 Kia Ora Bloggers!,

Today we a did a summer learning journey teaser activity. The summer learning journey is a variety of online activities that helps you with your learning and is something you can do over the holidays. You can also earn points for the activities that you complete. We used a digital Art coloring book and we had to choose a famous picture and  try and  remake it using Google Art. I'm looking forward to participating in the Summer Learning Journey .Can you tell which one is mine and which one is the original?

 Kia Ora Bloggers,

Last week we did a Lego workshop, it was also called The Brick Pit. It was very fun and we got to build a lot of stuff. The theme was on space. We got to build spaceships, landscapes ,planets and more.We had to be in groups of 4. I had my friends in my group. First my group got to build planets, we built Earth and Saturn. Then we got to build landscapes I built some sort of rock wall and it was very fun. Then we got to make stars, that was fun too and a bit hard to make. Then we got to go to other tables and build other stuff I decided to make a little spaceship. The other thing that we got to build was a little tool workshop.

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.

Hope you enjoyed reading my blog.
