Team Moana Hangi - Eating Edition

Kia Ora!!!
As you know we have been doing a hangi. This blog post is about the eating. The best part.
So we pulled it out of the hole and took it to the table.
Girls got there plates and lined up at the table. I got a bit of everything. I ate some stuffing and some fried bread. The rest I tinfoiled for Dad. Before we ate our food, we took a photo.
I liked this because this was my first hangi.
I didn't really like was that it was a really hot day and it even hotter when we watched the hangi.
I would enjoy doing a hangi again.

Animal Report

Hello fellow bloggers,
This week we did a animal report about an animal we wished was our pet. I chose a Guinea Pig because I have wanted one since I was little.
I love!!!!!!!!! Doing animal reports. I LOVED this whole task!

What I didn't like was the draft paper that we had to start on. It didn't really make sense.

Anyway, amongst all of that here is the final piece of art!

Team Moana Hangi Preparation - Hole Edition

Kia Ora,
Welcome back to my blog.
For the last few weeks of this term we have been having hangis catered by the students and supervised by our wonderful Matua Ken. Our hangi is this Friday.
We made a movie about the preparation to the hole. Denym, Leonor and I made a really cool movie.
I was the filmer, while Leonor and Denym were the actors.
The easy\fun part was making and watching our movie.
The hard\not-fun part was probably writing out the preparation of the hole.
Here is our video;

Goodbye, Georgia

Christmas Decorations

Hello fellow bloggers,
for the past few days (two) we have been making Christmas decorations. We made them to sell at our Whanau Event. I was originally in a pair with T-man (Teziah) but then he went and made his own creations.
The first thing was snow woman. Her name was Judy. I also made a reindeer named Joey. Today I made a husband for Judy. His name is John. At home I am going to make their child called Jake.
The thing I liked: Being Creative.
The thing I disliked: Following the rules of this task and the fact that the power went off.
I made these people by using paint, toilet rolls, paper, pom-poms, pipe cleaners and glue.
Goodbye, Georgia.
Here are some photos:

Spelling Task

Hello, bloggers.
Tomorrow, we are having a spelling test so we have been practicing by selecting words from list 6-8 essential. We had to write the syllables, a sentence with the word and the root word of the sentence.
This task was fun because I got to learn what a root word is.
This task was hard because I had to re-think about a complex or compound sentence for a lot of my words.
The learning behind this task was to learn words for our spelling test tomorrow.
I would so do this task again if I could.
Here are my slides about the spelling task:

Magaret Peters Spelling Test

Kia ora everyone!

Today, we sat the Margaret Peters Spelling Test. I scored 50 which gives me a spelling age of 13.3 years

At the beginning of the year, I scored 46 and had a spelling age of 12.9 years.

So, I improved my spelling age by 4 words. I am actually 11 years and 3 months old. 

I think I got this result because I was confident this morning. 

See you next time!

Hot Air Survival

Hello!
Last week we did a science experiment with Miss Fletcher. We had to put yeast, sugar and warm water into a bottle. Then, we had to wait until the balloon had risen. While the balloon was rising we had to take observation notes. We wrote all of this into a Google Slides. After we did the science part we did some creative writing.
I liked this task because we got to do creative writing after we finished.
This task was hard to find deeper information about the task.
Here is my Slideshow:

Greats and Grands Day 2019

This week we are having Greats and Grands Day. We do prizes for oldest grandparent and furthest traveled + more. My Grandma would win shortest distance traveled because she works in the office at school.
So this year we made a book for our grandparents using Google Slides. Every year I do something about Grandma, so this year I did most things about Grandad.
The thing I liked about this task was the idea of making a book for my grandparents. And making fudge.
The thing I didn't like about this task was writing the fudge recipe. I didn't like this because I only found out towards the end that it said everything else about the fudge at the bottom of the website.
I found this task easy because I know a lot about my grandparents so it was easy to write about them.
What was hard in this task was really nothing I guess. This task was fun and easy to do. Some people wouldn't agree though.
Here is my slideshow about Grandad. And Grandmas chocolate pudding.
Enjoy!!

Movies!!! In Progress

Hi!!!!!

For the past week or so, we have been making movies for a competition. I'm in a group with Saphera, Grace, Hayley, Ellie, Kora and Heidi. Our first movie didn't work, so we started a second yesterday. Our first movie was a Murder. Our second movie is about an old abandoned hospital and we all go missing. We have the help from Leonor (Camera woman and Director) and Brooke (Lead Actor and Director).
I was surprised when I found that our movie wasn't working and that our scenes disappeared. But, I am excited for our  second movie because I feel like it will be quite fun to film.
I think that the others not knowing their lines was very frustrating and hard. Getting the green screen to work was very hard as well.
I found that filming the outside scenes was quite easy because we didn't have to worry about green screen.
Overall, I really like movie making so far. We have had a few dramas along the way, but we solved those.
Bye!!!!!!

