Taekwondo

 Kia Ora and welcome to our first blog post of 2021!

This week Miller Class had our first Taekwondo lesson with Miss Crossley. We played some warm up games that really tested our resilience and listening skills.


We can't wait to learn more skills next week!

And the winner's are......

Kia Ora Whanau.

This term we have been fully immersed in film making. We all worked in groups to plan,  create storyboards and scripts, and film our very own short films.

It was a great experience full of challenges and triumphs. We needed to collaborate effectively, be critical of our work and make changes to improve our submissions.

All of our films are worthy of being screened but we had to narrow it down to two amazing groups.

Here are the films that will be screened at the 2019 Ako Hiko Film Festival.

Enjoy.

Kali, Brooklyn, Madiha, Gabby, Yazmine and Lita

Netball Sessions

Namaste whanau!

For PE this term, we are lucky enough to have weekly netball sessions. We have had an absolute blast with our coaches Georgia and Antonia. they have taught us different types of passes such as chest, overhead and shoulder passes.

We have also learnt that in netball, you cannot move with the ball so it's really important to pivot your feet so you can turn and find someone to pass  the ball to.

Watch out for some of us in the Silver Ferns one day - we are pretty good now!

Lest we forget


Kia ora!

To commemorate ANZAC day on 25th April, we baked some ANZAC cookies with Novak Class. Did you know that women baked biscuits out of oats, butter, flour and sugar and sent them al the way across the world to the soldier who were fighting in the war? Back then it would have taken months for the biscuits to arrive and they were still edible!

When our ANZAC biscuits were ready to eat, we made some trenches out of our desks. We sat in really tight, cramped conditions and ate our cookies while we listened to sounds that you might hear if you were sitting in the trenches. It was a great to experience wha it might have been like to be at war. It really helped us understand how much our soldiers sacrificed for us.

Our Trip to New World

Aloha whanau!


Today we took a bus to New World where we met Adele. She challenged us to find a wide range of food items in the supermarket and read the nutritional information label on the back of the packet. We recorded the amount of sugar, sodium, fat and energy that each product had. 

When we got back to school, we talked about the different ways that companies advertise their products. We found it really interesting that sometimes a product looks healthy or has a reduced fat sticker on it but this doesn't necessarily mean it is a good choice for our bodies.
