We were split into three groups it was senior middle school and juniors the senior group did the water slide and pool first. It was fun zooming down the water slide and having heaps of fun. Then we wen't into the pool to cool down and relax. After that we went to do games the first game we played was capture the flag it is a really intense game. A little after we played t-ball it is like softball. When we changed over we played board games and had lunch it was a tiring day but it was time to get our wheels out I did not have some wheels but I borrowed some other peoples and I learnt how to ride a bike!!!!! 
Here are some of the photos of the day!

Six thinking hats

Hello blogging world, Last week week we made a slide around the six thinking hats. The topic was our gala day. It was so much fun and it was fun to see everything like the dances and wet the teacher it was so amazing to see a bit of every culture which is cool because I never knew about what happens in every cultures dance i was in the Bollywood group and it was fun to see what happens in there dance. Everyone had a blast and everything went well. Thanks to everyone that came to the gala day we really enjoyed the company.



This is my slideshow about the celebration day I really enjoyed it and I also enjoyed doing my dance. What was hard to do was trying to find the right photo's about the day to put on my slideshow. And what was easy was remembering all of the parts of the day and I already knew some of the things that were happening on the day so it was easy to think about the parts. What I learnt was how to reflect on my learning.

Our creation for paper

Hello blogging world, for our gala we had to make something to sell and we made recycled paper. It is very easy to make but in some parts it is a little tricky. This was a good thing because it was sustainable to the earth because we are not wasting paper. We are reusing it and making into more paper that is recycled paper . Paper also comes from the trees so if you put it into the ground it will just go into the dirt because it is biodegradable. We are creating Christmas cards because it is Christmas and also some seed bombs that you plant into your  garden and then it grows into a beautiful flower. Here are some photos

If you want to know how to make paper it go's like this:

What you will need to make is:

• bucket
• water-cold/hot
• deckle/mould for your paper 
• sponges/cloth 
• 2 containners with a flat surface at the bottom 
• used paper 
• patients
• masher/egg beater 

Know how you make it is:

1. Firstly you Rip some paper a good size not to big because then you have to do a lot of hard work. After that you have to add water that is hot and then leave it over night 
2. When you wake up your paper will be ready to mix it up with your egg beater. Then when it looks like porridge you poor it into one of your containers and add three/two buckets of water.
3. After that you get your deckle and the sheet with it and you put them together and put your frame on top and then put it in and grab some mesh that you made and after that you let it drip dry 
4. When it is drip drying you get your container and you flip it up side down and then you put your cloth or sponge on it.
5. after that take the frame off and then you flip it onto the sponge then take the deckle and place another sponge/cloth on top of it and run you hand along it.
6. Lastly take the sponge off done!

 Overall I think making paper is really fun to do because you are doing something sustainable which is good for the earth. What was hard to do was the mixing part and the ripping. But the easy/hard part was making the piece of paper. Maybe you could try making paper or you could even tell your teacher if your class could make paper one day because it is really fun to make. Maybe you could come to our celebration day and buy some of our paper from our school.

The gala day of the year term 4

Hi there blogging world, A few weeks ago we made a poster about our gala day 2017. Come along because we have lot's of things that is so much fun. We made made this poster with pastels pencil and vivid. We applied the pencil first then we made the outline with vivid. After that we coloured them in with pastel and made them look beautiful. This gala day is on the 25th of November form 10.30-3.30 so be there if you can😝. There will be food to buy, dances, stalls that the students have made things for people to buy for example recycled  paper, soap made from scratch and  tote bags made from fabric they came from all around the block and and all the classes have made a product each. Here is my poster!

This is my poster it doesn't  have a good view because it is really big. But it has lot's of things on it that will be happening on the day. On the day it will be lot's of fun you will get to do the things that you see here and also other things.

This was a easy task because I know so much about the day but what was the easiest was it was really easy to draw it all up because I already had a draft in my art book so all  I had to do was copy it onto the sheet of paper.

The things that were hard/frustrating were after I drew my poster there was more things that the teachers told us about after some people were close to finishing but I could not start a new one so I just kept the one I made.

Overall I think the day is going to go well and I hope you could make it to our school-(Waikowhai Primary School) on the day it will be sad if you can't make it but that's okay. I Hope lot's of people come.

Facts about hares-(inquiry)

Hello blogging world, A few weeks ago we started to do something to present facts about something of your choice that had to do with mountains. I chose to do facts about snow hares and then make it in to a infographic. Some people made animation and google sites also google slides and more. This was a fun task to do because you learn so much facts about what your topic was about. I learnt so much facts about hares and I think that other people learnt so much things too.

