Our Living Museum

We have been preparing for a living museum for the end of term. 

Cate helped get us motivated for it and showed us some drama tips. 

We all had to dress up as famous New Zealanders. 

We all got marked on how well we knew our person and how well we could act as them.

Library Quiz and Regional Cross Country

Last week (Week 9) was the Year 5 & 6 Library Book Quiz at Parklands School. Riley, Ada, Louie and Nikau went to represent us with their library knowledge. Their hard work paid off as they came second out of 12 teams!
The four of them had to study lots in and out of school, often missing news presentation, math certificate and other things to practice in the library. Some of the things they had to do included reading set books and writing notes about them, ( the books were Dragon Defenders and A.N.Z.A.C Animals)and thinking up costumes to wear, (the costume that they wore was a taniwha).
Also last week was the Regional Cross-Country. On Friday 29, five runners, ( Riley, Ada, Tawn, Sayla and Ruby M) went to Rabbit Island to compete against hundreds of other runners. First was Ruby and Sayla's race; they were up against
around 80 other kids, so it was pretty cool that Ruby got eighth and Sayla got 24th!
For a while the y5 boys were racing and after that it was Riley, Ada and Tawn's race.
They had a good start but got tired early and in the end Ada came 11th, Tawn came 13th and Riley came 35th. But, as a team they won Best Small School! So altogether one runner in the Inter-Regionals and one trophy! Good result.

Indigo Rooms Flax Challenge

The Indigo has been set  a flax challenge from Mrs Turner.  We have to make natural chairs that hang off trees.We were put into colour groups. The colours were red, yellow and green. First we had to make lots of rope out of flax so we can hang the chairs up. We are allowed to bring in things like bamboo from home. We need to hang the chair in a place where you can see the sky for Matariki.

Gymnastic's Festival

On Tuesday the 19th of June, there is going to be a Gymnastic's Festival for years 4, 5 and 6 students of all of the Motueka region. In the competition you have to do skipping, beam, boys strength routine, beat box/cross vault, pyramid, group floor routine and individule floor routine.

the boys do the strength routine and every other routine apart from beam and the girls do beam and every other routine apart from the strength routine. You do every routine one at a time, and you stay with your group. There are huge mats there, well they aren't exactly mats, they are kind of like spongy mats with carpety stuff on top.

In our class we have 6 groups, named in the Maori way, so it is like, Tahi, Rua, Toru, Wha, Rima, Ono. In each group we have a group leader to lead the group.
