End of year reflections 2020

 This year for school it started off quite good but then Covid-19 started getting worse and we had to go into lock down and stay home for maybe three months, we did school using google meets this also meant we had more time without school and reading was my favourite subject over lock down. This is because during reading we read a chapter of harry potter and the philosophers stone and did a kahoot about it each day. The next big event over the year was definitely when we needed to use sanitizer everyday when we entered and exited school. Then we had 3 days of camp during this we did animal survival where we learnt about our native animals there was also swimming zip lines trampolines and even mini golf!!! Later in the school year (term 4, recently) we had top team! At top team the year 0-3's did their's in the morning and the year 4-6's had theirs in the afternoon I am a year five so I was with the year 4-6's. We did nine different activities and there was 18 groups, as you can probably guess there was two teams at a challenge. 

Here is some photos 

Top Team 2020

Lats week on friday we had top team. For top team we got into I think 18 different teams, this wasn't the whole school it was separated by year 0-3 first and then year 4-6 last. There was a bunch of challenges and my favourite was the one where you throw the gumboot at the target. Overall top team was fun challenging and very tiring.

Camp 2020

For the past three days we have been at camp. My favourite part of camp was animal survival where there was four different teams and we had to be carnivores or herbivores and we had to survive and collect these stamp things kinda like orienteering. The most challenging thing at camp was definitely the walk there. At the beginning of camp I felt energetic and excited... at the end I felt like I could just go to bed. At camp I learnt about our native animals and what its like to be one when we played animal survival because I was a wry bill.

Penguin Origami - Reading

 Today for reading we did penguin origami because we have been doing emperor penguin related topics recently. First we had to colour in one side completely black (serious dedication required), then make a whole bunch of different folds actually only about six but the colouring bit made it feel like a lot. (Also the picture is of mine and Cole's penguins, mine is the darker black one

Here's a picture:

Emperor penguin D.L.O

Sharks D.L.O - Reading

Sea Turtles To Inform - Writing

 For the past week in writing we have been writing to inform texts. In these we have to inform stuff about the topic and for me it was sea turtles. Mine included appearance, habitat, diet/food & protection. If you want to know about sea turtles read this text!!

Save The Sea Turtles

Introduction

Do you like sea turtles? Because they don't like us, this is because people hunt them and we need to stop it!

 

Appearance

Sea turtles have a tough shell that is mostly the reason they are hunted. Sea turtles have four flippers, wings whatever you want to call them poking out of their shell. The head of the sea turtle pokes right out the front and has a beakish like mouth. People hunt sea turtles for their shells and even eggs.

Habitat

Sea turtles live in almost every ocean basin throughout the world. They often live among coral reefs and seaweed. Sea turtles live among fish and other creatures. Unfortunately their habitats are being destroyed by humans. Sea turtles are often disappearing from their habitats thanks to hunters so stop killing the turtles.

Food/diet

Sea turtles eat many things like seagrass. Another thing on their diet is algae which is a food source that most sea creatures eat. Sponges are another thing they eat. Unfortunately sometimes plastic bags are mistaken for sponges by sea turtles and sadly when they eat one it cuts their life expediencies in half. 

Protection

Sea turtles' shells are their best protection from other dangerous sea creatures. This is mostly because the shell is hard to break and what kind of sea carnivore would want to break through a shell just to eat? The shell may be a good thing for protection when it's sea creatures they are getting attacked by but not when it's humans. Humans hunt them for their shells so it's actually the opposite of protecting them.

Conclusion

Turtles are a water testudine with a tough shell that protects them. Sadly they still need rescuing from us, as people hunt and kill sea turtles so save the turtles!!

Lemon sugar scrub soap (edible) - Reading

 Yesterday for reading we made lemon sugar scrub which was from a recipe from a book. When we made it we got into three groups, two groups of four and one group of three. I was with: Tyler, Cole & Lennox. We first zested the lemons (optional) then Cole squeezed the lemon juice into a bowl well me and Lennox measured the sugar while Tyler zested the other lemons. Then Lennox and me poured the vegetable oil into the bowl with the sugar. Then finally we put the lemon juice into the bowl and took turns mixing it together.

Here's a picture!:

Ki O Rahi - P.E

Today for P.E (kinda P.E) we did Ki O Rahi, Which is a complicated game in which you have to be on a team, (I forgot what they are called) and you have to navigate your way around a big pitch which has marked areas and try to wither hit the bucket with a ball that touched up to 7 poles or score a try running through the other teams zone the ball can touch up to 7 poles.

