Practical Learning

 For Practical learning last term we made hand stitched headphone bags. I ended up using a candy patterned material and for the plane material I chose a light purple. 

I chose these patterns because I thought it would be a cute pattern and the colours would look good together.

The part I found the trickiest  was sewing on the letters because parts of it I didn't stitch properly.

The part I enjoyed the most was seeing the final results because it turned out much better than I was thinking it would.

I am very very proud of my headphone bag!

Playground crawl

 

On Tuseday Rm 15 (my class) Rm 1/2 Rm 6,Rm 3 and Rm 5 went on a trip  to four diffrent playgrounds for a playground crawl. We went for a vist to Virginia lake park, Peat park, Castlecliff park and  Kowhai park.We were there from 9:15am-2:45pm we had so much fun playing all day and no school work yay!!!

Fact or Fiction?

Here are my three paragraphs describing my holiday experience. Can you guess which are fact or fiction?

Word Art

In class we made a word art about water. All of the words that are in this word art relate to water in some way.

Make Your Own Rainbow

In class we did reading Active learning. I did a make your own rainbow, heres how mine turned out.

LIfe Education(Harold)

In He Puna Kawenga we have been going to Life Education (Harold). We have been learning about cyberbullying and how to be safe on the internet.

Hockey

In He Puna Kawenga we have been doing hockey lessons for PE. We are learning how to hold our Hockey sticks, how to hit the ball and how to control the ball. We had to get into buddies and me and my friend Ruby were buddies. We had to get a ball and try to control it while we moved the ball around the cones. It has been fun learning new skills.

Swimming

In He Puna Kawenga we go swimming twice a week we have been enjoying it. One thing I would like to inprove on is backstroke.

Active learning

For Active learning this term, I made a puppy paw string art. I am proud with my finished masterpiece because its a Christmas present for my mum and it turned out amazing. One thing I found challenging was hammering in the nails with my cast on. If I was to do it again i would take more time and choose a diffrent design.

Water Fight

Me and Ruby were walking to school we got really close to the school gate and we saw people with water guns me and Ruby said "THE WATER FIGHTS TODAY!!!!!!!!" 
We forgot our togs!!!

Don`t worry about that here is a link to the photos of the water fight and a photo of my friend. Link.

Camp collage

I had so much fun at camp, here are some photos.

Athletics Day

It was the minute before my first Athletics challenge, which was high jump. Sadly, I couldn't do it because I still had my cast on my arm. My real first activity was Vortex. I had so much fun with Mrs Wilton-Scott! I heard Rhlee in Room 7 cheering my name she was really loud. I finished but I didn't get in the top five, sad.  We did Long jump after that and I went further than I have done before I almost got to the end of the pit! After that it was lunch and the day was over, for me. 

Athletics

In He Puna Pumanawa  we have been practising athletics. The first skill we did was  long jump .(I think). Anyway, this is a picture of me jumping and about to land with a motorbike landing .

                                                            

silhouette art

  

In He Puna Pumanawa we have been making silhouette art.  We had to make a sunset with only red,yellow and white  blended colours .I chose an owl for my silhouette art.I  tryed to be as creative as I could.

Reach resue (Swimming)

Every Wednesday and Friday He Puna Pumanawa   go swimming. We have been learning how to signal for help and how to save someone when they are in trouble. What we did was we got a buddy and one of us would go into the pool. They would put their hand up to  signal for  help with a pool noodle. The other person would sit on there knees and  hold on to the other side of the pool noodle and put it into the pool. They needed to drag the person to the side of the  pool and hold their arms, once they are ready to get out drag them out of the pool slowly.

This is a picture of me and Ruby doing it.
This is the technique on how to save someone.
We had so much fun!!!😀👍

Cross country

On the 3rd of September the 8 year old and over went to Rutherford to do cross country. When we got there we had to sit in our age and our house groups.I was extremely nervous I was in Kauri (The Blue house and the best house).

When it was my turn I was coming in the top ten until I was up the very top of the hill.  My legs where pounding. I finished and I came 15th place. I really think running the block really paid of, I was so proud of myself.

Calender Art

In He Puna Pumanawa we have been making chameleons for our calender art. This is my chameleon. It took me about one week to make. What do you think?

In class we have been imanaging creating and inovating while making line art. 

This is my art  it only took me a couple of days to make.

My art represents my creativaty and stuff I love.

I got the idea of the bridges of Zoe but turend it into my peace of art.😊

The museum

On Friday the 17th of May He Puna Pumamawa and He Puna Kawenga went to the museum. The first thing He Puna Pumamawa did was go into the star dome. We learnt the matariki contsalation  has 1000 stars but we can only see 6 or 7. We learnt that the blue stars are the young stars and the red and orange stars are the old stars There is a constalation called the toutoru it is three stars in a straight line the Puanga star is directly above toutoru we also leant that there is a poem about stars. The  museum was so fun.

                                       This is the poem: 
                       White and blue are young and new, 
                             red and gold are old and cold.

Growth mindset

In He puna pumanawa we have been talking about Growth mindsets so we decided to make some Growth mindset posters. My one says...If you quit once, it becomes a habit, so don`t quit.
