Orana Park Trip

On Monday we went to Orana Park, The bus we went with 1 other class that was Bh. Well we were waiting for the bus we had a little morning tea. The bus we went on he was late so we were running late. When we got there there was someone who came to introduce herself to us after she did  that we went to this place near water. Then we got into groups we were already in groups as it was on our sticker that we had. It our name on it. Well we were going to a place to introduce herself we saw the Meerkats first as we were going. I was exited to feed the giraffes as I love giraffes as they are tall like me.


After they introduced there self i was in group 1 with miss birtch and with my friends Shanarnia, Paige and Rarotonga. The first things we sore were spider tail monkeys. we saw alot of things.

I really liked seeing the zebras, Keas, and giraffes. I was scared the giraffes were going to eat my hand instead of the tree branch.

P.E Blog post

Hey Welcome, today we are in P.E So far we have had 1 group teach us how to play a game the team name was French fries they Taught us how to play bench ball in the first hurumanu for P.E Mr Goodfellow taught us how to play bench ball but they just refreshed it in our brain.

For the warm ups we did were 40 star jumps, 20 high knees and then we did had to do 20 laps but then we did 10 as it was quite hard as we still had to play the game. Before we played the actual  games we played sneak up granny. That was fun I was close to getting to be the granny. After we did sneak up granny we played a small game of Bench Ball it was with year 7 Tz vs year 7 Bh then the year 8 Tz vs year 8 Bh. 

For the year 7s that was the group I was in as I am year 7 Tz won our game. I don't know who won for the year 8. Anyway after we did a small game of bench ball we then did a big game of bench ball it was Year 7 vs Year 8 But the year 7 had Miss Simpson. The Year 8's won.

Before we did the game for the last 1 week we were doing some maths it was how we had to paint the whole football field and had to make the 4 pitches. We had to find out how much paint we will need and how much money we need to by the paint. There was 20 litres in 1 can. Each litre painted a 10 metre line It takes 3 hours to paint each pitch. The tasks we did were hard and easy when we found out a strategy it was easy but when I found it did not work it was harder for me.

TerraCycle DLO

Hi Bloggers, welcome back. Today I am working with Shalizeh for this CIP project. We are making a DLO about Terracycle. We are making it so that we do not waste felts, pens, pencils etc. When we donate a kg we get a $1 back.  We are trying to spread this by putting DLOs on the tvs around the school and blogs letters teachers talking about it in the staffroom. The whole year 7/8 will help us with doing this. I predict we will collect at least 15-20kgs it just depends. The money we get i think we should put it towards new stationery. Here is mine and Shalizeh's work. 

Hurumanu Digitech

Hey Bloggers 

For the past few weeks we have been doing digital technology. We had to choose an issue, so I chose Environmental because there is lots of plastic in the ocean killing the sea animals. I choose this issue because I am an animal lover and I want the animals to survive and not to be extincted. 

• There is water pollution in the water there is lots of plastic and the sea turtles are thinking that the plastic is jellyfish so they eat it and then die.

• There is ocean trash which is killing the animals that is the same is the water pollution. 

• Flooding is another problem there is lots of flooding a round the country.

What are your thoughts? I'd love to hear!
