Weekend Netball 😎⚽

Hello,

Today at netball I played for a different team. I really enjoyed having other people to pass around to. I also enjoyed playing netball with some new people that I have never played with before. We won 11-8 and I played 3/4 WD(wing defence) and the other one I played in C (centre). The team I usually play for won 20-9. Can't wait for Thursday sport next week as we didn't get to play last Thursday.

Bye:)
What sports do you play? Did you win your game today?
See you next time:)

Breakout EDU

Bonjor,

This week the googlers ( one of the leadership teams ) made a breakout EDU. A breakout EDU is where you have to find clues to unlock locks and crack codes. This year the theme for our breakout EDU was all about wonder. We looked around the library to sheets of paper with clues on them. We had to unlock one box which had a hint card in it we could pass in if we needed help. My team escaped with 26 minutes left. I think that we worked really well as a team but next time we could of discussed more about what we were doing so that it took us less time to escape.

Have you ever done a Breakout EDU?

Reading Synthesis eggs

Kia ora,

Today I'm talking about my reading for this week. This week my goal for reading is to: Think while reading,pick up new information, and come up with new ideas and new thinking. Synthesising is putting together information from the text with our prior knowledge to develop new ideas and understanding. We read a book called Me Me and Me about a girl with a cellphone. Here is the  reading synthesis eggs sheet I filled out before and after reading the text:

The Teachers Strike


Kia hoki mai ki taku putea mo te wiki, he pai te wiki o te katoa (Welcome back to my blog hope everyone is having good week)

On the 29th of May the teachers went on strike.
The teachers went on strike for 2 reasons.

  • Because they aren't getting paid enough
  • Because they don't have enough time.
  1. The first one is a big one because they don't get paid enough. Private schools did not join in with this as they are not paid by the government. That is why private schools cost more money to attend. Hopefully soon the government will give a pay rise so that everything can get back to normal.
  2. The second thing is time. The teachers said that they spend so much time on admin and getting things ready they don't have that much time to actually teach us.
Bye :)
Did you get the day of on Wednesday?
See you next time :)
