Ocean Conservation

On Monday the Yr 6’s had a visitor come in, her name was Libby. She came in to teach us about the Ocean Conservation. She even bought in her bike that’s made out of bamboo. I learnt so much about the Ocean Conservation, like how Libby got to swim with a pregnant whale or how long a manta ray measures. It was very exciting having Libby coming to talk to us.`

Kiwi Christmas Art

Last Wednesday Te Ngahere got to be part of an Art Competition. We had our pieces of paper split into quarters, in each box we had to draw what Christmas meant to us. The winner would win a free screening for their class, the movie is called Kiwi Christmas. I had loads of fun making my piece of art, the ones that finished their art got to enter them into the competition.

My A&P Advertisment

A couple of weeks ago Te Ngahere made a Digital P&I Show Advertisement. The one thing I learnt about the P&I show is it’s been running since the 1890s. One of the Success Criteria is how long has it been running for? The WALT is to Research about the P&I Show

Creative Writing

A couple of weeks ago Te Ngahere made a Creative piece of writing. Our writing was based around Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. The Language features I used was Similes and Onomatopoeia. What I think I did well was using Similes and Onomatopoeia, but I think maybe next time I could use more Language features and learn other language features too.

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Writing

 For the past few weeks, Te Ngahere have been learning how to use the correct structure for a persuasive writing. I think I wrote a pretty good persuasive writing. But I think next time I could put one of my personal goals on there not the one’s I’ve already achieved. My Writing is called R,R,R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).

My Visual Mihi

During the week we have been learning to understand our morning mihi. I chose these images because it reminds me about what the mihi is about, every image represents a part of the mihi. Also our WALT was to understand a mihi. This is my Visual Mihi

My Writing Goals

Last Week in Te Ngahere we created a google drawing about our Writing Goals. Our WALT was to Identify our next learning goals in writing. The reason I chose these goals is because I needed to learn these, also because I want to achieve R5 and move onto R6 of the Writing Rubric. Here are my Writing Goals.

My Maths Goals

Last Week in Te Ngahere we created our Term 4 Maths Goals. We had to grab our Ican sheet and choose 3 goals we wanted to learn. Then when we chose our goals we had to create a google drawing and put our 3 goals on. I chose these goals because I didn’t know how to do these strategies, and I think it will help me in Stage 7, also I want to achieve Stage 6.

QuickSand/Obleck

Today Whaea Becks showed us this cool thing called Quicksand. It started to come out all sticky at first, but then it went all gooey, it was so fun playing with the Quicksand. Hope we get to do it again!

Rep

In week five, my reading group and I read a book called Rep. Our WALT was to Answer inference questions. The story was about a boy that was always grumpy until he learnt about the man with one leg. I think I could improve on putting the answer in with the question. Here is my slide presentation.

Informational Report

Two weeks ago the whole of Te Ngahere had to write a country report about our chosen country. My chosen country was America, our WALT was to write an informational report. Every time we would go to a workshop we’d have a new WALT like use topic sentences in our writing.

Common Nouns and Proper Nouns

Last week Te Ngahere made a google drawing about Proper nouns and Common nouns. Our WALT was to use Commons nouns and Proper nouns. I buddied up with Vanya. This is my google drawing.

My Reading Goals

Last week in Te Ngahere we created a google drawing of our Reading Goals. We selected our goals by choosing them from our progression sheet. We were learning to Identify our next learning steps in reading.

My Maths Goals

Last Week Te Ngahere created a google drawing about our maths goals. First we had to choose three goals from our Ikan Sheet to put to onto our google drawing that we made. Our WALT is to identify our next steps in maths.

My Writing Goal Post

Last Week, Te Ngahere made a google drawing about our writing goals. Our WALT is Identify our writing goals in writing. We had to choose goals in writing that we wanted to work on or we didn’t know, then we had to put our goals that we were working on onto our goal presentation.

My Art

Last Term Te Maunga and Te Ngahere were designing a piece of art of our family using  koru and kowhaiwhai patterns. Our WALT was to use Koru and Kowhaiwhai patterns. Whaea Chrissy called people up and showed us how to use  a paint brush properly and how to sketch very lightly. Here is mine art work.

Student Led Conference

On Tuesday, Te Ngahere created a google drawing for our Student Led Conference. In our google drawing we had to put in maths, reading, writing, inquiry and art. First, Mrs Pou gave my mum my report and we sat on the couch and looked at my report, my mum thought it was a good idea to do some maths at home. Then I showed her the google drawing and all the work I’ve been doing.

Matariki Celebration Day

Last Thursday, we had a Whanau day at the school to celebrate Matariki Day. We did so much fun things like Planting Trees, art and we had loads of fun games out on the field. We also had a delicious shared lunch. It was a really fun day for everyone.

