Hey Bloggers! How ya’ll doing? How is ya day going? Today I’m going to be telling you about my time at the Auckland Museum! Just before term 3 ended. Ms Sands gave us the notice to give us permission to come to the Auckland Museum and ride the bus there. Plus also asking if some parents could come and help with this event. Then the holidays came on. Us students and teachers got two whole weeks off and it was great! So when the 18th of October on Tuesday came around it was time to head to the Museum. We had to be at school around 8:30 am. That wasn’t a problem for most students. But some were came later than others.

There were two buses but before any of us could even get on them. The teachers had to organise the students into groups of 4. Plus since we had to keep our bags in cages we had to share our bag with at least one person. I shared my bag with somebody. Finally we hopped on the buses. On the way we were either playing hand games or talking. Once we got there we got instructions from some people who were hosting us and then we put our bags in cages like they were alive or something! After we did that we went inside the volcano room and it surprised us with the room shaking! it was so much fun and is was super cool!

After being in volcano room we went inside the Maori room to do a scavenger hunt! Then we went inside the classroom and did a few things in there. Plus after that we had some free time before we went back to the area to collect our bags. Then we went back to the school. We had a really fun time at the Auckland Museum! I hope we can go back there soon! Cya bloggers hope you’ll come back next time!

BYE!

Here is some of the work I did around this trip!

What’s up bloggers. How are ya’ll? Today I’m going to be telling you about my time at the show case of Te Waka Ako. So have you got your Hot Choc and popcorn? Okay! Let me first tell you about the how the preparation of the show case.

We had been doing the preparation for a long time. We first started the prep last term in term 2. We had to start with our first create project witch was on storms. I chose a flood for my storm. We had 1-2 weeks to look and find information and then for a week we had to make our create project. I had chosen a flood to base my creation on. Then we had to chose what our creation was going to be. I chose a collage. Before we could start our create project we had to A) Get at least 15 facts (if you are working on your own but if you are working with someone else than it is 25 facts) And B) you have to design your creation before you actually start creating it.

Most of the students finished but unfortunately some didn’t get to finished the’r amazing creations. After we finished that we were focusing on other thing like our circle art. But after a while My teachers Ms Sands, Mrs Jones and Mr Hing-Windsor, got us to us to started on our math school models. We had to do at least 3 building’s and a pool on our model.

While we were in the process of making our models we were also starting on our create project for our next Reading activity. The next one was about Natural disasters. All the students had to chose a disaster that had happened in New Zealand. After we chose what disaster we were going to do we had to complete a slideshow to gather up some facts for the create. I chose the disaster called ‘the Wahine Disaster’ and I also choose to do a Newspaper witch I finished. So then I started a painting and then I finished that aswell. So I had nothing else to do because I had also finished the slideshow about my disaster. So I spent the rest of the day help my friend Zara. who needed help finishing her model of a mining disaster.

A day before the Show case Everyone was rushing so bad because they still had so much to do! Te Waka Ako had to pick at least 2 pieces of writing. That was either free writing or something off your writing slideshow. I chose my 2 pieces from the slideshow and I was really proud of myself.

Finally the show case came that night. Me and my Mom, Tracy, Came to the Show case. My dad was meant to come but his co-worker got sick and all the work came crushing down on my dad! Poor dad! Anyways There was a a lot of food (and when I say a lot I mean like 3-4 tables of food!) so the parents could have something to eat while they look at their child’s work. It was a very exciting event. I really enjoyed it there and my friend Zara was able to come too even though she wasn’t planning to come. It was a really fun event for me and all my friends.

When we all finally got bored of hanging out with the grown ups, We all played hand ball outside while suddenly it started raining but we just played in the rain. It felt good to know that you mom felt proud of you. Anyways that’s all for now.

Bye Bloggers!

