In Te Maunga everyone stayed at home because of the lock down. At home I played games online with Henry Loosely and we were not at each other's house so we called on Chromebooks and did some workouts. I ran around the house 20 times and helped with the garden and my mum's cabin that she does lashes in. I had the best time ever out of the lock down when I played lots of games . I spent the most time on this one game that I played. It was my birthday and Henry was the only friend who sent me a present. I learnt you can’t always play games in lock down at my house
Kia ora! I am a year 4-5 student in Te Maunga at Paihia School, New Zealand. My teachers are Mrs Pou and Mr Ngata.

Nano Girl Cool!!!
In Te Maunga we had a science person come in. She was called Nano Girl. She talked about how smoke is visible but air isn't. She said do not do this at home!. She got water, then gas in the water, then grabbed the bubbles and she got the lighter and put it on fire. She got a hair dryer and ping pong ball and made it float. She was talking about the fire god Mahuika. She wanted to be just like her. She said she held fire on her fingertips. One thing I learnt was that you should check the danger before doing it to keep safe.

the seven stars
In Te Maunga we have done Matariki activities. I learnt that you can’t use a diamond shaped kite to make it fly. It just went up when I threw it then it came down and hit me. One thing I liked was the poi. Some of them had different colours compared to the others. Someone stole mine so I couldn’t make mine but I was okay with it. I learnt there is more than one way to make a kite.

look at my mesurement
In Te Maunga we have been doing measurements so we can learn about weights, how to measure with hands, feet and books. I learnt how to weigh in grams. Now I learnt how many grams a pen is, six grams isn't that much and a counter was one gram. My favourite was weighing because after we weigh the book we could weigh anything. That was the fun part then we started learning about the pen and the paper and the other stuff I was talking about. I think I could work harder in math. I think I should have known about the paper. It is so light that you can carry it with your thumb.
my astronomy
In Te Maunga we did astronomy, which is about the sun, stars and moon basically the galaxy. We had to do a poster and an explanation. We learnt what the sun and stars are made of. They are made out of hot white gas. One thing I learnt was that how many people have gone on the moon there are actually 12 people that have gone on it. My favourite was when we did the poster it looked cool with a fish talking. I think I need to get better at finding information from the text.

This Is My Cool Reading
In Te Maunga we have been doing something called hauora. It is about how your muscles get stronger. First we had to read the story and complete the slide. We had to make a poster. One thing I liked learning about this was that I like typing so that is what was fun about it.

Look at my fun activities
In Te Maunga we have done some sea activities. We got to pick one activity at a time so it is fair we had three activities. The last one I did was the seahorse. We had shaving cream then we put some paint to make it look cool and not just all white and we put some card to make it a little thicker so it won’t get stuck in the cream. The first activity was a blue whale. We got some chalk because we did it on the court. My favourite one was the seahorse. I had one cool eye but we had to take it off so we could put some googly eyes on them. It's fun when you do all your work. You do the mahi get the treats.
