Beach Day

Yesterday, November 12th, my class, Dht went on a school trip to Otaki beach. We left school at about 9:30 off to the beach. Nicky was my groups van driver. When we got to the beach there was life guards waiting at the surf club for us. Their names were Sophrose, Cassie, Lisa and Damien. They took us on a tour around the surf club. After that we went up stairs and they talk a little bit about what they do and stuff like that.

After they gave us a tour we learnt about the dangers in the water and how we can see them from shore. They taught us about rips which is a very strong current. They can pull people out just behind the waves. The way you can see a rip is if the waves are criss crossing into each other, calm water in spots, foamy water floating out to sea in a line and debris which mean rubbish or stuff in a different language. After we went and did a 30 minute rubbish pick up along the beach. we got a lot of rubbish.

Then we had morning tea and we sat outside and ate and talked. After that we learnt about CPR and we did it on fake people. Then we played some games. The first game we did was a eating challenge which was weetbix one. It was the first 3 people to eat a dry weetbix. Then we split into two teams and we had a race you could make the highest pyramid tower. Then we did the chubby bunny challenge which was very gross because I hate marshmallows. I could only fit 6 marshmallows in my mouth. 

Then we had lunch. during our lunch time we had to get changed to go swimming after lunch. After lunch we played beach flags. I was in the top 10. The top three people were Lycan, Phoenix and Harrison. Aftert that game we went the equipment shed and got boogey boards. I caught like 5 waves into shore. It was really fun. After swimming for a long time we all went and had showers and got changed. 

They then took us out on the deck and asked us questions about what we learnt. I got two answers right so I got two chocolates. I had a really good day at the beach.

ROAR

Why do we have ROAR and why is it important?
I think we have it to remind ourselves to follow them, and so we can follow the ROAR everyday. I think it important because without them there would be nothing for us to follow and there would be no expectations of what we need to try and achieve.

ROAR:
Respect - look at the teacher and listen.

OC pride - Wear the correct uniform at all times.

Active learner - Finish tasks that have been set for you on time.

Responsibility - Get to classes on time after breaks and in the morning.

My Labour Weekend

During the weekend on Sunday 27th October. My uncle, Kara took me and my sisters out to river stone cafe. When we got there I got macaroni and cheese. It was so yum. After that he dropped us off at my dads house. When we got back home my dad was outside building his tiny home.

Later that day I got a text from my best friend, Kyana. She asked if me and my sister, Nova wanted to go for a walk with her to Crystals Bend. We immediately said yes. Her and her mum, Mel later came a picked us up. We got Kyana's baby nephew Ruben and went on the walk. When we started walking the track was really bumpy.

So we had to turn around because the pram was shaking and didn't look comfortable for Ruben. After we got back to the car Mel decided to take us to Kyana's grandparents. After spending half an hour there we dropped Ruben off at his house. Then Mel dropped me, Nova and Kyana off at my dads. Kyana stayed the night at our house with us.

The next day we woke up had showers and got dressed. We then all hopped in the car and drove to Porirua. After we got to a mall there we looked in some shops and went up tot he food court. Me, Nova and Kyana all got some sushi. My Little sister, Darby got a wrap, and my dad had a coffee. After we finished eating we went and looked at heaps of shops, like Kmart, Footlocker, Stirling sports and Lovisa.

We didn't buy anything though because there wasn't anything we liked.  After we left the mall we drove back home. Before we came home we went to Koru Ice and got a ice-cream. Then we dropped Kyana off and my dad dropped us back at my mums house.

I had a great labour weekend.

My Week

To stay focused on my work so I can get it done when the teacher expects it done.

My Holidays

On Saturday 29 September I went to a cafe/garden area in Kaitoke near Upper hutt . I went there

with my mum, sisters, Kyana ( my best friend), aunty, cousins, and my nana. We went there to

take photos for my cousins baby. They had heaps of cherry blossom trees along all the paths

and they had really cool water features. We walked around and took photos of Navarah for like a

hour and a half.

Later that day we went to denny's for dinner I got wedges. After that we went to

Kmart for fun and just looked around and played with the stuff they had there. After that we went

home and we went to my nana and granddads to give my granddad his birthday present.

When my mum, sisters and Kyana went home I stayed the night at my nanas.

The next day I walked to my cousin, Sharnahs house and got her baby and took him to my nanas. When my other cousin came home from her work I just sat and played video games with her while my nana looked after Navarah.

My Weekend

WALT: use the simple sentence in our writing.


Friday 30th August Kyana and I went to centre skate. Centre Skate is a place where you can hire roller skates/blades. We got there at 6pm and it ended at 9pm. When it ended my dad picked me and her up and we got dropped off at Kyana's house.

When we got to Kyana's house we just played on our phones, then we went to sleep. The next morning we woke up and went out side and layed in the sun. It was really hot on Saturday.  We were so bored for ages.

Kyana's mum, Mel brought us subway for lunch. After Mel left to go somewhere  me and Kyana went to town to get a ice block. When we got back we found some rocks and we painted them. It took 2 hours. For dinner we had toasties. Soon after my dad came and picked me up from Kyana's house.
