Reflection of a triathlon

Team Nga rakau did a triathlon on Friday 22 November and I did biking in a team, I did not do a Individual event but heaps of other kids did an individual event. But I am going to try and do a Individual event next in a triathlon. This is my reflection about the Nga rakau triathlon, I Hope You Enjoy It!!! :-)

Reflection on the Nga rakau Triathlon

How did you feel about having to do a triathlon?

I felt nervous when I stood on my bike at the starting line getting ready to ride my bike.   

What events were you in and how far were they?

My activity for the triathlon was biking, I had to do 2 laps around the school field, I was in a team.

Where did you get?

I’m not sure what I came in the triathlon but I wasn’t first and I wasn’t last.

Explain how you felt about doing the triathlon

It was not that hard but my legs were tired when I got of my bike and It felt like I couldn't move, I would like to do it again and try participating in the competitive or noncompetitive individual event.

Homework Break

Dear Mr. G

Personally I think having homework is a horrible idea because kids can be really busy after school and it can confuse kids by what they have to do, Kids do enough learning at school, when kids get home they should get a chance to run around and play outside.

Having homework is bad for kids, because they could be busy after school doing housework, sports, music or walking the dog. Homework can confuse kids by what they should or shouldn't do, and with homework kids will have to stay up all night doing their homework when they really want to go to sleep.

Kids do enough learning at school, and they would like to stop learning at home, they don’t want to do homework for the whole day at school and when they come home. They should at least do homework about 3 hours but not always.

When kids get home they should get a chance to run around and play outside and to be fit. Kids should always have a time to play and do homework not always homework, they will get fed up and they'll get tired while there doing their homework.

Egypt Abstract Art

My Egypt Abstract art

What is abstract all about?

 Abstract art is like symbols that you chose to go on your art that you draw on a piece of paper and then make it as a cool picture. What elements of my art that you notice in my art above?

How I made my abstract art?

For my abstract art I used a pencil, rubber, pastels and dye.

First of all I did patterns with a pencil and rubber. Then after when I finished drawing my patterns I got pastels and colored all of it in. Then I got the dye and started painting it in, then it was done. If you want to learn more or or draw a Egypt abstract art then go to

Rectangular based prison

Rectangular based prison.

My rectangular prison it is a 3rd shape.

On the front of my rectangular prison there is 4 width and 4 length and if we times the width and the length together like 4x4=  the front face will be 16.

On the side there is 6 length and 4 width and if we times that together too, then you will have 4x6=  and the side will be 24 that is correct.

Now on the top it’s the same as the side one. Then you add the answers together  24x16=384

My Earthquake story

Suddenly I felt something shaking I thought it was my cousin bouncing up and down on my bed, when suddenly my brother rushed into my bedroom screaming “stop screaming” I said in a angry voice” mum said “kids get under the table now” “why” but anyway I just did, So my brother and I dived under the table and grappled on tightly. Suddenly the ground started to shake again and I heard    something grumbling “what was that” I realized it was an earthquake. The books and photos tumbled down the book self and three light bulbs crashed down to the floor I knew it was getting bigger and bigger. My dog started barking as loud as a lion he got scared so he stabbed his jaws into his basket pillow. After a few minutes I counted to ten and my brother and I slowly dragged ourselves to the couches as we both were in a shock. We both hoped that it never ever happened again.

Camp Kaitawa Reflection

Camp Kaitawa

In week 7 it was room 20’s turn to go to camp Kaitawa.

Camp kaitawa was amazing. My favorite part was doing the Lou’s lookout in the dark.

My next favorite things at camp were caving and the master chef day.

I think caving was the best because it was my first time ever going under big rocks.

The best part from caving was seeing weta’s and the glow worms.

I liked the master chef day because it was a fun experience working as a team.   

On the way to camp we went to the kiwi enclosure  to see a baby kiwi and learn about them.The funny part was when Naz got pooped by a baby kiwi.

The hardest thing was the big walks because it was about 1 hour and 12 minutes, On the way there I had to carry my day back. On the way back I had to carry a life jacket.

The most challenging thing was the amazing race because there were hard and fun activities to do.

The scariest thing was seeing a weta  because they had long legs like daddy long legs.

If I could improve something about camp it would be having clean shoes.

I learnt that I can cook and I can help my mum cook tea.

I am excited for the year 6 camp.
