This whole term we have been doing a weather report in Māori. We had a choice to be with a buddy or work by yourself, I chose to work by myself. It took a while to get it finished but it was incredible. The hardest part about it was making the DLO, the easiest part was pronouncing the words.
Have you ever made a weather report in Te Reo Māori before?
On the last day of term three we did Cross Country at Bledisloe and I was so excited. There was so many things to do and eat. The year sixes had to wait for 12 groups of people until our turn. It was so hard because we had to run around the field and then we had to run up this big hill and we had to run back down and run to the finish line, Unfortunately, I came second to last but when I got to the finish line I went straight to the juicy stall. The reason why I got a juicy was because it was so HOT! But it was super fun. Did you do Cross Country ?
Today, we had someone come in to teach us how to play cricket. We had to be in pairs and my partner was Mahana. One person had the bat and the balls and had to hit the balls to the other person on the other side. The man that was teaching us was named Neil. After we practiced with the bat and the ball we played a quick cricket game, half of the group had to hit the ball and the other half had to catch the ball and I was hitting the ball with the bat. I learnt a lot about cricket and how to play cricket. It was hard because I couldn’t hit the ball but the easy part was catching the ball. Do you like cricket ?
On the last day of term three my family and I went away to Auckland for my uncles birthday. The first thing we did was go see my family and then we went to watch my uncle bungee jump off the Harbour bridge. Later that night all the adults went to Spookers Haunted Attraction while my sister, aunty and I waited in the car. Spookers used to be a mental hospital and you go inside and there are lots of people dressed in spooky costumes scaring you, I could hear them screaming from the car, it’s that scary! Our trip was so much fun. What did you do in the holidays ?
