TOKU MAHI NA Hollie

Cute

Hello. :)

My name is Hollie.  I am 11 years old.  My Toku Mahi post means. My Work.  This post will contain all my online work over the year. I hope you enjoy it.

I am into sports. I love to play Netball, Miniball and Volleyball.

I love swimming and running.

I have really supportive friends who encourage me to do things that I am really scared to try. :P

My goal for the year is to beat Kylee in breaststroke and freestyle, because she always beats me and now its time to beat her! :)

TURANGAWAEWAE FESTIVAL

Every year we celebrate the different cultures in our School by having a Multicultural festival. We have people that come to our school from all over the world. Different cultures dress up in traditional costumes on the day.  We have food stalls and fun games to play.  The things that I enjoyed most were the Jump Jam because I was in it, and the rock climbing wall.

What an awesome dance.

All us girls are doing a new song.

AWAROA TRIP

What a beautiful site!

Tomorrow 16th of March room 1 & 2 are going on a school trip to Awaroa.  We are all very excited  to go.  We leave here at 9.00am and return at School at 6.00pm.  It will be a late night.  At School  we have been studying Awaroa and some of us have really enjoyed it! Our first stop is Kaiteriteri, then we get on a huge Wilsons boat. I am really looking forward to this day, which will be so much fun.

Say cheese

Kaiteriteri beach

All the adults

what a beautiful place

The reasons we went on this trip:

Were to learn the history about Awaroa, we've been studying about it at School for days

The journey went from School at 8:30 we left to Kaiteriteri.  We waited for 20 minutes on the beach for everyone to get on the big Wilson's boat.  It took about 2 hours to get to Awaroa because we had stops on the way.  We arrived there at 10:30.   We went for a walk up to the grave sites where Evered, Edle and William were buried. Then we walked up to the house and had a look around it,(it was huge) then we had lunch about 1:00.  After we had lunch we carried on to Tonga Quarry it took 3 hours and by the time we got there it was 4:00.  We got our togs on and went for a swim, there was heaps of jellyfish and stingrays, so that put me off swimming.  30 minutes later the boat came to pick us up again, it took us back to Kaiteriteri then drove back to school.  By the time we got home it was 6:30, so that was the end of our wonderful journey!  

The highlights for me were:

Doing the big walk to Tonga Quarry.

The benefits for me were:

Going back into the boat.

Touch Rugby

Yesterday 14th of March I had a game of Touch rugby. We played against Mot South school they were really easy because the score was 6 - 0 to us. I scored 2 tries 1 in the first half and 1 in the second half when the hooter went to stop the game but the ref said play on because I just got given the ball and I ran through a gap then all the boys and girls were diving at me.  At the time I felt scared because I thought I was going to kick them in the face but I didn't so that was a good thing, but the other good thing was I got a try right at the end! :) Afterwards everyone came up to me and said,  "Yah Hollie.   That was a mean as try" and they made me feel really good about it!
