Tamaki Haka

On Monday, Room 8 had Te Reo with the Kapa haka leaders. Their names are Andre and Chanel. They taught us a Tamaki haka that they have been teaching to the kapa haka students. we had to get into  two lines and then we had to face to each other other and do the haka. we didn't have much time so we did the haka one more time and then the bell went. 

I enjoyed doing the haka because its fun and it inspired me.

It's cool to be kind.

This game is called Kind Kingdom  the game is based in being kind online .
my record  is 380 points . You block trouble makers and make people feel better .

Earthquake House

WALT: Learning from each other, Learning with each other

AWESOME!!
On Wednesday it was tuakana teina day, tuakana teina means younger to older. Which means that a senior class has to buddy up with a junior class.

Firstly, Ms Fepuleai did the roll then she explained to us how our behaviour should look and sound like. She told us ways of how we were going to help our buddies from Room 3 keep up with our earthquake proof houses.

Secondly, we then had to walk down to Room 3 so we can start working on creating our earthquake proof houses. When we arrived in Room 3 we looked at a slide based on earthquakes, Ms Fepuleai wrote some of the rules we were going to be looking at while we were answering some of Miss Gormly's questions. We watched a video filled with different types of ideas of how we can make our basic house earthquake proof.

Thirdly,  we all went outside so Ms Fepuleai and Miss Gormly can put us into our groups. In my group was Savannah, Cheska, Tasi and myself. Our idea to make our basic house earthquake proof was to use four long rubber bands and nine red furry  bendy sticks ( Pipe Sticks ). After we finished making our basic house earthquake proof we had to go and tie it onto the playground then Miss Gormly tested it. 

In Conclusion, “ we had a FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC Time ”.

Tuakana Teina with Room 3

On Wednesday the 20th of September

Room 8 went to our buddy class Room 3.

Firstly, Room 8 were talking with Mrs

Fepulea'i about the expected

behaviours around young children.

After Mrs Fepulea’i and Room 8 were

talking about the expected behaviours she

told Room 8 that we had to

line up behind me or Manaia so we

can go to Room 3.

Secondly, when Room 8 got to Room 3

we had to sit on the mat and look at

a google slide show that Miss Gormlie

created about earthquakes. A few seconds

later  Room 5,8 and 3 had to go outside so

Mrs Fepulea’i can sort out the groups, after

Mrs Fepulea’i sorted out the

groups she said that we had to go to a lady

to get a paper and pen for our plan.

Thirdly, after we planned our unbreakable
earthquake house we had to record us saying

what items we are going to use and where we

are going to put the items. A few minutes

later Miss Gormlie and Mrs Fepulea’i gave

the groups a milk box each to create

our earthquake proof house.

Finally, When we finished creating our

earthquake proof house we had to tell Miss
Gormlie that we were finished so she can

see if our houses were earthquake proof.  

When Miss Gormly finished shaking our

house on a cardboard she told us to pack up

the class. I enjoyed this activity because I

wanted to spend time with my buddys in

Room 3.

In conclusion, creating an earthquake

proof house was very much fun!

Are you going toilet?

Room 8 students watched a video on how not to behave when you go to the school toilets. They turned it around into the positives of how students should behave as part of PB4L.

We brainstormed as a class and then Auckland took the class IPAD and students out to film.
