Athletics

On Tuesday the senior school had their athletics. At nine o'clock the entire senior school had to meet on the field and get into our age group. The activities were high jump, long jump, shot put, vortex, sprints and long distance. Here is a little slide show that Mrs Larsen made, it has pictures of some of the things we did at athletics.

Assembly Item

On Friday our class performed  a class item in assembly. Our item was Two Pigs a Wolf and a Mud Pie. Our four main characters were Tarron who was Ima, Keylen who was Tic, then we had Jake who was Tac and Kahu who was Toe. Then we had the co characters they were Casey who was Snow White, Caleb who was Cinderella, Cole who was Hansel and Joshua who was Gretel. Also Brandin who was the wicked witch. Me and Isaiah were the prop people we were also the people who had to come up with the music and the dance moves, the song we chose was I got a good feeling by Avicci. It was for scene three which was at a festive ball. We also had dwarves who came out of Snow White's house. After our Item I felt  stoked that we did the whole thing perfectly.

Contract

One of our contract activity's was to create a Wordle using words to show how you would feel if you won the co2 car race between Room's fifteen, six and five. Here is mine.

Week 3 Reflection

WHAT: This week we learnt two new Maori phrase which is Homai te  and Homai to. Homai to means pass me your..... and Homai te means pass the....... Also this week we started swimming in the school swimming pool pretty much every day we have gone swimming. This week we also went down to Springvale stadium to learn more skills to have while you are playing badminton. When we were there we were taught how to use the back hand hit. After that we had a mini tournament where it was one on one,  if you lost you had to go back one half of the court but if you won you had to go forward half a court. Our habit of mind is taking responsible risks for an activity we chose a character out of book that is a risk taker and if they are  a responsible risk taker or if they are a irresponsible risk taker.Also my goal last week was to listen more to people if they are talking to me.

SO WHAT: This week I found out all of the things your bike needs to pass a bike safety test. I also learnt that Tarron could be a swim suit model when he grows up.

NOW WHAT:Next week  I hope to do more activities on taking responsible risks. I also want to go swimming. My goal next week is to concentrate  on my work.

Risky Characters

For  our habits of mind we have been learning about taking responsible risks. For an activity we chose a character out of a book and explained whether it was a responsible risk or a irresponsible risk.

Dennis The Menace

     

I think that Dennis the Menace takes irresponsible risks by sneaking into his neighbours  house and setting up booby traps. I think it is irresponsible because he could really hurt someone and could get into lots of trouble.

Bike Safety

Yesterday we had a visit from Constable Val. When she arrived she asked the class who had brought their  bike. Casey was the only one. After that she asked us who had one and mostly everyone put their hands up. Constable Val asked Casey to go and grab his helmet. When he brought it in she told us a story about a boy in Pamerston North that fell of his bike and didn't have a helmet on. The boy got brain damage, it damaged the the places in his head that make him eat and chew. Finally it was time for Casey to bring his bike into the classroom. When he brought it in she told us that every bike has a serial number on the bottom so if it ever gets stolen you can go to the police station,  give your name and the serial number. After that we went over all of the things a bike is supposed to have.    

Week 2 Reflection

 

WHAT: This week we went to badminton for our first time this term. When we arrived there we did some stretches then we had to get a buddy for the game we were about to play. We all got a number and  each side of the court had  to go back to the white line at the end of the court. When ever our number was called we had to quickly run to the middle of the court and grab a shuttle cock. This week we also made a picture  of Wanganui,  first we drew it in our art books and then we transferred it on to our piece of paper for the calendar pictures.When we had finished pencil drawing onto our good copy we went over it with vivid,  then finally it was time  to dye our art. My behaviour goal is to listen to people when they are talking to me and I think that I have done good this week with  it. Also our habit of mind is taking responsible risks.

 SO WHAT: This week I learnt that Rippa Rugby is quite hard as a team and people sometimes   don't want to pass.
 I also learnt in badminton that it is hard facing Isaiah.

NOW WHAT: Next week I hope to do better with my learning goal which is to  be at where I'm supposed to be in writing. Also next week I hope to do  more activities in reading.