Hey there bloggers! how are ya all doing? Today I’m going to tell you all about Te Waka Ako’s circle Art! My amazing teacher Ms Sands told me and my class that we were going to do a some circle art. First we had to draw to circles one in the middle and one around the middle. in the middle we had to draw something that represents us for who we are. Of course before we could the art on the big paper we had to do a design in our

Art books. After they were approved by one of our amazing teachers, Mr Hing-Windsor, Ms Sands and Mrs Jones they would give us one big peice of paper and we could copy the design from out books to the big paper. Then after we finished transferring the design from a book to the big piece of paper we were able to start coloring it with pastel. We had to do a lot of blending. So when mine was done I was very proud of it. Even though it only took 1-2 weeks to do. But still.

While we worked on our Art pieces everyone got to laugh have fun and socialize and get to know each other better. Art was a time when everyone could be their selves. Personally I loved it! I think this experience really made an impact on me because they let us show what we love and what really matters to us!

Bye bloggers Hoped you enjoyed reading this post. Be sure to check out more of my posts, Bye!

HI there bloggers! How are you doing? Today I am going to share about writing class on Wednesday.

If you don’t know already writing class is my favourite part of the day! I just love reading and watching videos and then creating a story based on what I’ve seen and read. Plus I love it when Miss McGrath comes in and teaches writing. There just something that I love about how Miss McGrath Teaches writing it’s incredible.

Yesterday we looked at how to use take away speech marks. I know it sounds crazy, but it’s like Miss McGrath said “the language of writing is ridiculous” and I finally think she’s right. like for example

We can report what somebody says without needing to use speech marks. For example,

“I want to be a football star!” announced Paige.

becomes

Paige announced that she wanted to be a football star.

I’m going to show you the piece of writing that I made for this assignment.

so do you understand? If you don’t be sure to leave a comment if you have any questions I see if I can answer them. And tell me how your writing teacher is like.

See ya bloggers!

BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there bloggers! Welcome back to my blog! Hope your all doing well?

Today I am going to do a post on Family Fun Day! On the 11th of March today was a day were your family could come and see you do all sorts of activities but unfortunately because of covid the parents can’t come inside the school grounds. So it was more of a student fun day.

There were so many activities. There were THREE bouncy castles! One of the bouncy castles was a pirate ship ready to sail the 7 seas! There was an amazing slip and slide But it was meant to be another water slide so when you slide down you splash into freezing water! But there was a mix up with the slides and we got a nice dry one instead. To tell the truth I prefer dry inflatable slides. But the last one was a HUGE obstacle course! Cool right?

The First thing me and my class did was the pool and the slip and slide. When I hoped out of the poll and started heading up to the slip and slip a HUGE water slide at the bank (Which is very steep) it was FREEZING! I was so cold I only went one time even though it was very fun! But when I did go I had a big run up and then went the rest of the way down on my knees but the thing is……. I was going WAY faster than all the other kids so I pushed all the cushions that were meant to soften my ending and went all the way onto the grass.

After that, that’s when we went on the bouncy castles. On the obstacle course I even raced my own teacher, Ms Sands! I would like to say she won cause she is the queen of sports but………. I won. OK so any-who next was the pirate ship and the DRY slide. We could chose what we wanted to go on first on so I chose the slide first. it was so much fun but I chose to have a turn or two on the pirate ship there was a Canon (a fake one obviously)

after that we just had to go inside our class room and pack up for the day.

thank you for seeing this blog post be sure to leave a comment and see what your favourite part of the student fun day!

HI new bloggers! Welcome to my new blog! But first things first, my name is Aley! I hope you will like all my blog posts in the future.

This week in maths my class and I used Lego to solve math problems. The most hard bit about it was probably the times tables part of it. Especially because it all depended on the studs and not how many blocks there were.   Here is the slide show of what I created.

Also this week I learned id like a muscle! Me and the rest of the class started watching class dojo and one of the video’s showed that your brain is like a muscle. Plus I learned when you make mistakes that makes your brain smarter and stronger! Here is the link to the class dojo video!

Well that is all for now. Hope to see you next time!
