Mindfulness

                             Mindfulness 

Kia Ora bloggers, Today my blog is going to be about Mindfulness. So we would have
Mindfulness every Wednesday or Tuesday for a few weeks. But this week was our last Mindfulness sesion. Before we started our lesson we had to say what Mindfulness is. Which is: Mindfulness is Paying Attention to the Here and Now, With Kindness, Curiosity and Patience. Now it is time to start. First we had to get into our mountain pose and take some deep breaths to get started. 

Next we had to breath in and out but we had to roll ourselves and drop to see between  our legs. Then we had to roll into a ball and to squeeze our muscles. Then after that we did heaps of other stuff like lying down, Finding our breath, Listening to the sounds around us and getting into buddies and telling each other our favorite things. 

Hope you like my blog post and hope you leave a very nice comment

Intermediate visit

            Meeting our teacher and class rooms  

Kia Ora blogger, Guess where the year 6 went? we went to Waikowhai Intermediate to meet our teacher for next year. So I was in room 14 with 2 other people from my school which were Madison and Rael. In room 14 our teacher was Mrs Rodan. So before we got into our classes we had to know which class we were in. The David King(Principle) gave a  greeting and let the other teacher call our the students name and follow the teacher to your classroom. 

In my class we had to get our name tag and put it on a table. Then Mrs Rodan told us the thing that we were going to do next year like all of the activities and other stuff. Then we had to fill in a piece of paper of getting to know you. Then we got some  Camp and other information. 

My favorite part was when we got to see the different things that the Intermediate like music lesson and more other sports than primary.

I really liked learning about Waikowhai Intermediate and the different things. I can't wait to be in Intermediate next year.

Awesome Skateboarding

                         Awesome Skateboarding 

Kia Ora and Welcome bloggers. Guess what we did this week on Friday? We got to do some skateboarding (which is much more better than maths and reading). So there were two guys called Ben and Laurence who come from Young Gun Skateboarding School. Ben and Laurence taught us some new tricks on our skateboards. The things that were great about the lessons was that we got to learn new skills. We played Mr Wolf, tried not to not fall over, nose and tail parts, how to crab walk, ride a skateboard, being able to use the whole court, leaning how to tik tack on the skateboard, balancing on the skateboard and many more stuff to do on the skateboard. The thing that was challenging for me was that it was hard for me to try not crash into somebody and another thing was that I kept on falling off my board when I was doing some of the tricks coaches told us to do. What I have gained from learning to ride a skateboard is that we were working as a team, encouraging others, know that you can do this and making it a success. Then after we had some free time on our skateboards and going on the ramps. We all had so much fun learning how to ride skateboards with Laurence and Ben and we hope we keep on doing skateboarding. We also hope you get to ride one too.

Production 2020

                          Production 2020

 Kia Ora Blogger If you didn't see our production then read this and this will tell you all about it. Today's

blog is about our 2020 production. In week 5 of term four, we did our production which was held at Waikowhai Intermediate, called Jasmine and Aladdin .  We have been doing our production practice for 13 weeks which was pretty hard but we managed to get through the 13 practices. So in our production we had 9 scenes and we had 4 main characters . In week 1 to 4 we would have our practices after lunch break and sometimes after school. But on week 4 it was a little bit different because we would walk down the Waikowhai Intermediate to have a whole school practice and a dress rehearsal. 

In week 5 our shows are on Wednesday night, Thursday night and Friday morning. In the production I was the backstage crew which was someone who moves the props for the next part of the show. 

After the show I felt very proud of everyone because we put a lot of effort in to our show and we all worked as a team. 

In the production I was the backstage crew which was someone who moves the props for the next part of the show. The thing that was  hard for me was that I was getting mixed up with who was moving what for the next part. The easiest thing for me was that we worked as a team and helped each other out.

My favorite scene was scene 9 (Sultan's palace) because that scene was when Omar learned respect . He was never to be seen again and everyone was happy.

Baksetball

                                   Basketball

Hello bloggers, on the 9th of September we had our first day of having basketball lessons. So we would

have our basketball lessons on Wednesdays. On our first day of our basketball lesson, we had two coaches which were Mikey(who played for the Lakers) and Ronan. Mickey and Roman taught us some beginners skills. The skill that he taught us were in and out, Cross over, toilet and nutmeg. Then after that we had to dribble around and when Mickey or Roman calls our one of the skills we have to do it. Also every week we would do something different. For this weeks Wednesday we went onto our basketball court and we each got a ball and lined up on the white line. Once we all got a ball Ronan and Mikey would give us numbers either 1 or 2. 1s would go with Roman to do some shoots and number 2s would go with Mickey to go and do some layer ups. Then at the end of the lessons we would play a game which was called Number basketball. We all had so much fun with our coaches and we are happy that we had basketball lessons .

Hope you enjoyed my blog post!!!!!
