Quality Blog posting

In Te Ngahere we have been learning how to write a quality blog post. Our class had to read all the information about the importance of your Title, Introduction, DLO, Reflection, Sources & Questions. The most important thing in a post is your Title because it tells the audience what your post is about, after we had read all about those things we had to write them down what they all meant & had to write them in our own words after that we made a DLO. I was learning how to write a Quality Blog post, I enjoyed writing all of it down. Did this teach you something with your blogging?

Hummus with Whaea Gina

In Te Ngahere we had Whaea Gina, and this time we made some yummy and healthy hummus. My classmate Kayden was making the hummus while Gina was teaching us how to make it and I also was taking the photos. I learnt that you needed chickpeas, peanut butter and paprika or cayenne pepper to make hummus. I also learnt that it can either be spicy or mild, Kayden made ours Spicy and the other half of the class made theirs too Peanut buttery and runny. I was learning to make hummus, I enjoyed eating the Hummus and taking photos.

Oral Hygiene

On Wednesday the 18th Te Ngahere had two Visitors and their names were Ulrike and Chantelle. They taught us about Oral hygiene, Oral hygiene means when you have a clean mouth. I learnt that you have to brush your teeth in a circular motion. I also learnt that you have to brush your teeth at night because during the day you make saliva, and at night you don’t make much saliva so you have to brush your teeth. For example, when you look at something really yummy you make saliva in your mouth. I also learnt that if you don’t brush your teeth you will get Gingivitis which is when you get plaque near your gum and it infects your gums in your mouth. She also let two people put this stuff on their teeth which sticks to plaque and changes colors on your teeth, Dark Blue is 3-4 days old plaque, Light blue is 2 days old plaque and Purple will be 1 day old plaque. After they left we made a DLO about it. I will finish DLO soon.

Cross Country

Last week on Friday the 30th of August Paihia School, had Cross Country at the Bledisloe Domain. Cross Country is our School’s participation Day, we all run in different age groups because if the School ran all together it wouldn’t be fair on the younger children, so we do age groups the 5 yr old Boys, then Girls.  6 yr old Boys, then Girls. and so on. My age group was the 10 yr old Girls, our run was running on the Field through the gates up the Hill go along the Hill, and then go back down the Hill back through the gates and then on the Field to the FINISH LINE. My place I came was last I didn’t really care though because it’s all about participation and having fun. What I was learning was it’s not about winning it’s about having fun and giving it a go, What I enjoyed was giving it a go, What I could do better next time is to run faster.

Energize with Gina

This week in Te Ngahere we have been doing energize with Gina again, but this time Gina taught us about what drinks are healthy and unhealthy. She brought cards to organize the drinks into. The group of cards were (Everyday Drinks) is a healthy type of drink like water is naturally healthy (Sometimes Drinks) is like you can drink Powerade sometimes because it has not much sugar and it’s has got some goodness for your body  (Hardly ever Drinks) she told us hardly ever drinks are like the Mother drinks they have caffeine in them so it’s not that good to have them all the time that’s why we put the Mother drink in the hardly ever drinks group. I was sort of confused at parts because the drinks she put in the sometimes group, I personally thought that they were in the hardly ever group or the everyday groups. The best part about energize was that we got the prize for winning the quiz. The last time she was with us we won, so this time she gave us our prizes which just were getting a chocolate or strawberry milkshake in cartons for the winners. What I learnt was to know what type of drinks were healthy or not, What I enjoyed was winning a prize, What I found hard was not understanding what she meant, What I could do better next time is to not get too confused.
