Etai - Snag Golf

SNAG GOLF from Tamaki Primary on Vimeo.

SNAG GOLF

Snag golf is a weird word but it stands for something when your a beginner.

1. S-Starting

2. N-New

3. A-At

4. G-Golf

Snag golf is an exciting sport to experience with heaps of your classmates or your friends.

Today, Kia Manawanui went out to play snag golf in the morning. While we were playing snag golf we had to do the drill at the same time. If you don't know what drill we were doing we had to do the earthquake drill. While we were playing snag golf were heard a beep or rumble we thought that it was someone about to talk but it wasn't. Mrs Fepuleai told us if that's the drill and it was, so all the kids had to go and run into an open space. When we ran to an open space Mrs Fepuleai told us about her sister in christchurch when the earthquake happened.

Our instructor today was Hough. The lesson that we did today was how to keep your arm straight while you're throwing. While we were playing I went to a different station because there was lot of people at my station. Snag golf was very exciting because all we got to do was to play a game and learn how to keep your arm straight.

Adolescence

When we made the trench we had a gun and a food can with a mouse in the front. Samuel, Munokoa and I made the sand bags and the guns. Munokoa went to go and plan in the book so when we get the play - dough we can get started on our trench.

Powhiri

Walt: write a recount

Yesterday all the seniors rushed to Point England beach to welcome the guests that travelled from Hawaii over four thousand kilometres. The guests from Hawaii’s pronunciation was kind of an American accent but they still can talk in Maori.

  

When they stepped onto the land the ko matua presented a speech for the guests while they were coming. The people that came from Hawaii talked to us about how manaiakalani was created. They had a really long speech but really good because other children can learn from that.

Next, we had to sing three songs. The three songs a called E oho ra e, He honore, Nga waka. Then this man came and told us a speech about him and the manaiakalani. He told us about the manaiakalani and the hook that a man holds. An american guy gave us a speech about a scientist that told him about manaiakalani in school.

Whether you are any culture your ancestors were the manaiakalani navigators. The People around the world have more knowledge and they have more ancient knowledge too. The people around the world are also part of the manaiakalani hook (the hook of heaven).

At the end a man gave a karakia. When he finished the karakia all schools had to go and high five the people that came all the way from Hawaii. After we finished we had to line up to go back to school and have lunch.

Walt: position fractions on the number line.

In this game you have to find the correct fraction to put on the number line. Then you drop it if you know where it goes. If you drop it on the wrong number you would have to start again. This was very difficult at first but when I started playing it the game got easier. I did not understand this at first. Next I want to learn my decimals.

St Patrick

Walt: explain the legends of St Patrick

St Patrick was born in 387 A.D. St Patrick’s real name is Maewyn Succat. Maewyn’s parents are part of the Roman family. St Patrick was kidnapped at the age of sixteen and was taken to Ireland by the pagan Irish Raiders.

The name St Patrick was given to him later in life by Pope Celestine. Also the shamrock was actually called the summer plant. He also spread the word of God when he was twenty eight years old.

There is another legend about how Maewyn drove the snake out of Ireland. He stood on the hill and he tried to poke the snake’s with his stick. Then he caught them and he drove them away.

There are many legends linked to St Patrick. There is one

legend when St Patrick drives the snake’s out of the Ireland and trapped them in a small box that he could throw into the sea so there could be no more snakes in Ireland that means they vanished under the reef.

Another legend is when mericle and magical fought and when St Patrick had to fight the Druids. After he fought them he had a vision of him being baptized to become a bishop.

St Patrick’s colour use to be blue but when Maewyn Succat came back they changed the colour back to it’s well known green. Then Maewyn travelled about two hundred miles to a ship.

St Patrick died in 17 march 670 A.D.