Rippa Rugby

Last week we got a visit from  two guys that were coming to teach us how to play rippa rugby. When we got to the field he got us to put a belt and some rips on. Then we played a game where we had to listen to his commands while we were running around sometimes he would yell catch which meant we had to jump up and act as if we were catching a rugby ball. The second command was to spin around as if there was a opponent in front of you. The third command was to run and then drop onto the ground. We also then played a game where had to focus on our passing we had to keep our stance as if we were playing the piano. Who ever got to five won. After that we played a game of one on one rippa but some times he would call out two numbers at the same time.

My Contract

One of our contract activities is we need to create our own brand for our Co2 Car. We had to also design a logo to go with our brand, this is mine.

Geometry

This week we started a new maths focus, it is geometry. For our first activity we made a  picture out of shapes in Microsoft  word this is my robot.

Chinese Students Slideshow

Holiday Art Picture

Carefully I switched on the xbox and slowly put my xbox game in. Then I sat down and it was time to get button bashing “Yah I have finally won against you” I had been having a winning streak until my cousin came over and absolutely crushed me.

Week 4 Reflection

WHAT: This week we found out what our new habit of mind is it was gathering data through all senses. Also this week we got a visit from Ms O'connors brother, he is from the army. When he came to our class he showed us some videos of road side bombs. The second day he came he took the class outside to teach us some drills that he uses during attacks. The first one he showed  us was called pepper potting. Pepper potting is when you are getting fired at.Two of the soldiers shoot firstly, one of the soldiers drop back five passes and then yell out move a couple times. The next drill was when you are protecting your boss and he is shot. There are four soldiers surrounding him and all four soldiers drop back into cover to work out a plan to go and save your boss. After you have decided on a plan you must run and two of you pick him up and the other two cover them by shooting at the enemy. We also went to gym it was fantastic I really enjoyed doing all of the obstacles. We also got a visit from a man from the ASB bank to talk to us about money.

SO WHAT: This week I learnt that if you use your credit card your'e actually using the banks money that you have to pay back.

This week I think I did pretty good on my behavior goal witch is helping others when they ask for help.

NOW WHAT: Next week I hope to get a hundred percent on my spelling test.Also next week  hope to do buddy art. I must edit my work myself before taking it to the teacher.

My Writing Activity/Bubbl Us

For Felts writing activity we made a bubble us about something we did in the holidays. This is mine i hope you like it.

My Holiday Story

In the holidays when my ten year old cousin came up to my house I noticed a nerf package in his hand, he had brought a long shot pack nerf gun set. It had two guns and a dart vest, when we opened up the package we loaded the guns and straped on the vest. We were finally ready for war, I ran to hide behind the car but he notice me and shot me in the back of the head. After he had shot me he ran off and was nowhere to be found. Suddenly out of nowhere my cousin jumped out of the tree and shot but he missed so i quickly shot and it stuck to his vest. So then I chased him, all I needed to do was shoot him and I would win. As I shot him, he dodged it and the bullet went over the bank. He shot me in the chest and won the game.

About Stars

When you look at the sky during night you might see many stars. If you are camping in the mountains or the desert away from the cities bright lights you may see thousands of stars. You might even be able to  see a milky way. In a city you can't see as many stars because the city lights are to bright. Their brightness distracts from  the stars. There are different kinds of stars, there are big stars, little stars and also a couple of stars have been found over 100 to 200 times larger then the sun. Some very old stars are smaller then Earth. Scientists study stars and place them in groups based on how they are  alike and how they are different. At the end of stars lives they explode into what is called a Supernova here are some pictures.

Frank Bunce

0n Friday 16 th may Frank Bunce the former All Black came to our school to talk to us about the Westpac fundraising appeal. Also a Westpac helicopter  pilot came to talk to us about `where  he has to go to save people and how long he had been saving people's lives and that they are risking their own lives to rescue people. We also had a man from  Westpac Bank that gave us a Westpac bag and a rugby ball signed by Frank. After that the rippa team got to go do a few passing drills with him and also got a picture. We also got his signature on a piece of paper.

Striving For Accuracy

A couple of weeks ago we drew a picture of when we strove for accuracy. Mine is about when I was playing soccer the first time I kicked the ball I missed,  but the next time round I scored. Here is my picture.

