The Most Wackiest Wacky Wednesday

Kia ora bloggers at Paihia School we have had the most fun Wacky Wednesday. At Paihia due to Covid-19 we have not been able to do most of the events that we usually do so the teachers and our principle have arranged a Smorgasbord of activities that we are doing this term. The activities are set out through the last term of our school year the activities we're: W3 Friday - Treasure hunt, W4 Thursday - PAL day, W5, Wednesday - Wacky Wednesday, W6 - Colour Run, W7 Friday - Talent Quest and W8 Friday - PAL Beach day. Today is Wacky Wednesday so, what is Wacky Wednesday? you might ask. Wacky Wednesday is a day that you get to dress up as wacky as you want and nobody cares because it is wacky Wednesday. I really enjoy Wacky Wednesday because I get to see all of my friends dress up and put on the MOST WACKIEST day ever. In our class I think that the best dressed is everyone who put their effort into their costume.

At your school do you have Wacky Wednesday or a day that you get to dress up as anything???

Learning About Scams And Phishing

 Kia ora bloggers this week in Te Ngahere we have been learning about scams and phishing on the internet. We were doing this because a lot of us use things on our chromebook that are not secure. These are also  things that we need to learn so we know what to do if this happens in the future.   . While I was doing this I was sort of struggling with the last two things that are in my DLO that you will see,an needed some help with them. Here are some tips to help you stay safe online: if you get a email from a random person saying that you have won something that you haven’t entered a competition to win something and they ask you for your personal information like your email address, your home address, your full name and your birth date you shouldn’t add it in because they have already emailed you but they are asking you for your email address and it sounds too good to be true.

What do you know about staying safe online???

Guess The Book Challenge

 Kia ora bloggers during lockdown me and my friend Mahana made a guess the book challenge  and during our Google Meet me and her shared our guess the book game to the class and they really liked it. This is a game that  we made up because during our online class we had been watching a guess the movie using only emojis and we got an idea to make a guess the book challenge. While me and Mahana were making our guess the book game we were kind of struggling to find books that most of our classmates knew because some books were books that not many of our classmates knew. We used emojis to replicate what book we were trying to symbolize. 

How many books do you recognize??? How many books do you think that you will get right???

Going On Some Long Night Walks

 Kia ora bloggers for a couple days me my aunty and my sister Jade  have been going on night walks and we have so far been on 2 night walks. On the first walk we went to Third Bay and my aunty brought her phone and on the way back home my aunty turned on the step counter on her phone. Once we had turned it on I asked my aunty if I could hold the phone and it counted how many steps I did and I did over 4000 steps. On the second walk we walked to Third Bay again but we turned the step counter on when we left the house. When we got to Third Bay the counter was at 4000+ and when we were on our way home my aunty asked us how many steps we think that I would step and who ever got the closest would get five dollars from the other contestants. I guessed that I would have done  10,112 steps and my aunty guessed that I would have don 10,200 steps( Jade didn’t play because she wanted to save her money). I got the closest because there were 9133 steps and my aunty didn’t give me my five dollars.

Have you ever been on a night walk before???

Trying To Catch A Feisty Kitten

 Kia ora bloggers yesterday on the 29th of August my sister and I caught a kitten because my nan wanted the little kitten, we were aloud to take the kitten because we asked the person that lived at the house if we could try catch the kitten and they said that we could have it if we could catch it ( he even said that he couldn’t even catch it). We tried on saturday the 28th but we didn’t succeed but the we tried the next day and we got it. We used my cats food to trap it so we could get it. It was hard to catch this kitten because it was a very feisty kitten and i got a lot of scratch and bite marks. The kitten is currently living with us and is comfortable with us petting and holding it. Me and my sister also think that it has a twin and we also think that there is another set of twins that is related to our kitten.

Have you ever tried to catch a animal before???

Shrinking Island Taskmaster Challenge

 Kia ora bloggers in Te Ngahere we did a task master challenge called the shrinking island challenge. The way it worked was we had to get into groups of four and one of us had to go to the teacher and gat a piece of newspaper there was two pieces of newspaper tapped together, there would be different rounds and each round we had to fold the paper and we had to try and stand on it for five seconds while the teacher was watching.  We were aloud to do anything as long as we were standing on the newspaper. This was easy at first but when it got challenging was when the newspaper kept getting smaller and smaller. We were aloud in groups of 4-5 and we chose to do 4 people because it would be easier for us to fit in the paper. My group was Mikaila, Tiana, Alexandria and I, we did not win but we thought we did well. We did another round of this but we did it in groups of three and it was a lot easier because w picked people that had small feet , my group was Tiana, Anika and I.  

Have you ever heard of taskmaster before( before you read my blog)???

Going Into Lockdown For A Few Days

 Kia ora bloggers we have been put into lockdown until saturday. There has been a case of Covid - 19 so the whole of New Zealand has been put into lockdown some for longer than others and other shorter than others. This means that we will be having classes using google hangouts, my classes are at 10.00am and 2.00pm. I personally love school this morning I was crying because my aunty wouldn’t let me do my school work because I let her watch her show and she didn’t want to give me my chromebook back. When my aunty finally gave me my chromebook the hangouts were over so I decided to do something else. The next hang out was at 2.00pm so i had to wait, at this point it was like 10.55. I had to wait for around 3 and a half hours to go on our next class. This came to me as a shock when I found out that we were going into lockdown.

Have you ever been into lockdown before or how long have you been in lockdown???
