Yesterday our class got to go on sites to learn about different sounds. We had to match sound waves and got to learn how sounds are low pitch and high pitch. If you would like to have a go at the games we played click on sound.

I learnt that the thinner a string on a guitar the higher the note is and the thicker the string is the lower the pitch. We had to complete a quiz as well as listening to the instruments. If you would like to play this game click on the sound.

Holidays

                                                                   (  In the Holidays )

“Yes I can’t wait for the great amazing race” I thought to myself with excitement. I got to participate in the great amazing race with my youth group. The race started at Mission bay.  As I shut the car door I looked over to see who was there and it was my youth group and YSA. (Young Single Adults.)

We were all divided up into 4 groups. When it started our first task was to make a banner with our group name on it. We were called The Latter Day Soldiers. We were the third group to finish that task and we were onto the next.

Our next task was to make a basket out of any material but on one condition, we were only allowed to use stuff from nature. The only thing we could use that was not from nature was string. We used sticks, long branches, leaves and seaweed to hold our basket. We then had to put 8 raw eggs in our basket and we had to make sure that they didn't crack.

The next task was to walk all the way to Okahu bay and complete some tasks on the way. When we were half-way we stopped and we all had to make the word OKAHU with our bodies and take a photo of it for proof. No one in our group was allowed to take the photo it had to be a stranger. When we had done that we arrived at the Okahu Playground.

Our whole group then had to go on the slide, one by one and we had to video it to show proof. After that we had to go to a big tree where our pit stops were. Three people from our group had to eat hot cross buns. They weren't allowed to use their hands, the hot cross buns were hanging from the tree and that was the hardest thing about it. While they were eating the rest of the group had to make an Easter bunny out of balloons, tape and straws. It was really hard but we got the job done.

We had finished all our tasks and headed back to Mission Bay for a feed.

I hope I get to do this again!!

Fia Fia is Coming Up

This week on Wednesday night at 6:30 there is going to be a Fia Fia night which is a word used in the Pacific Islands. It has many meanings like a celebration or happy. There is going to be Pacific dances, Asian performances and Europe. Everyone is welcome to come see us Pt England students perform in our cultural groups.

I joined the Samoan group because my parents forced me too. Na I'm just joking I joined because I'm a Samoan and because it is my last year here at Pt England School so I wanted to show my nationality.

There are a lot of groups such as Asians, Fiji, Cook Islands, Niue, Tongans, Samoans, Hip Hop, and Europe. Feel free to come and Watch us perform.

Last Week's Reading

This Week for reading W.A.L.T use text features in our writing and reading. We were given a presentation that had slides to try and explain to the audience what text features are. We were given a task to do. Our reading group had to read a book called A New Zealand Crocodile. We had to try and find a text feature in the book like this. Can you spot the text feature.