Here is my infographic there will be a link to see the whole thing.

Click here to see a better view

Here is a picture and a link to see my infographic. This was a easy task to do and a hard task because in the start everything was everywhere and it was to hard to control everything so it was just a mess. But this was an easy task because I already knew how to use piktochart to create an infographic so it was easy to add text, photos, colour and more. I really liked doing this task maybe I might make another one about cats because I 💜 cats.

The flying maths

Hello blogging world, last week we started a slide called 'our name NZ Journey' eg. Ashana's NZ Journey. It was about a journey that we had to go on to different places, but it wasn't really real, we were just doing it on a slideshow. We had to think about the cost of  petrol, also what kind of hotel we want, air flights, even a car to hire. This was really fun, but I wish that we were going for real. 

These are some of the photo's that are from my maths. The first photo is about  what we have to think about when we started this activity. The second photo is about some activity's that we could choose from they look really fun to do. And the last photo is about a cost for one day and that includes a car,hotel and also activity's.

What I learn't was how to control  a big cost because normally I can spend a lot money at once but it teaches  me  how  to control money. Hopefully you enjoyed this blog post about maths maybe you could try and make one.

How to make a good comment

Hello Blogging world two weeks we made a good quality  comment using a google slide to write the different parts of a comment. We used a individual blog to create a comment. We then had to make a acrostic poem about something(our names,school, Ako Hiko and other things)  and then we had to make it about what you need in a comment. You could use the example or you could make your own one that was similar to the example.



This is my cyber smart slide on how to make a good quality comment. This was a easy task to do because I already new how to make a good quality comment so it wasn't that hard to do. I really enjoyed doing this task because I like commenting on other peoples blogs because they like getting feedback on there work so it makes them really happy because they got comments from people.

Thank you for reading my blog post hope you enjoyed

Minecraft character

Hello Blogging world, last week we made some Minecraft characters during maths time. This was kind of a challenge because you had to make all the squares be the same size so then when you make your out lines and  colour it. This was a really fun task that you should try if you know how to make one. I made a minecraft character if me and then I made a cat's face which dose'nt really look like a cats face but it looks close enough.
Here is my minecraft character. 

Here is my character and cat. I think This is easy once you know how to do all of the steps first but it was really tricky when I was first starting to do it. If you want to try this ask your teacher if you can do this task it is very fun so you and your friends should have a go. This is a really fun task to be doing at home if you are really board. I like doing this because even tho I  don't play Minecraft I like making these characters

The place full of madness

Hello Blogging world, Today we went to a science  show that taught us lots of tricks and facts about science. The people that were presenting this were Richard and Robyn. This is a cool science show that you should watch you can check out  his websites to see some photo's of his magic shows and also some videos. This is a fun and interesting science show.

                                        What some of the things that we saw were...

 we saw this firework that shot up into the air and then it dissapeared. There also were these bubbles that were made really big also they got moved around. There was a leaf blower that was attached to a toilet paper roll and then it went flying. AND MORE.

                                                   what was really amazing...

what was amazing was probably everything because the tricks were awesome so it was hard to choose what was the best. The but what I really liked was the fire work because it shot up when he lit it.

                                              What I had learnt from this was...

that if you sprinkle grains on fire it spreads everywhere. Do you know what the thinnest thing in the world is? well it is a bubble. It was the so amazing because I thought the thinnest thing was a glass.There was a thing called friction and that was about  when you rub your hands together it makes heat and when you click your fingers together it makes sound.  also here's a really interesting fact- only substance on earth that exist in is Gas/liquid/solid.

                                               What I am wondering now is...

I wonder how he does all of those tricks and when did he start learning them? He must of took classes that he's so good and so careful. I wonder why he was learning how to do magic tricks and how quick did he learn them.

Overall I think the science is a great idea to go and watch because you learn lots of things and it's so much FUN!!! it is the best magic show Iv'e ever watched. This is a great experience that you should go and watch with your family you'll be amazed the minute it starts and then when it finishes you'll want to tell your friends. 

                                                     HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS/VIDEOS↓↓↓ 

                                          

                   

My camp experience

 Hello blogging world,Today I am sharing my camp slideshow with you. We went to camp last week and we went to Mt Ruapehu and we could do skiing or snowboarding I did skiing because my teachers said it was easier to do than snowboarding. We went to lots of places my favourite stop was the hot pools. We got a 10 thousand$ grant for our camp and that was good because before it was $500 but it went down $200 for each person and there was 70-74 people going to camp. I really enjoyed  camp.
(also a big thanks to our bus drivers Roy and Barry!)


