Term 1 Reflections

In the beginning of the year more and more new students have been coming

to our class. I feel that we have to show them what kind of school we are , like

we should show them how to be kind to one another.

I learnt lots of things in maths such as decimal problems , fractions , problem

solving and time tables. I really think that I didn’t improve in my maths test

because I didn't really try my best. I feel that I need to learn more and more

maths homework so I can understand maths more.I thought I was still going

to go on with my maths test but that was the end of it. I am very scared for next

term because there might be more and more challenging subjects.

In swimming I learnt back stoke , free style , breathing test and much more

things. I think I need to learn more and more swimming things such as backstroke

and freestyle.  In backstroke I need to learn how to swim straight or in a line so

I don’t go the wrong direction and so I don’t get lost. In free style I need to do the

same too.

In Music I learnt Ukulele , Piano , Sound of culture music , Recorder , xylophone ,

flute and drums. I sure learnt a lot of cords in piano because when I play it I don’t

read the cords I just play anything but music has help me a lot in piano chords. I

really love playing ukulele because it's kinda like a culture thing , we use drums

and ukulele to dance. I never knew any ukulele chords but know i do.

In kiwi can I learnt so much about cooperation , positive relationships , positive

communication , leadership , Role model , Goal settings and how to help others.

Kiwi Can has helped me in relationships (friendship). It helps me to gain more

relationships with my school , friends and family. It also helps me be more and

more helpful when people are not around. Kiwi can is so fun and understanding.

In sports I am trying to like join every sport so I can learn how to play. So far we

had softball and volleyball tournament it was so fun and exciting. In softball we

came 3rd in volley we all came 1st (Yeah). I feel that sports helps me to lose

weight and it helps me to learn how to do more and more running things. TBH

when I was small I was very fast but now I am slow so I was to gain more

confidence to show that I am fast.

In clubs I learnt how to do drama and acting. In drama you have to get all you

confidents out and don’t be shy. Drama helped me be more and more confident

and it helped me be who I am. In drama I really like plays because you can like

pretend to be someone and you can show your confidence.

In mindfulness it really helps me control my anger with other people such as

my little siblings and my older siblings as well. Mindfulness it something that

makes you calm and relaxed. Mindfulness will help others with sports and

other things that includes fighting and drama.

This term I have learnt that my class always wants to gain attention to other

people. My class is just so very funny , talented , annoying (sometimes) , Cool

, kickback and chill. My class can sometimes be so a headache but yeah they

can be very cool and amazing.

Volleyball tournament 2k19

Yesterday , Wednesday 10th April 2019 , Students from Glenbrae school

had a competitive Volleyball tournament with other manaiakalani schools

at ASB Tamaki Cluster stadium . Such as ,Tamaki primary l , Glen Innes ,

St Pius , Stonefields , Pt england , Bailey rd  , and Ruapotaka. We had four

volleyball teams , two year 8 teams , one year 7 team and one year 6 team.

We had Mrs Tukuafu , Mrs Atuahiva , Mrs Tofa and Mrs Maruariki.

Firstly , we won our first and second game , Tied our third game , went to the

finals and won out last game with Stone fields So we came 1st place. Secondly

The year 8’s won their first , second and third game and won both the semi final

games. Lastly the year 6;s won all of their games and they came first as well.

After all those fun and challenging games with other schools we sadly had to

leave and go back to school, because it was 2:30pm. When we got to school

we took off our uniform and changed into our usual clothes. After changing

Maya’s mum decided to buy our volleyball team some pizzas and drinks.

When the pizza cam everybody was so surprised because she brought lots

of pizza.

I really enjoyed the Volleyball tournament because i got to hang out with my

friends and i got to play volley with other schools even though they lost. I also

liked the encouragement going on because it really helped with the game as

well. I can’t wait for the next volleyball tournament so we can Vc more and more

Manaiakalani school.

Inquiry - Reflection

Today our classroom splitted into groups of three and shared a bit of learning about the brain and the nervous system. My group went to room 10 and another group went to room 9 to teach them about the brain and the nervous system. We had kahoots , activities , games and articles to do. My group really learnt a lot of things today i think they really enjoyed the sharing about the brain and the nervous system. In My group there was Candice , Maya , Aj , Victoria M , Victoria F , Joshua , Nehilofi , Pitara , Genevive and myself.  I really enjoyed myself as well because when I am older I wanted to be a teacher and it really helps.

Today Room 7 was observed by a very kind lady named Amanda.

She came into our class with Mra Raj. We have been doing mindfulness for

quiet a while now so that is why Amanda came so she can see what we have

learnt about it. We showed her mindful Breathing , how to draw our breathing

, Emotions and much more things. We couldn’t show her mindful eating and

nature walk because we were sitting down on our chairs.

I really enjoy Mindfulness because it really controls my anger and it also helps

with your breathing. Mindfulness also helps you to be calm , relaxed , happy

and joyful. Our teacher told us to use mindfulness at home or anywhere else so

our anger get low. I learnt that rugby players used mindfulness in there games

with other teams.
