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.

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

📗📘📙Reading Activitys📙📘📗

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.
