WATER FUN Day 2020

Water Fun Day Recount

Glenbrae had Water Fun Day on Wednesday 12 February.

Water Fun Day is not just all about fun, it is also a competition

between four houses, the four houses are Nikau, Kauri, Rata

and Kowhai. Those houses have to fill up their buckets until

they are full and the most buckets are filled with water are the winners. 

The day started with our chant. Rata went first with their chant,

next was Kowhai, then Nikau and lastly Kauri. I was in Nikau.

We had six entertaining stations. Water bomb, Water slide,

Spongebob, Pool fun, Lava flow and Holey Moly. 

Room 7 first went to the pools for Pool fun. There we saw

Mrs Kelly and Miss Sangita. We all walked to the pool jumped into the pool.

We splashed, swam and lastly had fun. We

had toys to play with in the pool. Everybody swam and swam till we

got tired, but we can’t get tired yet because we had

to go to our next station.

Our next fun game was Water Bomb with Miss Smith and Miss Smith.

The aim of the game is to have a lot of water balloons inside your

teams bucket. The four teams went to line up to their cones.

One of your member

in your team have to pass the water balloons to you after you

passed back the

balloon go back to the back of the line, once your bucket had been filled and

your teams bucket had a lot of water balloons, you can pour that water into

the the large

bucket at the centre of the court. Afterwards we have to rotate to the next

station and that was the Lava flow with Miss Kyee.

Miss Kyee showed us how to play Lava Flow. The instructions were jump

inside the hula hoops the run to the court and fill our bucket. My team and

I were focused, as soon as the bell rang I filled the cup with water then I

dashed along the course while I was running I was beaming at the Nikau’s

bucket. It was splendid game. 

Afterwards, the next game was Holey Moly with Mr Nath.

The cups had holes so you had to block the water from draining out the holes.

I beamed to the buckets at the centre and I see that Nikau’s bucket is at the

second bucket, excitement gave me hope that Nikau will finally win. 

The bell rang and that means that its time for rotation. Room 7 next game is

Water Slide we had to line up and stroll up to the hill and grab a cup, fill it

with water and slide down to the court and put the water to their house bucket.

Everybody slip and slide down the hill.

Spongebob was our last game for Water Fun Day 2020.

This was my favourite game. The front person had to dip

the sponge and pass it back up and down when the last

person had the sponge, he or she have to run to their buckets

and give it a good squeeze. 

Now the rotations are done and we had to sit back on the courts

and wait for Mrs Tofa to announce the winner for Water Fun Day 2020.

She started with the last place, it was so tense,

Kowhai for last place, third place is for Kauri, second place is Rata

and first place is NIKAU. Shouting with laughter. But we were humble winners.

Fun lesson with Kiwican

Our theme for Kiwican is Positve Relationship and the topic is Fair Play

We started our lesson with an energiser. Our energiser was 21, it was boys vs girls a strategy game 

21 Rules:

You need say the number out loud

You can't help  

You can only say two numbers

Afterwards we played a game called Human Bowling, it sounded interesting.

We walked outside and made two teams, boys vs girls again. The boys started with the ball, then one of them have to hit us, it was like Bowling but instead its humans. 

Human Bowling Rules:

You can't flinch nor move when the ball is near you 

You need to be honest

Our last game was a competition between the boys and girl, the is called End of the Road.
The girls beats the boys for today's Kiwican lesson

Reflection Kiwican

Tuesday afternoon we had Kiwi can. Room 7 walked in silence to the Kiwican room there we saw Miss Grace and Mr Simanu. We sat in a circle next we started our energiser and our energiser was the Ice breaker. Miss Grace gave us cones. She told us to take one cone and pass it on, so we passed the cones around and put down the cone in front of us. Then the person with no cone has to stand in the middle and say something about his/her holiday. So one of my classmates had no cone so she had to say something about her holiday, if we can relate to that then we have to move to another cone but you can’t swap with the person next to you.

After we played the Ice breaker we turned around to the whiteboard, on the whiteboard we saw three words, it was Learn, Encourage and Share.

We had to think of one rule and decide where it goes, Miss Grace asked us if that rule goes to Learn, Encourage, Share then whoever got it right they get a point. My classmates were really happy they got one point.

Later that we played Defender. The rule of the game was to roll the ball through another persons legs, so we had to spread our legs apart and we had to only use one hand to push the ball away from getting in between your legs. We had so much fun playing Defender. 

What I learnt in Kiwi can is if there were no rules it would not be fair. I also learnt that you always need to have fun and not be a sore loser.

Maths Geometry

Carrie has glued some cubes
together to make a large solid cube with nine small cubes

Roast chicken

Kalo and I cooked roast chicken by ourself among the following instructions. 

Mrs Heka has instructed us to complete each job in pairs.

Person 1:

• Get the vegetable on the counter - Tomato, potato, garlic, onions and carrots
• Get the oil 1 tablespoon
• Get the pepper and salt

Person 2:

• Take the mixed herbs - two teaspoon
• Take the raw chicken - four chicken legs
• Bring the sweet and chilli sauce - 2 tablespoon

Kalo sliced and diced the vegetables while I cleaned the chicken. 

After that I combined the salt and pepper, sweet and chilli sauce 

 Kalo grabbed a tray and there I laid the chickens. I gave the tray 

with the marinated chickens to Mrs Heka's table. 

We now have to wait for a couple of minutes for the chicken to roast a bit. 

After a while I picked up our roast chicken from Mrs Heka's pantry, 

I placed the tray with chicken down on our cooking area and added the vegetables.

We gave the trays back to Mrs Heka and she put in the oven, 

we waited in the common room for our roast chicken to cook.

IT'S DONE!!!! everyone walked to there cooking station,

 Mrs Heka gave us our roast chickens, we shared the chickens and placed it in our plate. We had a lovely time eating our delicious chicken.

Copycats maths

Today Lesieli and I learnt about copycats with the help of Villiami Thttps://gbsviliamit.blogspot.com/

Captain Blackhearts Treasure map

Today I learnt how to solve this maths problem and the answer is (3,3) Read the question
Captain Blackheart buries his treasure but loses his 
treasure map! But all is not lost. 
His trusty crew remember different bits of the map.

"I remember drawing it with 5 squares each way,'' says the Captain. 

"There was a row of three trees running due East from the square (1,1)",

Peg Leg Pete says. "You put each one of them on a different square."

"Weren’t there four granite boulders going due South from (5,5)?" John asks.

"I think you put one of them each in a square too."

"Ah!. Now I remember!" yells the Captain.

"I buried the treasure halfway between the first rock and the most western tree!"

Where is the treasure? (3,3)
