Pai te Mahi o te Roopu

 Well done Team, you have all been a huge blessing to me and Ms Siaoloa. Keep working hard we appreciate it.

Michael Mulipola

Have you ever dreamt of something and thought or been told you can't do that. Remember if you can Dream It you can do it. 

Michael Mulipola loves comic books and he used to draw his favourite marvel characters such as Green Lantern. Now he draws for other people not just himself. 

I really like how he mixes two of his favourite hobbies for a paying job, wrestling and comic drawing.

Number Patterns

I enjoy following numbers patterns it really is quite easy once you can see how the numbers in the sequence change.  

How do you find algebra? Can you figure out the patterns?

Give it Uuuup for...

 Your are awesome. Thank your for all your hard work this week.

Splish Splash I was not taking a bath

Swimming - we are so lucky to have our pool open, thank you Mr Ball. We go swimming on Tuesday and Wednesday. We start with a warm up as the water is slightly cold. We have a race to the other end (12.5 metres) and then play a game, ‘ships’ or ‘stuck in the mud’. We have used the noodles but they have to be cleaned each time a class uses them. Miss even taught us side stroke, where you lay on your lower arm positioned above your head and pulls the water to your middle, the other arm moves from the middle and pushes the water away. Feet are doing a scissor kick. 

The tricky part was making sure we stayed 2 metres apart at least. Are you able to go swimming yet?

Footit - My New Game

 We are looking at Cultural Sports, we have been investigating Kilikiti. Today for our early bird task we had to use the combination key to mix a sport with cricket. I choose Football to mix with Cricket. Here is my new game - Footit.

I can't wait to give it ago with the class. Have you ever played sports where the games are a bit mixed up?

Kilikiti - Island Cricket

 Today we tried a different type of cricket called Kilikiti. Samoa was introduced to English Cricket many years ago. But they thought it was boring as it took 5 days to play one game. So they change some of the rules. 

You must always have two hands on the bat, and if you are not facing the ball the bat needs to be on your shoulder. If you step out of the pitch you are also out. Hopefully the teacher will take some photos for us to share what it looks like.

I found it hard to bowl, as I haven't bowled for cricket in a few years. Next time, I hope to have a bat.
