Sir Peter Blake

Hello today I am going to show you what Sir Peter Blake has done and who he is. Sir Peter Blake is our class name and the NZ hero we identify with.

Introduction
Have you ever wondered what it is like to sail around the world?Well lot’s of people have but there is this one person that we are going to talk about and that is Sir Peter Blake the NZ Hero.

ChildhoodPeter was born on the 1 October 1948 in Auckland. He lived in Bayswater with his mum, dad, his two sisters and one brother. When Peter was seven he started to sail and race. They loved playing in the water, this became their playground.Later Sir Peter Blake got married on the 25 August 1979 to Pippa and they had two children.

Talents and AccomplishmentsSir Peter Blake has travelled around the world three times and has won the America's Cup two times in a row.When he was sailing his wife gave him some lucky red socks and now they have become famous because he kept winning when he was wearing them.When he was sailing he saw how polluted the water was.  Peter retired from sailing to start Blake's expeditions to let people know about the ocean life and it’s polluted ways.

Totara Athletics Day

On the 25th of October we did Athletics and we had lots of fun.

The events were discus, shot put, high jump, long jump, sprints 50m, 60m and 80m and long distance.

For shot put I was in third place for throwing 5.25m and I got a ribbon. That is now my best throw.

For getting third in shot put, I may be going to zones and I am so happy.

We had to go in three events but could go in more if we wanted to. I did shot put, long jump and 50m sprints. We all had to do long distance and I had to run around the track 5 times.

Thank you for reading this. I hope you liked it. Please comment thanks. 

Wearable Arts

Wearable art is where you make and wear your own art.

This year we are on street art and we have big spray cans for it. 

I am doing past, present and future.

For the Wearable Arts School Production I am in a group doing a dance for the sport spray can.

Here is the spray can being painted before it was rolled up.

The bottom picture shows all of the painted spray cans before they were rolled up.

If you want to come to our production, you will need to buy tickets from The Shop section of our school website www.hoonhay.school.nz

 They are $10 for each adult and $5 per child. The production is on from 13th-15th September.

Rad Rhythm

We have been doing Rad Rhythm in our class and we have been practising it. There are different types like the gym which we are now doing now.

Rad Rhythm is where you do drumming on big plastic bins. You will have a lot of fun when you are doing it.

You can do it with your class or you can do it with your friends. You can show it to other people, then they can help other people do it, then it will go on and on and on.

Can you do it? Would you be interested in it? I hope you will comment on this post. 

Maths

I will be doing some of my maths in this post. Underneath is some of my maths thinking. I am working on my 9 times table now, but here I can show you some adding.

47+83=130

This is how I worked it out.

40+80=120
7+3=10
120+10=130

This is called the place value strategy. Thanks for reading my blog.
