Energise

Yesterday, Whaea Gina came into Te Ngahere to teach us about takeaways and how they affect our health. She showed us how much fat that was in the different types of food. Whaea Gina showed us different takeout foods and we decided where they would go, below the healthy or unhealthy heart. Below the unhealthy heart there were foods like McDonalds and KFC. Below the healthy heart there were foods like sushi and Subway. The purpose of this was to teach us what we’re putting in our bodies.

Technology

This term in Te Ngahere we’ve been doing Technology. Our WALT was to create something useful for our class or school. Missy, Boombe and myself made three spice racks. We used timber to make our projects, everyone in our class made something different. We had to do things like measuring the timber, cutting it, drilling and staining. My favourite part was staining our wood. I think our projects came out pretty good and we’re really impressed with the finished projects.

Te Reo Maori Week

For the past few days at Paihia School we have been doing a Te Reo Maori rotation. We did the rotation to celebrate Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori. There were two leaders per house group and there were some groups that were combined. Payton and I were leaders of Rimu/Kowhai. We did different activities such as whare whare and reading activities. It was really fun and I hope to do it again!
