Rugby!!

 Tomorrow is our first rugby game Wainui wasters Vs Saint marys.  Today we had rugby training we had a special coach come in to teach how to win the ruk.  A ruk is when someone gets tackled goes down and 5-7 people run in and push the opision off the ball.  This where I come in I run up behind rip the ball the pass it to the wingers.  But my mum forget to remind me to get my rugby stuff so I played in my shoes.  Our game is at our school which means its called a home game so we each have to bring a plate of food. 

    

Beach clean up

 On Wednesday we went to Wainui Beach consideiring our school is one road and 10 meters of sand dunes away. Rori, Momo and I were in a group for a beach clean, it sounds boaring but there is so much cool stuff to find. One group found three balloons. Our group found a little styrofoam bear he was so cute.

We found a sick river wave then we finger surfed it with some drift wood then we got told off because Raphi kept going in the water. We walked back on the road and found tons more stuff like gloves, plastic bags and even found five pie bags. Back at school the other kids where planting beetroot, celery and peas.

We sorted all the rubish turns out we had more than we thought and the teacher said we could all get a prize it was fun THE END.

THE GAME!

Our inqury focus this year is about korora/little blue penguins. Our teacher found a game for us to play we have to go through what the little blue penguins do just to get to the beach. Here is the instructions to the game if you want to play.

There is a chalk grid of as many squres as you want 1 person is the comander he/her draws threats in some squres. The threats can be oil leaks,stoats,cats and dogs and many more. Then 1 or more people play as the penguins the have to go through the threats the comander puts down. If a penguin/he or her playing, steps on a threat they are out. Thats how you play if you have any questions tell me thim in the comment section bellow.                                                                               

Little Blue Penguins

On Wednesday we went to deliver some surveys to people in Douglas and Moana RD. The survey was asking people if the have ever seen little blue penguins. There were 3 groups Koka Ngaires, Koka Rozies and Steffans. Steffan's and Koka Rozie's groups went down Douglas and my group/Koka Ngaire's group went down Moana.

We started with two surveys, I did the first two houses. Then went to the back, since there were around 15 people in our group I had to wait until our group did a full circle and came back to me. I did another two, then we finshed and walked back to school.

I wonder how many people have seen Little Blue Penguins? 

Action day!

 Tuesday, this day was so fun we got to redo our class vege garden we found all the kumara got rid of the raspberry bushes took out a whole lot of strawberrys found alot of squashy and even some pumpkin s we also found some beetroots and some carrots.

This all started when we took out all the kumara this job was an allday job because there were more than 100 kumara underground waiting for us to pick them. Then Rori,cash and I took out the raspberry bushes out and put them in some water. All the other kids were taking out weeds and strawberrys  every one was set.

Rori,Cash and I got rid of all the unwanted weeds and unwanted plants and put them in garden waste. We have a grape vine that we left on and it is full of grapes. We harvested alot of kia most of it will go to the school hangi.

This day made me feel very happy and it was very exthuaseding though. I never new how fun gardning was.

Skake and Run!

 A huge wave rolled into Tokomaru Bay as all the people fled into the hills because there was a tsunami warning. Friday night we had a monster earthquake. It shook the ground and all the houses too. 

This earthquake came all the way from Te Araroa yet it reached people in Napier. This earthqauke shook the whole North Island. It was 7.2 magnatude and the real big one that destroyed the whole of Christruch was 7.4, so we where really close.

This was a pretty cool but scary moment for me and my family to exsprience this earthquake. It just goes to show the this stuff can't always be predicted and they do what ever they want. These things are very deadly and are nothing to joke about. Who knows, with in 5 seconds your whole house could be gone but in my opinion, these types of disarters are the worst.

I just hope we don't get any other big earthquakes. I think its the South Island's turn for a big one!(jokes)
