Fitness

This morning Room 10 and some of Room 8 went outside to do military style fitness.

The first session we had to do was a warm up, we had to stretch our arms, legs and our body before finally had our competition. We had 3 groups, Room 10 boys and girls challenged each other.

We had to go around the court and jogged as a bunched group and chanting our song we had to choose.

Charlie and friends

We have been reading and writing about Charlie. He is a Lowchen dog and he comes from Germany and France. We have been working on this for a couple weeks now and I like doing this.   

fitness with miss Raj

Today Mrs Raj took us outside for fitness. First, we had to make geometrical shapes using our bodies. We had to make a square, a rectangle, a circle, an oval shape, a diamond and even a triangle with our bodies. It took us a while to do this, but we finally did it.

After we made some shapes with our bodies we did a challenge between our group and group number two.We won by one point Mrs Raj told us to find some shapes on the court. We found rectangles, a square, a semi-circle and big circles on the courts.

After making shapes we had to tell three facts about each shape we made. We had to do star jumps, push ups and step ups in between these.

Finally we ran twice around the rectangular court and went back to class.I enjoyed making shapes with our bodies and doing fitness as well.

 

My shape inforgraphic!

This is my shape inforgraphic that I've learnt from one of the media team. I really love the design of it and I want to do this again.

Explanation

Why is the Marae an important place in our community?

The marae is an important place in the community for the Maori people  because it is a sacred place.

The marae is usually used as a place to hold the huis to discuss maori issues. People gather at the marae and the kaumatua leads the hui.

Sometimes the marae is also used for holding funeral services and memorial services for people who have died and they belong to that marae.

Homeless people also go to the marae to seek for food and shelter. It has also helped those people who had been sleeping in cars because they were pushed out of their homes.

People from different communities sometimes use the marae hall to hold meetings and camps. Sometimes the schools also hire the marae buildings to hold their school camps.

Finally, the marae is also used to receive and welcome visitors from different countries or from different parts of the country.
