Pump Track

Last week we had to write about another special place, this topic was the Paihia Pump Track. We had to have three reasons or more on why the Pump Track was special and elaborate and give detail on those three ideas. I really liked this topic because I like riding my bike on the Pump Track. I struggled with elberating on my ideas because I didn't know how to explain it. I hope other people enjoy the Pump Track as much as I do. Have you ever been to the Paihia Pump Track?

Duffy Show

On Friday the Duffy show came to Paihia School. They performed a play for us. It was about these two cousins Sam and Duffy (real name Dylan and Emma-Rose) gaming. They gamed and gamed until Duffy thought he would put his deceased Nana’s glasses on and dance the dance she had made up. After that he was sucked into the tv and was stuck in a game called Magic Bricks. The only location they named was The Hall Of Mirrors. It was pretty much just him looking at himself. There were also two characters but one person playing as both their names were Puzzler and the Dismantler. They pretty much balanced the game. The aim of the game was to build and use up all the bricks, the Dismantler broke down any builds he made. Also in the game, the Puzzler broke up any words you put together. The Duffy show wasn't really aimed for the yr 7&8s but the rest of Paihia School liked it. Has the Duffy show preformed at your school?     

Training

At Paihia School we have been practicing for athletics. How it works is every Thursday and Friday we do one thing then the next day we change. I am looking forward to athletics because i'll see all my old friends and try my best in every activity. My favorite activity is probably Discus because I consider myself good at it. My least favorite is long jump because I suck at it. Do you enjoy athletics? 

Ngatokimatawhaorua

 In Te Ngahere we have written about the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. We were assigned to write about a special place in our community (the treaty grounds). We didn't just have to write about the Treaty Grounds but something special to us that is in the Treaty Grounds. I wrote about the Waka Ngatokimatawhaorua. I wrote about it because it is special, and unique. I liked this activity because the Waka means a lot to me, my whanau, and my community. Have you been to see Ngatokimatawhaorua?
