12 Days of Christmas kiwiana

 I learnt how to create a different version of the twelve days of christmas and the lots of kiwi things that they eat.

I enjoyed singing it with my group because it had a good tune and we have good voices.

It was challenging finding the right background and recreating the words in a kiwiana version.

It was easy cooperating with my group because they don't mess around and get the mahi done.

Next time I will try to change the words for a different country.

The Squirrel Chase

Today I learnt how to make a good descriptive paragraph in present tense.

I enjoyed watching creating the background because I added the squirrel in myself on the title page.

It was challenging writing the story because I am not that good at describing things.

It was easy creating the slide because I have done it many times before.

Next time I will try to write a little more because I think it could've made it more descriptive.

Christmas

I learnt how to crop images that were from the explore tool because I remembered how to do it with a normal shape then did the same thing.

I enjoyed doing the christmas table because of the food and sparkling grape juice.

It was challenging doing the sparkling grape juice and the cup because I had never tried before.

I found it easy getting pictures off of the explore tool because I have used the explore tool for a long time.

Next time I will put a picture of steam pudding on the table because my Dad makes the best steam pudding.

The Maori and English Names for Colors

 We were learning about Nga Tae which are the Te Reo names for colors.

Reflection of New Learning from Bikes in Schools Program

we were recapping about how to write quality recounts so I chose the topic of bikes in schools. Bikes in schools is a program which teaches kids how to be safe and know the rules on how to use there bikes properly.

We were learning about bikes with the bikes in schools program they taught us a variety of things about bikes and helmets that some of us had not known about. Like to keep your bunny ears on your brakes by putting two fingers on the front and the back brake.

I found it easy to Ride the bikes because I was taught when I was five. the bike check was also easy because they put into some of the letters in the alphabet A for air pressure B for brakes c for chain d for direction and Q for quick release.

I found it challenging to pass people when they were going slow because there were lots of corners on the track. It was also challenging to go on the pump track because there was only allowed 3 people at a time and because it was hard to enter the pump track.

Next time I will try to get on the pump track more often because I was to scared to go on because it was diagonal. I will also try to get as much laps of the track in as I can.

The Awapuni School Fun Run

 Fun Run                     30/07/20




I sat down excitedly on the blue mat as I was looking at all the activities that had been prepared for us for the fun run. But I wasn’t very excited because I knew our turn wasn’t till 11:50. Seconds later I was playing hand games with my friends Zane , Ceejay , Archie and Rautaki because I didn’t know what else to do. We were playing a game called chopsticks. After that Ceejay and I stood up and went to cheer on Team Pukeko because my sister Quinn is in Team Pukeko and Ceejay and I wanted to watch her do the fun run. She slipped on the slip n slide , crawled under the cargo net and stepped through the mud pit.


Now it was Team Weka's turn and me and Ceejay were cheering them on as they dove into the mud pit and scrambled under the cargo net. Lot’s of other people were cheering too and there were also lot’s of laughter. As Team Weka was racing lot’s of people were playing hand games because they felt bored. I felt pretty bored so I started playing hand games too but this time instead of playing chopsticks I played battle ship’s with Archie.


When it was our turn we walked over to the blue which was our starting point and we started we sprinted through the color leaped over the tyres and looped around the maze. Then I did a manu into the mud pit then I slid on my back on the slip n slide whooo I yelled. After that Our turn was done So I got up and went and sat down on the blue mat.



We were learning about writing quality recounts about the Awapuni school fun run.

Kayaking at Archie's.

Kayaking at Archies
16.3.20
Splash! Went mana as he happily jumped off the pontoon while we were the brightly colored kayaks into the river. Once we hopped in the kayaks we started paddling around a couple of bends.We arrived at the humongous rope swing we all struggled to get to because we had to swim to it. I was clinging on a log with all my might trying to pull myself up then I finally did it.

While I was holding onto the rope swing I was quite scared about what was going to happen then I counted myself in ( 3 2 1) then I jumped and held on till I reached the peak of my swing and let go and made a ginormous splash!!!  I swam back to the shore once I got back mana jumped off a twelve point five foot tree then pin dropped into the water.Then it was Archie’s turn on the rope swing he swang until the peak of his jump then splashed and Rautaki did the same.

 We headed back paddling past the same bends and then...splosh! I got hit in the face by a blue and green water gun “ hey what was that for “ I said at what had happened. We headed back to the house.

Then changed into dry clothes and started biking up and down the road estaticly as we went through puddles.
