Our Mainfreight” Calendar Art
Yesterday we were doing our mainfreight calendar art so basically what we have to do is we draw what we like about school. What I enjoy at school is when Mr Bell puts on booklet on the screen I love the question so much because it could be so interesting, also after you answer the question you go on a game after games could be so fun. Booklet almost like Kahoot but better sometimes you can even get more characters by the way I am almost done with mine but its really fun drawing.
Saint Patrick’s Day
After morning tea on 18th march we went up to the canopy because we are going to play games and to celebrate Saint Patrick’s day. After we walked up to the canopy our principal divided the whole school into five teams and there were 10 people for each team. When everyone was talking the principal rang a bell it was loud of course, everyone became silent as soon she rang the bell we got up and started to walk up to the bottom court. When we arrived we saw a teacher Mrs Kyle and Mrs Kyle was telling us how to play the game the game is called modified netball and netball is just like basketball but netball’s ball is smaller than basketball how we played it was like basketball but we have to pass three times. After we passed three times we had to pass to a little one to shoot the hoop.
When we were having fun we heard a bell ring. What we did was line up and walk up to the next game. When we were going to Mr Carroll game it’s called spoon. How you play the game is you have a spoon and you have to run around a red cones two times and green one two times too. It took me 2 attempts to get it as I was going to get another turn when we heard another bell. When we lined up then started to to walk up to room 2’s game and their game is called sashes it was really fun as me and Daniel were helping them to go faster we got to more then 20 points as we were going great but another bell rang. When the bell rang we lined up again walked up to Room 6’s game the game that room 6’s is the game cricket but no batter only bowler But I did not want to have a turn wanted to give the others to have fun but I was at the back because I wanted to play the next game as we were having fun we heard a bell again.
When we heard the bell we quickly lined up and walked up to the top court and what we are playing is scatter ball. Mr Bell was telling the little ones how to play. While Mr Bell was telling the little ones to play. After Mr Bell was teaching them our opponent finally came as we were doing perfect then the final bell rang. We lined up and went back to the canopy because the principal has a gift for us. It was a surprise but when our principal came she was carrying a box with her it was full of ice blocks. As the principal gave an ice block beach ball for one each.

The Hauraki Gulf marine reserve
Today mytable group are researching about the Hauraki Gulf Marine Reserve and learning facts. Did you know about the Hauraki Gulf Marine reserve is known for the part of the largest single single area of flat land in the north island? The Hauraki Gulf is special because the coastal marine area was bordered by extended estuaries and wetlands and lush coastal forest, providing a rich haven for land – based and marine life.
The Hauraki Gulf is 7200 years old and over 25% of the southern hemisphere’s marine mammals have been seen in the marine park, it is also visited by more than 20% of the world sea birds.
There are 6 islands in Hauraki Gulf which is Rangitoto Motutapu Waiheke, Aotea ( Great Barrier Island), Tiritirimātangi and Goat island. Hauraki Gulf is 1.2 million hectares, and if you convert that to acres, you get 2965264 acres, and if you convert that much acres to square meters, you get 1.1999998e+10 square meters.
My sailing lessons
Yesterday, on Thursday, 29/02/24 we had sailing lessons, with yachting with new Zealand
The first thing we did was walk to the lagoon lake. It was far but worth it, after we finally arrived at the lagoon lake, the instructor introduced themselves. Their names are Steph, Allie and Blair. Steph taught us how to use the sail, rudder and also the centerboard. Finally we got to partner up with someone. My partner is my best friend Jaeden, and we took boat number 2 to the water. The boats, 1,3,4,5,6 came after us. I was on the rudder part and it was hard at first but I got used to it. We were going slow at first but after I found out how to move fast, it was pretty easy after Steph told us to chase her bubbles from her engine. when we were close to her, she just accelerated and told us to catch the ducks. Jaeden and I caught 2 ducks. We also teamed up with Graziel and Marii to be honest. Graziel did the most work with Marii but Jaeden and I both did the same as we have flipped the boats me and
Jaeden was struggling but after 5 minutes we got it back up when we boarded we realized that Jaeden’s hat was lost we were looking for it but we did not find it soon we might find it as we got out of the water. We done some land activity and its about the knots and pulleys. As the year 5’s got out we packed up and left.
My summer holiday
This summer holiday I traveled from Auckland to wellington. It was a 20 hour drive, that’s why we stopped on taupo to go camping.
Once we left our home we made sure our tiers were not flat and also we checked the food. Then we were going to the tire shop, the person that was working there gave me gummies.
My brothers were jealous because I got gummies and they didn’t.
Once we arrived we saw a river so me and my dad said we could swim there later after we ate. After we found a spot for camping we setted up the tents but we did not know that my tent has a coat for the wet like rain.
What we ate was pork adobo.
We don’t care if it’s cold, we have a gas stove.
After we ate we went to the river and my dad got the fishing rods and set them up but sadly we did not find any fish. I was scared at first but I got used to how I got scared because of the root.
When I was checking the depth of the river I was holding on to a root.
When I was swimming to see how deep it was, it suddenly fell down to the big crack.
Not even my 5’6” brother could not reach it.
If I was there I would drown there if it happened to my little brother.
He fell there too but luckily my oldest brother came to him in time.
After we were done we ate dinner to sleep.
The next day we ate breakfast and left for Wellington.
By the time we got there we had already booked a hotel for the 3 nights.
We checked the rooms its only small but is worth it at least we got a home to sleep on we explore the hotels the next thing is we check the television if it had youtube but sadly it doesn’t.
By the time we slept we also watched youtube on my phone. I got the internet because it’s free.
All I had to do was sign in and then I slept.
The next day we went to my aunty’s house.
It was not that big but it had 2 televisions and an expensive vacuum cleaner plus a play station 5.
My dad and mum helped my aunties make dinner as soon as dinner was finished they said that the gravy with the mashed potatoes was delicious and after dinner we had ice cream and whipped cream and chocolate.
The time we finished dinner we brought some leftovers of course and we drove off to the hotel and sept the final day and as we went home everyone was asleep. The end
