Christmas Art

 Christmas Art

Today we did some Christmas art. It was very fun we did some heart weaving and some Christmas trees dot Art. First we did the Christmas trees. We made them by using pins, a Christmas tree with dots and some Card. First we lined the paper with the tree on it with dots and the card and then we poke holes with pin along the dotted line and we had to do it on carpet not hard services. Then we put it up to the window and then the tree sort of lights a up. The next Art activity we did was a little woven heart basket. It is a little hard to explain but it was very fun. We also did some Christmas cards and also used a Christmas collar this one is also a little hard to explain, but was also very fun.

Skateboarding 2020

 Kia Ora bloggers!

This term we are starting to do skateboarding! Our first lesson was today and it was very fun. Then we have another session later on .We learnt a lot of new tricks and got to try some. We also played a game called Whats up wolf pack? That game was very fun. We had 2 coaches, their names were Ben and Lawrence. 

One of the tricks we learnt was the crab walk we had to put one foot down on one side and then put the other foot down on the other side and then we had to try to do the crab walk. We also got put into 2 groups. I was in the group that Ben was teaching. We got to learn how to do flips on the skateboard and some other fun stuff. We also learnt parts of the skateboard. The top of the skateboard was the nose and the bottom of the skateboard was called the tail. The group that I was in got to learn really cool tricks. 

I loved playing that game called Whats up wolf pack? Its kind of like Red light Green light but we use skateboards and its called Whats up Wolf pack? It was really fun. I really like doing skateboard sessions at school because its fun and I get to learn something new.

Production - Jasmine and Aladdin

 Kia Ora Bloggers!,

Two weeks ago we had our production! It was really fun and very exciting. Our production was called Jasmine and Aladdin!  It was on the 4th, 5th and 6th of November. We had to do thirteen rehearsals and some we had to do over lockdown. The costumes were a bit comfortable and a bit itchy. Overall the costumes looked nice. We had the production at Waikowhai intermediate Hall. I was a dancer and doing the dance was fun. On Monday  ( in the week of production) the year 5's and 6's, (I am a year 5 so I went and rehearsed) went and rehearsed at Waikowhai Intermediate Hall. On Tuesday the whole school went and rehearsed. On Wednesday we went in the morning (The production was on that day). We had a dress rehearsal and some classes from Waikowhai Intermediate and Hay Park School came to watch. 

Then on the night we did the actual performance. It was very exciting but also everyone was kind of nervous. My Dad came and watched on the first night. Then my family came and watched on Thursday and they thought the production was tiring and AWESOME!. Then on Friday my Mum came and watched the production. I liked that my family came and watched me and my sister do the production. 

After the first performance we did the same performance on Thursday and Friday. The Friday one was in the morning so we had to walk from school down to Waikowhai Intermediate. The Thursday performance was like the Wednesday one.

Wonder project - Rocket challenge

 Kia Ora Bloggers!,

This term and last term we have been doing the WONDER Project (Rocket challenge). In case you don't know what the Wonder Project is it is a challenge where you make rockets out of fizzy drink bottles and you use water or air pressure to launch them. It has been fun doing the wonder project, we do it every Wednesday. On Thursday this week we did our last test flights. Our Ambassadors are Sihang and Melissa. Sihang is the Ambassador for my 2 classrooms that are doing it together (Hauraki and Manakau). Melissa is the Ambassador for another classroom ( Waitemata ). We made the rockets out of 1.5 litre fizzy bottles. We made the fins and the cones out of paper and cardboard. I had 5 people in my group. There were 3 boys and 2 girls. My group went first to do the final test flight, our fins came off when we launched it. We had to record `the water level, air pressure and how far it went. For the water level we did 350 and the air pressure 60. It went 4.8 feet or meters.

Art - Mono print and Tongan tapa

😊Kia Ora Bloggers😊,

This week we have been doing some mono print and some Tongan tapa art. Doing the Art was very fun. For the mono print art first we had to explore Maori patterns then choose to draw an animal then  once you finished drawing it you have to put patterns into it. Then you use printing ink and roll it onto a board and then you put your drawn animal and put it on the board and then you draw over the lines again and you have to put pressure on it so that when you take it out you can see the lines clearly. Once you've done that you take it off and then your done. You can add pastels if you want just don't add to much colour. For the Tongan tapa art you had to explore Tongan pattern and the get a 20x20 brown piece of paper and fold it into quarters. Then with your vivid you draw a Tongan pattern in each square put newspaper under it so that the vivid doesn't leak through the paper and onto the table. I didn't do any because I had to do my mono print.

