3g4g Trip

On Tuesday the 12th of May ⅞ Bh,Sh,Ts and Tz went
to the fo guang Shan Buddhist temple in riccarton.
When we got there we got split into two groups. In group one
it was ⅞ Sh and Ts. I was in group two with Bh. My group went
to make flowers first. We could choose any colour we wanted our
flower I made a pink one.After we made the flowers we sat down and watched a
video about being kind and spreading the kindness throughout everyone. Then
we went outside to get water tattoos on our hands. After that we went for a tour
around the temple. When we got upstairs we stopped and the guy talked to us
about the never ending hallway. Then we went into the library and he talked
to us about the books. Then we went back downstairs and meet up with group
two and lined up to get two cookies and a cup of water. We sat down to eat our
cookies and drink our water for about 10 minutes. Then we went upstairs, when
we got upstairs we went into a big room. The guy told us to sit down in our groups.
First we got asked if we wanted to bath the budish. Only a few people wanted to
do it. He taught us how to meditate. I found it really fun because I have never
meditated before. Then we got a bell that we had to blow at the end.
Then we left.

Revolution Tour

On Tuesday the 28th of may, Reggie Dabs came to our school to talk to us. First he taught us 2 games called "throw your friends under the bus" and i dont remember the other ones name. To play throw your friend under the bus we had to point at people through out year 7 to 10 when Reggie says a kind of person. The other game was with music, Reggie played the flout and it was a song and when it came to the chorus we had to sing it. The songs were Just the way you are, Let it go kiki do you love me. Reggie told us about his past I found it really sad but his big message was " Its all right everything will be okay".

How to play Ki o Rahi

Ki o Rahi- How to Play:

2 teams with 8 players.

The teams are called Taniwha and Kioma.

You make a big circle with poles then a smaller one with cones and another smaller one with
cones then a Tupu in the smaller circle. Tupu is a barrel in the middle of the field.

Kioma has 2 or less players guarding the Tupu while Taniwha tries to throw the ball at Tupu.
Kioma has to try and hit the ball when Taniwha tries to score. Kioma has to run around to each flag
and then run to the Tupu and place it down in the circle Tupu is in. If kioma has the ball taniwha has
to try and tag them 2 times by 2 different people and the same for taniwha.

Music

You can see our DLO here. 

This week we have been doing music. In music we got peered up, I am with Hayley in 7/8 Bh. We had to make a slide with 12 slides. In each slide we had to write about each decade since the 1900s to now. We had to pick a song for that decade and write what it was about and what the most popular genres were. 

Hope you enjoy!
