Netball

On Thursday 9th August two teams went to the Auckland netball tournament. We played six games in total. I played center my favourite position for the whole day. The six teams we played were :  Maungawhau, Balmoral, Owairaka, MENPS, (Mount Eden Normal Primary School) Marist and Edendale. It was really fun and a great learning experience because we had to persevere and be resilient. We won two of our games but the other team won their grade. I had lots of fun and I can't wait for the next competition.

Mary Mackillop Feast day

Today was Mary Mackillop's feast day. First we went to mass. Then we did some Mary Mackillop art. We dipped cotton buds in paint and then went carefully around the outline of Mary Mackillop, so it looked like a silhouette. Next we did some research on Mary Mackillop and made a slideshow about her. This is my painting. 

My Slides

In reading we have been learning about Pasifika myths. My group read The Turtles of Namuana. We then had to pair up and do a slideshow about it. Namuana is in Fiji. I chose The Turtles of Namuana because I like turtles and also because I liked the myth This is my slideshow.

Hauora

Today we learnt about Hauora. We brainstormed ways we got hurt and ways we could help people if they were hurt. Not only physically but also emotionally, socially and spiritually. Physically hurt means if somebody has been hurt on the outside. Emotionally hurt means somebody's feelings have been hurt. Socially hurt means when someone has been hurt in their social life. Spiritually hurt is when someone has been hurt in their religion or culture.  Everyone in our class made a hand and wrote people that could help us. I wrote family, friends, family friend, nurse and pets.
