wellbeing with mrs mcgrath

Yoi tsuitachi blogger

Today on may 17th 2021 we did stuff about kindness and giving compliments. First we did a game like musical statues but when the music stops you tell the closest person near you and say something you're grateful for.

After that we made some fortune tellers witch had to have compliment or something nice about them, to make it you need a a4 paper, a pencil, and coloring pencil's. First fold the a4 paper into a perfect square then rip the side of, secondly fold it diagonally in half unfold it then do it with the other corner on the top. Thirdly fold it in half and then do it with it other side, then you fold all of the corners in the middle, then flip it around and do it with the other side, then flip it around again, and there should be 4 flaps put your thumb and a index finger in two flaps and put you other thumb and index finger in the other 2 flaps, and there you have it.

Then we did a compliment circle where you had to tell someone a compliment about then sit down and the they do it to other people but you could only say that compliment once, so if other people say "your a good friend" you had to say something different. If someone's day is down give them a compliment to cheer them and there day day up :) . 

We did all of this because it is pink shirt week/day.

swimming at cameron pools

Hello blogger

Today i am going to talk about swimming at Cameron Pools. When we enter first we had to get changed in the mens or womens bathroom, then when you put your swimming clothes on, and you put everything in you swimming bag and walk out.

Next you walk and wait for 5-15 mins and sit on the bench. When you get your name called out you will go to the teacher that called you and climb or sit and turn into the pool.

Then she or he guides you through the class. There will be stream lime with floaty board, and stream lime without floaty board, then armstrokes with floaty board then armstrokes without floaty board. after that you do backstroke or back kicking with or without the floaty board, and then a little funner type of swimming where you when you do 5 armstrokes you a rolly polly in the water.

When then class is finished you either climb out, or use the ladder. Then you get changed and go on the bus back to school and have lunch for 20 mins and then go play for 10 mins and go back to class and then go home.

family fun day

 

hello blogger

On the 19 of March 2021 we had a Family Fun Day. The whole school was all split up  into 4 group: Kea (aka the best house group in waikowhai school), Ruru, Tui, and Pukako. We all went to different spot around the school, there was the slip'n'slide, wheels, a ninja course for kids, and a bounce castle with a water pool at the end. kea first went to the slip'n'slide, ruru did wheels, tui did obstacle course, and pukako did the bounce castle into a pool.

When kea went to the water slide the senior went to the slide and the middle school and under went to the pool. We all had 7 - 9 turns to go down the slide then it was the middles and juniors, then we swapped. 

Next we went to the bounce castle and i won all of the races. First in the obstacle course the was some horizontal cylinder then a pit then some cylinders with spike thing that don't harm you then some tunnels and a climbing wall. Then we went to the to the bouncy castle to a pool.

Duffy theatre!!!

OH NOOOOOOOOO...... thump!

Hello world!! on the 8th of April 2021 we had a Duffy theatre in the school hall and every year 3 or 4 people come to do a show with a theme, this years theme was covid-19 lockdown and Duffy.
 
It started with a fight when we were entering the hall but there was no incidents or bruises. The first thing they did was introduce themselves. There were 3 people acting for 10 characters, a pig, 4 chickens, aunty, mum, duffy, and scruffy. my favorite part of the duffy theatre was the start of the show when they were fighting and when he fell down the hole in the ground.

 I liked the fighting scene because I like action and fighting stuff so I liked it, also I liked when he fell down the hole because when he went down it he found some ancient Moa bones and if you ask me, i'm kinda a big nerd myself so I liked it too.
At the end I felt I related to it because I did not like online classes but I kinda did, and I did not like doing jobs around the house, and I did not like staying home but we have to do it for health & safety purposes.
