surfing

At Pompallier School from year 6 to 8 we went surfing at ahipava beach. We had a fantastic day with our surf coach mark,jack and e,en that had come all the way from whangarei. So what we did was we got split into 2 groups. Then while one group surfing the other group was swimming in the river or doing other things. I had a fantastic time and our surf coach's said ever time you get up on your board you have to do the Shaka. The coach's taught us all about water safety and how to be safe on your surf bored. It was a fun day but ever time I standard up on my board It was the best time.

Advent

W.A.L about Advent

 we are learning about Advent we learnt all about what advent is and I learnt that Advent is a season leading up to Christmas. It starts with four Sundays before December 25 or sometimes in the last weekend of November or sometimes on the first Sunday of December. We also Laurent about the symbols of Advent the symbols are on a wreath with four or five candles. one candle is pick and the other 3 are purple. The four candles all represent the four Sundays.     

I'D Rather knot

In kakapo class on our literacy contract we have a activity called I'd rather knot. So what we did was we made a poster on Google draw and we showed a picture of each knot and explained what each knot was good  for you to use and other things. This is my one

google ninja test.

Every week on Thursday in Kakapo class we have manaiakalani to teach us all about being cyber smart but this week in Kakapo class we came across this thing named the Google Docs Ninja challenge. What the Ninja challenge does is it helps us learn short cuts on all devices and can help us improve our device abilities. I really loved this challenge and I'm happy that I completed it. I will definitely use what I have learned when I am on my device. But we would have never done this challenge if we didn't see it on our buddy pass blogs last week.

Come on try the ninja challenge your self!

You are now a Google Docs Ninja!

Then second was long jump and again I didn't get a placing but it still went well. Then treed was high jump I did come second equal with my mate koby. Then we just did fun activities had a break and after was the 200 meters I came second in that.        

why I enjoy manaiakalan

I really enjoy doing Manaiakalani because we get to learn on our devices and have fun.  We have learned how to be Cybersmart , do animations, use google draw and we have our own blogs.  Mrs Cutler started a class site for us where our contracts go and any other digital links we need.  Manaiakalani taught me a lot of things to do on my devices like shortcuts which are quicker things so it doesn't take too long, how to take a screenshot and more. I love Manaiakalani because now we have our own buddy class where we can read their blogs and comment, they live in Gisborne.
