Lockdown/Earthquake

 Kia Ora Bloggers!

Last Friday most of you might know that there was an earthquake. It happened in the east coast of the North Island. My teacher was in that area.  There were also Tsunami warnings very early in the morning at 2:00 am. I also learnt how Tsunamis occur that day. Also that day we had a syndicate meet. We all put on something fancy or freaky. Today my classroom did a brainstorm on what to put inside an emergency pack. We thought of putting in a torch, a pack of cards and other essentials. We also thought of putting in an Umbrella, Phone, Charger, Batteries and also a few books and also a blanket or pillow if it gets cold Maybe you could discuss with your families what you would put inside an emergency pack. 

I hope you enjoy reading my blog!

Here are some of the things that you could put inside an emergency bag

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.

Hope you enjoy reading my blog!

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.
