortora and Ngaio year fives and fours.
