Last week on Tuesday we went to the science roadshow. When we went inside it was full with lots of science experiments. My favourite one was the one with a little sphere ball that you can roll and then next to them their are some scents of fruits or juice and flowers such as coconut, orange juice, daisies, sunflowers and others. So we had to roll our finger on the ball and on the ball was the scent and we had to try and guess what scent it was and their was lots of buttons with the fruit or juice and we had to press the button and if it was correct it would flash with a green light and if it was incorrect it would show you the answer and the answer you picked will be the one that is red. So when we all sat down at the beginning we were learning about sound. As you may know their is high pitch of sound which is kind of squeaky and a low pitch sound is like the sound of a truck.

Tikanga Moari
Tikanga Maori
This week we were focusing on Tikanga Maori. Tikanga Maori mean Maori culture. So that means we were learning about Maori culture. To be honest it was really fun. We learnt the song that all of you maybe familiar with is the song Aotearoa by Stan Walker. It was my first time listening to that song but I got used to it really quick. It's stuck in my head!!. We looked at the video and the lyrics of the video. What made it tricky for me was all of those words that are seriously like tongue twisters. After practising it a several times we started making Poi's and Rakau sticks. I started of with making Rakau sticks and what I needed was 2 or 3 or more magazines and some tape

Week 5 reflection
Reflection-Week 5
😀
Super happy
On Monday I went to my swimming lessons with the whole group 4. We learnt how to use a life-jacket. So their were some challenges for us. Their were challenges like to fall backwards into the water, to drop like a pencil into the water and to do the challenges together.
I felt really excited to be learning how to use a life-jacket. We shared some different ideas of when we could use a life- jacket. So some of our ideas were to use them when you are going fishing or going to have a boat ride because you never know if the boat might drown. They could be use when your in the airplane.
My next step is to learn how I could improve my swimming skills and try and swim in deep water with a life-jacket on.

My reflection about the temple
💚
Loved it!
I chose this emoji because today I went to the Fo Guang Shan temple. I was so excited because I got to be the group 4's learner helper with Mervlyn. I learnt lots over their. We learnt about the 3 G and 4 G. The 3 G is say good words, do good deeds and think good thoughts. The 4 G is giving others so they were giving others confidence, giving others joy, giving others convenience and giving others hope. We got little tattoos with a little buddha sitting on a lotus flower and on the top it has either the 3 G or the 4 G symbol. We also learnt about the story of the buddha. He became a really important person because he did all those 3 G's and 4 G's and teaching younger and older people about it. At the temple we made little origami lotus flowers. So I found out about the story of the buddha when we were watching a movie. His story was very interesting.
My next step is to learn about the buddha more and find more about his life.

Blog reflection for term 2- 1st
Blog reflection- 1
What- What happened?: Today I went swimming with a group of people. We went to the Otara swimming pool. This was our first swimming lesson, their's going to be swimming lessons every Monday. So I went to swimming after iBreak 1 and we went in a swimming bus which takes us there. So today we had the challenge to complete some tasks. So we had to blow big bubbles, float on the surface of the water like a starfish, blow bubbles and swim to where the coach tells us to.
So what- what was the purpose of it?:
The purpose for this was that we could get better at swimming and survive when we are far away from land. The main reason is to not drown.
Now, what- What do you want to do next?-
My next step is to do all those moves by the end of the swimming lessons.
