🎨Art🎨

Kia ora bloggers and teachers, today we made two different pieces of art work. One was related to Christmas and the other was a type of heart basket. For my Christmas tree we needed one pin, a Christmas tree dotted out line and then a piece of card board. First we place the doted out line of the tree and put it on the card board, if you want you can put tape or blue tack to keep it in place. Then take the pin and put on the dots and push so it goes right through. Remember to do it on the carpet not the table because it does not work. When you finished all the dots then separate the two pieces of paper and the take the cardboard on the window to see the resold. For the heart you need a page that is like the pic at the top. Then make another one and then start weaving. when you finish you can use this as an ornament or put it on your window. Thank guys for reading my blog and please don't forget to leave a comment. Blog ya later.👋😄

Hello everyone , I have done an art activity. We  had to go on to the Art coloring book website and choose an image and color it in. You can choose any piece of art work of a famous landmark like the statue of liberty. There was so many nice pieces of art work. I chose to do the statue of liberty. Can you guess which one is mine and which one is the original.

                             🎨Color Poems🎨

 Kia ora everyone, in class we have been doing color poems. We had to think of a color and make a poem. For example : Purple like the nice smelling lavender that grows in the field. Purple like the plum that I nicely peeled. We could make as many has we can think of with the rainbow colors.We had to make the last word in the second line rhyme with the last word in the fourth line. I made a lot of different poems that I hope you like. Here they are!

                               🚲Bike Skills🚲

 Aloha bloggers and teachers. On the 23rd of November we had bike skills. We got to learn how to get on and off the road safely, this is how. First stand on the foot path/ pavement with your bike in front of you then look right and left to look for car if there are no cars you can place your bike on the road, the front wheel must be in a slight angle. After that get on  your bike and look back over your right shoulder to see  if any cars are coming, when it is clear then put out your left or right hand to signal which way you are going then go. If you are going right then before you go you must put out your right hand for three seconds then look back a second time this look is called a life saver look then start peddling.  

We learnt how to play a game call The Box Game and there is another version called Turbo Box Game. The Box Game is when we ride in a box shape and the box gets smaller. If you put your foot down then you are out and if you knock into a person then you and that person is out. I won one round and came second in two. To help us balance we played another game called the Turtle Race where you have to go as slow as possible to get to the other side. We learnt how to play lots of different games to help us ride our bikes. Like Green light Red light. I learnt how to use my bike at the age of three or four.Thank you for reading my blog and please leave a comment!✌😄😎

                             🛹Skate boarding🛹

 What's up bloggers! Today we had people come over to teach us how to use a skateboard. We got two session and we learnt a few tricks like Tik-Tak, Crab walk and Carving(leaning on the skateboard to turn). We did not just talk about using skateboards we got to use them. After we learnt how to do some basic tricks we got to play What's Up Wolf. Its like playing Wolfy Wolfy what the time but on a skateboard and we did not have to ask whats the time. When the wolf turned around we had to stop if he turned and someone moved then they had to move 4 steps back. We could bring our own skateboard or use one of theirs. We played this game so we can learn how to stop on a skateboard.

 If you go skateboarding remember to use a helmet. In the second session we learnt how to do a wolly flip. The are 2 different ways 1 is when you place the sandpapered bit on your feet then do a little jump to flip the board on its wheels and land on the board. The other way to do it was to place the board with the sandpapered bit on the back of your legs then jump back. We also learnt how to properly  step on the back of the board  and catch it in your hand.Thank you so much for reading my blog and please leave a comment, bye.👋😁😎

                          Wonder project

Hello again bloggers and teachers, in Te Waka Ako we have been doing a Wonder project. In the project we have been learning about rockets and how they go higher an faster. We have also  been learning about Newton's laws. Someone named Si hang came to teach us about rockets and how we should make our own rockets. For our rockets we could add as many fins as we wanted and we got to add decoration. For the body we us a 1.5 l bottle and we could make the fins and the decorations out of cardboard or plastic. We then got to do a test flight and see what we did wrong or right and how far it went like for e.g. we could have added to much hot glue or to little. during our test flight some of our fins came off and some of the others students fins or decorations came off. it was a really fun experience and we are going to try again next week. Our rocket went 12 m. Blog ya latter.

