Term 3 Week 1

School holidays was very entertaining. My sister is 1 swimming group higher than me and we both swim for and hour, 2 times a week, in the holidays we get to swim in the same group. My mum got a new surfboard from sarah and johnny's mum. Me and my sister got to put a new surfboard sticker on our surfboard. Our surfboard brand is hendrix hers has a blue rim and my'n is bright yellow.

 I had a sleep over at my nana and poppa's house. They live in sterling park. I had stickers on the sliding glass door so I did not bang into it but we took them of, we have had them on the window since I was 3 so they were up to my hip. I slept in the spare bedroom with my sister Lucy.

In the holidays I jumped in a nine degree pool with my best friend Anais. We played a game called who can stay on the pool ring the longest without letting the other person tip you off. Anais won because I got to cold. We surprisingly didn't get sick. 

  

Week 12 2020

My parent teacher conference was on Tuesday at WBS (Wainui Beach School). I got lighthouse on all of our school values in our school report. My report was the best report have ever got at WBS (Wainui Beach School). I think my parent were pretty happy with my report.

I am in Koka Ngaire's EL3 (early level 3) maths group. Koka Terri's EL3  (early level 3) reading group. I am in Koka Ngaire's EL3 (early level 3) writing group. I really like workshops because the can help me with my priorities.

This weeks priorities are 2 maths workshop, 2 reading workshops, 2 writing workshops, matariki activities, just dance performance, bubble reflections, quality blog post, pepeha art and reading group work. My favourite priorite for this week is just dance performance. For the just dance performance I am doing timber with Kayla. Just dance is best thing I have done this week.

Week 11 blog post

This weeks priorities are really fun. They are Good menu, Bad menu, letter to board of trustees, new teacher letter. My favorite one is the menus. I don't really like to make my work all pretty but making a menu pretty is so enjoyable. 

Making menus, this is a really fun activity you can snazzy it a up (decorate). You can make your menu about anything like my menu was my favourite foods and least favourite foods. If you ever try making your own menu what would your restaurant be called? What is your least favourite food and favourite food?

Just dance is fantastic, my favorite dance is Waka Waka. My least favorite dance is Ra Ra Rasputin. 

You should definitely try just dance it is so fun. Do Waka Waka (4 player) High Clap (3 player).
This is my good menu.

Week 9 blog post

Just dance is really fun and you can do it for exercise.We have been doing just dance in MLH.
The first song we ever did was Waka Waka.
That song is my favourite because you get to make a human bike and I get to be the one riding the bike.

Just dance is one of my favourite activities that I have done at WBS.
My sister loves to dance so she would do the same song over and over and over.
You can find just dance on youtube.
Some moves are really tricky like Ra Ra Rasputin we have been doing.

I like doing just dance because I get to be in a team with my friends.
My group I am uscally in is Te Atawhai, Nina and Kayla. I recommend that you try just dance.
We do just dance for 10 minutes. My least faviourite song is Ra Ra Rasputin.

Week 6/5

                                                                   Math:

This year has been my favorite year so far at WBS. I had a maths workshop. The workshop was about how much we know about geometry.

I only knew a little bit of geometry. Like 2D and 3D shapes. I learnt about polygons and what they are.

that was in strand with Koka Joe. In a little workshop I did word problems just so the teacher could work out how we solve word problems.

                                                                  Writing:
For writing we did a word bank about the farmer's market and bees. That was not like what we have done for the last couple of weeks. We usually put a timer on and write about a picture on the screen. I think quick writes take a lot of your priorite time. In a writing workshop we had to write about something naughty. The naughtiest thing I have ever done is when I got money out of my wallet and went to the okitu store without my mum knowing and bought lollies.

                                                                    Art:
This term we have been doing a lot of art. These are the types of art we have done, monster art, my life island, pop art and 2020 goals. My favorite is my life island. We can do art after we finished all of our priorities. I absolutely love art do you like art comment down below? I finish my priorities to the best of my abilities the first time.

                                                                   Reading:
After morning tea and lunch we do fifteen minutes of silent reading. I have recently been into diary of a wimpy kid books. I have read cabin fever and I am reading the original one witch is diary of a wimpy kid. I do dancing so I read in week 1 hope in a ballet shoe.

                                                             

Covid-19 learning

Learning from home was very spiritless and boring some days because it took a lot longer!

I couldn't get used to the class site. It didn't feel right to work next to my siblings.

I seemed to get distracted very easily.

I cherished being in my own environment and being able to snuggle with my dog while working.

Google meets were very entertaining especially on fancy Fridays.
I hated not being able to see KT, KN and all my friends. I loved lying in the sun while doing school.
Some of the activities we did was anzac biscuits, model (toilet roll), leaf print art and poem.

Drain Art

I was at assembly, the teachers were talking to Wainui Beach School about discovery. They said there is a new activity for discovery, drain art. I was delighted that there was more art in discovery. Koka Rachel and Koka Joe had a big talk about what drain art is about. Drain art is a piece of art with a little message to tell people not to drop junk down the drains. I thought this was a great idea. If you see rain water drains you probably wouldn't think it is a rainwater drain, you would think it is a place to put your junk.

We got a scrap piece of paper and did our draft on there. My design was the sea and poking out of the sea was a whale tail, there is a little message at the top that says don't be mean keep it clean in cursive writing and a sunset as the background. I worked by my friends Kayla, Lola and Kale'a. I kept second guessing myself by going, is this the best idea is this a bad idea is this a good idea.

I checked my design with Koka Rachel. She gave me a piece of paper to write about how it will get people to not drop junk in rain water drains. She photo copied my art gave me one and took a picture of the other and sent that to the people. I went outside to do another activity because I finished my art. I was looking forward to a nice day at school and a delightful weekend.
