My Hockey Tournament

Today I completed my Hockey tournament that I have been running over the past few weeks

Today was the Final and Cossey won and will be receiving the trophy on Friday at Prizegiving.

That is all from me for now. 

What Have I Been Up To...

I seem to forget to post so I am going to do it as one great big post if I have to.

First things first Ag Day

For Ag Day I had a lamb named Frosty. At Ag Day we had to do leading, calling, and rearing and bloom. I had horrible luck with calling and he didn't come. For rearing and bloom I did a lot better because I knew a lot about where they came from and how old and so much more. For leading I came 1st place. I thought I was having problems hearing but he did say 'Kaitlyn'. When we had prize giving I was called up twice. I received the Senior Lamb Leading trophy and the Senior Champion Lamb trophy. I was really proud of myself because it was also my first year doing a lamb and I did really well.

Moving On,

In class we have a great big maths sheet to nut our way through. I am about one third to half way through but there are people behind and ahead of me.

Continuing,

At school we are doing up Room 8 and we are making it into a Makerspaces and STEAM room.

STEAM stands for

Science

Technology

Engineering

Arts

Maths

Tomorrow we are heading off to The Mind Lab to get some ideas about what we are going to do at our school.

I believe I have covered everything but if you have any questions please feel free to leave them below and I will get back to you. :-)

Just An Update

This is just a quick pot because I haven't been posting much. We have been doing maths sheets. Today we did a Science experiment using vinegar and baking soda to inflate balloons because a lot of people were at Athletics

SCIENCE!!

For our Prep for Learning we have to research a scientist and write a detailed biography.
We also have to choose a science experiment and share it with the class and I have chosen to do The Lava In A Cup Experiment.

Agricultural Day

On the 17th of October we had Ag Day.

I did a lamb as my animal but you could also do a calf, chicken or small animal. We could also do a Rural Assignment for the people that lived in town. I live in town but I had a lamb named Frosty.

We also had to do Ag Day Art. We had to make...

• Pompom Sheep
• Poppy Art
• Material Collage
• Four Seasons
• Puppets
• Decorative Bottle Planting Pots

My favourite was making the puppets. We had to choose one of a few designs and I chose to do a Minion. 

I also liked making Pompom Sheep even though they were a last minute addition because we finished all our other art on the Thursday. 

Kidsedchatnz

This is my weekly learning reflection for Kidsedchatnz. Also here is the link for the Blog they post on. LINK

Weekly Learning Reflection T3 W4

Hey everyone, my weekly learning reflection,

We have started to do Measurement for Math. We needed to complete three tasks, two about millimetres, metres and kilometres. Our third task was millilitres, litres and kilolitres. A few questions were saying what their 'short' version or abbreviation was like millilitres=ml, kilometres=km.

We have been working hard on our speeches so that they are ready so we can find out who is in the final next week. My speech is about Bullying, saying why bullies bully and the types of bullying and possible ways to overcome it.

We had Kidsedchatnz on Wednesday and I completed my reflection. P.S. I am going to share my weekly reflection with all of you guys reading my blog.

That is all for now, BYE!!

Weekly Learning Reflection

Hi everyone, this is term three, week three's learning reflection. And on with reflecting,

This week we started to write our goals and go through our E-Asttle results. I now know what the levels are and mean because I thought that 'A' is achieved but it is actually 'Advanced'.

For Kidsedchatnz we had the topic the flag debate and I thought it was well chosen chat because of the flag debate currently happening. But 26 million dollars is a lot of money to change the flag when it can be better spent like feeding children that don't take lunch to school or as they are currently doing improving the transport.

On Thursday we went to tech and we are making pewter jewellery. Before we make the jewellery we have to create a mould and the design for the mould has to be Kiwiana, Maori or Pacifica.

We have also been working on our speeches. My speech is about 'Bullies - The Experience', it is about the bullies point of view and types of bullying.

Flag Debate

Hi guys, this post is just about a petition I have signed and am sharing with you because I would like you to support this.

This petition is to say NO to the flag being changed and I think you all should sign this but you don't have too. THE LINK 

Matariki

On Wednesday 1st July we had Matariki as a whole school.

The Hangi

For the Hangi people were there early in the morning to help dig the hole and start the fire. At 1:30 pm and they cut it up to eat.

There was Chicken, Lamb, Pumpkin and Kumara. There was lots of leftovers to take home. I helpe by escorting children to the eating area and packing it up after by putting tables away and cleaning out the buckets which I never got around too.

The Activities

We had lots of activities to do but Rooms 1 and 3 stayed at one activity to run it.

The activity I was at was making Kites. You need to have wood, string, tablecloth, tape and some decorations for the tail and a piece of wood or plastic to wrap the string around so it doesn't fly away.

Some of the other activities were Paper Lanterns, Can Lanterns and Putiputi to name a few. I was in room 5 and next door was Alana making paper lanterns.

Weekly Learning Reflection Week 8

This week we did a lot compared to other weeks.

We used Logo Programming to start to learn to program and I have made a cube and a cool spiral thing.

We started to write our Instructional Writing and I am doing How To Use Google Slides and a few Tips and Tricks.

We have also been doing Problem Solving Strategies and doing problem solving in our Math. I have completed two (2) pages of the book I am working on. Problem Solving Strategies.

Most of the class have got Basic Facts cards to help them learn their basic facts. If you don't have basic facts cards you have to test and help others learn their basic facts. 

We also had Tech and I had a really bad day because my machine kept jamming and I burnt my fabric. I am now starting my pillow and Mrs. D and Mrs. Kay are going to complete it next week for me!!

Weekly Learning Reflection T2 W1 & W2

It was our first week back at school!!! We started to write ANZAC poems to go with the art we will be starting.

We went to Auckland Live and were very privileged to see 3 numbers of Singing In The Rain. And Did You Know... that they re use the same water every time they do a performance. Auckland Live is when you do a lot of Drama and Teamwork activities like there was a bird on a screen and using a motion sensor camera we had to work together to uncover the bird from behind the shadow.

(I will continue to add as I remember what we did in the previous 2 weeks).

Week 7 Learning Reflection

The previous week  I have been using Mathletics a lot. I have almost completed the Basic Facts area on Mathletics. We were also doing strategies for Numeracy with number lines. For science we made energy changers. They changed energy from potential energy to kinetic energy. Potential energy is energy that has the potential to move, kinetic energy is something that is moving.

We also participated in Kidsedchatnz. The topic was on Food and Nutrition.

Check it Out

I'd love it if you all could check out my pages. Especially my Writing page.

I have posted my first Storybird story. I'd love some feedback on this beginner book!!!

Stay Positive

Here is  a short video on staying positive. Enjoy. My Source.

Weekly Learning Reflection

At the end of last week Karlson, Meagan and I started to record our Fallen Soldiers ANZAC project. Karlson was the person Meagan was interviewing as William Henry Henderson. I did all the 'Behind the Scenes' work.

We also began our Science with Mrs. Connett on Electricity in the Physical World. Our question is 'What is the most efficient, sustainable source of renewable energy?' We had to take notes and at the end we made a cartoon on Fossil Fuels. 

Last week was a big week because we created our blogs. It took a while but at least now we have blogs!!!

ANZAC Poem

This is a poem about ANZAC Day.

They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We Will Remember Them.

Lest We Forget
