Awesome Careers

This term we have been doing some work on careers on Wednesday afternoons. First, we did an attributes quiz to see what jobs would suit us then put those attributes into a job quiz. We then did a series of tasks about what we would like to be when we grow up and what we would need to do that job. I think I did a job. What would you like to be when you grow up?

Magnificent Maori

RIP Bob

 Hi bloggers,

Today we had to drop an egg off the stairs in our class and not let it break. To try and make it not break we had to use some materials to protect it. The materials were :

4xsheets of paper

1 meter of string

1 sheet of card

1 plastic bag

2 meters of sellotape

For our protection we wrapped the egg (who we named Bob) in paper and put him in an origami box. We then tied the plastic bag to the box to act as a parachute. We then stuffed the bag with paper and then were done.Bob the egg died and we are all depressed. Have you ever done an egg drop? If so please comment below. I appreciate your feedback.

Superb Snow

 Hi bloggers,

On the last two Fridays, we have been learning to say the weather in Maori. Then we had to go on Scratch and make an animation of people saying the weather in Te Reo.

Perilous Problem

 Hi bloggers,

This term we have been learning about keeping ourselves safe. Today we got given a comic strip depicting a problem. We then had to fill in the blank square with a picture to solve the problem. The comic I got was one of people at a disco and then some people exclude another person. I think I did a picture which sorted out the problem. Can you tell which one I did? If so please comment below. I appreciate your feedback.

Woeful Waitangi

 Hi bloggers,

In the last few weeks, we have been learning about the Treaty of Waitangi. For this task, we had to write the story of the  British arrival from the point of view of either the British or the Maori.

Wonderful Wainui

 Hi bloggers,

Last week my class went to the Wainui YMCA camp from Tuesday to Friday. We did lots of activity including kayaking, high ropes and orienteering but my favourite activity was coasteering. In coasteering, you combine climbing rocks with jumping in the ocean and swimming in it. I found it really exciting and it pushed my comfort zone.

Camp was a great experience for me and I had a lot of fun. Have you ever been to camp? If so please comment below. I appreciate your feedback.

Quirky Quotes

 Hi bloggers,

During the summer holidays, we have something called a learning slump if we don't do any work. So our teachers make us do the Summer Learning Journey to help stop the slump. For this task, I had to choose an inspirational quote and make a picture of it. I chose a Dr Seuss quote which I think has a great meaning to it. The image is from a website called Fractal Enlightenment. I think I have done a great job.

What is your favourite quote? Please comment below. I appreciate your feedback.

Inspiring Internet

 Hi bloggers,

During the summer holidays, we have something called a learning slump if we don't do any work. So our teachers make us do the Summer Learning Journey to help stop the slump. For this activity, I had to think of what 4 websites on the internet help me the most with my learning at school. I chose Youtube because I use it to find videos which help me understand the topic, I've got Google Dictionary because I look up any words that I don't know in there, Google Drive because that Is where all my school work is kept and Wikipedia because It is really helpful for research and I can find out almost anything on it. The background belongs to the Us Embassy and the logos belong to there own companies.

I think I have done a great job. What is your favourite website? Please comment below. I appreciate your feedback.

Interesting Interviews

  Hi bloggers,

During the summer holidays, we have something called a learning slump if we don't do any work. So our teachers make us do the Summer Learning Journey to help stop the slump. For this activity, I had to choose a basketballer and write down the 5 questions I would ask them if I had the chance. I chose to do my pretend interview with Michael Jordan as he is one of the most famous basketballers ever. I think I have chosen some really good questions. The image belongs to a website called The Oddysey.
