Month: March 2024

Today was once again a normal day we didn’t do anything special. In the first block, we went for a workout and did some suicides then we went for a swim and then the electricity was still fixing our lights so we played red light and green light outside and played a bit of infinity tag. After a whole block of playing games, we went and had our school assembly. After morning tea we did our writing and some math then it was lunch time so we had lunch and then played some dodgeball for years 5, 6, 7, and 8. After lunch it was time for our 21-day rubbish challenge this time we didn’t get as much rubbish as we usually do this time we got 220 pieces but it still kept our school in the lead with 4000 and something. After that, it was refuel time and we just played handball. In the last block, we just did our blogs and blog comments and then it was the end of the day and it was time to go home after a relatively good day.

The best part of today was playing dodgeball.

The worst part about today was picking up everyone’s rubbish around the school.

Anyway, that’s all for today see you tomorrow.

 

Today on our 21-day challenge we went under rooms 8, 7, and 6 and picked up just a tiny bit of the rubbish. For our 21 day challenge we have to pick up as much rubbish as we can and then the school in the new zealand that got the most rubbish in 21 days get’s a prize. Today 3763 pieces of rubbish which filled up 3 big bags of rubbish so that will keep us in first for a bit hopefully.

The best part about this was that were cleaning up the enviorment.

The worst part is that it’s not our rubbish and we have to clean it up.

Anyway other then that it was actual kinda fun so that’s all for today.

Today for swimming we had Nancy and did some swimming safety. First, we did about 4 strokes just to get warmed up and then we had to float on our back with one hand in the air for 5 minutes but everyone kept kicking me so I kept going under the water and getting water up my nose. After getting a whole bunch of water up my nose we swam to the other side of the pool, then we swam 4 laps of any stroke,  then we had to lie on our back for 5 minutes and then we got 5 minutes free time. After that, we had to hop out and get dressed.

The best part was having free time in the pool because we were diving for rings and had a competition

The worst part was just floating on our back because it was so boring and it felt like it went on forever.

Anyway, that’s all for today see you tomorrow.

 

Today after lunch we had a bit of a dirty activity. We watched a video about plastic pollution and how it ends up in the ocean every day. We learned that every minute a truckload of waste goes into the ocean, over 90% of sea birds have plastic stuck in their stomachs, and 1 in 3 species of marine mammals have been found entangled in marine litter.

After we had done all that research we went outside and picked up rubbish around our school for 10 minutes.  Our spot was across the road by North Drift. We got a pretty decent amount but not enough to win the challenge.

My favorite part was doing the reaserch and writing everything in our books.

My least favorite part was picking up the rubbish because it was descuting picking up other peoples rubbish. This was how much rubbish we got all togeather.

Today we had kapa haka so we started getting a bit more prepared for our big performance, not tomorrow but next Saturday. First, we practiced a full rundown of our bracket, and then we did it again but the kids who were not going to be performing on the day stood out for this one then we went over it again and practiced the entire thing.

The hardest part was playing my guitar for the Roop because I can’t play bar cords so I had to keep changing the capo to different areas.

The best part was doing all the solos even though I wouldn’t be there which was sad.

Anyway other than that, that’s all for today see you tomorrow.
