Gumboot Friday - supporting mental health Jumbo bloggers, welcome back to another one of my blogs. On Friday as you may know it was Gumboot Friday supporting Mental Health. If you don’t know what Mental Health is it when you don’t feel good about yourself and it means you can get depressed. We had a Gumboot Friday to support everyone who may be feeling that way and to raise awareness ab out Mental health. The person chose to wear Gumboots because when you have Mental Health problems it’s like you’re going through mud with all of the negative thoughts and not feeling good about yourself so he chose to wear Gumboots. Also because for some people when they wake up and go to where they need to be it’s like walking through mud for them. He encouraged as many people in New Zealand to wear Gumboots, The teachers and some children wore Gumboots to school. The senior syndicate wrote positive and uplifting quotes / messages. A student in our syndicate  came up with the idea to put ...

🌊Senior swimming sports💧 Hi bloggers, On Thursday the senior syndicate went to Cameron pools for swimming sports. There were four races which were freestyle, backstroke, house relays and year 5, boys year 6 boys, year 5 girls, year 6 girls and teacher and parents race. I was in the first race for freestyle and first race for backstroke. In freestyle I came first which I was really pleased about and then another girl named Neeve came second. Also for the backstroke I came first and Neeve came second again. Then it was time for the relays I got into the house relays which is a race between our house groups and our house groups are Tui (my house), Ruru, Pukeko and kea. There were four people from each house racing. Luckily our house group won which is Tui. Then it was time for the last relay. We all raced and the teachers and parents won by far and I don't know what the other score was. Unfortunately there are no photos from the actual day. Blog you later.

Special Assembly Hi blogger, as you may know in Christchurch a tragedy has happened, so our school had a special assembly to show respect to everyone in Christchurch. We made cards to send out to all the people who helped in Christchurch and also all the other people that were a part of it. I wrote two messages, one for the hospital and the other one was for the Linwood mosque. Also on Monday we had a special assembly. We planted a kowhai tree by our friendship bench and a person from each class lay all the cards down. We chose a kowhai tree because it represents our school. I was chosen to lay it down for our class I felt honoured to be able to lay a card down. Everyone from our school made a card to send to the people who work and live in Christchurch. Also we had a minute of silence to show that we care. New Zealand has helped a lot and so far we have raised $8,852,439.40.

Summer learning journey Activity one Hi bloggers, For the summer learning journey we had to make a blog on whether or not we want to visit Tanē Mahuta one day. Also to say reasons why and why not you want to visit  the special tree. Here is what I thought about it. I would like to visit Tanē Mahuta one day because it is such an amazing tree and it has been there for years and years also it is a very special tree.  Here are my reasons why and why not I want to visit Tanē Mahuta.  Why I want to see Tanē Mahuta  My first reason why I want to visit Tanē Mahuta is because it is a very very old tree and not many people in the world have seen it.  It is a special tree and it would be really cool to see it.
