Scientist

 On a Monday morning after brain break, we went on a zoom call with 3 scientist their names were Wolfgang Rack, Shanelle and Sandy.  They are studying Antarctica. Wolfgang is a glaciologist, he drills holes in glaciers. Sandy was studying the seals. Shanelle tells stories about Antarctic history.

We got to ask them questions of our own and some of the questions were; what's the biggest glacier you've seen?  how do you count the seals? what's your favorite story? how bigs the drill? how much stories do you know? and more. We had to hop off the zoom call because another class joined.

week 7 slides

3 weeks ago, The Wainui Beach School years sixes went to Camp Kaitawa. It was really fun, we did lots of walks and kayaking. I had the worst sleep waking up at 6.00 every night.  Here is a link to my week 7 slides. The food was really good.  There was a concert and I did jokes here's one why did the possum cross the road he went to see his flat mate.    

Cooks cove walk!

I took the the first step up cooks cove walk, as soon as I took the first  step I knew this was going to take a long time.  We starting walking up we got up to the beacon of light that's where we had a water break after the water break we kept on moving.

30 minutes past until we stopped to look at the amazing view I also had some water and the we were going down on the other side of the hill.  Once we got to the bottom of the hill we headed to a forest we were walking in the forest for about 15 minutes and then we came across a baby owl in the trees we all stopped to look at the owl and then kept on moving.

We got out of the forest and there was a wharepaku about ten of us went toilet once everyone got back in there groups we kept on moving we got to the end of the walk and had a snack and then walked back it took us 2 to 3 hours to finish the walk and my legs nearly melted of my bones

At the end I felt good and exhausted once I finished school I went home and had a nap.         

 

Back to school

4 weeks ago I came back to school for the first time since the holidays had started last year. On the second week we walked all the way to Hamanatua stream, the sun was blazing down upon us. On the next day we walked up to Mangaroa, it was really steep, and the rocks made it easy to slip. The fields stank with cow poo, luckily it didn't put me off my exquisite lunch . 

 

On the 3rd week, on the Friday we were sorted with parent transport to go to the beach. Hamish, Max's dad was the parent that would push me, Tre, Millie and Cory into waves he pushed me on a good as wave I stood up started turning and riding on the wave then it just smashed me off my board.  

 

          It was week 3 and we were going to Te Poho -O- Rawiri marae and we learnt a song called Mama panda, its about the elders making bread for the younger.  And then I realized we were going places of our pepeha.
