WEEK 7 Marshmallow Challenge

Hello,

Welcome to my blog It is week 7 and this morning we did the spaghetti marshmallow challenge I was in a group with Liam Bryn Harrison and Robby, What we had to do was we were given 20 pieces of dry spaghetti and we were given one marshmallow and about a meter of tape also had 18 minutes to complete it.  What we had to do is make a tower using all of the materials as long as the marshmallow was on the top at the end ours did very well until the end that was when suddenly we put the marshmallow on the top  when we thought that it was stable enough and tall enough we put on then we let and then it collapsed it was very disappointing but we still had fun that was the end of that. the winner was Julia, Magdelene, Mira and Sophie the high was 27cm.

Term 3 update

Hallo,

This term was FUN! we had lots of activity like market day I was with Isaac and we made over 10 dollars it was awesome. We also did maori myths and legends instead of R.E we did lots of art of myths and legends I chose to do maui and the sun. We also did a slide so i'll show it to you.

We did production I was not part of an actual scene but I was in a school dance called HEY TA! we practised for about 6 weeks practised the words and actions. Luka was the main part he was the teacher and had over 100 lines . I was happy after the play because it was nice to know Mrs Campbell wasn't as grumpy.

Thank you reading my term blog enjoy your day.

WEEK 9 UPDATE

Hello,
This week we had production it was boring but at least I brought UNO


This week I loved doing myths legends here's my Maui slide show we also made art I made an art of Maui and the sun ill tell you the story of. When the sun god Tama-Nui-te-ra rose the next morning, he was caught in the noose of rope they had made. The brothers all pulled the rope and Maui, with the magic jaw-bone of Murirangawhenua struck the sun god. Maui ordered Tama-nui-te-ra to travel more slowly across the sky and the days became longer.

 

Week 1-7 Update

Hello,

This term has been very fun so far.

We've had the disco on the 15th of August. I could not get the sleep that night I was so high on sugar!  We've also had cantamaths which was fun and we've been practicing for production. I and Bryn made a stop motion in R.E

Let's start with cantamaths it was breath taking - our team Brianna, Justin and Me came 2nd twice on the third cantamaths and the fourth cantamaths session. The questions were very hard and they were questions that I haven't seen before. I was the runner on the third cantamaths thanks to Mrs O'Neill who checked all our answers.




In R.E Room 5 have been working on parables.
A parable is a story that Jesus told to make people have a better understanding. We finished all our activities so we did a stop-motion it took us two days and we took 491 frames.

End of term reflection!!!!!

Weekly Update 6/28/19

Hello,

Welcome back to my blog! 

This week we had winter sports and have had some really fun activities!!

I have especially liked playing twister in the morning with my friends and playing in the sandpit at lunch ... all of these things were so much FUN!!!

Winter sport was so fun  because we worked as a team and won.  I think we played really well becaused we passed lots and did lots of really good plays and I got a goal it felt good!

In the sandpit we were making massive lego bricks out of sand and made an awesome castle, best lunch time ever.
                                                                                                          

                                                                                         

Weekly Sparkly Update 6/21/19

Hello,

Welcome back to my blog.

Today is Sparkle Day so leave a little sparkle wherever you go!  Today we had to dress up in something sparkly and make the day positive and to be kind.

We started in the morning where we had a mini concert and listened to the Get Your Sparkle On song and it was fun. I also have a photo that I can show you. 





















This week we've also been doing reading and I've done and book review - here it is.

The Ski Trip  By Dave Armstrong BOOK REVIEW

The ski trip is about a class that has a teacher that likes skiing and she wanted to take the class on a ski trip so they had to fundraise and earn money. What I liked about the story was that the teacher wanted to take them skiing and that they had to earn the money themselves. What I didn't like about the story was that it didn't have much pictures so I didn't get a look in my head of what it be like doing it in real life. I recommend this story for people over 8 and people who enjoy fiction books and people who like snow and skiing. I rate this story an 8 because sometimes they have one sentence with two subjects and think its in the same subject but it's a completely different.

I hope you enjoyed my blog, Happy Sparkle Day! ('-')

Weekly Update 14/6/19

Hello,

Welcome back to my blog.  This week I think was a really good week because Isaac and I are nearly finished our business plans.

I had winter sport but winter sport was not the best because we did not win but it was really fun. I think we were better on defense this week and I think we might win next if we're lucky.  Isaac and I are making pet rocks.  Some are painted, some are not.  There's going to be exclusive rocks, etc.  Bye hope you enjoyed my post.

BUSINESS PLAN

Weekly Update 10/5/19

Hello,

Welcome to my first post of term 2!

Just lately we had the cross country I really enjoyed it.

Firstly in the morning, I came to school then I unpacked my bag and got ready to leave and hop on the bus. When we arrived at the quarry we sat on the tarpaulin and waited for our race. Once our race was ready we did our stretches and lined up for the race. Mrs. Campbell said go and we all ran, in the end I came third and Liam Jones came second and Josh Ross came first.

End of Term Reflection

Hello everyone,

Today its the last of the term and I'm telling you my highlights of the term.

My first highlight was korfball. It's a really cool sport and it's lots of fun and it's like netball and basketball but mixed and really likes meeting the coaches. 

This term we also played with the spheros and experiment them I was with Liam. We were programming the sphero to go round a car mat that Mrs O'Neill had. 

We also did swimming sports this term.  Unfortunately I did not get in to zones.  In breaststroke I came last and in freestyle I got disqualified. 

We also did Caritas challenge day it was lots of fun and we got an idea of what is like in South Sudan. We had rice for lunch and we had to make shelters out of cardboard. 

My lowlights were Blake's farewell because I miss him and another one of my lowlights was Velvet and Elvis because I thought it was a little boring.
