The NED Show!

Hey bloggers!!! A few weeks ago we had a NED show that was about how to be a champion. N stands for never give up, E stands for encourage others and D stands for Do your best. It was really awesome because the person hosting was doing some of the action by doing tricks with a yo-yo. It was really cool! Lots of people went Ooh! It was free because the school that went before us payed for us by buying the yo-yo's that they were selling. I bought a yo-yo called a 'boomerang' It is one that can come up automatically. I love my yo-yo, but the negative thing about it is that it is really frustrating is that I can not do the tricks well like 'Rock the cradle'.  Did you have the NED show come it your school? If you did please tell about it and what yo-yo you got by commenting! Here are some pictures of the day, hope you enjoy!

Interland

Hey bloggers!! Today I was finishing off the Interland slide and we had to post about it. It is a game about how to be internet awesome. I really love the game because it is fun how it teach's you how to be a better person on electronic gadgets and how to keep some stuff safe. It may sound boring but it's really fun! We had to make a slide about each four games and what it teach's you. Part of the slide was easy but when I got to Reality River it was hard to describe it because it's a sort of short game. Maybe you would like to play because it's a really a great game, if you did tell me how it was by commenting! Here is the slide I made, hope you like it!

Technology

Hi guys!! For the past 3 weeks we have been doing 3 different kinds of technology. The second one was that you had to make a led light light up. It was hard but fun, the part I liked the best was when we were planning because I could think of a lot of ideas for it. The things we could use were, a pieces of tin foll, 2 pins, 1 piece of cardboard and 5 paper clips. It was a challenge for all of us because lots of people got frustrated. Here is a picture of what we made! Hope you like them, also please comment!

Cross County

Hey Bloggers! Week 2 was cross county and it was great! I love running but sometimes I hate running because when it's a huge run it's really tiring. The year 6's had to lead the games or help and encourage the younger ones to run. I was one of the people that had to help the little ones. Finally it was the year 6's turn to run. It was frighting but fun, it was about 2 Km and I came 2nd! My friend Amaya came 1st and I was happy for her. It was a great day, if you would like to see my friend's blog, click her name. Here are some pictures of the day, hope you like them and if you do please comment!

Getting ready!

Tiritiri Matangi

Bloggers hello! Last week Tiritiri Matangi is where we went. Tiritiri is a sanctuary for endemic animals like, takahe and tuatara. We first went on a bus for 15-20 minutes and then on a ferry 
for 70 minutes. 

We saw a lot of birds like the NZ wood pigeon, it was really big and fat.  It took a long time 
for us to get to the top at the light house but we made it. It was tiring walking up. 

When we got up to the top we had lunch then a scavenger hunt was what we had. After the 
scavenger hunt we asked questions about the island and animals. 

We walked down to the hill to the beach and explored till the ferry arrived. When we got in 
the ferry I was sad because I really like that island. 

I learned that there is 1% of takahe left in New Zealand and that some of the  NZ wood pigeons 
are too fat to fly that is why they don't move so much. 

I hope one day you will see the wonders of Tiritiri Matangi.

Anyway Here are some pictures of the day!

Visual Art

Hey bloggers!! For the past week we have been doing visual art on endemic animals.

1. We had to choose one animal, I chose Hector's dolphin.
2. We had to paint a piece of paper white.
3. We had to get a picture of our animal we chose and draw an outline of it in a google drawing or doc.
4. My teacher printed them off then we had to scribble an outline of it.
5. Then we had to press the printed picture on the painted page and on the other side of the scribble we used a pen to make an outline. When I pulled off the printed paper there was an outline on the painted page! (Some of it wasn't there.😋)
6. We started to draw the geometric shapes inside the shape the animal we chose.
7. After that we started to paint the picture.
8. Next we painted another layer of paint for the background. I had to do white because I had black paint on my dolphin.
9.  I did the finishing touches and then I was done!                     

It took a lot of time but I finished it. Here is a picture of it.
The part I liked about it was when we started to colour it in.
If I could change the colour I would colour it sky blue, dark blue, pink and purple.    

My teacher put a border around it so here it is🠟.

Here it is with the border.

ANZAC

Hey bloggers! This week we have been reading about ANZAC day. My class have read two books called Lest We Forget and My granddad March's on ANZAC day. For people who don't know about ANZAC day it is about the soldiers that died in world war 1 & 2. ANZAC stands for Australia and New Zealand Amy Corps. There are dawn parades at 6:00 AM, some places have noon parades because some people sleep in. After the second book we did a compare and contrast project on the two books that we read. We had to write the differences and the same things. It was easy to see the same things because they were both about ANZAC day. If you don't want to miss it next year it is on the 25th of April! Here is a picture of my work! ↓
