Fitness with Alesio

On Monday we met two of the Personal Trainers from GI Snap Fitness. They came in to meet with us and to let us know that they'll be coming back on Thursday to do some fun activities around being healthy and staying fit.

Today, Alesio came in and we were ready to get a good work out! We were so happy that the weather was sunny because we had our session outside.

We did lots of running, pushups, jumping, burpees and start jumps.

By the end of the session we were so tired but we were so glad we did it because we had lots of fun!

Thank you Alesio and Snap Fitness Glen Innes for coming into our class and working with us. We hope to see you again!

Louis Sachar

In Room 9, the Tiki Reading Group is starting a Novel Study. First, they started with a bit of research about the author Louis Sachar. This writer is well known for the story Holes, 'There's are boy in the girls bathroom' and 'Fuzzy Mud'.

The Tiki Reading Group is looking forward to reading 'Holes' by Louis Sachar. 

Catherine made a poster including some facts about him. 

Be on the lookout for more learning from the Tiki Reading group.

Film Angles

In Room 9, we are starting to make films all about our learning. We are a Manaiakalani School and the film festival is coming up. So when all the films are done teachers pick which film should get selected.And when they get selected all the manaikalani schools go to the Sylvia Park theater and watch other manaikalani school films.

We have been learning about camera angles, what they are, what they capture and why they're used.

Catherine made a slide of film angles and some photos and we hope you learn something from it when you shoot some videos.

We went to the farm

On Thursday, Room 9 went to Ambury Farm.

The first thing we got to see was the cows getting milked. This was great because we've been doing lots of learning about how milk is made. We answered all the questions the farmers asked confidently and even got to pat the cow. When the milk travelled through the tube it was really warm. That was a nice surprise.

Next we went to the shearing shed and saw the sheep being crutched. Crutching is when their bums get shaved. It gets rid of all the poo wool around their bum so that they don't get sick.

We then got to go out and see the rest of the farm. We feed some of the animals. The hardest part was when it started to RAIN!! It was cold and windy and we were freezing!

But we still had lots of fun!