This is my camp slide about all the things I did at camp and some of the photos of me and some friends are on there. My favourite thing on the mountain was the chairlifts because now I know how to get on and off the chairlift. 

This camp was a big bravery experience for me because I have never done skiing before and never been on a chairlift before but it was really fun doing both of those things,also working as a team when we did group activities. Our group(the blue team) we came second when we did the Edmund Hilary walk way in Otorohanga.

 It was really interesting to know all of the facts about all of those different things(hope you could do it one day to learn some facts)This camp was a success because we had great weather on the mountain and because mostly everyone was wearing there thermals.

Overall I think everyone had a great time because they all came back will smiles and everyone came back safely. I would like to say a big thanks to all of the parents and teachers that came to camp.

Hope you enjoyed. Blog you later!!!

My grammar activity.

Hi blogging world, Welcome back to the first blog post of the term. This week we have been learning about grammar. We had the task to do the one of the words in brackets to see if it makes sense we highlighted them so the person who was reading it knew what word we did here is my grammar Activity hope you enjoy.


This is my grammar. Have a read and see if it makes sense(click here to see a better view)The things that I found easy was that you had to work it out and see if it made sense. The things that I found hard was there were two words that made sense but then you had to highlight one of them. The words  were  are and is because they both make sense but in some sentences it just made sense straight away. Thanks for reading. Please feel free to add a comment😆.

Ako hiko student toolkits

Hello blogging world, yesterday we went to the student toolkit's 24 students got picked to go. There was a lot of things that you could do and but you had to pick some on the Ako Hiko website. Then when we got there we got our badges that had our groups on it. My groups were tinker cad and kahoot making. We also had two challenges to see which school would win. We did not win but that's okay because there's always a next time. The two challenges that we had to do were a coding completion and a problem solving completion.The coding completion was about using a spheros which is a thing that moves around  and the problem solving was about building something as tall as 10cm high. 
Have a look at some of the photos on the day!

These are some of the photos of the day some of them are in the hall and some of them are in other areas. One of them is me and my friend sitting on a table in a tinker cad session.

Hope you enjoyed this post about the student led toolkits

How to make a good quality comment

Yesterday in cyber smart we were looking at someones blog post and then we had to make a good quality comment.It had four sections to it on how to make a comment then we had to join them all together to make one big comment. Have a look down below!
Here is my one this was about the May Road Way. It talks about their rules of the school. This was a easy task because I always comment on people's blogs and I am good at doing it. I really like this task because I like commenting on other peoples blog so then they can comment on my blog and we can have a good conversation about it.

Making something move Animation

Hello Blogging world, A few weeks ago we made a animation about any think we wanted. Mine was about a person that was in a hot air balloon and then a plane came along and... put a hole in the balloon. Then the person fell to the ground and then the person landed where there house was. Then they went to go have some lunch.


This is my animation have a look and see also have some fun. I think this task was a easy and hard task. I think it was hard because it was hard to choose  something because it might be a bit hard to do. It was a bit easy because once you knew what you were doing you could do it straight away. This was a fun task because it is fun to make something move.Please feel free to leave a comment😛.

Me and Amie's comic strip!

Hello blogging world, last week in we were working on a comic strip about gmail. We had to insert some pictures about something that happens in gmail. This had to have some text in it to show people what we are trying to act out. Me and Amie put some emoji's in to try and show what we are feeling in that photo that we were acting.

  

This is our comic strip we did ours about spamming that means to send so many emails to one person or a lot of people to put some much emails in the gmail that they don't need then they have to delete them all again and they might delete the ones they need. This was an easy task to do because I was doing it with a buddy. If I did it by myself it would be a bit harder to do, because I would not know what to do for an idea. If it wasn't for Amie, we would not have such a great idea about gmail. 

All about me thing link!

Hi blogging world, in cyber smart we were working on our all about me thing link.This was about what we like and what our hobbies and other things that we like. We had to put two paragraphs about ourselves on, two videos that we like or that meant something to us, and two pieces of work that we liked from in our Drives or in our school books. 

Here is my thing link.

Here is my thing link I enjoyed this because I got to talk about me and share with people what I like doing and what I like.What I learned from this was how you embed your thing link because it was a challenge to figger it out.What I noticed about this was there is no need to  hide your feelings about what you write about.
Hope you enjoyed my thing link.Don't forget to add a positive thoughtful and helpful comment

My compare and contrast map

Hello blogging world, in reading we were working on a compare and contrast map about two stories that had some differences and similarities about theses two stories.The differences were about what is different about each story and the similarities were about  what is the same about these to books.

