Camp Reflection

 I.A.L.T  upload my camp reflection to my blog and write about it

My whole class and I went to camp last week on Wednesday and I enjoyed it very much. The reason we went there, so we could have fun and have an opportunity to learn how to kayak., One of my favourite things to do at camp was sleeping. Today for blogging we had to do a reflection of our camp and here is my reflection...

Also, whenever you get stuck with something, just sing this song because I did it and it helped. Just keep trying, Just keep trying.

Have you ever been to Aroha Island before and if you have, what did you do there? 

Kiwiana art

 I.A.L.T upload my work from this week toy my blog and write about it

Today for blogging I am uploading my Kiwiana art. Kiwiana art is when you pick something native to New Zealand like Pies, Pack n Save and other things. For my kiwiana art I choose a tomato , pie, chocolate fish and a soup bar. How we made our Kiwiana was to take a paper and fold it into 4 squares and then draw your 4 things native to New Zealand on each of the 4 squares and the go over your drawing with a sharpie. Next you have to colour in your pictures and the background and this is how it's suppose to look like... 

I really enjoyed colouring my pictures and background in because colouring for me is really fun. 

I learned to draw pies because it took me ages to draw the pie. 

I could improve on by taking my time and not rushing. 

Have you ever done Kiwiana before and if you did, what did you draw? 

Maitai Bay Brochure

I.A.L.T upload my learning task to my blog and write about it 

Today for blogging we are uploading what we did last week. We made a Maitai Bay Broshure. We also had buddies and mine was Brooke. We worked really well and I enjoyed doing the Maitai Bay Brochure. We had to answer some questions about Maitai Bay and the Rahui. We added pictures of fish and how Maitai Bay looks like on our Brochure. We also wrote the types of fish you can see at Maitai Bay and so on. Here is a picture of our Brochure...

I learned about the types of fish there where on Maitai Bay

I found it challenging doing the Rahui because I did not know what a Rahui was at first

I could improve on by spending more time on my brochure

Have you been to Maitai Bay?

Kiwi Can

 I.A.L.T upload a post showing what we learnt in Kiwi Can today

Today we had Kiwi Can and I had a great time. We are learning about Respect and treating people the way I wanted to be treated. We played two games, the first one was called Snap, Crackle and Pop. To play Snap, Crackle and Pop, you need to get in a group with three people. One of you are called Snap, the other Crackle and the last one is called Pop. After you get into a group and name yourself, you and all the other teams who is also in a group with three people and named yourself, you all get into a circle standing next to your group and then, one person yells out Snap, which means that the person who is called Snap has in the group has to run around the entire circle. Pop and Crackle has to hold each others leg, but only one leg and when Snap has ran around the circle they have to go back to where they started running and go under Pop and Crackles legs and in the middle you can put a shoe and the first person who gets the shoe wins a point for their team. Our Catchphrase is 'We respect our school, we will do it, because we are cool'

Here is a picture...

I was being respectful by not talking over anyone and I think no one actually talked over anyone at all.

I enjoyed play Snap, Crackle and Pop because it was fun running around the circle.

I could improve on trying a little bit more and pushing myself.

Do you have Kiwi can and if you do, what did you do for Kiwi Can?

Swimming lesson

Today for blogging we had to upload what we did yesterday. Yesterday we went on a trip to learn snorkelling. We went to Te Punawai-ora pools to learn snorkelling. Next week on Tuesday we are going to the real ocean to practice snorkelling there. At Te Punawai-ora pool we put on wet suits, flippers and mask. We had to get in buddies. We all had to sit at the end of the pool with our buddies and put our mask and flippers on. We all got a board then we all got in. We first tested our mask to make sure no water comes in and then, one by one, each person with their buddy got called up with their board and had to hold on the end of the board and swam around the pool with our heads under the water. We went twice around the whole pool. Then we also had to swim under a hoop and after that you and your buddy had to swim to the other side of the pool and then we had to get out and get changed again. Here is a photo of...

I learned that wet suits are actually really tricky to put on and take off,.

I also really enjoyed going through the hoop because I like going through things and also going under water.

My goal is to not be afraid to go to the deep side because I am not that confident swimming in deep water.

Have you ever been snorkelling or been to Te Punawai-ora pools before? 

Waitangi treaty grounds

 I.A.L.T upload what we did for waitangi and write about it

Today for blogging we had to upload what we did on Tuesday. On Tuesday we went to waitangi, where we learned to do cool stuff with scratch. Monica and Katelyn were two of the people who taught us. We also got a tour around waitangi and we saw canoes, the were made out of an old tree stump. We got to stand and sit on the tree stamp. We also went to the museum and saw pictures about people signing the treaty of waitangi. We had to get into buddies and at school we made a symbol of something that represents our family and I did mountains. Anyway, me and Peyton were buddies and on scratch we had to draw our symbol and get a character and we had to make the character move to the other side and explain what the symbol is and why it's important. We went onto scratch and got a background and a character. Here is a picture of waitangi...

I really enjoyed learning about scratch because now I know more about scratch for example, that you can draw stuff on the screen and insert it into your animation. 

I found interesting that you get to see the tree stump with the canoes.  

Have you been to waitangi before? What did you see?

Math task

 I.A.L.T uplaod our math task of today and write about it.

Today for maths we did something called Sudoku. You get a worksheet and on the worksheet you get a box and there are other tiny boxes in the big box and there are numbers in the tiny boxes, but sometimes there aren't any numbers in some of the tiny boxes. Then you have to figure out what numbers should go into the boxes. On the worksheet there is usually like 4x4 or 5x5 and that means that the only numbers on the worksheet will be up to 4 or 5.  It's like a puzzle you need to solve, all the boxes should have the same numbers but each row and column and box have to contain all the numbers.

Here is a photo of how it should look like...

I enjoyed writing the answers because it was tricky, but sometimes it was easy too.

I found it interesting how it was actually fun because I find most math task boring. 

Have you done this before?
