Hi Bloggers,
This week Paterson class has been looking at the Tokyo 2020 olympics. We have been looking at some NZ athletes, I have been looking at Sarah Hirini. I found some information about her during the Olympics, like what sport she plays and more.
Sarah Hirini
- Sarah Hirini plays for NZ womens rugby union.
- She has a total of 1 olympic medal which is a gold medal.
She has played 200 matches in the world.
She has shown resilience by trying her best and getting back up when she's injured.
She has shown excellence by supporting the other team when they score a try.
She's shown respect by respecting the NZ flag and showing that she's proud to play for NZ.
She has shown friendship by being a supportive friend to her teammates and keeps cheering them on even if they lose or win.

Our Tokyo Olympics Trip
Konichiwa Bloggers,
Today Paterson class went to visit a NZ Olympian (Debbie Tanner) . We were asking her questions like how she felt well doing the sport she was doing was Running, Swimming and Cycling which was called Triathlon, and another question was how much NZ Olympians went to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics,
and she said 211 NZ athletes went. When we finished asking the questions she said for us to go to the left side of the room, because there was also another school there to.
When we got to the other side of the room the first thing or mini game I went to was trying to balance on a beam with springs under them, down below is a picture of me doing and I succeeded! to make it across the beam. That was my Favourite game to do!.
What I enjoyed was standing on the podium with a bow like an bow and arrow but there was no arrow. I was always standing on the 2nd place podium because people would be fighting on the 1st podium,
and no one was on the 3rd podium and the 2nd podium, so I decided to go on the 2nd podium. When people left the 1st podium and it was empty I'd go on the podium and aim at the wall.
Something I learnt was:
- That some NZ athletes have a balanced diet (like eating weetbix)
- The values: Excellence,Respect and Friendship
- That when you come last someone has to come last and you learn from them and do better next time.
- Debbie Tanner has completed and earned 20 of silver medals and has won 1st many times.

Waka description
Talofa lava, Bloggers
For the last few weeks paterson class has been learning about wayfinding navigation and waka. Yesterday I was making a Waka Hourua. Here's what it looks like.
One of the features of my waka hourua is a small round hut, it's a small storage and equipment room. For my hulls, they are going to be triangular. My sails are made out of flax (or in other words harakeke te reo maori). My wood is made out of totara wood. I chose it because it's sturdy and doesn't grow mold on it.
My job is to be a Cook chef, it means that I teach the crew how to cook.
