Summer Learning journing

Kia Ora bloggers! 

Today I did a summer learning journey task. For this task I had to find some words that I liked and find images and synonyms for them. This was a bit hard because I had to find Nouns, Verbs, Adverbs and adjectives! On the second slide I put a few photos of what my summer holiday is going to look like and what I want to do. Before this I did not know what adverbs were but now I do.

 Here are my slides.

Please leave me some feedback in the coments! Bye!

Paper planes

Kia Ora bloggers! Our class has started the summer learning journey today. The first task for the summer learning journey was making paper planes. First we had to watch a video by nanogirl, she taught us 3 ways of making paper planes. The first plane we made was a traditional paper plane. The second paper plane was called a ring glider. And the third one was a hoop glider. The traditional paper plane was the easist to make because there weren't many steps and I am familiar with making them. The ring glider was also very easy beacuse all you had to do was fold and tape the same piece of paper. The hardest plane was the ring glider beaucuse you had to measure the width and length of the paper. A little tip is that you should rewatch the video even if you think you dont need to ( this really helps ).

Homeless - rich to poor

 Kia Ora Bloggers! 

Today I will be showing you an animation that me and Nasteho made together. We made a animation instead of a film because of covid and lockdown. This animation is call Homeless - rich to poor. I really enjoyed working with Nasteho because she was really helpful. I found that it was hard to find images i was allowed to use. I'm proud that we finished in time and that we had a good story. If I could go back and change something I would add more to the story so it could be more interesting.  

If we missied anything please leave us a comment. See you next time!

Our Tokyo Olympics

Kia Ora Bloggers! 

Today was so fun because we went to the olympic fan zone! There were lots of stalls to explore and lot of fun things to do. There were lots of games and activities to do. My favorite game was the one where we had to throw a bean bag in a whole because it was really hard. 

After the games we moved on and we got a pamphlet with a lot of questions for us to answer. We went to the japanese stall and learnt a few words. Next we went to a wall with all the names of NZ olympians and we had to find out how many where in there. Then we went to the giant skateboard! ( yes there was a giant skateboard, it was 12 meters long). Last we went to the fan zone and watched to canoe racing. 

I learnt that there were 1389 NZ olympians, the three olympic values and that 211 nz athletes are competing this year.

See you later bloggers!

Bike Ready!

 Hello Bloggers, 

Today Paterson class had a bike riding lesson! Before we did anything we had to go over the safety rules like tie your laces and to take off your jacket if its around your waist 

Then we got to pick out our helmets, Jason and Loni (  our bike instructors ) told us that we needed to check if there were any cracks because if your fall you might crack your head open! Jason and Loni also helped us adjust our helps from the back and from the straps. They also taught us the 2 4 1 rule, you have to have 2 fingers on your forehead then you had to pull your helmet down to your fingers. You have to have 4 fingers on the straps on the side of your ear and there is a buckle that has to be under your ear. Then 1 finger should fit under your chin and strap. 

Now onto picking our bikes! Loni asked who didn't know how to ride a bike or wasn't confident so she could take them and teach them. Then Jason told all the tall people to go get a black bike because they were bigger. Then everyone else went and got a bike. Before we got on we learnt the ABCD rule. First check for Air, second check your Brakes, Third check you Chain and Last but least check if your handels are in the right Direction.

Now onto riding! ( My favourite part ). First we were split into groups ( I  was in the yellow group - or group three). Each group had a lane. At first we just had to ride and go back to the back of our line but after a few rounds of that we learnt about the signals to indicate cars where we were going.  We had to ride then when we past the yellow line we had to point where we were going ( it was so fun ). Then Jason held up different coloured bean bags and he would call out look. We had to look quickly and shout out the colour. Then the last game was turtle race. The slowest person to reach the yellow line won! ( Our team only won once 😕 ). I found the turtle race really hard because I kept falling down.

Thats was all! We also are going to have another lesson tomorrow! By the way here is a picture our teacher took of us. 

 

Waka Description

Kia Ora bloggers,

For the last two weeks Paterson class has been learning about wayfinding navigation and waka. 

Yesterday we made our waka hourua on tinkercad. Here is what mine looks like.

 My waka hourua has 2 strong hulls, 2 sails made out of strong flax and 1 hut that can fit all of us. My waka is very strong too, it can hold all 31 of us!

My job on this waka is to be a cook. As the cook I need to make food for the crew and captain. The fisherman brings me the raw fish and I make lots of yummy food for everyone. Sometimes when we have left over food (that rarely happens because everyone is so hungry!) I have to put it in the storage and sometimes it rots (that is not good). 

If you ever make a waka please comment and tell me how it went!
