Milk monitor trip

10 milk monitors were chosen to go to Te awamutu, fonterra. One of these people was me.As we got of the bus I saw a large building.The top of the building was made of blue watery glass.As we walk in I saw what i was not expecting.A staircase was hiding a bunch of trolleys and some hay bales,but it could not hide the herd of cow balloons that were held down by party favors. The stone staircase lay dead still as we climb the staircase not really knowing what was at the top.As we near the end of the climb chatter spreads along like wild fire.  Long trestle tables lye in the room.As we sit down Claire introduces herself.Claire tells us that it is morning tea even though we just got there.There are yogurts,water and fruit.I take a water and sit back down.After morning tea we get given another band,a hat and a lanyard.The lanyard will let us get around the factory without getting thrown out. Dwan comes out and tells us what we have to do.It sounds fun(and embarrassing) We get given a number and the person with the number you were given was the person you were with.Me and Keira were with Tracy.Tracy told us that we were teaming up with another group.Luckily it was another pirongia group. Dwans group! In the other group was Isla,Lily and Lexi .We went down the stone steps to grab our trolley.I was the trolley pusher,Lily the bell ringer,Lexi and Keira the main singers.We went round the offices singing and telling them to come into the kitchen to watch our presentation.As we got into the kitchen for the first time the adults flooded into the kitchen to watch.We handed the milk out to the adults,we also handed out some milk facts. Dwan read them out the adults.Then came the best bit we played...........THE PIE FACE GAME!!!!A man came up and got a face full of cream! So did the rest of the adults.Then we had a milk folding competition.The winner got a tea voucher so did the first person who played the pie face game. At the end of the day we went up in the great glass elevator !!!
we each got a cow balloon and we went away happy and full of laughter.    


inquiry

Inquiry

Integrity games
Treaty of waitangi
Music

For inquiry we rotated from room 10 to room 9 and then to room 8.We did this for 8 week.We went on field trips to see what it was like when the Maori/ Pakeha war was happening and what mistake they made on the treaty of waitangi that ruined the hole point of the treaty.We researched went on more trips and put our information to use.We then filmed our self talking about  what we had researched.


Integrity games:We made up a game that would be fun,different and entertaining.We didn't have much time to make them up.The couldn't be the same as games we already knew. Jump,under, over find was awesome!!We didn't need to much equipment compared to other groups.The little kids loved our game,we could tell by their smiles and laughter.


Music:Playing the keyboard was fun.The guitar was even better!I loved playing the guitar strings and it was definitely harder than ukulele!
