WIS Vist

Last week we had to have a visit at WIS to see if that is going to be our further intermediate. At WIS there were so many classes, my favourite was hard metal and science. It was so fun and I can't wait until I go there next year.

Rainbow

In He Puna Kawenga, we have been doing Active learning. One of our learning activities was making a rainbow. If you want to know how we did it keep on reading. First cut a paper towel, into the shape of a rainbow. Next, colour bit by bit of the rainbow colours which are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, blue, and Purple. ( But not all the way) After that, you dip it just 2 or 3cm down in the water and it will start growing.

Fact or Fiction

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

 

Word art (water)

In He Puna Kawenga, we have been doing Reading activities, one of them is word art. We put words about the water cycle and what, where, and why do we need water. Here is my word art.

Water cycle

He Puna Kawenga, we have been learning about the water cycle. And we have been learning about these 4 keywords about the cycle. Evaporation means invisible air (gas) that goes up to the sky. Condensation is when the invisible air connects together and make clouds. Precipitation means when the clouds get too heavy they rain. Collection means the rain will go back in the lake or river or even the ocean. 

We tried it in a bag and this is what happened. It made little droplets on the side of the bag.

This is my explanation of the water cycle

Hockey

In-Room 15, we have been doing the hokey lesson every Thursday afternoon with Miss Candish. I enjoy practicing the skills.

Proud moment

My proudest moment was when I got my school leader. It was just then on 12 of February afternoon, we were having the assembly of school leaders. As we went into the hall Ms O'Connor was saying that she and Miss Hulme were going to announce the school leaders. My heart was thumping. Then Ms O'Connor was saying the first names like Maddie, Lincon, Kade, Maddison, Jasmine, Iousa, Mikayla, Micheal-Bobby and Ruby. Then Miss O'Connor said " these Nga Tuakana will be the head of school", then she said "Kini and Javanah" I rushed up and I felt so happy that I thought I would cry.

So that was my proudest moment.  

Football 2020

This year in He Puna Kawenga, we had a guy called Mat that was going to do a girls only Football lesson. Our class was really excited to play Football.

Swimming

In He Puna Kawenga we have been doing Swimming. We have been learning how to be safe in the pool and learning how to scull.

Book character

Nicky loves open spaces and nature. Her strengths are that she is always in a good mood, as long as she is outdoors. When Nicky finishes school she would love to be an ecologist.

Start a new life - Tuia 250

In He Puna Kawenga, we have been learning about Tuia 250.  We learned about people from Britain travelling to Aotearoa to start a new life. I chose to create a poster to show this. Here is my poster.

A moment in time - BMX

When He Puna Kawenga and He puna Pumanwa went to Taupo lake Mi camp.We had so much fun there. There were lots of actives to do and great food to eat. My favourite part about the camp was the BMX. So our class was writing about a moment in time from camp and I picked the BMX. I wrote what I saw, felt and wondered.
Here is my A moment in time - BMX

Facts about Tupaia

In He Puna Kawenga we have been learning about Tupaia the Master Navigator. First we read an article about him and wrote some facts in our own words on a google doc. Then we put the facts in a slideshow with some pictures that matched. Here is my slideshow

Here is my Facts about Tupaia.

Money change

In He Puna Kawenga, this term we are learning about money. One of the activities that Miss Nation wanted us to do was to figure out how we could spend $20 at New World supermarket. By choosing what we wanted to buy, we then had to use our adding to make sure we didn't spend more than $20. 

Next was spending $30 at the Warehouse by using their online catalogue to see what costumes we could get for that price. I found it difficult because most of the costumes were too dear.

Here is my google drawing about what i found.

Keep NZ clean

He Puna Kawenga was getting ready to clean up the area around school. First we had to put on a glove to protect our hands so we don't get sick from the rubbish. Then we lined up in two lines and walked down London street until we came to Fitzherbert Avenue. When we got there we found a lot of rubbish and plastic. We had two people holding the rubbish bags and we had lots of people going everywhere. We found cigarettes butts, paper, plastic and glass. After we finished that we bring the bags back when I came back I felt proud of what I have done.   

poster

In He Puna Kawenga we have been talking about what you need when you go on a voyaging experience.

To begin with it's important to choose the right group on the voyaging experience. Like a group that won't get sick easily, that is kind and has good ideas and most of all helpful.

Then we wrote what your group would need to take while voyaging across the pacific. You need food to trade when you get to the islands, extra rope and sail just in case you lose one of your sails, and lastly birds that are able to find land.

As a class activity we worked in pairs to make a voyage poster that showed people what it will be like,  Maddie and I did a draft copy then when we were happy we did a good copy.
Here is my poster.

   

Taniwha

In He Puna Kawenga we have been learning about Taniwhas. They mostly live in lakes, rivers, oceans and forests. We put our facts in a google slide show, each slide is a fact about Taniwhas.
