Point system
The point system is something we do at school to keep our learning healthy and the point system makes us want to work more because if we listen and focus on our work then we might get points and get prizes.

Olympic games
This week we started learning about the Olympics. We first had to select 3 athletes from Aotearoa. One of my picks is Lisa Carrington. She is a kayaking queen and has won 5 gold medals, 1 silver and bronze medals. She is from Tauranga.
Mau rakau 20 Poututerangi
Today I learnt waewae nuku which has 6 movements and actions to it. Mau rakau has been helping me develop my
co-ordination skills with my hand and body movement. I have been able to use my tinana and waewae together as well as moving the rakau across my body.
We have to be very careful with our rakau to not hit anyone. We use lines and porowhita to practice our movements.
I think I am getting more confident in my skills.
Action Goals 2024
My main goal at the begining of the year was to do better in maths. I have to learn my basic facts to become better.
Wednesday-Mau Rakau(Action)
Today at mau rakau I did some actions using the rakau. Matua showed us the taiaha and patu which we all got to hold. The patu was made of pounamu, it was very heavy. At the end we played tag and Matua said that we had to use manaakitanga to show kindness and generosity when we took the tag off each other. When we lost a tag we had to sit down and hoped that someone would give us a tag to get back into the game.
Reading Change
This week we started a new reading program. I liked the part where I read new words. I did not like the part where we had to read and answer the questions. I think this new program is a good idea .
