Maths pattern

Today I have been learning to use Google draw to create a repeating pattern. I repeated my diamond shapes by making sure they were same size. I used two colours blue and green. On the odd lines I used the pattern green,blue,green,blue. On the even lines I started my pattern by going blue,green,blue,green,blue,green, I used black for my background colour..

ANZAC day celebration!

Last Friday St. Patrick's School sat next to the library to celebrate ANZAC day. First the year 8 students said a prayer with some of Room 7. On the crosses it says the New Zealanders names who died and some people were wearing poppies and I saw a cross and the New Zealand flag. Then we sang the national anthem. When we finished they said symbols during war. Afterwards we put crosses in front and poppies. Lastly we said a prayer and went home. 

WALT: Write a recount.
Success criteria: I know I can do this when I write a recount about ANZAC day.

Manaikalani schools

                                                   Manaikalani schools

Hurray!Today our school went to Pt England beach to meet people from Hawaii.

Firstly we take the bus and we had to have a partner, I was with Xyril. We had to walk in a straight line. I saw many students. When we were on the beach we all had to sit down on the grass next to Pt England school.

Next I saw students doing the haka when the people were coming on a inflatable boat and there were horns they were making loud noises like an elephant and I saw my brother. When the people where on the beach every school sang He Honore.

Then more people came from the waka and we sang another Maori song. We all sat back down and more people from the waka came. After they came a old man welcome them in Maori I couldn't understand it.

Lastly we shook there hands and high-five and walk in a straight line to the bus again. 

Tee Golf

Tee Golf

Have you played Tee golf ? It's awesome!

Three weeks ago, I learned how to hold the golf club. We had to hold it on the grip, I had a try. Coach Kannel told us left hand, right hand, feet together, left foot, right foot and piggy pop

Next coach Kannel told us the two golden rules '' be safe and have fun''.I was excited to do the warm up it was '' rob the nest''. I was number 3. When it was my turn  I went to the other team and I had to grab one ball.

Afterwards we played another game. I was in Vaughan's team. It was my turn, and I tried to hit the ball on the middle, but it didn't hit the red line.

Coach Kennel asked what respect means and Soane said'' respect means listening''and coach Kennel said yes.

Finally we went back in the classroom and our teacher said we had to write a story about the golf.
