Wacky wheels day

Hi, bloggers on monday we had wheels day. On wheels day we had to rotate between three stations. One of the stations were the slip'n'slide and the pool. The second station was games and relaxing station , under the tree's were we got to play games like chess and  heaps more. The lucky last station was when we got to ride our wheels on the senior and middle school court. We also got to continue playing games under the tree's. Also we got to wear mufti. We had to bring a gold coin donation to fundraise for the junior school playground. The water part of the day was my favorite because we got, to go swimming and down the slip'n'slide. My least favorite part of the day was the games because we had to stay in the sun for  long but the day was still fun. Blog you later

my book review

HI, bloggers for the last couple of weeks we have been working on a book review.  Before we could get underway of starting our book review we had to chose , a book that our reading teacher picked out for us. After choosing our  book we had to do 25 minutes of reading so then we could have a part of our book review to work on. Then we had to  get our chrome books and start working on our book review.  The book that I chose was Hero, It was about a dog named Leo who dreamed of becoming a hero, until one day when  a dog named Jack Pepper ran away, Leo was also a day dreamer. Leo was daydreaming  about what happened to Jack pepper and , then remembered what he wanted to become A hero  so he went and tried to save Jack pepper. One of the activities we had to do was our favorite part.  I learnt that saving people can  be helpful and caring. I thought that  my slide wasn't really good I think maybe next time I could be more specific. I give th...

Our NEW ZEALAND JOYRNEY

Hi, bloggers this week we have been doing  a journey from the bottom of the south island to the top of the north island. We had to pretend or think that we were adults because kids are not allowed to fly by our self. On the way to the top of the north island we stopped at different place like Invercargill,Wellington and Christchurch. Each day we had a set budget of 500$. At the end of the 2 day we had to Add all the cost of how much money we spent those days .  Something I found hard was adding the gas total all up and the traveling time because it had alot of hard mathematical problems in solving, the whole thing . Something that I enjoyed was looking at all the things you can do around Nz

Our blogging connections

Hi, Bloggers yesterday in cybersmart we did a map on were we get blog comments from,and how we connect with them. What I found hard was when we had to find four ,of  other clusters from the tui mai tui atu area. It was a bit confusing a the start,but then got easier. We had 9 question which were all different, one of them were find where our family come from.  I enjoyed doing this task because it was cool looking at different places in the world or in new zealand. I liked that part when we had to go onto room seven's blog and find people from around the world that have visited our class blog. Blog you later

Cross Country

Hi, Blogger this week we had  Cross Country. We had games that we got to play in the hall and outside, while we waited for our race. My favorite part of Cross Country day was when we got to play the blindfold game. In the blindfold game we had to wear a blindfold and our partner took us around a course to find a bean bag without standing on the splats. On our Cross Country run we had to run a far distance, twice ! If we got a score card we had to go to a table and we had to give our card and name. The place I came was 6th which I was really proud of  because I tried my best. Blog you later😎

Nexus science show BY Richard and robin

Hi, Bloggers. Today we had a crazy science show in the hall. In our science show we got to learn some cool facts and tricks about science. We learnt lots of cool things about science. My favourite part was when he put a bubble over Mrs Shinn's head because she looked like a colourful person. We found out that the world's thinnest object that can be seen by a human's eye is a bubble. One thing I learnt was different names of chemicals like a polymer. Richard made a rocket by using a film canister, water and a pill chemical. The funny part about the show was when Richard put bubbles over his head.   If I could ask Richard a question I would ask him, where did you learn how to do all of these tricks? Richard had an experiment that he asked for a volunteer. Abby from room  { HAURAKI}  got chosen to be the volunteer. She held  the leaf blower while Richard  threw a map ball (a beach ball with a map on it) in the air . I wonder how he made the ...

Pepeha (manea)

Hi,Bloggers for the last couple of weeks we have been creating our Pepeha.  During the process of creating our Pepeha we had to search up tukutuku panels for our outside design. In Pepeha creating we started to ask our parents and family questions like where is my river  or  mountain. Before creating our Pepeha we had sessions to teach us some corrections of the maori pronunciation. We had a session on pronouncing sisters and brothers, older and younger in maori. The word for  older sister is tuakana and the word for older brother is tuungane. We found tukutuku  panels  we liked and tried drawing it around our Pepeha.  Thanks for reading about what we have being doing in class for the last couple of weeks   BLOG YOU LATER🔤🔯

Camp

Hi , Bloggers  for the last couple of weeks we have been  creating a  slide about information of what we have done and what we have learned on our  4 day ski trip to Mt RUAPEHU. On our ski trip we learnt different skills when using a snowboard.  One of the parts is called the nose which is the top of the snowboard . On our way to MT RUAPEHU we stopped at  different places like , E.G , Hamilton gardens , Taupo swimming  center . We stayed at the national park hotel  for our four days ski trip. I enjoyed our ski trip because we got to connect with other students that i don't always connect with at school, and also learnt new skills that i will remember for ever . A failure for me going too fast on my snowboard and getting snow in my pants and undies which was cold.  My goal on camp was to try and try again to never give up and give everything 100%.  Which my teacher was very very proud that i did. Below is my camp ...

We had different kinds of activities like { sit ups, crunches, press up position .   We had a competition at the end to test how high we can kick and how high we can jump to kick the pad . we had a practice first for about 10 minutes to get the confidence to start . At the end there were two boys versing each other max and hame . Max came first and hame came second.  I liked yesterday's session because we had the opportunity to test how high we can kick . Overall from the couple of weeks we have been doing taekwondo I feel like im getting stronger . It was hard for me to get higher then the two champions even  then a year 4 .

My favourite moment

Hi blogger, a couple of termes ago we created a tent using a different variety of materials . The materials we used where  Tooth picks  modelling clay /colour/ white              and thick white cardboard  We got to talk to a buddy about what shapes we could make a stable tent out of . Sometimes the tent kept falling but we tried our hardest make the tent stable. We tried different shapes of making it stick and join togthere . I found moulding the clay hard and trying to make it  stable because I didn't use enough clay at the start. I found trying different shapes to make a tent was a bit of a mess. I had fun moulding the clay into different sizes of balls fun and cool i liked trying my hardest to and challenging myself to design a stable tent .\ I found out that trying different shapes was easier then trying the same design again and  again . I  used triangles ,squares and circles . I liked des...
