In Te Maunga we have being making all types of art and crafts. On friday 9th of November we had flower day and pet day and on the 8th of November we made A&P posters. When we made our A&P poster we had to make sure the the words were spelt right. Some people would maybe get a prize for there A&P posters they would get a small amount of money. I did not win any awards but my friends Jade and Makaila did. I enjoyed making my poster because I liked adding photos and getting help from others. I didn’t like going back again and again but it makes the writing better.I liked doing the A&P poster because it was very fun and we got to control our learning. The art that was high effort got to go to the A&P show.

In Te Maunga we went to a swim safety lesson. The 3 things that I learnt about being safe is that you can float on your back and it can keep you safe. If you can float on your back, you can go back to shore but if you panic you can drown. Then I learnt to go with the rip because if you try to fight it you can sink to the bottom of the sea. I also learnt that we have to remember to stay calm and think before you jump in to save anyone because you can take your own life with them. You can check the weather.

This term at Paihia School we got to do cricket. I learnt to bat a ball, catch a ball and field in cricket. We played speed cricket it is when you have to run to the end of the pole and back to the line. I enjoyed playing speed cricket because you get to bat the ball and have fun with you class. I also liked catching the ball and competing against me friends.I found it tricky batting the ball and putting my right foot out. I love doing cricket because it is so so fun.
