Matriki day

Yesterday was matariki day. It was so fun. We did so much stuff!(we did 3 things.)
First,

 We made some matariki kites.

You need bamboo strips, paper and feathers. 

We made a base with the bamboo and then made a punch of paper patterned and put it on the base. 

Next, we went to bake some bread. 

First you get some water, next you get some self raising flour.

After that you mix it and put in a bunch of cooking oil.

After that, we went to do some stop motion.

We had to make it about a maori story. 

My story was mori and the sun.

Blog ya later! -Tristan-

Cross Country!

Cross Country Wk 12

O.M.G! Yesterday was cross country! We did lots of games activities and more.

10:00, we headed off toward the chill station. 

there, we played on the playground. on the playground, we played cheat.

Next, at 11:00, we went to play tennis. me and marcus hit the ball to each other a total of 115 times!!!!

soon, at 12:00, we went over to the handball place.

I played handball with marcus and nigel.

I think this part was my fave.

after, at 1:00, we played something called blindfold. 

you buddy up and one of you puts on a blindfold.

then, you guide your partner to a bean bag that is on the floor and you have to tell them to pick it up. 

if you touch a hula hoop, you have to go back to the beginning.

after some of that, we went to the 5 place, where we sit and watch cross country. 

(we did races in order from 0/1 2 3 4 5 6.) we watched and cheered for the passersbys. 

I think this was kinda boring, but next, was our race!

soon, we were at our last station! lining up on the start line waiting for the signal.

Bang! we were off, with Daiki running past us all, I dropped down to about 4th place.

 after my first lap of the school, I was almost dead. halfway around the second lap, I was close on TJ's heels. we were rounding the last corner, i put in my last bit of energy, but TJ came 3 and I came 4th.

I am the one with the yellow t-shirt.
