Character Questions

Hey Blog World, as part of our literacy tumble we hadto question a character of our choice in the text we read. I partnered up with my friend Faidhi. We screencastified me answering the questions he asked. I liked answering because I liked answering the ones he asked. It was hard because sometimes it was hard answering the questions. Heres the screencastify. Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to comment.

Poem

This term we had a poetry competition. We had to share a poem with relevant actions to go with it.  I liked doing it because I like doing drama/speaking out loud to a crowd. I didn't like that some people were speaking while the finalists were presenting their poems. But it was fun presenting my poem with my teachers and friends. After the poetry competition as part of our literacy tumble we had to screencastify us presenting our poem with the actions. I liked doing it because I got to see how I sounded like myself. Heres my screencastify. Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to comment.

Mt Ruapehu Ski Camp

Hey Blog World, the Senior Syndicate recently had their Mt Ruapehu Ski Camp. We spent 4 days there. On the first day, while on the way down we went to the Hamilton Gardens, Otorohanga Walkway and Taumarunui Elementery School. We had to find the names of the gardens at the Hamilton Gardens. It was a competition out of all the groups. We also had morning tea at the Hamilton Gardens. Then at the Otorohanga walkway we had to read the signs about New Zealand history and answer questions on the paper the groups were given. It was there we had lunch. Then at Taumarunui we had a play and a little snack before we got to the National Park Hotel to book our accomidation. When we got to National Park Hotel we set up our rooms. Then the next 2 days we had so much fun on the mountain.Then on the final day we went to the Taupo AC Baths. We stopped at Huka falls for sightseeing. After we visited the Hamilton Gardens again for a snack stop and for fresh air. This  was such a fun camp/experience. I loved snowboarding. But I didn't like waiting in lines because I just wanted to keep going up and down the mountain. But at the end of the day we had fun. I learnt so much at camp like how to zig zag, turn and stop on a snowboard. I learnt that I should be a little bit more patient with others. We made slides on the camp. These slides explain what we did, what we felt like and what activities we did. Heres my 2017 Mt Ruapehu Ski camp presentation. Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to comment.

Playground Tinkercad

Hey Blog World, today we got to create a a playground using tinkercad because Mr Riceman thought we should design a new junior playground because it was recently removed. When we finished making our playgrounds we had to screencastify it and explain all the angles. The hard bit was finding a quiet spot because other people were being noisy on the deck. I liked it because I liked designing the playground/equiptment. Heres my screencastify. Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to comment.

Student Led Toolkits

Hey blog world, this week I went with 24 other students in our school to New Windsor School. We had to either present or learn about something on our chromebook. I learnt how to do incredibox and play prodigy. Oscar, Sam and Bruno did a presentation about slides animation. Amie, Lily and Izzy did a presentation on how to create and play a kahoot. We had so much fun. We had competitions like the sphero edu programming game. We had to control a ball using an ipad. Then we zig zagged through cones. That was fun. They picked prizes after. Then we left. I loved the day. I enjoyed learning new things and meeting new people. Something hard was when it didn't make sense or my chromebook wasn't working properly. It was really annoying. But I still enjoyed myself. Heres a slideshow of the day. Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to comment.

Mountain Inquiry

Hey Blog world, this term for inquiry we've been learning about mountains. Te Waka Ako is learning about this because were going to Mout Ruapehu for camp. Part of our inquiry was writing down the snow code is at Mt Ruapehu. Those are the rules at the mountain we have to keep to be safe or to set an example to others. We had to create an infographic about it. I really enjoyed this because I liked writing it down and having fun with Piktochart. The hard bit was finding symbols for the rules/snow code. But eventually I found symbols for them. Heres my infographic and the snow code it's self. Hope you enjoy. Please Feel free to comment on my blog.

Choir Rehersal

This week the school choir went to Glen Eden Intermidiate. We had our second B choir practice. We went to learn a new set of songs. At choir rehersal we practiced standing up and sitting down. The songs we practiced were man in the mirror, time to say goodbye, Can't help falling in love, I'll be there and Jump jive and wail, mist on the river and in our childrens eyes. What I liked about it was having fun singing the songs. What I disliked was when we got in trouble and when the teachers got annoyed. We had fun doing it and there were only small incidents where people got in trouble. I had a fun day and in the end we got the job done and learnt the next few songs. I can't wait until the next rehersal.