Room 15's Assembly Item

On Friday Room 15 did an item at assembly. For our item we did a play called Once Upon a 100 Years Nap which is about Sleeping Beauty and how her mother in law comes to stay and is not very happy about what is going on. She hires her evil friend Daisy to turn Mr Roberts the butler into a cat, Made Jules the maid into a frog and Sleeping Beauty's friend Sandy man into to a bucket of sand. In the play I was Sandy Man Sleeping Beauty's friend. I was meant to have a meeting with her about the fantastic mattresses that she had made and to hopefully open up a factory. I think that the play was amazing. Here is a video. I hope you like it.

Going to Rutherfod

Today we went to Rutherford Junior High for P.E and music. For our warm up in P.E we played monster ball monster. Monster ball is when you have a huge ball in the middle and four teams. The aim is to try and get the huge ball to cross the other teams line and into their territory by throwing dodge balls at it. In music we focused on drums. For the first bit of music we talked about music notes then Mr Berryman showed us all of the different types of drums. After looking at the drums we were shown a video clip of a guy playing this really weird cajon drum then we were allowed to play on the instruments. It was t-riffic.

Rutherfod Junior High

Today we went to Rutherford junior high at Rutherford we did some p.e and also some music.  For p.e we played a game called German Warfare and also  played  badminton, for badminton we focused on just serving it to our partner. To play German Warfare you have to have a soft ball  and two taggers and the aim is to get all of the rest of the people out. Our focus for music was to start to play a song as a group, in my group was Cole, Keylen, Me and Tepairangi I played the drums our song sounded fantasic.

Making 3d bugs

A couple of weeks ago room 15 made some 3d reading bugs. We could either choose a caterpillar, a spider, a lady bug and an ant first we had to choose which bug we wanted. Then we had to go over it with the colour we wanted it to be  then we had to let it dry after we had done that we had to make sure that  you couldn't see any bits of the egg carton, if there were none then we could start putting patterns on them. Also after we had done patterns on them we could get some pipe cleaners and start to make legs and antennas . After we had gotten them the way we wanted them we had to glue the legs on with a hot glue gun and Mrs Larsen stabbed holes in for the antennas and also glued crazy eyes  for its eyes.

Week 3 Reflection

WHAT: This week Mrs Larsen showed us some Picasso drawings two of them were drawn by kids and they looked fantastic then we drew some Picasso pictures ourselves, first we drew a couple and then were allowed to do a good copy of it.

After that we were allowed to stick legs on, the legs were made out pipe cleaners we could either make a caterpillar,an ant, a spider or a lady bug they look fantastic. We also started drafting our post cards to some of the other countries around the world.  We also started on a new book cover for our favourite book.  First we had to draft what we wanted it to look like, it  wasn't allowed to copy the origional book cover, we had to make it different. Another thing we did was choose a character out of our favorite book and create him out of a toilet roll. We also went to Rutherford Junior High School , at Ruderthod we played p.e and also went into the music and played on the keyboards and the guitars.


So What: This week I was reminded about making a book cover and what we needed to have on them. I also learnt more about playing the guitar and keyboard.

PMI About Rules/Laws

PLUS:
They keep every living thing safe because people have to follow these laws and if they don't follow them they get punished.
All of the rules are obeyed by the community

MINUS:
I think some of the rule are unfair and are just stupid.
I think some of the laws are just pointless.

INTERESTING:
Not all of the laws and rules are obeyed by the community
The community thinks some of them are pointless.
People protest about it.

Rules and Laws - What's the difference?

A rule is...something that a group of people have to follow and is not enforced  by police or government but maybe by a  group of people. Rules are just something that you have to stick to but cannot get prosecuted by not doing so.

A law is... a legal title that you must obey. Laws are enforced by the police and government. 

If drunk driving was never a law millions of people around the world would die. The world would be to dangerous to live in.

At the beach we did a lot of fantastic things like dolphin diving we also  learnt ten beach safety rules.After that we played sea weed with the life guards then we had a class relay, one of the life guards hopped on to our class team.

SO WHAT:This week I learnt more safety rules about being at the beach. I also learnt how to write codes to each other and figure it out.We made codes using shapes and numbers, it was fantastic.

NOW WHAT:Next week my goal is to listen and follow the teachers directions and to finish my work and earn more tokens.
