Partner Yoga

Room 8 learnt how to work together in an activity called ‘Partner Yoga’. Partner yoga is like doing normal yoga but with someone else. It was really awesome and fun.

Did you know that Room 8 was struggling a lot because some of these yoga poses were very hard to do?  Like what Dane and Kahukura are doing.

Minefield

My minefield experience.

Before our writing assessment Room 8 played a game called ‘Minefield’. In this game you need to buddy up. The game is simple, all you needed to was dodge objects that were in your way; like desks , chairs and other classroom equipment. But the trick is you are blindfolded and your buddy need to instruct you! The main idea of this game is your listening and your teamwork. During my turn I was confused and I couldn’t hear my buddy due to the blindfold blocking my ears a
little. After a few attempts I finally crossed the minefield safely. By Jarrod

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.
