Play,Make,Create

 

This week for Play, Make, Create. Cohen and I made a jacket full of positions and tools to help witches. We made four potions and three tools. The potions three potions were change color and one was vomit and the tools were a funnel, Graber, and a wand. We used sharpies and cardboard and some buttons. I think we did a supernova.

Play make create

 For this play make create a bag for survival. In it, it has a torch, knife, compose, water bottle, tent, and a map.  the hardest part was coloring it all. The easiest part was drawing everything. The most challenging part was deciding what to do. I think I did a supernova.

Whetu challenge

 For this week's whetu challenge I worked with Nathan, Ryan, and Kert. The most challenging bit was making it stand up. The tower did not end up standing up but I still had fun. The easiest bit was putting the tape on the tower. The funnest bit was stacking up the paper. But I still think I did a supernova. 

Brush it

Play, make, create

 

This is what I did for play, make, create. The name of the story was Theodore they unsure. Nathan, Danny, and I made a mini barber set. We made hair spray, comb, scissors, razer, and some shaving cream. I think we did a good job. I think the hardest part was the hair spray. The easiest part was making the box. The most challenging part was taping stuff instead of the hot glue.  I think we did a supernova.

Kite day

 

This is Danny's and my kite that we had made for kite day. Danny and I used some duck tape, bamboo, string, and some plastic for the body of the kite. The thing that I would have changed would be the tape and the tail other than that I would not change anything else. I worked with Danny. I think Danny and I did a great job. The most challenging part was putting the tape around the kite to make it stronger. The easiest bit was cutting out the plastic stuff. I think Danny and I did a supernova.

Play, make, create

This week for Play, make, create. I did the ultimate hangout. I worked with Johan. We did a half pip, rugby field, swimming pool, movie room, arcade, pool table, pc setup, and a bar that sells coke and fizzy. Jhan worked on the left side and I worked on the right side. I think Johan and In did a great job the thing I would have addede would be a spare, tramp, and a basketball hoop if we had more space. I think we did a great job.   

Play, make, create Be you

 

I created a treasure chest with a map and some beds which are coins and a key to unlock it. I did the make for play, make, create. We read a book called Be you and that's what gave me an idea.  I worked by myself and I think I did a good job. The thing that worked the best was the key and the chest. I think I would like to change the cardboard into wood for more strength. I think I did a supernova.

Times Table rock stars

Term 2, Week 1 2021

During Term 1 we have been practicing our addition and subtraction knowledge through the online program called NumBots.  At the start it was super easy but progressively got more challenging.

I am now on the Chrome level of NumBots.  

I enjoy NumBots because I like doing the challenges and getting hire and improving on my pluses and takeaways. My favorite thing is to play the challenges.

What I find challenging is probably the takeaways and counting the little pipes.  

This week we have started TTRockstars.  This is an online program which helps us to learn our timetables. First we had to complete 10 Studio games which were really hard because they had basic facts right up to 12 x 12. Now the hard part is over we can play in the Garage and start learning our tables.

I think that TTRockstars will be is fun and good for my learning and my mind.

The story for the play make create was up the river it was showing teamwork. Nathan and I made a boat that can drive in and out of the water. The thing that worked well was that we keep finding egg cartons which was good because the was going to be the boding of the boat. I would probably make the fire bigger.

Nathan and I made a happy wheel to show you if you are happy down sad and more stuff like that. You flick the arow and see what you are feeling. I think the hardest bit was finding out the names. I reckon Nathan and I did a supernova.

Whetu fun day

Whetu Fun Day

Last Thursday we had a Whetu Fun Day as our camp was postponed.  Our teachers planned a fun day for us instead!  We participated in a Whetu Amazing Race, a range of different fun rotations, a BBQ lunch, and play on the council playground then we finished the day with an Easter Egg hunt and an ice block.

My favorite part of the Amazing Race was reading the clues and trying to find where the number was. And the hardest egg to find was at the kinder garden but it turns out that it was outside kindergarten on the gate. I worked with Todd, Brooklyn, Noah, Nathan, Kian, and Danny.

The rotation I enjoyed the most was I in Mr. Kennedy's rotation because it was very challenging and karming because there were only 3 people there which was Cohen katlyen and me. I did a bunny rabbit. I used blue and yellow stripes of paper. I did not do stripes down the bottom because I forgot that I was doing stripes when I first started.

During the Easter Egg Hunt, I found my stick under a little bush. I went the opposite way that everyone else was going and it worked I looked at one bush and it was a blue popsicle stick it was my favorite color.

 

  

This is for our Play make create I worked with Nathan and we made a spring it was about the book we read witch was drafts cant dance and Nathan and I made a spring so other animals can eat the branches and leaves. 

I think I did a supernova.

 Week 5, Term 1, 2021

Monday was our school Swimming Sports. On the day I when I got to the ngatea pool I was so excited for the day I was a little nervous but mostly excited. When I was first called up I was not nervous anymore. When I dived off the diving board everyone was in front of me but then I just shout up in front of them and then came first place. and I came first 1st and 2nd. I came second in brethstroke, 1st in backstroke, freestyle, two length freestyle, and the relay team.

We had two art sessions this week and I got to finish off the nose and the eyebrows and started on my good copy for the art. I was only there for one day but I still got it all done and got to play around with some colors on my draft copy.  

In reading this week we have been ready world's worst teachers. We read about Mr pence and him hating balls. the reason why he hates balls is because when he was a little kid he was struck by a big wrecking ball and didn't wake up for a week and ever since then he hated balls and tock all the kid balls at the school.

Part of our maths program is NumBots and I think I am really good at it and I just got up to steel I am really proud of myself and where I am. But I don't think it is really hard. my am is for next week is to get to chrome.

Whetu Challenge

 My favorite thing about it was the Manuing pool in the box and the stick for the caterpillars hang their cocoon. 

The most challenging bit was finding and cutting out the box. I worked with Nathan and Johan it was super fun. 

My favorite feature on the box was how the box opened up and closed I love how it could do that.

I think I did a supernova.

Week 4, Term 1, 2021

 Week 4, Term 1, 2021

The most fun thing we have done during class time this week is play because  I played a big game of seaweed.

We started our art this week and I have chosen to do art with Mrs Heaven and Mrs Loft.  Our art is going to be a portrait of myself and I think it is going to look really cool.

We created our Whetū stars on Thursday and they look orange and yellow was my star color and it has photos of my family and some drawing on it and I think it looks amazing 

Next week we have our school swimming sports. I am feeling really confident, excited, and nervous and I can not wait for it.

Week 3, Term 1, 2021

Someone who has helped me with my learning this year is Nathan helped me with what is my strength for me, myself, and I slides.

The most fun thing we have done during class time is the Whetu challenge when I was doing the obstacle course.

The most fun thing that I have done at a play or lunchtime this year is playing with Nathan on the scooters and I learned a new trick. It is a 360 flat.

One word that describes learning in Whetu is FUN!!

Something I am looking forward to is going to the cut with Nathan this weekend and going on the sea biscuit and popping manus and staples.
