museum
On Friday our class went on a bus to the Museum. While we were waiting to arrive at the Museum we were singing maori songs like mihi mai ra. When we arrived we meet a person named Joshua he told us lots of rules it was like the library rules in glen innes don't run don't shout.
My favorite part was when we went to the visual simulator. I was really scared when i put the glasses on because i thought it was real. It was so interesting because it looked like I was sitting on a person.
The next place we went was at the maori court. On the booklet we had to find out how much warriors can fit in a waka. We find out that 5 warriors can fit in a big gap. there were 20 gaps so the answer was 100.
Then we went to our dinosaur lesson up stairs. We had to go in 3 groups and go in a circle. We had a quiz there was 3 competitors Anaia was a competitor Hazel was two and Ash. There was team duck and sheep also chicken team chicken won. We got to hold dinosaur bones and poo.

On Monday we had kiwisport class. Room 11 played a sport called volleyball. When class 11 walked in I noticed chairs Bethan “said to me that's weird for volley ball”. When we sat down Our coach Liz said “Who wants to be the leader for stretching she picked Tata.
When our coach Liz told us a new technique i was really excited it was called the digger.
We had to team up with a buddy and face each other. While my friend Bethan was trying to do the digger my other friend hit the ball and it went soaring to the ceiling bang it made a big sound like a gun shooting 10 times.
she also taught us to spike. She told us if your a right arm then your leg step. And do the opposite if your left arm.

Students from different classes gather all Together in the hall excitedly sitting up normally Mr Burt walks through the aisle.
After Mr Burt introduced the Topic for this year he had his own presentation about an extinct bird. He played a movie about the bird it was hilarious because they were 4 kid acting annoyed about this bird and at the end he got eaten.
