Te kinga's big day out

Yesterday our class, Te Kinga went on a big day out. Nic put us into five groups I was with Blake and Kaelyn, after that we started walking to the Velinski track with Blake and Solomon dong the traps. there were nothig in the traps sadly, but we did do some first aid training. After that walk we started to walk to the swing bridge track. On the track we came across a fairy garden, which was pretty creative. After that we went to the lake side and we split into to groups and made a hut with a tarp as a roof. We all had to fit in the hut. Alice filled up a bucket and threw it on both huts, ours got destroyed. Next we lit some fires and ate some s'mores. Finaly we than had about a thirty minute play, then it was time to go. We then packed up all our stuff and started to walk back to school.

 

Today we have been captioning our camp photos and this is one of the ones I did. Most of them are quit funny, i'm not quit sure about this one though. What do you think?

People Smart.

For topic last week my group and I did people smart. We had to do two activities. The first activity was we had to take some cups filled with water on one foot and with one hand to the tray. We lined up then we passed it to each other until they all got to the tray. When we finished that, the next activity was to find water from around the school but it couldn't be from any taps. We found a big puddle even though it was a sunny day. We had to fill a little yellow bucket and a big red bucket with water, we filled the big red bucket up to the top. Then we used a measuring cup to see how much water we had collected. That's what my group and I did for people smart.

Do you think that you could do any of these activities?

Topic

 Today when we were doing topic my group had to take a photo of water or something to do with water on the Ipads. It took us around about 10 minutes to find a picture about water. When we got a photo we edited it and then we sent it to our own chrome books so we could have it on our chrome books. When we all did that Nic sent us a doc. When we received it we put the best photo we had onto the doc and write our name under our own photo.

That is what we did for topic.

Have you taken a photo of water before?

What I'm looking forward to this Term

This Term i'm looking forward to play this new game called Handball which is a sport were doing this Term. Handball is a combination of Netball and Basketball. I like learning about new sports as well as learning new skills. I don't know how to play Netball but I know how to play Basketball. I like to learn how to do new passes and about how to play some Netball.

Mount Te Kinga climb

 Last week on Thursday we climbed mount Te Kinga. When we all got to school our teacher told us all about the mountain and the safety rules as well as what were going to do there. She told us which car we were going in to get there.  After a while Zaine and me got in grandmothers car. when we got there we started to climb up the mountain. It was really muddy. It took us about fifty minutes to get to the second look out. When we got to the second look out we had a little snack. Then we headed back down. When we finally got down the mountain, we got into our togs and went into the lake and had a swim. After that Blake and I made a fire and so did other people. Then we got four marshmallows each and cooked them on the fire. Then we went back to the cars got changed and went back home.

natural disaster

 We did a narrative writing last week about a natural disaster story. It took a really long time for all of us to write and finish it. When we all finished our stories we acted them out. We acted them to see if there were mistakes to be fixed or to if they could be acted out by us. After we finished that we are going to publish them on our computer. It took most of us three days to finish it. Mine is about a Tsunami, here is a picture of a Tsunami:

  

sports

At athletics we were the first school there. The year sixes started with the long distance 1000 metres run. It was really cold when we got there. But when It was half way through It got much more warmer. We were at athletics practically for the whole day. there were sausages for two dollars and water for one dollar. sports is really fun .there is all sorts of stuff you do for sports. The value of sports is to keep your self fit and active.

 We've been learning about rocks and how they're made. We looked at the three main types of rocks which are Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic. Igneous rocks are formed in volcanoes like Tuff, Obsidian and Pumice. Sedimentary rocks are formed in lakes rivers and the ocean. Metamorphic rocks are formed when great pressure and heat deep inside the earth mix the different types of rocks together, or change rocks forms.

Why mistakes are Important for learning

Mistakes help you learn something new. Because If you make a mistake somebody might come and help you and it will make you know how to do It properly and not make a mistake next time. Like if I make mistake In Athletics someone will tell me I did a mistake and maybe show me how to do It properly.
