EOTC Week!

This past week Ako Ngatahi and Ruma Toru have been at EOTC week. EOTC week stands for ' Education Outside The Classroom' week. The year fives and sixes were allowed to come to EOTC Week, the catch was that we had to pay $50 dollars to attend, 3 kids couldn't come sadly. The events we went to were Surfing, Adrenalin forest (The best), Sailing (Which was canceled sadly) and last but not least we went to Mega air and we also did Top Team(My team won). We all had lots of fun and we all enjoyed it. Here are some photos of what we did and the places we went. My favorite event was Mega air and Top team, We all had fun so that was good.

Adrenalin forest is where you basically climb on trees, You have obstacles you have to face  and there are 3 levels, 1, 2 and 3.  2 and 3 I didn't get to complete because Everyone was crowding number 1 and I wanted to number one to see how it was.

Surfing was also fun but seaweed was EVERYWHERE, Literally. We  all had spent 6 minutes cleaning the seaweed off and us girls had to was our hair. We had a lot of fun. We did surfing and body boarding, everyone loved body boarding





We also found a Photo of Mr. Scott on the Flying fox so here you go, Mr. Scott on a Flying Fox

Sunday's Earthquake.

On Sunday night, well Monday morning there was a earthquake that shook New Zealand. The earthquake was about 7.5, Our biggest earthquake for 2016!  The earthquake happened at about 12:08! I was sleeping when this happened, my nana woke me up and told me to go to my brothers room. I didnt't know what happened because I was sleeping, so was my brother. I slept in his room for 1 minute untill my nana told me that there was a earthquake. I was too tired to understand what happened so I went to sleep. Some of the damage is dangerous. here are some photo's of the damage in kaikora, where the earthquake did its worst.

I learnt the food groups which are Fruit and Vegges, Meat and protein, grain products, milk and dairy and junk and sugars! We had to do some activities like copying photo's from magazenes and glueing them to a piece of paper. I had lots of fun learning about health and found out some interesting things about health too!

My free day in Burma

My free day in Burma


My holiday was the best holiday I could have. I went with my cousin, my cousin's parents, my aunt and uncle and our grandma. We went to a new country called Burma, it used to be called Myanmar though. The flight and tours were all done by our uncle.

It was our free day with no tour so me and my cousin decided to spend the whole day at the swimming pool. That idea was in the drain because my cousins parents had other plans. My uncle, auntie and grandma had gone for a walk with my  other auntie so me, my cousin and her dad went for a for a horse ride. Someone else was steering the horse while talking to my other uncle. If we steered the horse i’m pretty sure we would of gotten lost. The driver's name was Tin-Tin.

We were riding down the roads back to the hotel when the horse suddenly stopped. Me and my cousin thought it was her dad, he had a swollen leg because he drank a lot of  beer. Turns out the horse was thirsty and hot, I would agree because the temperature was about 36 degrees and I was just wearing a dress.

We were right near a taxi shop so we decided to get on the taxi back to the hotel. When we got back to the hotel my other uncle said that we could go swimming. Me and my cousin rushed to the hotel room and unlocked the door with the key. We changed and ran to my other uncles room. We were so excited to spend the whole day at the pool that we might of stepped on something weird. I can’t tell what it was but it was something.

When we got to the pool we jumped in, well dived in. I was wearing a blue bracelet that looked really nice, the pool had A LOT of chlorine in it so it dulled the bracelet.  I was sad about that was just plastic. We were thirsty so my other uncle was kind enough to get us Coke. When we were about to drink our Cokes my other auntie came and swam with us. My other uncle was in the spa area with our drinks.

1 hour later we were going to get lunch, my cousins parents promised that they would take us swimming after we ate so we agreed with that. We were going to ‘The Seven Sisters’ restaurant for lunch. I had gotten Spaghetti Bolognese for lunch with potato chips. My cousin had gotten chicken pieces  that tasted like KFC. My cousin had said ‘THEY HAVE UNLOCKED THE KFC CHICKEN SECRET!’when she ate the chicken. I had facepalmed at that. Later when we came back to the hotel we asked my cousins parents if we could go swimming, they lied to us and said that we couldn’t go anymore.


After my cousins parents said that my cousin became all sad and angry, all she did was just nod to what I said and spoke like she was dead. I decided to record for my youtube channel so I asked her if she could record for me. I had no recording system and she did! We tried to record but we were interrupted a lot! One minute I was just trying a texture pack on minecraft with my tablet, next minute I’m lost in creative on a infinite world! My cousin was the smarter one and said to go on survival and kill myself. I did what she said and after I hugged her and screamed out ‘THANK YOU’ 3 times. She started saying random things like ‘ I’m the smarter one here in this family!’ and ‘ How did you not know that!?’. I was getting quiet annoyed so I went to my Grandma and sat next to her. I started watching something on a app called ‘ Wondershare’. I was watching a youtuber called Aphmau and some of her livestreams I saved on my tablet. It was a fun and crazy day so I called it a night after we ate. I had eaten chips with my cousin. Then everybody else came and ate when we finished.
`

Conclusion:
This day was the most funnest day I ever had since the day I found a random toy for easter hidden by one of my other uncles. I had lots of fun swimming at the pool and drinking Coke the whole day! I would say that everyone else had a good time too, I heard that my auntie had something called a Fa-loo-da. I was a little jealous about that but still tried the Fa-loo-da after this day. I by far had the funnest trip in about 5-6 years! I hope I can go on a trip like this again soon!

Movie Term!

This Term for sandpit Term Ako Ngatahi have been learning how to make movies! We were allowed to work in groups for the movie projects, I chose to work with Dominique, Blessing and Ruby! We were doing a music video about the song, Cake but we didn't have time to do it. Then we chose to do a Instructional Video about how to make an Apple Swan, that didn't work either. Then our last choice was to do a Timelapse about a candle burning on top of an playdough cupcake. We havn't really finished the Timelapse but we really hope to. Here are some photo's of us attemped to make an apple swan and one of us trying to find what to do. Ruby wasn't here for a week so we were left to do it ourselves.

Me failing on trying to make an apple swan
