Beeswax Wraps

In Te Ngahere we have been learning how to make beeswax wraps in class. After morning tea we got a piece of fabric to color, write or draw on. Then we took it to the whare kai and dipped it in wax. I grabbed mine and held it over cardboard. I think I did well by doing a good design on my fabric. I enjoyed writing on my fabric with some color. I wrote my friends names on it like Keekee, Boombe, Stilly, Missy, Payton, Mihi, Fonz, Lesane, Ezra, Izaiah, Tarquinn, Kiana and Saff. We made beeswax wraps to save plastic.

Technology

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about how to make a shelf out of pallets to sell for our next term camp. We don’t know where we are going but I’m sure it’s going to be fun. We had 4 pieces of wood and cut them in half with a saw. After that we cleaned the wood with the belt sander and the orbeltool sander. Then we didn’t get to finish it but the next day we will. Here is our plan down below.

Year 7s and 8s 7s Tournament

On Tuesday some year 8s, 7s and 6s went to Moerewa to play a 7s rugby tournament. We played Kerikeri, Kaingaroa and Okaihau. Also there were other teams like Kawakawa and Kaikohe. It was a year 8s and 7s tournament but Isaiah S and I were very lucky to go because we are the only year 6s that went. We had three games. We won 1 game and lost the other two games. The funnest thing that happened at the tournament was that we had lollies.

Whaea Gina

Te Ngahere has been learning how to eat healthy.  Whaea Gina came to our school and talked to us about how much sugar is in different types of drinks like Mother, V, Powerade, coke, water, chocolate milk and juices. There was colors that you have to put the right drink on. The colors were green, orange and red. Green means every day, orange means every week and red means every month.  Water went on green, then coke went on red and chocolate milk went on orange. The highest limit of sugar that we should have is 5 teaspoons. What I could do better to become healthier is eat less sugar. What I learnt from Whaea Gina was how many teaspoons of sugar are in each drink and how to stay healthy.

Maths Goals

In Te Ngahere we have been creating maths goals. We have been learning to set new goals to focus on this term. I think I did well at setting the right goals and I enjoyed making the writing fancy and the background. I think I could dos better at achieving some of them for this term. We had to pick 1 algebra goal, 2 knowledge goals and 2 addition and subtraction.
