Year 6 Camp !

On March the 15th the year sixis of Wainui Beach School left for Camp Kaitawa. We stayed there for a week and it was so much fun. Once we came back we all created slides about camp and this is mine .... 

Speeches and Interschool Athletics

Yes, I know I have already done a blog post on speeches but this is about speech finals. So yes I did get into speech finals and I was super nervous because the judge was Bevan Chapman who works on the radio. Spoiler alert : I won the year 5 category ! :-). I was really surprised because I  thought that Rio would win, she did a speech on Jacinda Ardern. Jacinda  Ardern is New Zealand's Prime Minister. As you know I did my speech about Kate Sheppard, (I am assuming that you have already read my blog post about speeches, BUT if you haven't I would recommend reading my blog post about speeches so you know what I am talking about) 

So interschool athletics. Have any of you been to interschool athletics ?  Well I went to interschool athletics in week 4 and didn't get into any finals but came 3rd in the 100 and 200 meter sprints, Wainui also came 2nd or 3rd in the girls relay. ( Wainui is the school I go to it's full name is Wainui beach school ). Interschool Athletics is when the top people from your school compete against all the schools in your area. I think that as a whole the school did quite well because everyone did well, had fun and were good sports.  

Incredible start to the year !!!

The first week has gone in a flash as Buzz groups were formed and swimming started, everything went by in a flash . Quick writes were introduced and the first was Chocolate vs Cheese for me it was a tie and for many it was Chocolate.

 One of the first games played was Tension , where you had 1 minute to write as many words as possible in a subject 'green veges ' if the words are on the list you get 1 point. We also did some games with balloons and cups , when we were playing with the cups we were only allowed to touch the cups with a rubber band !! but Koka Terri and Ngiare had attached strings to the sides so each person in your Buzz groups could hold a string and manipulate the rubber band to open and close . Thanks for  reading my 1st blog post of the year ! :) 

Yours sincerely, Klara
