Hei tama, tu tama

Hei tama, tu tama is a game that our maori ancestors used to play to get their brain thinking fast because they thought that it was cool to think fast.This is a simple game and you dont need anything to play this game the only things you need are you and another player you can either have two or three people its really up to but you can have two or three people to play this game.There are four differant actions that you need to know before youplay they are Hands on hips,Both hands in the air clenched,Left hand in the air clenched and right hand on your hips and right hand in the air and left hand your hips.One player will say Hei tama, tu tama and the other play will do the same but a different action also make sure that you are standing face to face but with some space between you.After you have done these you are ready to start the game both players say hei tama, tu tama when you are play each time you are saying them you have to change your action if both of you are doing the same action its the first one to say Tu tama ra and they win that round its the first person to get ten point that wins

Dagmar Dyke

Today we were learning about different people that do art,there were four differant people that we looked at they were Dagmar Dyke,Fatu Feu'u,Jhon Pule and Ahota'ei loa toetu'u.We were doing DLO's (digital learning objects) to show which one we like the best and why we like their art I did Dagmar Dyke because I really like how she uses differant patterns in her art work and her art tells differant types of stories.I like on of her pieces of artwork because it shows a picture of a waka that tells me that she knows that her ancestors sailed from island to island to find differant places to stay.

Zones of regulation

Today we have been earning about the zones of regulation, the zones of regulation are the different types of emotions that people feel throughout the day and how they might handle those kinds of situations.For example when I am in the green zone (Happy) I am happy,energised and want to move around a lot but I know that I have to calm down and do the work I have to do.But when im in the red zone (Angry/mad) I want to hit things and want to be by my self and just do the things that I want to do and try to calm my self down . 

Term 4 Week one over

Many people know that school has just started back up this week and schools dont do that many things for the first week of school.But our school did a lot of things we had a mufti day on Tuesday and just on Thursday four boys from our school went to national library for duffy because boys that hit teenage years dont like to read.Mufti on Tuesday was to fundraise money for cure kids who want to help kids get over illnesses with the money that they get they give it to scientist so that they have the right things to research how to stop it and how to not even get it I was one of the four boys that went to national library for our school we did a lot of things there like telling others why we think boys dont really like reading and listened to other boys say why they think boys dont like it.

My trip to national library for duffy

Yesterday some boys from kiamanuwanui at our school T.P.S (Tamaki primary school) went to national library to figure out why boys that are close to teen agers dont like reading.At first everyone was quite because no one knew each other but then when we started to play games with each other then things started to change.AFter that I think that everyone was alright and everyone was happy sharing their work and everyone started coming out of their shells we didn't really talk but you could see it when they presented their work.  This was an awesome experience because we got to play with kids from other schools and we got to share our ideas with them and when we started building our things to make reading fun we were all having fun seeing each other's things that they built.

Mutorere game

Today we learnt hot to play an indigenous game of New Zealand called Mu Torere.It's a brain game that make you strategise and use logic to outwit your opponent.This is how you play the game you first have to have a board to play it is one big circle with eight smaller circles on the out line of it.Each player gets four objects they can be anything (that can fit in the circles and on the board) each player will move one of their objects one by one once you have blocked your opponent you have one.You can keep going and have as many games as you want to you can have tournament with all your friends.


This is what the board looks like.

I really like this game I thought that it was challenging but it was still fun.When we were doing it our whole class had a tournament we were all having fun while playing this and we were all happy to start playing and to learn how to play.I also really like this game because it challenges you to use your brain over all i give it a 10/10.

Red nose day (Cure kids)

Today TPS participated in keely kids sport day to help support cure kids.Cure kids is a place where they try help cure the sicknesses that kids can get and they try to stop kids from even getting them.That means that they try to help kids that are sick and try to help them from even ever getting them but that means that they need to research.The research then goes towards people to help their kids.A example of how they help other kids is that with the money that they get they give it to scientist to research as I said before then they try to help the kids that have it and try to let other’s know so that they don't catch it.Children's health is very important because they are the future of our world and they are the ones that will make the parents place when they pass away.If we let them die then our world has no more future and no one will be able to look after the generation after them.

So to help them fundraise we all came in mufti but most people came in red because RED nose day.We did a sports day we played three different game capture the flag,noodle hockey and ball tiggy.We played as separate class room 9 and 10 but we only had ten minutes on each game.Out of all the games I think that capture the flag was my favorite because every time I would go to get a cone out of their hoop they would aim for me and other people would go get it instead.

The one thing out of all of the things that we are doing this term that I really want to do is the night at school.Because we had one in term 2/1 ? and I really enjoyed it seeing more people coming out of their shelfs and dancing,singing,watching other people's skits and seeing everyone having fun and coming together.

The next day we went to the pools were we saw more people having fun and more people that wanted to play with each other.

My personal goal for my last term of 2017 is...To try and join in as much things around the school as I can and try to make lots of new friends before the end of the term.

To fully enjoy these end of year opportunities,I will need to remember to...

Try and have a good term and a good start to the term good start to the term will mean good rest of term.
