Athletics

                                      

This week we had Athletics day we all dressed in our house color and enjoyed working together in our group. l was in yellow team with Nyjah, Nevaeh, Jonathan, Giovanni and Angela. We all came in our color and tried to work as a team to win first place. The first activity we did was throwing the Frisbee in side of the hop and at the end we had to see how much we had all together. The next activity we did was rob the nest. What we needed to do was get as many balls in the our circle they was also one person that had a pip on that person could tag anyone from other teams. The next activity we played was high jump for this activity we had to go in a line and try and jump the fairest and then cone it. After that activity we did the sponge race for this we had to line up in our groups and try and fill up the bucket with water we had to go under a pole jump over a rope and put our sponge in the water and run back with it. After that we played shot put we had to throw the ball with our shot skills. Then after that we moved onto discus there were 3 different kinds of spots to throw the hop over and they were point 1, 3 and 5 we tried to stick with 1, 3 because it would be easier for use and because at the end of the game we won with 57 points. After that we moved onto the next activity for this we had to line up as a group and lay our chest and stomach on the ground and when the man says go we had to run and jump up and try and grab a ball. After that activity we had a bark under the shad for 20 minutes then we moved on to the egg and spoon game for this we had get into our line and have a spoon and a fake egg on top of the spoon and walk in and out of the cones and walk over the chair and wait until the man says run back and we run back we won that round. After all of those activity we had lunch which was sausages we ate our sausages and our own lunch and went and played when lunch time was finish we sat in our class outside and all the races in each class fasted. l enjoyed Athlectics day because we could have fun and play in the hot weather and work as a team.

Shakespeare

This week we were learning about Shakespeare. l was working with Angela, Nyjah, Chavda ans Marieta we made our own script in Shakespeare language and how he use to write his plays. We made a video on chatter pix which is wear we draw a line threw the mouth on the photo and record our voice. This was really fun to create and learn more about because we got to create our own scripts. We deiced to chose the fighting seen because we all found it interesting than the other sense that were in the play Romeo and Juliet. We each had a script which we had to say when we were recording the chatter pix. We also added some facts and information about William Shakespeare and how old he and when he died. 

Personifcation

The morning shines upon my face and the thick glass protects my face from the roaring wind.

People stare and people laugh but all I do is glare right back while they pass.

Then all of a sudden I hear a ring by the door and someone puts their hand on my face.

But I wonder if they ever use soap..I get shoved in a box then I peek through the whole and see the

things I’ve never seen before. After days of being loved, things started to change.

My hand tied in a not no longer able to undo and my feet begin to feel poor as I’m

thrown in front of the door.  I see the Sun I see the night I see what goes by me whenever I am left

alone. As I touched the brown muddy black puddle my holes give way for the brown water this makes

me drown and I hope for a bath. My ripped holes make all the water come threw l am scared what to do.

My hands aren’t tied l am being dragged through the black muddy water l can feel the rocky muddy

ground as l went under for a second dive. Still waiting for that bath!The last thing I heard was the roaring

wind across my face the last thing I knew was it was time to say goodbye and off to the bin I started

to cry being alone broke my heart but being unwanted tore my apart.

This week we were learning about Personifcation l was working with Angela to make write our

Personifcation about a pair of shoes. Personifcation is painting a pitcher in someone head and

giving something a real life thing. The Challenge we had to do was to get into partners face back

to back and write a Personification story on the a google doc that we were both working on the

hardest part was that we couldn't talk to each other we just had to write and hope that we had

the same ideas. My favorite part about this was learning more about Personification and working

with someone else to create a story about two pairs of shoes. l think we worked well togetter

and write l really well made Personification.

Vile Victorians

This week l was working with  Angela we were making a presentation that talked about the Vile Victorians we used a book that was about Horrible History that had facts and information about Vile Victorians. Our first sidle talks about the names that they would come up with and how Queen Victoria didn't care about children the first sidle also had a video for an example for what names the kids have and teachers.  Our next sidle talked about school punishments they went threw if they didn't go to church or messed a day of school teachers would make the worse punishments so that the child would think about what they did and so next time they come to church. The next sidle talks about the school teachers. School teachers back then were really cruel and not nice to the children also woman would get paid more then men. Our last sidle tells you facts and information about Queen Victoria a fact l found interesting was that 20th of June 1987 she was crowed queen. What I found this interesting because we got to learn about the history back in the older days. 

Foodprint

This week we had Michal Garvey from a business called Foodprint come and talk to us about food waste and how they made foodprint that provides food at lower prices instead of wasting it. Foodprint is a app that is a social enterprise that helps people and the planet to be aware of the waste we are creating because 1.3 billion tones of food is wasted then ends up in land fills. Foodprint is a environmental friendly place for all people to come and get low prices for food so that they aren't wasted. Did you know that Overproduction means 1/3 of food that is produced is wasted every year which is 1.3 billion tonnes of food ? In NZ 20 million loaves of bread are wasted a year think about the time and efforts that are but into making all of the loaves like trying to have all resources. She also talked to us about Naming a business is really hard and even she found it hard to find a name for her own business she came up with the name Foodprint because her friend said it one day when they were out for dinner. We learnt some much from Michal and know how much food waste matters.

Manaiakalani Film Festival

This week were went to the 12th Manaiakalani Film Festival. The Manaiakalani Film Festival is a place for all students and school's to create videos that teach and help other students at school's. We first went and got our partners from room 6 and 7 my parent was Aria she was really sweet and nice we looked after these partners for the whole day while we were out at Sylvia park Moives which was the place where all the films that schools made our shown on the big screen. We sat next too our partners on the bus and looked after them we got there and held there hands and made our way to the movies we got there and we picked a sit for our partners and we year 7 and 8s got to sit on the vip sits which were really nice too sit on me, Mele, Angela and Maritea all sat on one chair it was okay because the chairs were really big and they could rise up. My favorite flim was the Never give up by Glen Taylor school : Room 13 l enjoyed watching this flim because it taught us to never give up on anything and face your challenges.   

Financial Literacy

Today for Math we were learning about Financial Literacy. This means making careful and sensible choices with your money. We started with understand the meaning of what Financial Literacy then we wrote the description which was where we had to write down what we had to sell, money in which was the price of the item you had to sell, money out which is the amount of money you would lose and the balance which was the total of everything. I was playing with Angela and we were adding up our balances at the end we found that Angela made the most money but had a big amount so that meant that she overdraft she didn't make a profit. l made 108 dollars and taking away 70 dollars for rent l ended up with 38 dollars. 

Tech

This week for Tech we were following our instruction papers to see where we left off from last week. l first got all my wood and things to make my piano l started  measuring my two pieces of wood so l could have two joints on both woods then l used the sore to cut down to the half line. l then moved on and started using a mallet to hit onto the chisel so that l could cut threw the half way line all the way threw to the other side. l had another wood which would go in the middle and join both of the woods together. That's what l did this week and hope to finish most of the piano next week.
