Waikowhai Primary School Athletics Day 2018

Hello blogging world. On the 2nd of November Waikowhai Primary School (the school I go to) had our school Athletics Day for 2018, Athletics Day is a day where you don't have to do any learning. Instead you have to go to your age group and you have to participate in a variety of activities like high jump, long jump, sprints, tennis and a lot more, and in the end the fastest runners in the house groups there will do a relay race. At the start of the day we all got into our age groups, there was the 5 year old boys, 5 year old girls, 6 year old boys, 6 year old girls, 7 year old boys, 7 year old girls, 8 year old boys, 8 year old girls, 9 year old boys, 9 year old girls, 10/11 year old boys and the 10/11 year old girls. I am 10 years old, so I got to the 10/11 year old boys groups, then we got into our first station which is the 400 meter run, a station is like 1 activity. After we did all the activities, all the groups came together for the house relays, the house groups are Kea, Ruru, Pukeko and Tui, and I was in Kea. For the final relay it was the 10/11 year old boys. I got picked to run for my house group with 5 more 10/11 year old boys in Kea, and in the next class assembly, it is announced that Pukeko won the relays.

Summer Learning Journey Archive Activity: Germany

Hello bloggers. This week we did the Summer Learning Journey, the Summer Learning Journey is like a site where you have to do activities and post them on your blog over the summer holidays. If you get the top 3 blogs and comments in your school you will get a prize pack, and the person with the most blogs and comments in the Ako Hiko cluster will get their own drone and last year the prize was a tablet. For the first activity we have to choose a country and we get to blog about it and say why we chose this country, I chose Germany because that's where most Footballers come from and they won the 2014 world cup in Brazil, and it looks perfect for tourists to go to. When we get to the Summer Learning Journey site, we have to go to the Archived content and choose Summer 2016 - 2017 and it will send you to a document where it will show you a list of countries linked to another document showing facts about the country. The facts will be like what the climate is, what the population is and where the location is, if you have trouble finding the site here's the link.