Calendar Art - Kandinsky Circles

 For calendar art this term I chose Kandinsky circles. We were doing silhouettes on our paintings, I chose a cactus for my silhouette. Kandinsky circles we need a piece of paper and we paint circles and it would be good if you had a faint line so you can tell what size the circles will be otherwise they might too big or too small. I finished mine yesterday, but I am blogging it today.

Here it is:

Term 3 technology - Food (muesli bars)

Term 3 Technology - Food!

For Technology in the food group we have been making a big project to do with muesli bars. During this project we got into groups of 3, which was me Tyler.Re and Logan. We made up a name Crate but in the end we changed it to triple J because yeah crate wouldn't really work. Triple J was a good name but our food we only even made our food yesterday afternoon. Our recipe contained Peanut butter, chocolate (drizzled on top), strawberry's, coconuts & oats.

Triple J!!

The Riders Describe A Moment In Time - Writing

This week for writing we have been doing a describe a moment in time (i have done one before). This one was about some people riding in a canoe through a swamp, I titled mine The Riders because they are riding in the canoes. We had to plan the story and then we had to write a hook, once we had finished that we had to write three body paragraphs, when we had finished that as well as our hook we wrote our conclusions. After this long process we self-checked, partner-checked & teacher checked. Then we went on to write a blog post like this one.

Here it is

Ripple, ripple goes the water as the canoe glides through it. Some of the riders are paddling and some have their hands dangling in the water. Light comes through an opening in the canopy of trees allowing the riders to see their reflections in the depths of the water.

The riders paddle their canoes down the deep brown murky river. Some light is visible through the trees and it helps the riders to navigate. Plants are floating on the surface of the water, and trees are going off in all different directions of a small island. One canoe drifts off into the distance and the other canoe speeds up to keep it in view. The trees are blocking most of the light up ahead and soon there is barely any at all, but the canoeist carry on like it's perfectly bright even though it's not.

The water splashes as some of the people put their hands into the water. The water is rippling as the canoes glide down the swamp. Birds are tweeting and singing and frogs are croaking at the riders as they glide through the murky water. The riders are silent even though everything around them is making sounds including the water and creatures around them. Leaves on the trees rustle making it seem like there is something shaking them, although there is nothing but the wind. 

The people dip their hands into the water and they can feel the water splashing onto their arms. As some of the people paddle they can feel the current pushing against them. The riders can feel the smooth wood of the canoe when they touch it. As the canoe slowly drifts past the plants the riders outstretch their hands to touch them. The riders canoes speed through the swamp and when the riders stretch their hands out they can touch trees, plants and even dirt from the island. 

The riders finally hear the soft clunk of the canoe hitting the island. The riders reach their final destination completing their voyage. They feel happy. They feel complete.

Metaphors - Writing mini lesson

 Today for writing we were doing a mini lesson about metaphors. Metaphors are similar to similes (previous mini lesson) Metaphors don't use like or as but the compare something. First we had to type in the meaning of some given metaphors then we had to make up our own similes for some pictures.

Drones deserve a position in our future (to persuade) - Writing

For writing recently we have been writing persuasive text to persuade someone to agree with me, and mine is that drones deserve a position in our future. While writing this text I learnt that debates and persuasive text go together because in debates you argue about something and then you have to both go away and make up reasons to decide which one is better.

Here it is:

Drones Deserve A Place In Our Future

Do you think drones have a place in our future? 

Because I strongly believe that drones deserve a position in our future. They have a hawk's eye view of the sky, they could make traffic better, they could be used to clear car pollution and could be used for safety rescue teams.

Firstly, I believe drones could clear up traffic because they could be used to deliver deliveries like for example companies could make drone deliveries. I also believe this because someday drones might be able to hold people and this could mean that there will be less people using cars and less traffic for those who still do. I strongly believe that drones will make traffic better by taking care of deliveries and that will mean less courier vans, less cars and less traffic. In fact drones might even be used to make flying cars because they can fly and might be able to hold someone someday.

Secondly, drones could help police and rescue teams by helping police search around unreachable areas. Rescue teams could be helped by drones because they would help find lost people because they are smaller and able to fit in tighter spaces. In fact rescue teams could even use them instead of helicopters for a sky view of the target. Police could also use them to follow criminals or track people, this could lead to helping many lost or hurt people. Do you now think that drones could help rescue teams and police?

