E village / Museum visit

This term so far has been so busy! So far we have  been weeding and mulching down at Hamanatua stream, we have gone to the museum and E village, we have gone on a bike trip and we have been practicing really hard for the gym festival. We have got so much more cool stuff coming up.

Our inquiry topic this term is Retro Tech. Last week we went to the museum and E village to learn more about Retro tech and technology of the future. It was so much fun at the museum we got to write our name with quills (feathers). We got to look at tonnes of other old items in the museum, I really enjoyed it.

Then we walked to the electric village. There we learnt about transport of the future. It was so cool. We got to ride on an electric scooter, complete activity  and control robots using ipads! And when we left we got a free lollipop. Overall I really enjoyed going to the museum and E village.

Escape from kraznir

Last term my early level four writing group started a story writing adventure called escape from kraznir. It is so much fun! We have some slides on our hub witch act as templates. Our writing is still a work in progress and NEEDS editing. Here is my escape Kraznir writing so far. Enjoy! :) (here is a teaser)

Escape From Kraznir

Term 1 refection

Overall I have really enjoyed term one. We have been up to lots of interesting stuff such as camp, duathlon,  swimming sports, mulching, we are going to make feijoa ice-cream and are going to have an easter raffle draw on Friday. I really hope I have sold the most the most tickets. I sold nine sheets that would be ninety tickets. It is the last week of the term. I will tell you next term if I won any prizes from the easter raffle and I will tell you how the ice cream went.

Swimming Sports

On Tuesday year threes,fours,fives and sixes had swimming sports. There were three strokes freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke. I participated in backstroke and freestyle (I really hate breaststroke). I got 3rd in backstroke, I am so proud of myself. It was so much fun.

Here are some photos:

Invasion of the Fennel

Wainui Beach school pepeha:
Ko maungaroa te maunga,
Ko te oho-O rawiri te marae,
Ko Hamanatua te awa.


Today all of Moana went down to Hamanatua stream. The fennel had grown so high in just over six weeks, luckily we had extra help, we had almost two classes down at hamanatua but it still took forever to finish. It was so worth it after we had finished, the trees had grown so much since last year. Although it wasn't sunny it was still very hot. Now the whole of Moana stinks of fennel!


Here are some photos of us working:

It is nearly the end of the school year there is only three days left until the summer holidays because it is getting so close to the end of the year we had to write down two academic highlights so that is two highlights about our learning and what we have been doing this year. We also had to write two other highlights. Here are my 2018 highlights. Enjoy :)
