Waka Ama Made By Chevylee

Waka Ama

On Monday the 31 of October our class did Waka Ama with Matua Rob every Monday.  He teaches us how to hold the hoe / paddles and how to use them in the water. Waka Ama is when 6 people are in a canoe with an Ama out the side steadying the boat. All of our class carried the Waka Ama down to the sea and 5 people in our class put life jackets on and got in. The first lot of people were Kartell, Aliyah, Patience, Billie and me, Matua Rob was the back steerer. We pushed off and we started paddling, I was in seat 2 which meant I was a front steerer along with Patience who was in seat 1. We paddled out past the parked up boats in front of the bridge, then kept paddling for a bit. Me and Patience were told to draw our paddles under the boat to steer while the others paddle, so we did. When the Waka Ama turned where we wanted it to be, we all started paddling again. As we got to the shore some people in our class held the Waka Ama still so we could get out and give our life jackets to the people who hadn’t had a turn. People went out in groups of five, came back and swapped and so on. Our class did Waka Ama until around 2 o’clock then went back to school.  Waka Ama was so much fun.

World Of Maths

On the 31st of October we had World of Maths. World of Maths visited us with games for learning that make maths fun. My favourite game from World of Maths was called balance beam. We had to use glass rings to balance out each side, and make the beam look like what was on the picture. Next time I will try to make my own rule around the beam. I enjoyed playing the World of Maths games.
