Term 2 Week 4 in Room 16

 This week has been busy!

First, we learnt to play Ti Uru. Ti Uru is a Maori game where we have to pass the ball to our team members and try to win a point. We win a point by passing it to a person who is standing in a hoop. When we get a point, the hoop is taken away. When all the hoops are gone, that team wins.  Ti Uru is a really fun game to play. We are learning how to catch and pass a ball, how to spread out to give more space, and how to work together as a team. We can't wait for the tournament in Week 10.

Next, we learnt about healthy drinks with Matua Tupara. We learnt that energy drinks have lots of sugar but also caffeine which makes your heart beat fast and can lead to a heart attack if you drink too much. Ribena has the most sugar in it. We should be drinking water and milk only to keep us hydrated.

And finally, today it is Gumboot day. A day to raise money and awareness for depression and mental health. Mike King says that depression is like walking through mud, which is why we wear gumboots.

Did you dress up for Gumboot Day?
