Whetu Fun day!!

 Whetu Fun Day

Last Thursday we had a Whetu Fun Day as our camp was postponed.  Our teachers planned a fun day for us instead!  We participated in a Whetu Amazing Race, a range of different fun rotations, a BBQ lunch and play on the council playground then we finished the day with an Easter Egg hunt and an ice block.

My favourite part of the Amazing Race was running around Ngatea and it was really hot and we didn't have our drink bottles so our coach Nicole got us 2 bottles of cold water from the four square while we were doing a task.

The rotation I enjoyed the most was the stem challenge because we had to make a costume and Emily was our model. Everyone in our group made something to go on the costume and it was a little bit funny making the headband with bunny ears because we had 1 meter of tape and we used most of it on the outfit.

During the Easter Egg Hunt, I found my stick in the little trees out on the field in the black weed mat stuff. Then we had to take it bake and swap it for an ice block and an easter egg.

The people in my group was Me, Chrysler, Maia, Emily, Jasmine and Pippa. and our coach was, NICOLE!!!!

Play, Make, Create

This week for Play make Create the topic was. CAMP. I and Chrysler did a campground. We used the hot glue gun but the glue sticks ran out so we had to find another way to stick all the things on. It was really weird to just have a one-word topic and

create something to do with that one word. 

Maths mystery

 

This morning we did a maths mystery. On the first question, I and Chrysler mucked it up and put plastic instead of metal. I thought that it was a little bit easy and a little bit hard. 

Play, Make and Create

Today we did Play, Make,  Create.  Our story that it was based on was. Giraffes can't dance. I did a watercolour painting, with the moon in the background and the giraffe in the moon. I blended all different blues together to make it look a little prettier. My favourite part was drawing the giraffe because it was really challenging to do. I think it is a super over because I blended all different blues together.

 

GRUFFALO!!!!! Play,Make,Create.

This is what I did for my Gruffalo, Play, Make and Create. I did a map. I was going to do his house but then last week I did that for the hungry caterpillar. I started to rule the path and then I added a little drawing of where the little mouse went to. I put sellotape on the lake and the stream to make it feel rough and make it look realistic. I put the Gruffalo in every picture. In the end, it looked kinda plain so I put some dirt on the path way. I think its a SUPERNOVA! 
 

Week 5, Term 1, 2021

 Monday was our school Swimming Sports. On the day I think I did 1 length freestyle 1 length breaststroke and 1 length backstroke. I think I did good and will be better next year.

We had two art sessions this week and I have managed to do 4 strips of material and paper. I wasn't here to do the last one we did. I have done eagle eyes for my art. I am doing art with Miss Mac.

In reading this week we have been introduced to a book called Gorges Marvellous Medicine. It is a really good book. We are reading it Fred the moth (the best homeroom ever).

Part of our maths programme is NumBots and I think I am doing good because I am up chrome. It started off how many cogs and that was really easy but now it is getting harder. My goal is to be able to do more challenges.

Week 4, Term 1, 2021

 The most interesting/fun thing we have done during class time this week is creating our stars. My dad came to help me, He cut all the photos out and I glued them in.

We started our art this week and I have chosen to do art with Miss Mac. Our art is going to be colourful and amazing, I'm doing eagle eyes because they looked cool.

We created our Whetū stars on Thursday and they look really cool, there going to look cooler when they get put up on the wall.

Next week we have our school swimming sports. I am feeling confident, nerves and happy because I can dive now. Last year I couldn’t but this year I can. I'm going to do 1 length freestyle 1 length breaststroke and give 1 length at backstroke.