Hello everyone, last week Tuesday,  Wednesday and Thursday we went to Rotorua for a holiday. We stayed at Twin Lake Villa's. They had double story houses, a pool, a spa, a giant chess set and they ad tennis courts. We unpacked our things on Tuesday and stayed home. The next day we had to wake up early to go the Luge. The Luge is a place where you can ride in go karts, go zip lining and there is mountain bike trails. We did the go karts and we could go three times. The first time we wet my brother and I lost control but no one got hurt and then I got the hang of it after I wen again. Once you get the hang of it, then it gets easier.When we were finished m dad took us to bubbling mud pools but this is a warning they really stink! On Thursday we made one more stop before heading home we got to see GLOW WORMS!!!We could not take any photo's inside the cave but we did get a photo. There were so many glow worms, we got to ride in a boat to go under the glow worms. They looked like stars in the night sky! We had a blast.

Jump,Jump and Jump some more

                                                                    😊😉Jump😉😊

Hello everyone last week Monday my mom took my brother and my self to jump for the first time. For those who have not been to jump before jump is a trampoline place and they also had an obstacle course, I nearly forgot that they had a foam pit but because of Covid-19 it was closed. They first told us about the safety rules then we got to jump and go on any thing except the foam pit. They had super bouncy trampolines the were next to walls. We could sit on the walls but we had to do  wall walk up. A wall walk is when you bounce once on your back and your feet face the wall the you walk up and some how sit on top?After our time was up we went to a park called water view. They had a lot of different things to play on like a climbing net, a zip line, a sand pit and swings! I had a grate time. I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday so far. By for now, stay safe.👋👍✌

Mono Print

                          🎴Mono Print🎴

 

Hello everyone, are your enjoying school? We have been doing rotations and for the rotations we have been split into two groups. In one group there was the children who wanted to do Film Festival and the other group did Art. I chose to do art, in art we were doing Mono Prints. A Mono Print is when you draw a picture and put your drawing on top of a board with ink spread all over it then place your drawing carefully on the ink board. Then take a sharp pencil and you can not put your hand down on the page or else you will get your hand print when you get a sharp pencil then draw over all the lines and when you are finished carefully peal the page toward you from the top two corners. then you should get your picture on the other side. Do you know why it is called a mono print and not just a print? Mono means one so a mono print is one print. Although it is a mono print we got to do two prints, some people got to do three prints.

Art

                                                                       Hand Art


Do you know what hand art is? Hand art is when you put you hand in a pacific shape and draw around  your hand and make an animal. Sometimes you can see the shape of the hand and sometimes you can not. I learnt how to do this on 5 minute crafts. I like this way of doing art because it can help you draw almost any animal. It is a really fun thing to do when you are bored and also just for fun. You can maybe fold the page in half then do you picture close or on the fold and cut it out to make a birthday card or any type of card. Enjoy doing this and have fun. By bloggers.

Hello everyone we are once again in lockdown. But do not think this is bad because we have been in lockdown before. Today my blog post is about some of the things I did during the past few days. I started the google calls with my teacher and class mates on Tuesday the 18th of August. On Tuesday I found an hour of code. I did not know what it was but I tried it out and it was really fun.I learnt to code and I made a dance party, here is the (Link).  I am glad that google meets are a thing or else we wouldn't get to see our teacher and classmates.  We have lots of things to do on our syndicate site and we can do them all!! We have a slide show called Lockdown Creations Term 3 Week 5.  I am also looking froward to doing google meets for our production practice. I have done lots of things during the past few days like kahoots for maths, figuring out the Dewey system and coding. I hope you liked my blog and I will blog again soon!!👋😎

Matariki

                                                               😆😎Matariki day😎😆

Yay Matariki was so much fun. Kia ora every one, for those who don't know what Matariki it is celebrating the Maori new year. Matariki was on the 23rd of July.To celebrate the Maori new year we made kites (manu tukutuku), Maori read and a stop motion about how Matariki started at Waikowhai Primary School in Te Waka Ako. This is my first Matariki and I had lodes of fun and learnt new things like how to make Maori bread and it tasted delicious. We did all of this in three session in the first session we made kites but they do not fly we also had to group up and make it together. In the second session we made Maori bread in a group and last we made a stop motion on how Matariki started. My favorite part was making kites. We made them out of three sticks, paper, string and feathers. Here is the link to my stop motion link. If you want to make Maori bread you will need 3 and a half cups of flour and some water. Here are pictures of the day.

