Jonah Lomu!!

This is my Famous in Aotearoa person. I did a person from the rugby slide that Mrs. Kennedy had put together for us, I did Jonah Lomu. I worked hard to get my information done then put that information on to my writing in google docs and then presenting it in a nice way. I think I worked really well and I think it looks really good!!

Soup!!

This week I joined the cooking workshop option

On the first day, we learned all the things we don't do in the kitchen and all the hazards that could be caused in the kitchen.

On the second day, we prepared all our food and put all our vegetables in the pot ready to cook in the morning. We also did a little word hunt and had to find words about things around the kitchen.

On the third day, we served the soup and ate it. It was very very yummy and I think I can make it at home with my Mum because it’s pretty easy. Thank you to Mrs. M and Christine for helping us make soup and cooking it for us to eat.  

The part I liked the most was preparing the soup and eating it because it was very yummy and I loved the taste.

Whetū Workshops Reflection

During Term 2 and 3 the Whetū students have had the opportunity to be involved in a range of different workshops.

The workshop that I have enjoyed participating in the most has been drama because I loved the humor that the groups I was in brought to it and I just loved it because it was super duper fun!!

The new learning that I have learnt is that lemon juice explodes better with baking soda than vinegar does because it filled the balloon up more and it just had a better result than the vinegar.

What I have most enjoyed about the workshops are the amazing teachers teaching us how to do the workshops properly and how fun it was.

I am interested in learning more about how to make pompom birds better and work better because for me I just couldn't figure out how to do it without it coming apart very easily.

My Pop Art!!

This term we have been doing a type of art called Pop Art. My group had to do Kiwiana art and we could pick anything that was Kiwiana. I did Marmite and I finished today, here it is!! 

Cross Country Reflection 2020

This year I participated in the NPS Cross Country held at school on the Ngatea Domain.  I ran in the 11-year-old age group.

I am most proud of running as far as I could before I felt like I needed to walk for a little bit. I pushed myself even if I needed a break, I just kept running because I knew I could do more. In the end, I finished and I got through to Hauraki Plains.

I think my effort towards our training at school was very good and when we went out for training I was determined to do better than the day before and push myself to run as far as I could.

I showed the Learning Power of Resilience by not stopping if I wanted a break because I knew I could do more. I showed Resilience by finishing the race even though it was tough and hard I finished with a smile.

Maths Mahi Investigation Week 4

This is my Maths Mahi for this week. We had to watch a video about what a net is and once we had finished the video we had to fill out a worksheet about matching the net to the shape. For me it was pretty easy but also very fun to do as well. Once we had finished that we were allowed to make 3D shapes but I didn't get time to finish mine since I wasn't here on Wednesday. This was a very fun activity to do and I enjoyed it a lot!

Week 3 Whetu Challenge - Create a cartoon character

Today for our Whetu Challenge we had to get into our learning constellation groups and pick a cartoon that was upon the TV, some of the cartoons that were there were: Simpsons, Peppa pig, Mickey mouse, Incredibles, etc.

Me and my group did the Simpsons, I did Maggie (the baby Simpson) it turn out how I wanted it to turn out but I got it finished in the end and that's what matters.

This challenge was very very hard but my group and me did very well it get it finished although two of our group members didn't quite finish in time.

We tried to make it as realistic as we could and I think we did a pretty good job.
The people in my group were Oscar, Lola BS, Ihipera, Franklin, Cullen, Alex, and Me.

I worked really hard on my character because I kept failing and I accidentally kept double-clicking or clicking too close to the last line so it kept ending before I was finished.

Here are my group's creations.

Maths Mahi - Investigation - Week 3

This is my Maths Mahi Investigation for this week. We had to do some things about symmetry and after we watched a video about symmetry we had to do some of our own. We picked out two pieces of paper that Mrs Kennedy had printed off for us with one side that already had a drawing, and with following the dots that were on the paper we had to try make it symmetrical.
