Visual Mihi

This week in Te Ngahere we made a visual mihi. I chose these images because they remind me of the kupu in the mihi. These images also help me remember the mihi because they remind me of the kupu and how the mihi is said. These images also help me understand it better which helps me a lot.

Writing Goals

Last week in Te Ngahere we created our Writing Goals. The WALT was to identify our next learning goals in writing. I chose these goals because I needed to use them more often in my writing.

Maths Goals Term 4

Last Week in Te Ngahere we created our Term 4 Maths Goals. We had to pick three maths goals off of our I Can that we wanted to learn. The purpose of me choosing these maths goals is because  I didn’t know how to do those maths strategies and I want achieve stage six. After we chose our goals we put them onto a google drawing to present them.

William Pike

Last week in Te Ngahere we made a google drawing about William Pike. On our google drawings we had to answer questions and gather up information about him. We also watched a webinar that William Pike hosted, he talked about his life and experiences. He also showed us a slideshow of his that he created about his trip to Antarctica.

The box Jellyfish is the most venomous marine animal known to mankind. Box Jellyfishes are considered the most venomous marine animals in Australia. They have a danger rating that is ten out of ten.

For the last couple of weeks I have been writing my informational report. I wrote about two of Australia's animals, the box jellyfish and the eastern brown snake. My WALT was WALT use topic sentences.

Last week Te Ngahere made google drawings about Proper nouns and Common nouns. Our WALT was to use common and proper nouns. We got to choose if we wanted to work in pairs or by ourselves. I worked with Missy and this is our google drawing.

Matariki Whanau Day

Last week on Thursday, Paihia School had a whanau day to celebrate Matariki. Some people woke up early in the morning to get ready for school and then they came to school at 6.30 a.m The people that woke up early in the morning walked down to the beach to gaze at the Matariki stars

Waitangi Treaty Grounds

Last week on Tuesday Paihia School walked to The Waitangi Treaty Grounds. We got to play fun games and do cool activities such as weaving manu aute and planting trees. We had a fun and awesome day at the Treaty Grounds, I enjoyed it.

Fidget Spinner Art

A few weeks ago Te Ngahere and Te Maunga made fidget spinner art. We were learning to use, space, crayon and dye. We used A3 paper to draw our fidget spinners, we had to use as much space as we could. To me, drawing the fidget spinners were kind of hard because there would be lines that are longer than the other and circles that are bigger than the others.

Ice Cream

A few weeks ago Te Ngahere made Ice Cream. We got to make Ice Cream because we got 100 percent on our learning plans, we got to work with a buddy and my buddy was Ocean. We had fun making the ice cream, but the ice cream was a bit salty. On Monday we then had to write a recount about our experience from Friday. I was learning to use metaphors and parentheses.

Surf Safe!!

This is my surf safe presentation, I wrote down ten facts you need to remember when you are at the beach and also my reflection. I think I need to improve on saying stuff in my own words.

The Tryathlon!

At the Tryathlon everyone took part in a swim, run and bike. First we had to do the swim, then we had to run from the beach back to school, get on the bike and bike twice around the field.

Beach Clean Up!!!

At beach clean up everyone found a lot of cigarette butts. Their was a competition on how many cigarette butts to be found, I think the most cigarette butts was 150, I think.

My Learning PowToon!!

This is my learning PowToon, I did mine about my maths. I think I could’ve improved on  explaining it better but I didn’t know how to, I think that I did good in timing and editing.

The Tangelo!

The Tangelo

As I breathed in and then out I admired the smell of the fresh tangelo. As the smell crept up my nose I thought about what it smelt like. I thought to myself, orange? But then I said no? Fresh air? No? It smelt like Orange and fresh air put together! I swept my fingers across the wavy, bumpy skin, there were little black dots on the tangelo, they made the tangelo look like it had black freckles. I carefully dug my thumb underneath the the fresh skin and began to peel. When I was finished I took a piece off and stuck it into my mouth I bit it and the juice poured down my throat, FRESHNESS!

The End.

This is my Tangelo writing, my goal was to use descriptive words, I also needed to use similes. I think I need to work on similes because I only used one.

That Was Summer By Arihia

Tuesday 7th February 2017

I Remember…

(where: Jump Trampoline Park Avondale)
(when: Summer holidays)

I Remember …

Bouncing side to side on the big bouncy trampolines.
Forward flipping and crazy cartwheeling all over the place,
Jumping into the fun foam pit and jumping off the big beam.
It looked fun and it was very fun!
I bounced on the terrific trampoline where the basketball hoop was, I picked up a ball, bounced up high and slammed the ball into the hoop!
Then I dropped onto the trampoline and called out to my brother to help me up.
Then I thought let’s go and try climb the wall.
That was my Summer.

I was learning to write a descriptive piece of writing. I wrote a  piece of descriptive writing that described my summer holidays. In my writing I think I did well in the structure, I also think I need to improve on using more descriptive words.
