🖌 Colour Changing 🖌

How do colours change? This week our class was working on an experiment. At first I felt I had no hope in completing this experiment, but as we slowly got stuck in to it I was wrong. We started off by cutting out 3 equal circles that was 1cm apart. After,  we had to colour each side with red, green and blue then punch a hole with a nail. Once we had finished we used some wool to thread through the hole. I was so excited once it finished because I could see the different colours in the wheel and it was that simple. The purpose for this experiment was to find out if colours could change, it certainly did. 

🎉 Duffy Role Model Assembly 🎉

A couple of days ago we had our Duffy Role Model Assembly! I've always enjoyed Duffy Assembly since day 1, because they motivate us to become better readers in the future. Our special guest was Michel Mulipola, a Samoan comic book artist and a wrestler. He shared all his comic books with us that I haven't really seen. I was hoping I could read some of his comic books, but he was really inspiring throughout the whole assembly. I have to say that I enjoyed it anyway.

😞 So Much Running! 😞

For the last few weeks rooms 9,10 and 12 have been concentrating on our cross country. I was really devastated even though people say running is good for you in some ways. As we all started running round and round the block, I felt like I was going to collapse any minute but luckily I didn't. Once it was the last lap I thought I should at least put some effort in and so I did. Finally I had finished running. My legs were so numb and I could hardly breathe. But now I know if I just keep running I will be familiar with the routine and should be fit soon. 

😄 Orienteering 😄

Yesterday I attended my first Orienteering. At first it was kind of nerve racking because I didn't know what to do. Once I received my piece of paper and map I quickly ran around looking for attachments. It was kind of hard to concentrate with the cold air blowing upon my face. After running around it started to ease down and I was really tired but I managed to keep going. As I became more familiar with the course it was like a piece of cake. Finally I darted off to Mr Leon and I was so surprised because I came first. I jumped with joy. Once everyone slowly made there way back and calmed down we all sat their patiently waiting. Overall Orienteering was so much fun. Do you love Orienteering?

♬ Our Moana Singing ♬

Yesterday we were preparing for our Pasifika Display. Each class in our entire school had to come up with a song related to the Pacific. There were so many songs to choose from, but the main song our teacher thought of was Moana: How Far I'll Go. Everyone in our class obviously knew the song especially me. Once the song started all of us were so shy to express our voices. But as we started to gain confidence it became familiar and everybody started joining in. It was a different experience and one that I began to enjoy, I hope everyone else felt the same way. 

🏃 My Experience At St Kents 🏃

I walked into class and noticed on the board that we have St Kents Day! I jumped with joy, it's been nearly 2 years since I last went there, this was my opportunity to go again. Once the bell rang everyone who was invited to come bolted off like a cheetah especially me. I was glad that I had Tupouseini, Vika and Mary to support me. As we walked to the bus like mature students we quickly seated ourselves and off we went. When we arrived we were so happy that we quickly rushed off the bus and waited in our class lines. We had different but fun activities to do. I'm so excited to see what we'll be doing next.

🥇 Our Skipping Improvements 🥇

I'm so happy to do skipping. For the past few weeks our class have been doing a lot of practice for our skipping display. Our warm ups have really been helping us to become better than before. After our warm ups we are split into groups of up to 5 or 6.  I must say after all the hard work we've all put in, it actually showed when we were displaying our moves. Everyone had different skill levels with skipping -  some were beginners and others were advanced. During our practice our teachers were choosing people for our skipping competition that will be happening at the end of the term. But I know that if we keep practicing it will all make a change!
