Beeswax Wraps

In Te Ngahere this term we have been learning about beeswax wraps. We are making beeswax wraps because we are trying to stop people from using glad wrap. After morning tea we had to get a piece of fabric to draw on. I wrote all of my friends names on like Keekee, Anyah, Boombe, Fonz, Lesane, Tarquin, Muscles, Ezra, Major, Rikki and Missy. Then we had to run over to the whare kai and put our fabric in a pan of melted beeswax. Beeswax is a natural product made by honey bees.

Technology

In Te Ngahere this term we have been learning about technology. We had to make our stuff out of wooden pallets. Me and Lesane were working on a shoe rack. When we are finished we are going to sell it so we can get money for our school camp next term.  

7s Rugby Tournament

On Tuesday some year 8s, 7s and 6s went to Moerewa to play 7s rugby. We played Kerikeri, Kaingaroa and Okaihau, there were other teams like Kaikohe and Kawakawa but we didn’t played them. We won one and lost two, our last game we just lost by one. Anyah and I are very lucky because we were the only year 6s to go. After that we had some fish and chips for lunch. I think I did well at giving it my all in the games. I also think I did well at working with my team.  

Healthy Drinks

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about healthy drinks. Whaea Gina came in to tell us how much sugar we are putting into our bodies. There was a variety of drinks like Coke, E2, Powerade, Milk, Water, Juice, V and Mother. There were also pieces of paper that were red, orange and green. The green means you can have it every day, the orange means have it once a week and red means have it once a month. I learnt that some of  the drinks that people drink have about 10 teaspoons of sugar.
