Ki-O-Rahi Writing

Who:  Rm1 and Rm 5

What: We played a Moari game named Ki-o-rahi

Where: On both of the school courts (Outside)

When: On Monday the 29th of June

Game 1: First Mrs Moala gave us a belt and
two different coloured tags and then
Tyson the teacher that was coaching us
taught us how to play and then he put
us in Taniwha or Kioma. My group was
in Kioma with green tags and the other
team Taniwha with purple tags.
Then we started the game and I
was put as the person to touch
the rubbish bins with some other
people that were in my class.
In the middle of the court the
two people from my team had to
protect the tupu so that the other
team didn’t get the point.
It was a tough game but we
still tried our best to get
the point for our team. Moui,
that person that was in our team but
he was meant to be in the other team,
had made us get points also Jayah,
we then got some points. This game
was a little hard because the year
8 boys were so competitive when they
were playing. We played for a while
and then we had to switch.
We had to defend the other group
from throwing the ball at the tupu
so that they didn't get any points.
As we were playing the yr 8 boys
then had to leave for their camp
meeting and we were now in the lead
because the yr 8 boys had left and
we had our opportunity to win.
We then won the game by 18 to 12
points and we were so happy about it,
after game 1 we had to go to game 2
on the other side of the school.

Game 2: After we went to play on
the other court and played again.
First we got one person on each team
to do rock paper scissors and we won so
we chose which team and we chose Taniwha
the other team was very good so we switched
and then we were Kioma and we were doing good
we got a few tries and lost then a few people
stayed behind and helped then we went back to class.

Thank you to Tyson and Mrs Va’afusuaga for
setting up Ki-O-Rahi. We really enjoyed playing it.

Choose it writing/Recount

 ( Write a recount to tell your audience about something fun you did during isolation.)

Something that I did fun in my isolation is baking and also playing outside with the chalk and doing the hopscotch game and doing the game my mum played back in the olden days when she was my age. Me and my mum baked Banana Muffins, Chocolates Muffins and also Plain muffins, when we were doing the Banana Muffins we forgot to add Vanilla Essence but it still tasted delicious. With the chalk we did random things like did numbers take photos of them and while we were doing the Hopscotch game my mum showed me how to do the one she did in the islands ( Samoa ). So she grabbed a rock dropped it on the number one she jumped over it and went to the end of the Hopscotch next then she carried on until she gave up because she hasn't played it for years. So I tired and it was like I was exercising with a jump rope because I did the Hopscotch numbers long...

And that was my favourite part of my isolation. 

Clay Club at the Art Gallery

On Friday the 29th of June in the morning the students in Clay-Club went on a trip to the Auckland Art Gallery and there was 33 people plus Mr Vogt and Whaea Kelly. Leylani and Luisa and I were at the back of the bus and we were waving at the people that was in the car and  people that was in the truck they waved back at us and we couldn’t stop waving at people and when we got to the city it was fun because we saw a lot of people in the city and they keep on looking at  the bus and when we were looking around we saw the Auckland Art Gallery and the bus driver stopped next to the Art Gallery and we grabbed our 3 yellow boxes with our lunchbox and with our water bottles.

Then we went with a person named Jasmine Te Hira inside the Auckland Art Gallery and we had to put the 3 yellow boxes in the cupboard and then we had to warm up and when we got inside the Art Gallery then we went inside and went into our two lines then we went up the stairs and we went to the cardboard houses and we went up the other stairs and when we got up we meet Nigel, Ikoa, Jasmine and we sang a song named Ko Te Whaea and EIhoa and someone said a Mihi and then Rosie said some kind words in Samoan. After that we started with our tour around the Art Gallery we were looking at the clay and this man who lives in Wellington did it 2 months ago and he started making clay at 1988 and after we looked at the clay we went into two lines and I and my friends and some people was in my line and I went with Mr Vogt to look around and some of the others were with Jasmine and we were looking around the Art Gallery and we went to the cardboard houses and we saw some people  that went to collage and we were talking to them and then we had to go because it was Morning tea and after morning tea we went to the special tree and it was slippery and i nearly slipped of the tree but i didn’t and i climbed up at the top and when i got to the top i saw people getting off then i got off the top and i went to the other side of the tree and i was faking that i needed help to get off and i was fake struggling and i got off and me Leylani and Nature were walking together and we were talking and then i ran to the stairs and i went to the side and then Leylani and Nature were following me. when i got to the end of the stairs i got out and then we had to go in two lines and i went to the water fountain and i got wet and my shoes was wet and my socks got wet and then i went in the line and Leylani and Nature kept on swapping lines and i looked and they started laughing then i started laughing.

Mr Vogt asked if anyone needed to go toilet and a lot of people went toilet and i went with Mr Vogt to get our 3 yellow boxes and i got one and i swapped with another girl and her one was heavy and i couldn't carry it and i gave it to someone else and i ran to the bus and i pushed in line and we had to high five Jasmine hand and i went to sit in the front and with Jasmine, Jerry, Luisa, Nature and Leylani and Luisa fell asleep and i was really tired and i couldn't stay awake and i fell asleep when we were singing and when we got to mission bay i woke up and i fell asleep again when we got passed the beach and i got up when we got to school and I got off and we showed Jasmine Makerspace and we gave her clay that we make it was a cup, bowl, and an ice block and we went to interview Jasmine and i got interviewed and i was nervous.

Swimming

On one sunny day Rm11 went to the pools we went to the stage and had to take our uniform off and we to the seat and talked about river safety meanwhile when we had finished we went for a shower after we had a shower we went in a line and went to our swimming instructors and they had to write our names down and write our last names down. After we done that we had to grab a board and listen to what the instructors had to tell us what lesson we are going to do my favourite one that i did was the doggy paddle and the freestyle. Meanwhile when we had grabbed our board we had to do the normal swimming like always and when we all went to the island we had to go again one by one and after we all had got to the beginning we had to do doggy puddle and when i got to the island my legs was tired and i had to go again when we all got there and when i got to the beginning and i so tired and couldn’t handle it was so i was last when we got to do backstroke.