Finally, drones could reduce car pollution. As mentioned earlier drones could clear up traffic and less cars means less pollution from cars. Cars also give greenhouse gases which could make global warming even worse. Car pollution is also bad for the environment and people are testing electric cars but what if we used drones? Drones could even be the thing that could stop global warming. Also drones might even be used to make flying scooters or bikes.

In conclusion, drones could help a lot of people ranging from police to people who hate traffic, drones also could clear up car pollution as they could replace cars. Drones deserve a place in our future because they will help a lot of people. So do you now think drones have a place in our future?

The evolution of scooters - writing to inform

This week for writing we have been writing to inform the reader e.g give them info about the topic like did you know that scooters were invented by kids? Have you ever done writing like this before? because we have done stuff like this in the past.



Here it is

The Evolution Of Scooters



Introduction

Have you ever wondered what scooters used to be like?



Well Scooters have changed a lot since they were first invented. Did you know the first scooter was invented by kids? Scooters have gone from wooden frames with roller skates for wheels to electric scooters controlled by your phone. You may have seen a lava, beam, lime or flamingo scooter on the footpath, these are electric scooters placed by people, so others can get to places without walking.




Appearance

Scooters have changed a lot over the years especially in appearance, scooters have changed colours textures and even wheels. Designs have changed too like how if you get a normal scooter one that you control by yourself (not electric) and compare it to a lime scooter (an electric scooter) the setup will look very different like a lime scooter is wider and bigger and won't fall over while riding, where a normal scooter will be smaller. Have you ever seen 2 scooters of different colours right next to each other, well if you haven’t often schools or parks will have a few scooters there. Scooters will feel different sometimes because of their textures, a texture is how something feels like something might be scratchy or smooth that would be a texture and a scooters handlebars or stand that you put your feet on might be textured. Scooters have changed multiple times, but it is possible many more changes in appearances are coming.




Types

Scooters have changed in types over the years. Scooters started out with scooters you probably will have seen which is a kick scooter, the scooter you propel by pushing your foot on the ground. A scooter you might have seen is an electric scooter that includes lime, beam, lava & flamingo scooters. These are scooters controlled by devices and the 4 electric scooters mentioned above are controlled by an app on your phone. You also may have heard of a moped a sort of motorbike like scooter it's a type of scooter used on roads because of its similarities to a motorbike.






History

Scooters have a long line of history because they were invented in 1817. Most people own kick scooters because electric scooters are expensive. Electric scooters often found on a sidewalk have been around for quite a while too. Scooters are also used for racing even though they aren’t as fast as motorbike or cars they are still used for racing. Scooters are now for not only kids nowaday as well, this means adults use them as well.



Conclusion

Scooters are an often human powered vehicle used to make getting from place to place easier, do you use a scooter to get from place to place faster?

the rainy season is known to Maori as Te Matariki Tapuapua.

Keeping it in balance - inquiry & health

Today for health we did keeping it in balance.

We had to use a pie chart (from google sheets) and answer a few questions about our balance e.g Do i have a good balance in my life?

To keep this in balance we need to keep a check on:

• What we eat
• How much exercise we get 
• how we keep our brain active
• how we relate to our family and friends
• how we spend time alone

I have a pretty good balance what about you?

Miss Mclelland.

I felt excited to try and find all of the posts as we walked away from the start of the orienteering course. We walked towards the first post to see what it had on it, it said EH on it so we wrote it on the sheet and then looked at the map to see which way to go, i was curious how hard the rest of it might be. I said to the rest of our group “look there is the next one”, it said SJ on it. It was a hot Friday and I was drained of energy and we were only up to the 13th post. I said “Can I see the map?” “Yes,” replied Miss Mclelland.

Once we were done with the first course we had morning tea.I had a pack of chips and a bar to eat. Once we had finished our morning tea we got ready to do the second course which Miss Jones was taking us not Miss Mclelland. We started walking towards the first post when we found that it had the letters XD, after that we looked at the map and kept on moving.

We had to stop for a drinking fountain a few times because people were thirsty from all the walking we had done. I thought to myself lucky I brought my drink bottle. We stopped for a rest after a while of walking. I said “Miss Mcleod's group are so far ahead of us we probably won’t be able to get back before they do ''. When we finish the second course we sit down to eat our lunches that we brought to the quarry. I ate two sandwiches and two mint chocolate biscuits. I said “this course is so hard as we start the third and final course.

25 minutes later we finish the course, i feel tired and defeated us we finish but at least it is over, i wish i bought a bigger lunch to give me more energy.
