Tawa @ Ngatea Primary School

Maths review: This year I have enjoyed maths working with Mrs Taaffe and her amazing mathematical skills and giving her knowledge to us. So far I have been in the Kermits then the Scooters and then back into the Kermits. During this year I think I have improved quite a bit in tests, my Pres were alright but then a bit of a step happened. It has also been cool working and collaborating with my fellow group mates, and I like having just boys in the Kermits and then a girl group the Fozzies. Now I am excited and happy to see what happens next year in Marama’s maths groups.

For the last few weeks our school has been practising athletics for the ninth of November and I'm going to be explaining some information about high jump. The first week of athletics training the year sixes did high jump and we got videoed. We got one practice. Then came the real jump. We had the bar higher then the practise height and only three people got past the highest one which was me, Josh and Raiden.  t. The Video my HIGH JUMP!!!!

iDrive This Thursday for iDrive me (Tawa), Olly, Hamish, Mason and Nesta did creative playground. First we made a ramp for a cable reel to roll down on, first Nesta went then Hamish, Mason, Olly then I went last and then it didn't work out because some people got hurt so we decided to make a teepee with all the things we could. We videoed it in time-lapse and did some ramp videos too but some of them looked pretty sore and just incase at the end of the ramp we put some mussel buoys there so you could land on them. If you're wondering it didn't hurt landing on them and some people just completely missed them so it probably hurt :-I .

Labour Day is a National holiday for many hard working New Zealanders which is on the fourth Monday of October. You get a longer weekend to spend time relaxing or catching up with family members. Labour Day is also for schools, government offices and many businesses are closed. New Zealand first celebrated Labour Day on October 28, 1890 (a long long time ago) and the first official Labour Day public holiday in New Zealand was celebrated on the second Monday of October 1900 (twenty years later from the first one) , The holiday was moved to the fourth of October 1910 and has stayed like that since then.

Term 4 Art This term for art I decided to do Picasso art with Mrs Barker, it was only me and Olly so it was a two man group. First we had to look at the doc and checked out what to do, then we made a draft which we failed really bad. Then Mrs Barker came and took us through what we had to do, we first made our head the shape of an egg, next we had to put two lines vertical and horizontal and on the horizontal line we drew the eyes then added a line in at the top between the horizontal line and the top of the head. After that we made our hair above the line I was just talking about, we next had to make a line in the middle of the bottom half to make a mouth and above the mouth draw the nose and speaking of the nose it was my favorite part of it because I got to watch a step by step video on how to do it and I did it pretty good. Image of what I have done so far:

Holiday recount In the holiday the most exciting thing I did was going ice-skating with my brother and Incca ( my mums friends daughter ) and that was my second time going there in my whole life and I was pretty good at it, but I stumbled a few times. My other most exciting thing was getting my first phone which was an iPhone 5 (black) with two cases (my little brother got a phone before me then lost it, so he’s not going to get one until he is fifteen:- ) and that was really cool. My average things were having kill another one of the pigs so now we only have two a boy and a girl. My cousins cat had kittens during the holidays, but they are still too little to get out of the room where they born. The things I didn’t like in the holidays were staying at my cousin's house when it was raining because their house is made of corrugated iron and it was really loud and I had a horrible sleep and when I woke up I stayed in bed till about ten thirty. One of the yum things were maki...
