Going to Hamilton

Tena Koutou Kato

I don't know about your holidays but mine were great. In the holidays I travelled to Hamilton with my family to visit our cousins. We stayed in a fancy hotel called Novotel, it had an all you can eat buffet. If you don't know what a buffet is, it is when you're at a hotel and chefs cook lots of food and you can eat what ever you like. At the buffet there was a self making pancake machine. My family also brought a new car so that was one of my other highlights. I had a great holiday.

Ohaeawai Schools Commonwealth Games

Hi fellow bloggers
In term 1 Ohaeawai School put on their own Commonwealth Games. The seniors got into groups and decided a game and planned it, and got the equipment for the game. We also made a flag of a country that participated in the Commonwealth Games. We also made a poster that said Jamaica because our flag was Jamaica. We also had to make an advertisement and rules poster but my rules were on my advertisement poster.   

Hockey

On Thursday we went out to hockey it was really fun all the year 6's went first then the year 5's when it was the year 5's turn we go into groups  and there were cones in shapes of a circle, square and a triangle. we dribbled a ball around the cone shapes everyone did it, it was a competition. After everyone in my team did it we all bobbed down and waited for the two other teams too finish. It rained a little but we still played and after we did that we swapped shapes and after we finished that little game we played instructions. It's when we dribbled the ball up and down and left and right and after that we went back to the class room.

Swimming

Hi, On Wednesday my class and I were learning how to survive in the water with clothes on. When we were in the water the person that was teaching us to float with clothes on said "you're going to float with your clothes on for two minutes". I did not make it. After we floated with clothes on we had to float and take off our clothes but luckily we had our togs on underneath, It was really hard to swim with clothes on. Here is a picture of swimming.
