Google Docs Ninja Challenge

Today we tested our computer skills with the 'Google Docs Ninja Challenge'. The Google Docs Ninja challenge was all about using our computer knowledge to complete a course that involved critical computer thinking! I made it all the way up to black belt (which took excruciating pain because I was new to using google docs). But I made it! here, I can even prove it to you!

NAVIGATING IN THE WILD

Recently, Kakapo class were learning to navigate without phones or technology inspired by the novel ‘cuz’.

We learnt to use a compass and how to determine our location as if we were lost. Now it’s time to teach you about how to use a compass (pay attention this might be important!)

Try standing with your compass in your palm at about waist height. Now, point the fixed direction-of-travel arrow at an object or landmark. Then, twist the compass housing so the compass needle lies right over the orienting arrow. Make sure that the compass needle is pointing North at the top of the housing.

And now you know how to use a compass. Being able to use a compass is a good talent to have if you enjoy hiking and being in the outdoors.

Rangiputa Beach

RANGIPUTA BEACH

Rangiputa is a lovely and beautiful place,

The beach is white and sandy with clear and blue water

perfect for a swim, I think! I also like to fish here because
the sea is abundant with fish and you’ll get loads

of great catches. Rangiputa Beach is a great place to go

rockhopping, I love to look at the amazing rockpools and

find loads of starfish and crabs with my brother!
By the beach there is a little campervan car park where you
can camp by the beach and eat what you caught that day.
This place is so special to me because of the forest tracks
and the beautiful view that makes it feel completely magical.

COLOUR RUN KAITAIA

On Friday the 26th of October, Abundant Life School,

Pompallier Catholic School and other schools as well as members of the community joined together for the first ever Kaitaia colour run. We gathered in the A&P showgrounds and ran, walked, and jogged through the streets. We ran 5km and every km we were splattered and bombarded with colourful powder! People wore white so the colour was visible on their bodies. After the big colour run the entertainers hired for the colour run started handing out prizes like stress balls(i won one), chargers, and coupons for various places in kaitaia. There was also a sausage sizzle that costed two dollars but Scott and I had no money! It really was a great fundraiser and we hope they start it up again next year!
