Matariki

Last week, we were studying about Matariki. It is celebrated during the winter solstice. It means 'eyes of god' or 'little eyes'. The Maori New Year starts when the new moon rises. The Matariki stars are bigger and brighter than the other stars. It is a great time to harvest crop and collect seafood. Some people celebrate Matariki by spending time with family.

Practicing Our Skipping

For the last few weeks, Room 12 have been practicing their skipping. Once everyone grabbed their ropes we did ten skips forwards, backwards then side to side for warm ups. When we had finished our warm ups, we went into our groups.

 The members in my group are Timote, Pate, Lupe, Dakbai and Saluselo. For our skipping routine we are practicing to do push ups. When the skipping session is almost finished, we do a skip off to see who will skip the longest.

Daily Fitness 😥😥

Every morning after the bell rings, all the seniors have to line up for our daily fitness. Our fitness is running around the block for 10 minutes.I usually run with Azahar and Jack Daniel. We always stay on the left side so we don't slowdown the other runners.
  

National Milk Day

Today New Zealand is celebrating National Milk Day. This morning when we were drinking our milk, Mrs Golder said that it was National Milk Day. While everyone was drinking their milk, Meana took photos of the Room 11 and 12 students. National Milk Day has been celebrated every year on the 1st of June since 2001. On that day, we celebrate all aspects of milk.