Saturday Netball

Kia Ora Bloggers,

Last Saturday the Seniors had a Netball game. It was very fun but also tiring too . There were two teams. The teams were called Stars and Magic. So in the teams there were year 5's and year 6's. In the Stars team there was mostly Year 6's and in the Magic team there were mostly years  5's and a few year 6's. Last Saturday my team (Magic) played against Halsey Drive. It was a good game, even though we didn't win I still enjoyed it. My Dad and brother came to the game, my Mum couldn't come because she had to work and my Sister didn't come because it was to windy, my Aunty's and Uncles and my cousin also came to my game.  After the game we got lollies and my brother also got some too. The lollies were delicious.

Matariki

Kia Ora Bloggers

On Thursday the 23rd of July, we had a Matariki Celebration in our classrooms. We celebrated by doing rotations and learning about Matariki. In the first rotation we got to make kites. It was fun making the kites. Then in the second rotation we were making Maori bread, it is also called fried bread. It was very delicious and also fun and easy to make, We used Self - Raising Flour and water. and then fried and and I ate it with Golden syrup. Everybody else ate it with butter and maybe Jam, Hazelnut butter or The Golden Syrup, I ate it without the butter because I'm allergic to butter, It was still really delicious. In the third rotation we had to make a Stop Motion video about Matariki and how it got there.It was fun making the stop motions because we got to use clay and play - doh to make different characters and other objects for our stop motion videos.

Cross Country

😃Kia Ora Bloggers😃

On Thursday the 2nd of July in school we had a Cross Country. It was really fun. We had to do activities and there were different stations to do the activities. There was this one station where we could relax and play on the playground and also play with other stuff like giant chess and checkers. Now I am going to tell  you what the activities were called Tennis, Handball and a blindfolded game then there was the run it was really tiring. The activities were really fun. On the run we had to do 2 laps across the whole field and then behind some stuff and then you'll hear people cheering you on and then you have to do it one more time and then if your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th you would get a card that will say what place you came in, only 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th would get a card. Something that I didn't like about the Cross Country is that  I got really tired and the run was also very tiring. Something I liked about the Cross Country is that my family got to watch me do the activities and the Cross Country and also I got to do it with my friends.

Reading Activity

Kia ora bloggers I am going to be blogging about reading this week we have been reading an article about the protesting around the world. It has been interesting but also sad in another way. The activity I did about a book called BeingKiwi, I did a kahoot about it but I'm still working on it. Making a Kahoot is really fun.

In reading we can choose something to do from a reading tumble. A reading tumble is where the teachers put some stuff up on the reading part on the syndicate site and we have to choose one thing to do each day.

Creative Writing

😃Kia Ora Bloggers😃

In school we have been working on this document that is called creative writing.We have been working on this document for about a week. I was writing about two siblings that live on there own without parents. The reason why I chose to write about this is because when we were writing about this we had to choose a picture and use our imagination and write about it and also because I  really liked the picture and I had already thought about what could be in my story. The main characters are the brother and sister ( There names are Micheal and Emma). I haven't finished it yet but enjoy reading what I have written.

In New Zealand on the 24th of March we  went into level 3 which was 2 days of lockdown and then on the 26th of March we all went  into a full lockdown which was level 4. New Zealand has been in lockdown for about 4  1/2 weeks and then on the 3rd of May we went back into level 3 where we could only travel in our local areas then when it was the 18th of May we went into level 2 where we could go back to school and go more places. I was excited to go back at school. During lockdown we had to do most of our school work online.
It was fun to do school work online. We did most of our school work on this slide called a Lockdown Diary, it is where we could do one slide everyday. Enjoy reading blog

The seniors go to the main pool and the middle school and some of the seniors go to the small pool. One of the swimming lessons we had to wear life jackets and we had to jump into the pool with the life jackets and then float on our backs then swim to another person and make a group of six and make a huddle then everybody had to huddle in one big group then we had to make a big train and then we had one person stand in the middle of three or four people making that person warm by huddling around that person. It was fun during swimming at Cameron pools hope you enjoy reading my blog post.
