Math

 For math we did a hundred question 10 minute times tables quiz. 

I scored 100/100 in 4:04 Minutes.

Next time I want to get under 3 minutes with 100 percent.

Next time I am doing division.

Swimming - Fitness

 For swimming we have been doing three strokes, Breaststroke, Backstroke and Freestyle. My favourite stroke is breaststroke, because you can breathe easier. My least favourite is backstroke because you cant see where your going and because I go slow and people pass me. 

My Goals:

My goals for swimming is that for freestyle I need to improve by learning more tactics for going faster and breathing easier. For backstroke I need to be able to go faster and kick harder. For breaststroke I need to do harder kicks.

My Kitten

On Saturday, 20th of February 2021 we picked up our new kitten, that doesn't have a name yet from North New Brighton, he is extremely cute and mischievous, we are thinking of names like Loki or quicksilver, but  not everyone can agree. So far Loki is looking like his name but there is only 5/6 votes so we have to persuade Josh, and then we have Loki. But anyway "Loki" is gray and white and he loves climbing, eating, playing and more climbing.

Can You Solve This?

 

I will solve this "hard" math in three simple steps.

- 9-3=6

- A third of 6 is 2, so divide 6 by 2 and it = 3

- 3 + 1 = 4. Done.

                                  Fitness.

Last year I was really bad at fitness so this year I am going to push myself until I can jog around the without stopping. Last year I could not run a whole lap around the bike track but now I run a whole lap so I am improving.  I don't like running with people beside me.

                      Fitness - Tyre's.

For fitness we did a run with a tyre what we did was run to the far cone and dropped the tyre beside the cone and put your left foot in the tyre, take your left foot out, put your right foot in, take your right foot out, put both feet in the tyre, pull the tyre up run to the first cone, take your left foot out, take your right foot out, take the tyre to the next person in line.

Dancing - fitness.

 Dancing - fitness.

Last year I would not have imagined that I would enjoy dancing with my friends.

I like line dancing because I like math, and math is patterns and for line dancing it is a pattern on repeat.

The other reason I like dancing is because it is fun and my friends like doing it as well.

The dances we have learnt are the cupid shuffle,  which is four sidesteps right, four sidesteps left, kick four times, twist repeat. We have also learnt the bunny hop, which is Heel toe, heel toe, heel toe, heel toe, forward one, back one, forward three repeat. Also we have done Saturday Night Fever, which is, four steps back, clap, four steps forward, clap, grapevine to the right with a turn, grapevine to the left with a turn, kick, ball, change, kick, ball, change, skate, skate, skate, seat-belt four times, roll arms two times, chicken, chicken, heel, heel, turn, repeat.

                                 Technology 

For tech I am doing fabrics with Ms Pretty and wood work with Mr Pledge. 

For Fabric I am doing a bag with a turtle eating a straw. Saying save the turtles on the back.

For wood work I made a circle with the words saffron boiz inside. My favourite subject was wood work because the teacher, Mr pledge is nice.

Karamea.

 Karamea (above westport below the Heaphy Track.)

 The drive to karamea is always excruciatingly long, and there are always hills and turns. But the worst bit about the drive is the karamea bluffs, it is the most windy road, and it is a hill. Sometimes after heavy rain the road is closed so there is no way in or out of karamea. But karamea itself is fun and enjoyable. There are lots of things to do in karamea for example kayaking, hiking, biking, swimming(in safe areas.) cave tours, the museum, take a trip to oparara basin, fishing, birdwatching, rafting,  Scott's beach, surfing, trails and hunting. So the drive makes up in activities. Maybe give karamea a go next school holidays.
