table tennis experience

At lunch time yesterday we had table tennis. There was a man named Dinyar who works for table tennis New Zealand. He taught us how to hold a table tennis bat and some basic skills. We all were listening well and it was interesting. He inspired us how to play table tennis. The table tennis balls were light and orange and very bouncy. By the way in the beginning we all gathered together for a selfie. 

Then we had a competition and it was about balancing the ball on the bat for the longest time. There were  3 or 4 rounds. At first it looked easy but when we tried it we... um we all almost failed but there were still 6 people standing. One person went out  then the third, the fourth, then the fifth. Eventually here were 3 people standing and then two other balls fell!. AND ONE PERSON WON!!!!!. It was Chadwick.

Second round - i was concentrating on the ball and it was so tense. I was so scared that my ball fell!. All the other people were confident - 5 people lost their balls and they were out. One person lost the ball and the person who won the first round won AGAIN!. 

The third and final round. We all went hard and all the other people fell. I was not out yet but sooner or later my ball fell. My ball lost balance. and then mine and other peoples' balls fell. It was down to two people AND SOMEONE ELSE WON. We all cheered. Now it was time for him to go and

the bell rang.

Revaling my feelings through art

A few weeks ago this term I drew my self portrait and made it look like ME. First we did the face outline and found out where to put the eyes, nose, ears and lips. I coloured it in using wax crayons. Then I added in my black hair on the portrait. AND THEN IT REALLY LOOKED LIKE ME. 

Another day we made the background. We did it with white wax crayons and we had to use white wax crayon on a white paper to draw feelings. Then we painted it with blue dye. It was hard work BUT worth it!. it looked really cool in the end.

My favorite part was drawing the hair.

One of my blurbs were "when I feel marino/calm I meditate in peace."

                                                          My Blog Profile

Hello, Kamusta. My name is Eldrich and I am 8 years old.  Also, I am Filipino but I was born in New Zealand. I have a younger brother called Ezekiel and an older sister called Francesca.

I go to Saint Patrick's School. I am in Room 6 and I am in year 4.

 At Saint Patrick's, I really like to do math especially division. During lunch breaks, I like to hangout with my friends and eat my lunch with them and play outdoor games. At school I really enjoy Art because I love drawing characters from my favourite animated cartoon shows. 

My favourite thing to do at home is to go on my device and watch Bob Ross on Twitch or play my Spider man game on my console. My favourite food to eat is Kentucky Fried Chicken with the yummy tomato sauce and the crispy, salty chips on the side.  My goal to achieve is being an artist, like Bob Ross.

Chicks in Room 6

For the last two weeks Room 6 has been lucky enough to have chicks in the classroom. They came as eggs and were put into a warm incubator before they hatched. When we saw them hatch it was so cute! They were regaining energy and on the third day WE GOT TO HOLD THEM!!! It felt weird because the feet were scratchy and they were pecking me. We had to keep them safe by not squeezing them too much or letting them fall.

They grew a bit bigger over time. and all the other children in the school got to see them too. On the last day it was so sad that the chicks had to go and three people were crying. 

Patrick’s journey

Room 1’s job was to get Patrick home but first he head to get the key from the bank.              
Patrick had to turn right ang get the key from the bank.  He then had to turn left and go past the flag. Patrick walked straight ahead and walked around the tree.  Lastly, Patrick turned right and headed towards his house.  We had to make sure we added his footprints and arrows to show direction

All about me

How Volcano Works?

In Room 2 we are interested to learn how volcano works. 
When the volcano is fully charged it is ready to erupt. Then the lava spills down the sides of the mountains like a river. It destroys everything on its way. When the lava cools down it turns into rocks. The glowing ash clouds shoot into the air. The atmosphere gets warmer. The ice melts and flows into the sea. The sea rises and the flat islands disappear into the ocean.
