Summer Learning Journey Week One Day 4

Activity 1: The Waiata - A Song in Your Heart

My cousin Deyne performed in Matatini this year. She performed for Te Whanau-a-Apanui. They got into the finals. Here is a picture of her and her boyfriend in their kapahaka uniform.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 2

Bonus Activity: Here is my task today about my favourite meal.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Task 1 / Bonus Task

Today I read a short story about a famous man in Māori mythology – Maui.
Here is three facts that Ilearned about this interesting man.

Maui was sneaky because he snuck onto the waka.
Maui is a great fisherman.
He never stopped trying.

Other stories I have heard with Maui in it: 
Maui and the Sun - Maui pushed the sun up into the sky.
How Maui slowed the sun

Maui is on the movie Moana.


BONUS TASK - Waka Ama

I wouldn't like to do Waka Ama because it looks hard.
My dad did Waka Ama when he was young and competed for New Zealand in Fiji.

My progress 2017

Here is the progress I have made this year. I think I have made the most progress in spelling.

no girls allowed

During the ancient Olympic Games, men were allowed to compete in the events but women were not. In fact, women were often forbidden from even watching the games. In your opinion, is this a fair rule? Why or why not? On your blog please tell us what you think about this interesting rule.


I think this is not a fair rule. Women should be allowed in the Olympics.
It is mean because girl's wont be allowed to watch the games in the Olympics. Anyone should be able to watch the games and cheer for their country.
Women are just as good as men. Everyone can play sports.

Robot

We have been using robots and using code to get them to move. They are fun to play with. We had a lot of fun with Dash. Dash can walk and dance. I wrote a poem about Dash.

Pet Day

Yesterday we made vaseline saucers. I used petals to make it.                                                                                                                                   
For Pet Day I made a miniature garden and some animal cupcakes. I also brought a sheep named Poppa. I had to walk it around the ring for the judges.

This is my miniature garden.

Walking Poppa

These are mu cupcakes - two pigs and two sheep.

 

Handwriting term 3

I am good at copying correctly.

I am good at my words.

I need to work on forming my letters correctly.

 

Garden to Table

We have started Garden to Table every Friday.

Today in Garden to Table we planted little plants and we planted peas and corn. 

Last week I was in the Kitchen. We baked herb scones and then we put them in the oven to cook. 

At the end we get to eat what we have made. I loved the taste of the scones.

Hot Air Balloon Art

For Art we  created  hot air Balloons. We used pastel for the background.We used dye and black PVA

glue for the Balloon.We weaved the basket. My favourite part was painting the balloon with dye and doing the black PVA.

 

Skittles Experience

We have been learning to use better sentence starters and write juicy sentences. Here is my writing on our Skittles experience. We used a bag of Skittles and poured water over them in the plate and we watched what happened .

Collaborative bird wings

We made some collaborative bird wings. We each made feathers to put together to make the 

wings.

1. We made chalk patterns on the feathers.

2. We used white crayon over the chalk.

3. We used dye to colour the feathers we chose complimentary colours. 

Measuremet

For math we have learnt about measurement. I learnt about Finding Perimeter. I have created a video to explain about how to find the perimeter of a shape.

My kite

We made kites from flax sticks and plastic bags. After we made them we flew them on the field. Our kite flew very well. After flying kites we wrote a poem.

Science Fair

We have been learning to complete Science Investigations. We learnt about parachutes.I worked with Heidi and Ricci-Lee.

We also had to create a google slide of our Science Investigation.

Dr . Seuss day

 Dr . Seuss Day
Today at school we had Dr Seuss Day. I came dressed as Thing 2 and my mum was Thing 1.
We had to choose a quote and create an image to go with it.

Handwriting Term 2

Here is my Handwriting from Term 2. I am good at copying correctly.  I need to work on making all my letters an even size. My handwriting is much tidier than term one.

All Creatures Great and Small

Here is my topic slide on all creatures great and small. I chose to do Turtles

Fractions

We have been leaning about fractions in maths. A fraction is when you split a shape into equal parts such as split your shape in half. A fraction can be part of a number.
Here is my fractions assessment.

paper spinner

We made paper spinners for maths. We had to use our fraction and shape knowledge to help us fold our spinner. We decorated our spinner with patterns and colours. We battled our spinner with a friend. My spinner worked well. I need to add more colours to it.

Crazy critters cooking convention

Here is the video of the book we created.

Reflect, Rotate and Translate

This is a drawing I created out of shapes to show reflect, rotate and translate.

Pepetuna Art

Meerkats Report

Leaves Writing

We went for a walk around the school and collected leaves. We wrote a poem about leaves.

Silly sentences

We have been  learning how to write correct sentences.
A sentence makes sense on it's own and usually has one simple idea or piece of information.
A simple sentence needs a subject and a verb. It needs a capital letter and full stop.
We wrote silly sentences then chose our favourite one to illustrate.

The kea swam in the sea.

The hippopotamus paddled into the bag of chips.

The goat shot a bullet on a playground.

The kiwi swam in the fridge.

The kiwi swam in the swimming pool.

My basic facts results

Holiday Recount

Here is my recount about the Holiday.

Touch a Truck Show

Bang! Crash! The grader went.  We went to the touch a truck show at Hurapaki school in Whangarei. When JJ turned up Haki and I got a sherbet ice cream. Then we watched the fire demonstration.  It was cool.  They put the oil fire out with water. Never put water on the stove fire because it will go everywhere. You use a pot lid as that’s how you put out a fire. Then we had lunch then we went home.

In the Beginning

In the beginning Rangi and Papa were stuck together. The kids were cramped. The kid's decided to push their parents away from each other. The gods were free. I painted Tane Mahuta the God of the Forest. He pushed his parents apart with his legs.

Easter bunny Art

We used marbling to create our background. Then we made patterns using sharpie on our rabbit. We added some whiskers and glasses. Here is my bunny.

Handwriting Term 1

Here is my handwriting sample for Term 1.

I am good at coping correctly.
I need to work on my size.

Triathlon

Here is my recount about the Triathlon.

Triathlon

“Yah! It is our turn,” said room 1 and 2! We are going swimming. When Mrs Henderson said, “go!”  we swam two lengths of the cold pool. We quickly put our helmets on then I walked my bike out to Mrs Craig.  I jumped on my bike. I raced down Mr Lawrence’s driveway!  I came biking around the track. I hopped off my bike and ran around the field.
