My discovery sharing

On Thursday 2nd of November Whetu shared our discovery projects. I was in the pollution group, with Cade, Sammy, Makayla, Jackson, Zion and Taj.  We did a lot of research and found out that there are seven different types of pollution. They are: Air pollution, Water pollution, soil pollution, radioactive pollution, noise pollution, thermal pollution and light pollution. Since there are 7 people in the group and 7 types of pollution, we each got to focus on one type of pollution. I chose air pollution. This is how it turned out:It is a mobile with all 7 types of pollution. When Whenua came and had a look at our projects, I think that they really liked ours. We set out cushions for them to sit on while we read them out.

🚘What is I Drive?🚘

If you are reading this, then you don’t know what I drive is. I Drive is a series of workshops/activities that you get to pick. You get to do that rotation for 2 weeks, the first week for planning, and the second week for building. I have been in stop motion for four weeks at the moment because Erin-jae and I are working on a commercial for the made awards. Our commercial is about invisible spray, something I have always wanted! When we have finished I would like to do photography.

If I were to change one thing in I drive, it would be that we get to go till lunch! I have found stop motion challenging because, we couldn’t film it very well,as there are only two people. When we tried to put a green screen background on, we didn’t even show up! If I were to introduce a new area of learning, it would be a tessellation workshop because tessellation is really fun and also part of geometry.

So there you are, now you know what I Drive is!

My quote

My quote      

I made this quote because a lot of people on earth are not being kind to each other. Do they not realise that instead of starting a war over some land, they can just share it?

And plus, think about how nice it would be if everyone was telling everyone else they were the sprinkle on their doughnut! Everyone would glow with happiness.

A whole town can change just because one person smiled at someone else. Smiles always spread like wild fires. If you see someone smiling at you today, return the favor.

IF I WON THE LOTTO

IF I WON THE LOTTO

If I won the lotto I would buy the following: I would buy a kitten because my kitten at home gets a little bit lonely sometimes and Hershey is growing up. Then I would get some tiny little cat shoes so my cats could take turns in wearing them. After that I would get a funny little beach car so I could travel places.(e.g the beach)Then I would get a caravan so that if I travel to an awesome place in the car, I could live there with my cats in my caravan.

What?	Who?	Where?	Why?	How much?	Total amount?

Term 2 hollidays

My Term 2  Holiday

On Saturday I drove all the way to Wellington! When we got there we stayed  with our cousins. Fraser got an upstairs bedroom, well I slept downstairs on a futon with my cousin.

The next day it was a cold and stormy day so we went to a cafe. The cafe was right next to the sea and we were looking out of the window, when way out at sea a circle of water was coming closer and closer. We realised it was a water spout so we thought it would stop at the land but the scary thing is, it didn’t.

It came up onto the beach, swirling the sand round like a washing machine, then it came into the car park,(smashing two windows as it went) and there were some chairs outside the cafe that were picked up and dumped onto the road. As quickly as it came, it was gone.

After that I was super scared, so we went back and watched the movie Trolls (they have an apple TV)

And that was the scariest thing in my holidays.

🎉🎉Celebrating my learning🎉

 Something I have achieved this year is getting every single one of my book club tasks done on time and up to the highest standards. The reason this is a celebration is because some years, I do not actually do it because I did other things.

Another achievement I have is my mural. To me this is a celebration because I got a certificate for it in front of the whole school.

Something I really need to work on is my 10 quick questions in AWS. They say they are quick, but really you have to work with your book for ages to work it out, and then after all that you might get it wrong.

Maths has been surprisingly fun because I am building a zoo. I am in a group with Emily L, and Erin-Jae. We are not doing a zoo for fun but to work out the area and perimeter. It is called ……(drum roll please)..........................................💥💥ZOOTOPYLYS!💥💥

TERM 4 REFLECTION.

I have enjoyed😀

• Working on homework challenges because I like to paint cut and glue.
• Making a lego costume for the christmas float in the santa parade because it was fun.
• Making and selling things for the garage sale because I like to see that people like our products.

This has been challenging😟

• Completing some maths IXL tasks because they are hard questions (example complete the pattern 1,    3,    7,    13,    21,    31,    43,  ?)  
• Completing some literacy tasks because they are hard when I do not know the meaning.
• Sometimes it is getting my sticker because I do not get things marked off on time.

What I am looking forward to next year 😳

• The bike trail because when the year 6’s did it it the photos looked awesome.
• SRA because I am curious about it.
• Book club because I have enjoyed this terms book club

HOMEWORK CHALLENGE

🏣👷OUR MILK BOTTLE HOMEWORK CHALLENGE🏣👷

For my homework, this is what I will do:

1. I am going to have a big stick, then I will cut the spout off a few one liter bottles
2. Then I will put the stars that I made on them
3. After I have done that, I will attach them upside down to the stick and put lights in them
4. After I have finished that, it will look like a stick with lanterns with light that shines through except for on the stars so the shadow will have stars!

I am up to finishing off the stars and getting one litre milk bottles. The biggest challenge I have had has been coming up with what I wanted to do. First I was going to do a fairy house, then I was going to do a christmas tree but grandma suggested a lantern stick.

LABOUR DAY

 In New Zealand, we  all have a public holiday on the fourth Monday of October. Labour day celebrates when the eight hour working day and the 48 hour working week became the law in 1899, primarily because of carpenter Samuel Parnell refused to work more than eight hours a day. He encouraged other tradesmen also to work for only eight hours a day and in October 1840, a workers meeting passed a resolution supporting the idea. On Labour day, I went biking with my family from Kopu to a few Km past the Matatoki cheese barn and into a tunnel. On the way back we stopped at the cheese barn. The animals there were: A chicken with chicks, budgies, finches, a sheep, goats, llama, bunnies with babies, and a guinea pig with babies. The little goat got out of its paddock,(even though the goats are on a chain) and butted a little todler.  Then my brother walked up to it and touched these little bits hanging down from its chin and said, what are these? Then it butted him. Well, that is all I have to say about labour day.

On Friday the 14 of October my four workshops were: Funky corner bookmarks,Fun with flax, Flax weaving,and Fishing knot tying. F.F.F.F. (Funky, fun, flax,fishing) My favorite was funky corner bookmarks. I like them because they are really cute and mine have funny little faces. I learnt how to make: bookmarks that slot onto the corner of your book, woven bracelets out of flax,a flax flower, and how to tie fishing knots. In the funky corner book marks, I am pretty sure I muck up because they come apart unless I put something in the middle. In fun with flax I had to use a mussel shell to get the edges jagged.

My Holiday recount

My Holiday recount

In the holidays I stayed in Papamoa. I went to the air force museum and then we saw some awesome things. The thing that I liked the most was this awesome plane that had heaps of compartments. There was the gun room, the living quarters, the radio operator's room, which had a second level which was really just a seat with windows and millions of buttons. Then there is the cockpit which was pretty cool, and in the footwell, it kind of got real big and there was a table and chairs but the roof and walls were made of glass.