This is my compare and contrast map you can see it talks about the  similarities and differences, you can also see that the two stories are up the pipe and world's water running out. This was a simple task because I knew the things about the stories because I read the story of what it is about. This was kind of a hard task because you had to compare them and say what is there differences and similarities because it was a bit tricky to sort the information out into three groups. Two were the same heading but different information.
Thanks for reading, hope you liked it, feel free to leave a comment😄.

Rocket lab soars into space

Hello blogging world,A few days Ago we had the task to do a infographic about the rocket lab soars into space on kiwi kids news.We used google drawings to create our infographic. We used shapes and symbols/images to create it.This was New Zealand first ever  launch that they have had so far.
This is my infographic about rocket lab soars into space it has lots of information. This task was kinder a easy task and a hard task. This was a easy task because we just had to put information about the rocket. This was a hard task because we had to skim and scan for the information that was interesting about it. I found lots of information about the rocket and I did not even know that the rocket was going into space or launching  until I read the article. 

What I think about the fantastic new classroom

Hello blogging world,A couple of days ago rooms 7,8 and 9 moved into a big classroom and it was so exciting.We had a big ceremony about the big opening and Michael Wood cutting the ribbon(down below will be some photos) .We used the Bono six thinking hats to help us explain how we were feeling about the new classroom and to understand it.Here is my six Bono thinking hats,take a look.


Here is my six thinking hats they describe six things about the new classroom.Our new classroom is called Te Waka Ako.
These six thinking  hats have helped me to describe what I think about the new classroom.Also I have learned that what you feel about the new classroom that you can just write it down on the six thinking hats because you might not what to put what you are feeling on there.

These classrooms were built for ILE that means click here! 
and the six Bono thinking hats mean click here!

This is the big sign.On the right is our principal and on the left is Michael wood.

my wonderful character description

Hello blogging world last week we were making a character and we used a y-chart to describe our character.We made our character using build your wild self we had to give it a name then we were writing paragraphs  about there personality,Actions and looks like.Here is my plan 
Here is my character description.The name of my character is scarlet She is very,very,very nasty to people.
Here are my three paragraphs 
LOOKS LIKE PARAGRAPH 
Scarlet uses her big enormous hoofs to tap dance and walk . She uses her gigantic swishy tail to whack her enemies away. She uses her flamingo legs to stand on one foot and win every competition from just standing on one foot.When she is playing hide and seek she uses her butterfly wings to fly way up high so no one will find her and then she won’t be the seeker  because she hates been the seeker.Her big long trunk helps her suck up so much water at a time. (It’s useful in water fights.) When people are sad she goes and tickles them with her fluffy koala ears and no one enjoys it because they hate getting tickled . In class she uses her feather Mohawk to show off because everyone likes it, then they get into trouble and then she laughs.  
ACTIONS PARAGRAPH 
Everyday on the way to school she trots along with her hoofs like a horse but sometimes she just flies to school because she is to lazy to walk. She flies  around like a moth.That big trunk of hers helps to suck up water and win every water fight.When she does not like what someone is doing she whacks them with her tail because it really hurts , she even hits teachers and principals.
PERSONALITY TRAITS PARAGRAPH
She has no friends because she is so nasty to everyone that they never want to play with her.She is a bully to everyone that is new at school. She is very unwelcoming to people. When it’s playtime she loves to go flying in the air to get away and have a break from all the school kids and teachers. If her class goes swimming she makes excuses not to go because she hates the water because her wings get wet and then she can’t fly home and then she is gonna be very tired and angry.She is very curious to try everything. Also very,very,very adventurous. Loves to pick up things with her trunk and throw them around like people.
These are my three paragraphs they describe her Actions,looks and personality traits.Please feel free to Add a positive,thoughtful and helpful comment😊.

My amazing creation

Hey blogging world! On Wednesday we were doing Ready Set Design.We were  creating something for our teacher if he gets wet.We used tinker cad to come up with a idea on what we would do.Then we made a slide and put our picture in.Ready,set,design was a learning tool to make our brains creative.I think this was fun to do because we got to build a lot of things.We were doing this challenge for three days. Below there will be a slide about me and Amie's design.We also had to have a group of four for the rest of the week this is my group-Amie,Ashana,Rua,Alfred.

This is me and Amie's design this is our carriage this keeps his books laptop and him dry.There is wheels for it to move and also a staring wheel for him to drive it just like a car.There is a door that automatic door so he does not drop his books or laptop.We think this is the best solution because it is very handy to use when it is raining.Hope you enjoyed this,please feel free to leave a comment.I love your feedback=)
