I play softball and there is also another girl in my hub that plays her name is Mereana she plays for a club called PCU it stands for pacific club united  and i play for a club called Papanui which you guessed it, it stands for Papanui.

Welcome back to my blog Yesterday Wednesday 20th of November the Kaupeka hub went to south Brighton domain to compete in the tough kids event we sat in school groups and some schools that only had a few members competing sheared with another school we shared with Breends school. We had a little bit of time once we got there to get ready and have a drink of water and some sunscreen of our faces. Once the year 5-6's went it was time for us to go we got up and walked behind a man called tony who was dressed up in a superman costume. They said 3 2 1 and the air horn went we all started running some people slower than other but my best friend Kayla and I ran the whole thing together at the same pace it was so fun there was mud,water,ropes.and bouncy castles to run through. The links below are to show you a bit more about tough kids watch the videos.... Tough Kids link 1 Tough Kids link 2

Welcome back to my blog  This week i'm talking about my week 6 reading create task. So pretty much we have a doc that the whole workshop has to make a copy of and name it, for example:  Charlotte's making connections reading task. On the doc we had to choose one of these to read about and research. and then  Saint Andrews Day , Thanksgiving,The Kilt , Holi,Christmas in Columbia , A traditional Irish Sport,Scotland , Hanukkah. I chose Christmas in Calamba and this is my create task.   (Did you read about something you didn't know before?)(If so, what was it!!!!)

Welcome back to my blog This week in reading we have been learning about Christmas in Calamba. This is somethings i already new-  Spending Christmas in a foreign country like Calamba can be an amazing eye opening experience for you, your friends and family, especially since it’s a world wide festival and most people celebrate it in a very similar way. This is somethings i learnt-  I found out from reading this artacil that in Calamba they spend more time celebrating Christmas than any other country in the whole world. Also something I didn't know was that 90% of the population of Calamba is catholic, the holiday is mainly based on the catholic base. Thanks for reading this blog (Have you ever been to Calamba?)

Welcome back to my blog Last week, the Kaupeka hub went to camp. We went to the YMCA camp in Wainui. We were there for 4 days and 3 nights. We wrote a reflection about the things we found challenging, things we learned, thing we enjoyed and things we are grateful for. Challenging: I found some of the activities challenging. Kayaking was really challenging at the start because I was really scared but once I started doing it I found that it was heaps of fun. We had to do a tramp to get to the YMCA camp and I kept on getting stuck in mud so that was also really challenging. I also got a bit home sick. Enjoyed: I really enjoyed doing the activities. They were really fun to do and it was really cool because I haven't done most of them before. I think I enjoyed kayaking the most because I had never done it before and I liked all the challenges the got us to do in the kayak. My favourite challenge was when we had to stand up on the kayak and we had to jump, I was very happy with myself