Cross Country

                                                          🏁🎽🏃Cross country🏁🎽🏃

     If you love running or run really fast then cross country is for you, kia ora everyone yesterday the 2ND of  July it was Cross country for Waikowhai primary School. Wow!I'm exhausted, for cross country the year sixes had to do some  activities with the different year groups. We were split into 6 stations to do   activities with the different year groups. I was in station 2 we did warm ups for the run, played duck duck goose and cheered the people that were racing. They were really fast, and so was I !!!!WE had to do a big loop around the school, the year sixes ran last. I liked that the games and warm ups were really fun. The thing I did not like at all was that the year sixes had to run two laps around the whole school. Then some of our parents came and had lunch with us, my mum and dad came and we had pizza for lunch.

Maths

                                                                               +- Maths -+

Hello bloggers for maths we did rotation.  First we drew a shape in our books and did all our planning in it. then we copied our drawing on a small piece of cardboard and cut it out then got a bigger piece of cardboard and folded it to make four squares.  After that we traced in on one square and rotated it and colored it in.There were so many different drawings and this one is mine.

Toolkits

                                                                       😄😉Toolkits😉😄


On Thursday the 18th of June we had an Ako hiko toolkit. If you do not know what a toolkit is it is where different students from different schools meet and learn how to do new things like how to fly a drone, how to use word art and so much more!! It is so much fun and it is also exciting😆😎. But since we have Covid - 19 we had google meets. We had to sign up for different things like digital self portrait, audio books, word art and so much more. I signed up for word art, digital self portrait and Incredibox. My favorite apps are word art and Incredibox in word art you can choose three or more words, choose your font and color of the words and last choose you picture. In Incredibox you can listen and make music.

Reading activity

                                                              📗📘📙Reading activity📙📘📗


This week for reading we read a story called "We can learn from the # black lives matter movement". It is about other people being racist and people being killed because of their color. Like how George Floyd was killed by a police officer and so many more people were killed just because of their skin color. I think that it does not matter if your skin is a different color to other people. Just because your skin color is different to other people it does not mean you can not play with them, sit with them, be their friend or eat with them.

Lockdown dairy

                                                                     Lockdown dairy


Kia ora every body  today my blog is about lockdown. Did you know school ended on the 24th March and lockdown started on the 26th March 2020. Do you know why we went into lockdown?? We went into lockdown because of Coranavirus/Covid-19, a disease that is still traveling the world. At the beginning of lockdown we where in level 3 for 2 days, then level 4 for 4 and a half weeks. We could not go and visit our families or friends during level 4. But in level 3 we could see a few of our family and friends.

During lockdown I had online calls with my teacher and class mates, I also had a lockdown dairy where I put my school work in during lockdown. I really liked that we could choose from eight tasks for our school work!!! During our online classes we did kahoots. If you have never heard of a kahoot this is what a kahoot is. Kahoots are a quiz, for an example there are kahoots about holidays or about lockdown and you have to choose from a few different answers. In my bubble I was with my mom,dad and brother. My dad worked from home and he works for BP. My mom made us our own put put course. Lockdown had a lot of changes and some were good but others were bad.

It may have taken a while but it was worth the time we had a blast making it,  but it  was even more fun playing the game. Bye for now.

Swimming at Cameron Pools

                                                           😀Swimming!😉




We have been going to  Cameron Pools for swimming. I recently found out that I might go in to zone swimming. I have been practicing so I think I have a fair chance to swim for zone's. We do a lot of laps in the pools so we get really tired but it is really fun.  I think I am a good swimmer and I really enjoy it a lot. When I swim I feel like a fish in the water, but a fish with out gills. 

Welcome to 2020

                                       Hey this is my first blog for 2020!😁😛

Hello this is my first time making a blog and this one is about my getting to know you form. I think it is amazing, it was a little tricky. I also think that it was hard because this is my  first time using a chrome book. I really enjoyed doing it in class even though I had to think a lot! I like the idea of a  getting to know you form this way you can share info about your self with other people.
