Ag day

on wednesday the 16 of october the PTA had put up a agricultural day for the students of te pahu school to show off the animal that they have trained over the holidays at the event. it was a time for the students to show off their animal and what it did best in. the three events were call and follow, leading and rearing. the catergorys of animals were lambs goats and calfs. there were some people who didn't do an animal instead they did a home challenge/alternative challenge. this included a bird house, portable garden, 3D canvas, stump design and sandpit design. on the day if people weren't doing a animal they would be doing clay modelling, photography, cupcake decorating and t-shirt design.

speeches

We have recently done our speeches. For me it was my bestest speech that I have ever done but probably because I had personal experience with it. my speech was on bullying and in our school it's a problem that hasn't been solved. The topic was on what we had learnt at school and bullying related to our sesions on kia kaha. Doing this meant that I had more confidence in doing my speech and saythat bullying is not ok.

Snow trip

On the 6th of September 7 arrived at whakapapa to go for our ski trip. for most of us it was our first time snowboarding/skiing so we got lessons on how to board or ski and it helped a lot. Having going there for my first time was amazing, I was snow boarding and its a bit easier than it looks. Bestest life experience that I have ever had.

Enterprise

We have just had our market day and it was successful for most of the stalls and me and my friend's stall was a success. We were two items away from selling out and I thought we were only going to sell five which i am glad we didn't. Awesome day for everyone I think everyone wants to do it again.
 

kaliedoscope art

In room7 we have been doing kaliedoscope art using one picture rotating it so it will be the same except upside down so it looks like a mirror image, like the photos above.These pictures were hard because it was a matter seperating the flipped photos and the normal photos.

PROJECT ENERGISE

 

In room 7 we went to Paterangi school for a leadership excercise put up by team energise. This included working together as a team, listening to each others ideas and letting someone else take charge. These team challenges were hard and easy butyou couldn't win without working together.

Dry ice

In room 7 we have played with dry ice and had a look at how it reacts with metal and put in objects like hand gloves. Dry ice is at the temperature -37 degrees so when you touch for more than two seconds it will give you cold burn (trust me i know) . When dry ice is put together with metal it makes sound lke fingernails on a black board.
