Wheels Day

Talofa Lava blogging world,

On Monday the whole school had a fun day/wheels day. It was a very hot day but everyone had fun. There were games, a water slide,the pool and a free wheels time session. We were in 3 groups and rotated around so we could try everything. Wheels were optional. We also played two different games in our groups with the teachers. We played capture the flag ( it was actually a ball ) and T-Ball. 

My favourite part was the slip and slide because it was really fun and I had fun with my friends. I think it's important that we spend as much time as we can with our friends before we leave. Thanks for reading my blog. Feel free to comment below and read the rest of my amazing learning.

2017 Netball Fiasco

Hello blogging world,

On Wednesday the 27th in term 3 the netball team had a little party/prize giving. We had a blast. It started at 6:00 and ended around 6:30. We had lollies, pizza, drinks, coloured popcorn, music and there were heaps of awards. Kayci ( one of my friends and an amazing netball player ) got player of the season! She really deserved it because she works really hard during netball games and training. There were heaps of other awards, you can find out in the slide below. I got 2 awards and everyone got a badge. One was for playing on Saturday's and the other one was for playing in zones.

I'm really happy we had a prize giving/party for our netball team. I am really proud of what we have achieved. If you want to find out our scores you can find out in my other blog post further down. I loved playing netball and representing. Be sure to check out my other netball post too. I'm really sad that it's now over but I really enjoyed the seasons.

Gala Day Reflection

Hello blogging world,

This term we had a celebration day. It was held at our school on the 25th of November. It went from 10:00 - 3:00. The Gala Day was really fun. All the hard work payed off. There were performances, games, prizes to be won, toys, a water slide, face paint, ticket booths and the most important thing that attracted the most people...
FOOD!!! 
\We had to do a slide about the six thinking hats and reflect on the Celebration Day. Have a look at my slide show below! 

Preparation For The Gala Day

Hello blogging world,

I'm back with another exciting blog post. This term we have been working really hard for our Gala Day. It would be great if you could come along to the Gala day. The Waikowhai Primary Schools Gala day is on the 25th of November. Manukau ( my class ) are making recycled paper. We learned how to make recycled paper and started to make Christmas and Birthday cards to sell on the day. We are also making seed bombs. Our Gala day is based on sustainability. Here are the instructions for making recycled paper below.

What you will need:
Ripped paper, water, big container, window screen, photo frame, paper towels, bag and something to mix with/hand mixer. 
How to make recycled paper
Step 1. Getting Ready
First we have to rip up heaps of paper that have been already used and put it into a bag. 
Step 2. Making the pulp
Next we make pulp. Place some paper in a bucket, about half way. Pour the same amount of water in. Mix it together with a mixer or potato masher. Keep on going until it feels all mushed up and 
Step 3. Making the paper
Tip the pulp into a big container. Pour some water in ( it doesn't matter whether it's cold or hot). Put the window screen in between the two frames. Hold it tight. Put it in the water mixture and scoop some paper out. Carefully take the window screen out and flip it upside down onto a cleaning towel. Slowly peel the window screen of and allow your paper to dry. When it is dried you are done!

Here is a presentation below!


It's easy making recycled paper. The hard part is making enough cards to sell at the Gala day. We have also made some posters to hang around the school. I really enjoy making recycled paper and making Christmas cards too. I can't wait until the Gala Day! Feel free to comment and check out the rest of my learning!

Maths Fun

Hello blogging world,

For the past few weeks for maths we had to use our imagination because we got given a math challenge. We pretended that we were going on a 11 day vacation. We had to book flights, caravans, hotels and ferries. It has all the places I went to and how much it costs. Have a look at my work below.

I learnt that the fun things are the most expensive. I enjoyed doing all the activities in this slide.  My total cost was $4470.69!

Most of my friends spent more. Feel free to comment down below and look at the rest of my learning!

My Awesome Novel Study

Hello blogging world,

In the past few weeks we have been working on a book review. We go to choose a book out of 2. My options were Cool Nukes and Sunken Forest both by Des Hunt. I chose Sunken Forest because I it looked really interesting. It took me a while to read the whole book but I got there. The story was about a boy named Matt. He moves to his Nana's house because his Farther is in prison. Along the way he meets heaps of problems. Find out how it ends in the book...

Have a look at my book review down below!

This is my 3rd book review that I have completed so I got the hang of it easily. I was able to finish all the activities in the slides. It was kind of hard completing all the activities in time. It was easy finding the time to finish of since I take my chromebook home. Feel free to comment down below and have a look at the rest of my learning.

Novel Study

Hello Blogging world,

for the past 2 weeks we have been working on a Book Review / Novel Study. I had to read the book Sunken Forest by Des Hunt. We were asked to do a slide and complete all the activities on it. I haven't finished the book yet but I'm nearly there. I haven't completed all the activities yet but here is on of the activities from a slide. Further below is a picture of the book if you were wondering. 

I really like this book so far and I definitely think that you should read it. This book is for people who love adventure. It was kind of hard finding the time to read it but I'm almost there. It was easy doing the activities because I was really into the book and I enjoyed it too. Comment down below if you have read this book or if you are interested and don't forget to check out the rest of my learning below.
