Te Reo Maori

Last week my class was practicing our te reo maori because some of us were not the best at pronouncing our maori words. I was one of them. Our teacher had this big book that you would normally see when you where little and went through all the words with us. We also had groups with 2 or 3 people in them to practice the words together. We have been doing this every day for about a week now and I’m now much more confident with te reo maori. Does your class do maori practice?    

Hardcore Fitness

This week my class has been doing fitness to get fit for cross country. Half the class would go outside onto the field or the court and then the other half would stay inside doing work and we would rotate after about 20 minutes. We had to do crab walks, mountain climbers, high knees (after 10 high knees we had to do 2 push ups) I think push ups, squat jumps, and if we had time we play a game. I think I could work on my crab walks I’m not the best at those because I keep falling over and bumping into Gail, (Gail is a friend of mine.) g I’m good at the other things, although I get kinda tired after about one or to minutes of fitness. Do you do fitness at your school? 

Dashing Fast 5 Netball

On Tuesday our class played fast five netball. This was a game that we had played before so most of us knew how to play. It is very unlike me to like a sport such as this but apparently the teachers caught me smiling so that was a bonus. I’m not really that sure why I liked playing fast five netball but  I did for some reason. I didn’t actually get to throw the ball or hold it, I kinda just walked around following the group. Maybe next time could try to catch the ball. Have you played fast five netball before?

Gingery Math Eyes

This week my class used our math eyes to see math in a photo of 12 gingerbread men. I have created a DLO to show my learning. It was kind of hard trying to find some math in the photo probably because we had just got out of lockdown and I was not that used to work yet so ya. I did not find it very easy. As I was looking I saw that some of there buttons were different colours and their hats were different sizes and there shoes are different sizes then the other shoes. Do you have math eyes?

Action World

On Tuesday 3rd of December we went to Action World where there are lots of different things to do. My favourite activity was the water slide. First, the girls went on the water slide and had 2 turns on it, then we got changed back into our clothes and the boys went on the water slide. The second thing I went on were the small car thing, they were fun too. (I don’t know what they are called). Then I went on the tightrope. I fell of it the second I let go of the side. Then I tried to do the Tarzan swing but didn’t get over Sissy. After that I went back on the cars. Next I got bored and just started walking around, and then a few minutes later I got back on the Tarzan swing and I GOT OVER SISSY!! You have to complete the Tarzan swing before you go on the HUGE trapeze. The sad thing was as soon as I got over Sissy to go on the huge trapeze it was time to go back to school.

Recycling is when you get something old and turn it into something new, like if you had a cardboard box and you didn’t know what to do with it you can turn it into a castle. Reducing is when you don’t use as much rubbish or plastic like instead of plastic wrap on your food you can use beeswax wraps. Reusing is when you reuse something; say you had a container that you can’t recycle, you can use it for something else like a lunch box. Say you had banana peel you would put it in the food scraps, and if you had plastic whatever and you can’t recycle it, it would go in the rubbish. If you had cardboard that is clean you can put it in the recycling.

Popcorn

In my class we were learning how plants such as corn grow. We read books and filled in a table explaining how the plants in the book were grown. Then we made an animation based on one of the stories. I chose the popcorn story to base my animation on.