Waitangi Treaty Grounds

Last Tuesday Paihia School walked to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. We did this fun activity it was called Manu aute. The coolest activity I liked was the kite making, my buddy was Missy, we just started straight away, Missy would do the weaving and I would do the tying, it was so fun. It was so fun and exciting walking to the Treaty Grounds and learning things I never knew about, I hope we get to do it again next year.

Fidget Spinners

Last week Te Ngahere and Te Maunga made some Fidget Spinner art. We were given an A3 piece of paper. We were learning to use, all the space on the A3 piece of paper, we also had to use crayon and dye to do our fidget spinners.

Making Ice Cream

On Friday Te Ngahere made some Ice Cream, we made some Ice Cream because the whole of Te Ngahere got 100% in our learning plan. Then on Monday the class had to write a recount about how to make ice cream. We had to work in pairs for the Ice Cream, and my buddy was Lucy.

Tim Tipene

   Last Thursday an Author called Tim Tipene came to Paihia School. What I really enjoyed about Tim Tipene was that he was really funny and he had heaps of expression while he was reading one of his books and he told us how he became an author. I only know 3 of his books. One of them are Taming the Taniwha, Hinemoa Te Toa and Bullies of Warriors.

General Knowledge

       
Last week I was learning to find information about our chosen country. I think we did well at using map skills to find locations, read the text to make connections with different countries and cultures and scan the text for key information . My group and I really enjoyed looking for information and finding out stuff that we never knew before. Thank you

18 year old girl Alexis

Alexis- 18 year old cop/village girl

Once upon a time a girl named Alexis lived in a cabin in a very little village, she was so wild and adventurous, she loved to fight crimes at night because she was a cop.

One afternoon, Alexis was going out for an afternoon run, when she ran out the door, she saw a group of people breaking into an old lady’s house. She didn’t know what to do because there was no one around to help her.  She didn’t know what to do so she decided

to do it by herself.

Don Don Don…

She tiptoed over to the window and peeked through to see what they were up to, then she ran home and she looked everywhere for her police uniform because her handcuffs were in her uniform. So she ran out the door and carefully sneaking through the little old lady’s house when she found the group of people she tiptoed all the way by them. “ Put your hands behind your back and don’t move em,” said Alexis.  She called the police station for backup and they came as fast as lightning. They arrested the group of people and Alexis was the hero of the day.

HIP HIP HORRRRRAAAAAAYYYYY

THE END!!!

Last week I made a narrative story, I was learning to use speech marks and commas in my writing. I was learning to use the  correct narrative structure in my writing and write a descriptive writing to make it into an animation.

The Most Funniest Day Ever

 
Last Wednesday Te Ngahere went down to The Beach for the surf life saving. The lifeguards names were Liam, Toobs and Sam. They told us about 10 important things, what a surf life saver does and what was the equipment. We played loads of games and had heaps of learning. It was fun.

The bestest day of my life.

   Last Week Paihia School did a school Triathlon. The little junior's like Nga Motu and Te awa had to swim laps in the pool, and Seniors like Te Maunga, Te Ngahere and Te Moana had to go down by the kayak shed and swim in the ocean and then run back to school. We had to run through the carpark and onto the court to our bikes, and then bike around the field twice. I loved it all.

The most revolting beach day

    Last Friday we went to the beach clean up. We had to pick up rubbish for the community. It was fun. When I found the gross icky rubbish coming out of the sand, grass chair. It was disgusting. Such a revolting day. Next time I probably puke.

My Amazing Fiction Character

15 Year old Girl - Alexis

Tuesday 7th March

My Fiction Character

She has long hair and she is not allowed to cut her hair until she is 18.

She has no legs.

She wears a Nike hat.

Her wavy hair waving in the wind.

She has no nose.

Her gross mouth that needs a mint.

She has piercing on her lips.

THE END!!!

I Remeber

Remember

I Remember...

Sitting in the tree.

Running on the hot sizzling sand.

My feet burning like fire.

Running to the shiny, sparkling water.

Watching my brothers splashing each other, as they laugh.

SMASH as I get smashed over by the Wild Waves, as I jumped back up with joy.

Rolling up and down on the grass as the birds chirp away.

Jumping out of the trees and landing on the soft sand.

Shivering in the wind.

That was my summer.

I was learning to notice but use the structure that’s used in the exemplar. The first line was what we were doing, the second line was what happened the third line was something that we did and the fourth line was why we did it. I think I did well describing the beach like the sand and the water, maybe next I could improve on writing more sentences and describing more writing.
