We made 3 stops on the way to Camp. On the way down the mountain on our snowboard. One time I was going down I fell over and got winded. Here is some photos of the days.

Thinking Hats

Thinking hats

in term 4 we had a Gala day it was fun but I didn't get to go because I had softball. The build up to this special day was good for experience and really fun. I was happy not to go to the Gala day because it was nerve racking. we made thinking hats on the day and this was hard for me because it was on the day.


Enjoy

My new Zealand Journey

In term 4 Te waka ako made a slideshow called My New Zealand Journey, in this experience you see what it is like as an adult. You can stay in Deluxe hotels or Campervans. Each day you are given a budget of $500 for your activities and hotel stays. You also have to rent a car for 11 days. you land in dunedin and drive Invercargill. From there you have to find your way all the way up to cape reinga. This was a challenging but fun experience and there was an even more exciting place called Mr Ross's farm. Some of the activities were from Moana pools To extreme go karting to Bungy jumping One thing that I learned was how to travel As if I was an adult.One thing the teachers didn't plan was how we got our drivers licence.

Please comment if You wish and tell me how I planned my trip.

Yesterday for cybersmart Te waka ako We Worked on Collaboration.Collaboration means working with  someone to produce something On the right is a video called the collaboration song. I think this song is cool because it resembles working as a team.on the bottom left is what we think collaboration means, now I think it meant  is to work together to accomplish something.On the bottom right says to come up with 5 rules for success in collaboration

Thinglink image

Yesterday and Today we did cybersmart on a thinglink.We made an interactive image that had 2 videos,2 pieces of writing and 2 bits of information.I didn't put in my second piece of writing  because I couldn't find another piece of writing.On our youtube videos sometimes we wouldn't be able to do songs unless the song has a meaningful lyrics.But I chose mr eco as he is a rapper about nature and wildlife,my second video is Nehe Milner Skudder highlights as he is my inspiration

Camp

On Tuesday We went to camp. Well Its not much of a camp and more like a Holiday. We went to Mt Ruapehu And arrived at 6:15 Pm And got ready for dinner.The day after that we went skiing For 2 days, I picked snowboarding for the two days. Getting up was the hardest because when you tried to the snow boardslides down.The best part about snow boarding was you can pick up the sport very easy and it is super fun. Overall I really liked camp except for my lips being sun burnt. Here is a slide on pretty much everything i've done.

Taekwondo

Since the start of Term Three Waikowhai Primary School have been taking lessons for Taekwondo. Our Instructor was quite strict because you can't really get anywhere with people going easy on you. She taught our class different varieties of kicking, punching, fitness and self defense. It's a very hard but fun experience and also if your class gets over 10 seconds to get ready, you get a punishment so if you get 11 seconds then you get one punishment, 12 seconds two punishments and so on.

What I liked is that Taekwondo is very much like Karate.

Tent Creations

Yesterday for Maths in Te Waka Ako we used both science and precision to make tents.

 The reason we had to do this task was on a math problem book there were people on an island and they got to choose how they built a tent. Some of the builders chose different shapes and some fell down but some stayed put.

 For the materials we used tooth picks and modeling clay (plasticine). There were a lot of problems, like having to pinpoint the exact location to put both the toothpicks and plasticine.

 What was fun is that we got to choose which way we built the tent. I chose a lot of different shapes including an L shape, A cube shape and finally the pyramid shape. All of the shapes fell down but the pyramid shape was the strongest.

Overall the project is both fun and challenging at the same time.

also I was wondering why the pyramid shape was so strong and I found a website that said why it is so strong. This is the website link.

creative writing

Yesterday Te Waka Ako did creative writing. We got to write anything we want because Mr Ross said that instead of the teachers saying what we have to write about. I wrote about a series called dragon ball super. It is about a man called goku, He is an alien but he looks like a human.He has very spiky hair and he is one of the strongest fighters in the universe, maybe even the galaxy. Overall I think I wrote a very long yet detailed piece of story.I hope you like the story. Please comment if you wish as I would love to see where my pros and cons come in.

The characters are:Universe 7(Goku, Vegeta, Krillin, Gohan, Lord Beerus, Whis) Universe 6(Cabba and Hit) Universe 11(Toppo, Jiren)

thinglink post

This is a Thinglink that I made.It is an interactive image that is all about me.I started it last week and It was finished at home on Monday.We got to do 2 paragraphs that show my personal information that i'm aloud to share. After that we get to do 2 videos,one is my inspiration as he plays rugby, and the other is a man that came to our school called Mr Eco.After that we got to put on two pieces of writing that I made,I only did one because this is my only good finished writing. Leave a comment if you please as that would help me a ton.

The Humongous Move

On monday The Senior Syndicate moved into Te waka ako. Our local MP Michael wood came to talk about how privileged we should be about having our new classrooms. The kapa Haka group that I was in performed 2 songs called He Honore and Tutira Mai Nga. Finally Michael wood cut the ribbon to officially open the classrooms. The whole school including the staff and Parents got to have a tour around the classes. It was a nerve racking but very fun experience. We used The thinking hats to show what we liked,didn't like and what we should do now.

The new furniture is really cool and comfortable. Working with three teachers still feel the same and kind of easier for the teachers so they don't have to put up with me and max. 

Digital footprints

Today we had our first cybersmart class,A new teacher Gerrard came and taught us in replacement of james.He was talking about Digital Footprints.This is a mark that is left on the internet by you.This is what I did. 

story starters

Every week we do story starters for our learning.story starters are very hard because we have to know how to start and know how to finish.here is my story starter

I could tell Max 1 wasn’t happy….He isn’t used to being a ghost.dj cringey Ross is so evil and I have a feeling he’s after me and Max 2 too.I need to tell Mr riceman and Ms Sands but Mr Ross Gang the Chubby Bunnies will hunt us down and make us eat brussel sprouts and trim our black toenails.We told the the Chubby bunnies showed up with bunny onesies.We called the fluffy unicorns to fight back.They caught me Max and Bilal and they made our peripherals bad and made us eat they’re brussel sprouts and trimmed our black stinky toenails.Max 2 called his other meanage gang the doggy woggies and they get us out of the chubby palace of the big big bunnies of the west south north and east while the chubby bunnies tried to shoot us in their carrot cannons but one bunny shot on into the wall he was a fluffy unicorn hard gee.The chubby bunnies are never heard of again.
