Experiencing Marine Reserve

W.A.L.T:Explain what we have learnt through our EMR snorkeling sessions

 A couple weeks ago the senior classes had the honour to go down to the pools and learn how to snorkel. Isoble (Our instructor) taught us some simple tips for snorkeling such as putting toothpaste on our masks prevents it from fogging up and always snorkel with a friend.

In session two we traveled to Matia bay for snorkeling.
I enjoyed snorkeling because it was an honor and it was incredible to see all the fish.
When we arrived at Matia we got split into three groups.My group was the first to go.
We got geared up and headed into the water.
As soon as I got into the water I dived into the water seeing a whole new world.There were tiny fish swimming around and some kina at the bottom of the rocks.My turn was over and we headed to the rest of the school.
I really enjoyed snorkeling.

WHAT A YEAR PCS!

This year there has been a lot of amazing highlights.
Here are some of the main ones....

CROSS COUNTRY!
Cross country this year was fun.
We ran up steep hills,muddy puddles,crawl under fences and jump over ponds.
Cross country was cool because everyone came back muddy.
I felt so tired after running.
I came 5th out of my year group.

ATHLETICS!
Athletics was so fun because everyone tried there best and achieved something.
I was so nervous to go against some of  the other girls.
In the end i was happy of the placing i came.

SURFING!
A couple weeks ago the year 6,7 and 8ś went to ahipara to go surfing.
It was the best time of my life.
We learnt how to be safe when surfing and how to surf.
We went over some rules and then it was time to surf!
I caught some big waves and some small ones.
Our surfing instructor helped me catch some big waves.

CAMP!
I  could go on and on about camp but i dont want you to get bored some im just gonna tell you some of my high lights.
One of my main highlights was having the camp disco.

👑Google doc ninga challenge👑

    Every Thursday Whaea Donna comes into our class to teach us how to be cyber smart/safe and how to do new things on our devices.

Last week we were on our buddy classes blog and we saw that they were doing a Google ninja challenge, so when Whaea Donna said we were going to do it I was really excited because I read good reviews about it. I found it really challenging at first but in the end it kinda got easier.

                    I managed to complete all 4 Levels in 1 hour and 10 minutes.

        It wasn't easy at all😂 We had to recolour,Change the font,change the text,change the size 

                                   add things,edit things and research things.

            I liked how each level was different and challenging at the same time.

    

          Have you done the ninja challenge before??

         If you have what was the most challenging level?
