Zespri challenge

So me my class are doing Zespri challenges. And all the other classes t are doing it too. Like we walk around the blocks with our fit bits we get. And how we get bonus points is that u get it by walking, running. It's important to be in Zespri challenges because u get points and prizes too. The steps I have done were about like 5000 but then it restarted. Now I only got about one hundred steps. Every day we go for walk around the block or halfway or we go up by haruatai park around the field and back to school.

Science roadshow 2021

 

                         Tuesday the 30 March The year 7 and 8 went to a roadshow in the hall at Otaki collage. Also Two things I enjoyed  about was this untangle the rope and this cent smell about fruit and and you guess what it is.I enjoyed those two activities because they were fun. also what one thing the presenters showed was That if you put fire by a  balloon it will pop  and  balloons have air in it so it would make a loud noise that why the year 7 and 8's had to block there ears.After the roadshow we went back to class.

Otaki Bollards

 ŌTAKI COLLEGE BOLLARDS

W.A.L.T express our ideas about the bollards installed along our driveway. We are using descriptive language and checking our sentence structure is correct in our blog writing.

There is  Bollards now cause when they were not  there people would  just go  running across the road and biking. Also cars could easily come up the driveway and probably run you over. So there is bollards because to keep the school safe and to make sure they don't go on the road so  they would have to walk on the footpath or walk there bike by the bollards. And there is a little crossing in the middle of the bollards for people to cross or walk there bike across. 

I like how you were explaining how and what the poles are used for and the bollards

OC Ceremony.

 At Otaki collage we had S.S Otaki ceremony For captain Lewis Robinson,Mr Mervyn Martin Ms Christine Papps,Mr Rawiri Rikihana, and other. Also two people that did the karanga was  whaea Maha and a student from Otaki collage . And Father Phil Cody had a job of talking to a lot of very important people for the  ceremony and he talked on a mic to the school and the people that came for the ceremony. And we welcomed the people in and sang a song for them that we were practising for the ceremony and it is called Ma wai ra. Then  Mr frazer stood up and talked on the mic  for a while about what happend  in the war some people died and just forgiving there lives and about the people that came for the ceremony. So we sang some important songs and stood up singing for a couple of hours. also A porwhiri is like a meeting for people to meet and something that could be important in it. Mana was a Flag bearer for the S.S Otaki. What I enjoyed was the Songs and it was Ma wai ra ,Ko Tenei Te wa.
