2016 Review

Since it is our last year for the year 8's we made a review to show case what we have been doing for the past few terms in 2016. As a class we had a very fun time collaborating a playing our activities as a class. This year we made new friends and met new people around the manaikalani schools. Having to leave this school made us very sad but having memories with us made us happy and joyful. We are going to see what is coming next for us in 2017.

Tahuna Torea

Yesterday at lunchtime we went to have lunch at Tahuna Torea. Once we got there we had lunch, everyone was having fun. Why we went to Tahuna Torea? because its linked to our topic for reading we are learning about Godwits. First we explored was the beach where the Godwits come after that we waited until it was our turned to explored the wet lands where the Godwits find there food. LS2 learnt a lot and where Godwit's migrate. Godwits migrate from New Zealand to Alaska that would take them 8 days to get there but they would need to go to Australia than Japan then Alaska. So they are really fast to fly to Alaska. It was really interesting learning about the Godwit and where they Migrate.

After that, they gave us an activity where, they call out a traffic light which was Green - for dribbling, Orange - stop but just keep on dribbling, Red - stop, Purple - Reverse, Silver - Speeding your dribbling, Blue -  Dribbling in circles. After that, we were split into 2 teams and whoever calls a number, a number of people has to play hockey against the other team.
