My fable plan

Kia ora and welcome to my plan about my fable writing. I had so many good ideas but I thought that this one would be the best  plan ever. We had to make a moral lesson about life and mine was Treat others the way you want to be treated.I thought that was a very good for a Dog,Cat and turtle. My plan was to have a Dog that didn't like the cat and the cat ran away but then the turtle told the dog that the way you are treating her is that the way that you want to be treated. So yeah that is basically my story but it is going to be more simpler than that.  

 

Thank you and I hope you enjoyed my blog .👋

My holidays

 In the holidays I did a lot of really cool stuff and today I'm going to be sharing it with you. In the holidays we bought a new swing set ,we went to my auntie's, we had a few friends come over and I play Minecraft with my friends. When we got the big swing set at first I didn't know what it was but I was very happy that we have it because my sister loves it and so do I think my brother can also grow into it. when we went to my auntie's we play hide and seek we played families and a memory game. Locarno's family came over to our house and they played on our new swing set and they were excited that there was a swing set. I built lots of really cool things in Minecraft. I built an axolotl store, lots of big houses and a few more stores. 

Here are some photos off my holidays.

Hope you enjoyed :)

Olympics

 Kia ora bloggers, 

This week the year 5 and year 6's have been watching a little bit of the Olympics. We have been doing Math, Writing and Inquiry about it and we have making little dioramas and posters about different Olympic sports. My sport that I am doing is gymnastics and I am going to making a diorama about it. I am going to be sharing with you my work that I have made about the Olympics but because the Olympics are over I am going to be sharing with you the work before this week.

 Measurement 

This week we have been doing measurement for math and it is so much fun. Yesterday we made a paper ruler and we had to make it 1 metre long. We went outside with the meter ruler and 5 things. My 5 things were, a net ball pole what is 3.5 m, the friendship bench which was 2.0 and are pole which was 2.5 m and sadly that's all I got to do cause we ran out of time but , this is what you need and how to make it.

What you need:

A4 paper

A one meter ruler / something one meter

Scissors ( with parental supervision

Tape

Steps:

1. You have to fold the A4 paper in quarters on the long side

2. Then cut on the 3 lines that will be crested from folding

3. Once you have 4 skinny pieces of paper then you tape three of them together

4. Place those three next to the meter ruler and measure if it is as long as it.

5.  Lastly if it is too short or long then you can add more on to it or take off less.

Waikowhai Student Led Toolkits

❤ Hello, I have another blog for you and this week it's about STEM week and you're probably wondering what stem week is. Well it stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths, in this blog I am going to be sharing what we did. 

On Friday the Middle school and Senior school came together and did Waikowhai Student Led Toolkits which is basically where you go and make a google slide and you pick one educational game or site and then we have a little description and the instructions for what that game or site that it is.

The first toolkit that I went to was Brain Box and Brain Box is basically just this little kit that has a bunch of cool gadgets and part that makes a lot of cool things like Propellers, Fans, working light bulbs and even your own radio and much more but those are some of things I made. It was so fun.

My second activity was Music Lab that was really fun as well. All you do is find the address bar on your device and write Music Lab in and guess what it's completely free. So then you can just click on one of the items that you want to make music on and then go for it make your music. And last but not least it was Book Creator. I think it was the most fun toolkit out of all of them because you got to create your own book. It was amazing. Book Creator and also another online thing that will get your mind and your creativity to the next level. Again like Music Lab all you have to is type in Book Creator in your search bar and then it should come up saying the Creator and that first link you click on you're there and then there are heaps of cool gadgets and stuff that you can fiddle with and try .

After that really cool experience for the three Toolkits I'm feeling really glad and happy and I would like to do this again one year.

Year 5 day

Talofa lava Bloggers✌

Yesterday we had a day where it was only year 5's in Te Waka Ako and Miss McGrath was our teacher. We got to do lots of fun things like Fortune tellers, and Wellbeing activities. At the end of term one, we did a Wellbeing survey on our Chromebook about if you have been bullied. In this blog I am going to show and tell you some things that we did and how to make a Fortune Teller. 

First we did a little bit of talking about the Wellbeing survey, mostly questions from the survey and some of the answers that were clear and easy to understand. Some of the questions included "Have you been bullied in school by students, staff or peers?". Some people on the server said that they have been bullied but when they went into the office to talk about it, they said that they did get teased or bullied but didn't feel like it was done in a mean way. People who said that, I don't think that they really understood the concept on if you had been teased. If you get teased once then It's not kind, if it happens 2 times then it's mean, but if it happens 3 or more times then it's bullying.

Once we had done that, we did a bit of exercise to warm up. After that we walked 

around Hauraki and Waitemata, Miss Mcgrath turned on music and then we started walking around. If she stoped the music then we had to get to the nearest person and tell them something that were thankful or grateful for. We had lots of fun. Once we had done that we moved on to the Fortune tellers. Here is a photo and a video of how to make a fortune teller.
