Swimming Lessons@pes

 Swimming Lessons Term 4!

This morning Team 5 have been discussing about the up-coming swimming lessons that we will be having. Each class will get 4 weeks of swimming lessons which will start on every Wednesdays. Our first lesson is tomorrow, I'm really excited to begin swimming again. The teachers will be holding a competition for all of the classes in Team 5, they are planning that the class with the most swimmers attending to the classes will get a whole afternoon off. Let's go Room 3!!! It's really important to learn the safety rules about swimming and actually learning to swim. Here are 3 reasons why learning to swim is very important.
  1. It maintains your heart rate and takes away stress from your body
  2. It helps you to become more familiar with swimming
  3. You get to swim with people so that you aren't missing out

Taha Wairua Poster!!!

Taha Wairua

Greetings to all and welcome back to my blog. Today we did another Whare Tapa Wha activity, we chose to do Taha Wairua (Spiritual Health). For our task today we had to create another poster but this time we had to show three things that can help us with our Taha Wairua. The things I listed were: 

  1. Listening to happy and calming songs
  2. Doing Meditation
  3. Praying
There are much more things that I can think of as well. You can also read the bible and give a gift to someone. Doing things like this will help strengthen your Wairua in no time you don't want to end up as a sad or useless person sitting at home as your Taha Wairua slowly breaks down. I encourage everyone to do these listed things so that their Taha Wairua stays alright.

Taha Tinana- Exercise poster

Taha Tinana

Today for our Te Whare Tapa Wha work we mainly focused on Taha Tinana which is about looking after our Physical Health. For our activity we had to create an exercise poster. To make it we had to take photos with buddies or by yourself doing 4 different exercises. I did this activity with my friends Mele and Central, the exercises we did were:
  1. Running on the spot
  2. Squats
  3. Star Jumps
  4. Arm Warm Ups
There are different types of levels that you can do for your comfort zone:
  1. Easy
  2. Hard
  3. Extreme
Hopefully everyone can do this to help strengthen their Taha Tinana, doing fitness work really helps your body to stay fit and healthy. I encourage everyone to do exercises in their free time to live a happy life staying fit and healthy

Taha Hinengaro: Things I'm good at!

Taha Hinengaro: Things I'm good at!

Task description: Malo e lelei and welcome back to my blog, today we did another Te Whare Tapa Wha activity. This time we looked back on Taha Hinengaro which is all about our own mind, heart, conscience, thoughts and feelings. It is also about how we feel individually as well as how you communicate and think. For our activity today, first we had to take a photo of ourselves and place in onto a google drawing. After that we had to come up with things that we are good at and place it around the photo of yourself. This helped us by feeling and thinking much better, this can also help us by gaining more confidence. ENJOY

Yr 7 Step Up Programme 2020

 Yr 7 Step Up Programme

Last week while the Yr 8's went to Kauaeranga Valley Camp the Yr 7's held a step up programme at school. This programme was to help the Yr 7's to step up and be leaders like our Yr 8's. We had heaps of fun doing this amazing programme, here is what we did on the 1st day....

Once the Yr 8's left, we had to meet in the streets for the teachers to tell us what we are doing and our time schedules. After that we got splitted into three groups 1- Mrs Moala, 2- Mrs Illaoa, 3- Ms Tipene, I was in Mrs Moala's Class. Once we sorted our groups we had to come up with a team name, posters, chants and a girl and boy team captain. Our team name was Thunder and our team captains were Nina and Mohammed. Once we came up with our chants we had to present it to the other teams which were Duck Life and Strikers.

After presenting our chants to everyone we had to go back into our classes and start eating our morning tea. After morning tea play time we came back into the street and started our rotations with our teachers. After doing that it was time to eat our Lunch, after play time we had to come back into the street and start our sports rotation. Each class had to split into A's and B's groups. I was in 1B and we played 3A in bull rush and that was our 1st day of the step up programme
