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:

Please remember to leave comments on my blog. :)

Highlights of 2018

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 :)

Highlights of 2018!

One of my two academic highlights of 2018 for me has been my science fair project I am really proud of it because it got a bronze award and it took me ages and I am really proud of the end result. My other academic highlight for 2018 has been weeding and mulching at hamanatua stream because it gives me something to be proud of.

Two highlights for me this year have been working in the garden b Another highlight for me this year has been my awesome because I love weeding, planting and harvesting. My final highlight for 2018 has been my awesome classroom, room 1!

Photo or Faux Toe

On wednesday oka Maria came in she talked to us about how to tell if something is an actual photo or a Faux Toe. Koka maria gave us a website to use called pixler so we could photoshop some photos of our own ENJOY! (I chose a calico cat to photoshop)   :) 

Smart Media

Last week koka Maria came in and taught us about smart media. What we had to do was create a word art about ourselves one for at school and one for at home. Here are my word arts. Enjoy!

At school:                                                                  

   At home:                                                                                   

An Unexpected Visitor

We heard a knock at the door of our classroom we looked to see who it was and it was Meng Foon the mayor of Gisborne. He called in because he was waiting down at Hamanatua stream for us. He didn't know that we had postponed it because of the rain. When he came in we told him about our actions speak louder than words project.
The mayor kindly let us have a photo with him here it is to prove it!