Science Fair Thursday 12 September

Kia Ora People!!

Yesterday we had a whole school Science Fair. I was in a group with Saphera, Grace and Arbey. Our science question was: How do different food items react when placed in vinegar. We had a lot of mishaps, problems and fights along the way, but we completed it.
Ka kite!!

Comparing Good Characters

Kia Ora!!

This week, we are learning about the ways writers describe good characters in their stories. We had to read several texts and then create a Comparison Matrix to show how the Clothing, Personalities and Physical Appearance of the good characters were similar.

The hard part was: to think of all their skin colours because they all have similar colours.

The easy part was: to write their outfits because I know a lot about Disney Princesses.

Rhythm

This is my DLO about rhythm in poetry. We had to find rhythm in different poems. I like doing these tasks because creating the DLOs are fun.  This is mine about peas and honey. ENJOY!!

T3 Learning Journy

This is my T3 Learning Journy. I have improved lots through out the year. ENJOY!

Coding with Cassandra

Hello fellow bloggers! Today for math we did some coding. We did it with someone called Cas. It was so fun. It was really hard to figure out where the danger points went and also figure out where the scientist had to go. What was easy was when I had to find out what scientist and what life form to use. I really enjoyed this task.

See you later Bloggers!!

Poetry Lesson No 1 Bio Poem

Last week we did bio poems for our poetry writing. We had to add in our names and things about ourselves. This task was fun because I love writing about myself. What I found hard was to think of adjectives to describe myself. What I found easy was to think of what I would put for what my wishes and hopes for the future. This is my Bio Poem:

Poetry Lesson 2 What is rhyme?

Today we did our poetry Friday first rotation. We learnt abut how things rhyme. We got to choose what poem we wanted to make a DLO for. I chose one about rats loving each other. We had to highlight which words rhymed. Our Learning Object is:
Learn:`

1: That rhyme is a main ‘clue’ that a piece of writing might be poetry.

.

2: What rhyme is.

This is my DLO, enjoy!

Forces

Hello bloggers!
This term we have been learning about forces and motion. It is only 4th day of school.
We did a template of forces.
My favourite part of this task was learning about forces.
Forces are very fun to learn about because they are confusing and I like trying to work things out.
What I found easy was to lay out my DLO because I didn't lay it out exactly.
What I found hard was to find some ways to do my writing it out in my own words.
I really loved this tasked.
Here is my work:

Inquiry Term 2

Kia Ora!

It is the last week of term, and so we are finishing our inquiry project we started a couple of weeks ago. 1 thing I enjoyed was the fact that we got to choose what we wanted to learn about.

The 1 thing that was hard was getting some information because the WiFi\internet was out so we had to use books. Some books didn't have the information I wanted. 

2 facts I learnt was that some people think aliens will look like us, and another word for life in the universe is extraterrestrial life. The learning behind this task was to find the answer to a wondering I had about Planet Earth And Beyond. My wondering was:

Is there life in the universe?

So that was my inquiry photo.

Here is my slide:

Leaves Task

Kia Ora Guys!
This week we have been doing a leaf activity. We went around the school and collected leaves to write creative writing about. I did a song to the tune of: 'London Bridge Is Falling Down'. Mrs Fletcher read it out to the class. It was funny hearing something that I wrote. What I found hard was to think of the verses to make my own. I found it was easy to think of what creative thing I was going to do. I really enjoyed this task because we got to go outside, and I love the outside world. Next Wednesday, when Mrs Fletcher is back in, we will be doing a science experiment on why\how the leaves change colour.
Thanks, Georgia. Here is my work:

Leaves (tune to London Bridge Is Falling Down)

The leaves on the trees are falling off

Falling off, falling off

The leaves on the trees are falling off

My fair lady

Pick them up and throw them away

Throw them away, throw them away

My fair lady

But the leaves would just fall again

Fall again, fall again

But the leaves would just fall again

My fair lady

Have a leaf fight with your friends

With your friends, with your friends

Have a leaf fight with your friends

My fair lady

But the leaves will get stuck in your hair

In your hair, in your hair

But the leaves will get stuck in your hair

My fair lady

Oh, just have some fun

Have some fun, have some fun

Oh, just have some fun

My fair lady

But then mum called out, come inside

Come inside, come inside

But then mum called out, come inside

My fair lady
