Kayaking T4!

This Friday the Y7's & 8's planned a trip to Werowhite Water for kayaking. This would count as my second time kayaking. What did I enjoy? There were many things we did. Some I thought of as dangerous but it's alright. I enjoyed when I on purpose fell into the water. It was probably my biggest regret that but I'd do it again...but better. 

My First Day Back At School/ T4

Wow, the last term for 2020. It's going to be a very hectic term as the year 8's will be going off to college. It was normal as usual and I'd say it went well. My friends and I catched up on our long conversations. Ending off the day, I realised that time goes by very fast. 

Māori Language Week! 🇳🇿

 This week is Māori Language Week. During this week I learnt about the interesting myths and legends about the Māori history. Hopefully everyone tried their best to learn something/new things about this culture. I enjoyed this week a lot because on Friday the Y7's & Y8's performed a haka for the outro of Room 6's assembly. 

Technology: Control // T3W9

During this term my group exchanged classes. So now we'll be doing "Control". Specifically this week we tried out this quiz game. Basically you have a time limit and in that time limit, you have to select the correct dots that relate to the mbot (the machine you see on the picture)

Here is my best score that I got while playing this game.

Researching About Sleep

For inquiry Room 7 are researching and learning about sleeping. Sleeping is a daily thing we all use in our lifes and is apart of our priority. We divded into groups and found out lots of facts and information to use in our shared slideshow. One interesting statement I thought suprised me was when I researched about "Why we move in our sleep?". 

When sleeping our brainstem (the side of brain connecting to your spinal cord) sends signals to weaken muscles which move your body. These muscles are being hypnotized by the brainstem which makes your body controlled by the brainstem. *Let's hope that makes sense*

Tongan Language Week! 🇹🇴

Happy Tongan Language Week!! As today is the second to last day of Tongan Language Week, I hope everyone had a great experience learning this culture.  We couldn't really celebrate as much since of Covid-19 but it doesn't mean we cannot celebrate it. I saw many sight seeing posts of people performing a tau'olunga and many more. 

Ko ha uike fakaʻofoʻofa ʻeni! (English Translation: It was a great week)
