Beeswax Wraps

Yesterday we made some beeswax wraps. We were given a small square fabric to design before we had to dip it in the beeswax. When we finished we waited until Anouk came to get three student to go with her. We had to use them for our lunch. Instead of using glad wrap or tin foil we use these. What I enjoyed was drawing my design and dipping it in the beeswax.

Technology

In  Te Ngahere we have been doing technology with Mr Lindsay.
We were learning how to use different types of equipment.
I think I did well in sanding and oiling the pallets.
I enjoyed oiling and drilling the pallets.
I think we could do better at drilling the holes more accurately.

Rugby Sevens

On Tuesday some of the  year 7&8s went to Moerewa  to play a Sevens tournament. There were different schools. We played against Kerikeri, Kaingaroa and Okaihau. We beat Kaingaroa we lost by one against Okaihau and we lost against KeriKeri. I don’t know what the score was for KeriKeri. I think we did well with drawing and passing.

Energise

On Monday Whaea Gina came to Paihia School to talk about what drinks we should have everyday, sometimes and hardly ever. The first drink we started with was raro. Did you know that there are twenty teaspoons of sugar in raro? We looked at the other drinks she brought. There was water which is an everyday thing. There was a V can which has twenty five teaspoons of sugar in it. Whaea Gina even said that kids have died drinking V. And it has as much caffeine as a normal coffee does. It was also shocking to see what we were putting in our bodies.
