All you can Eat

W.A.L.T: we have been learning about food and health (hauora). The year 5&6 have made food for our teachers. It was known as the mystery box challenge. It was a mini master chef for our senior school. There was a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th placings. I was unlucky because I was not one of the winners. But the teachers (chefs) liked my dish that I served. I served BBQ chicken enchiladas. We got to taste them and I thought they tasted a 8 out of ten. Her is a photo of the finished dish.

Maths collaborative

W.A.L.T For the last 3 weeks we have been doing our collaborative task about making greeting cards. We have been in groups of 4. I'll show you what we have done.

We've had to choose what design are going on the cards.

Here is a replica of what we had to do.

Collaborative Task    

Collaborative Task Week 7

Working in a group of 4

Mr Eales has asked us to make some sets of greeting cards to sell at our Art Exhibition.

In your group you need to cover the following designs so you will need to do 2 each. 

Enlargement 

Reduction 

Rotation along a line

Rotation about a point

Tessellation

Slide Tessellation

Reflection along a line

Reflection using 2 lines of symmetry

You then need to create two sets of cards. Each set should have 4 cards. One set needs to be a mini set and should be ¼ of the size of your larger set. You should include at least one design from each person in your group but you can use the same design more than once. 

Art inquiry

This Term we have been doing workshops. We made videos about what we did for our workshops.Click here to watch my video about my inquiry.

P.E

We have done cross country this Term. We have trained for the school cross country and the inter school cross country as well. Here are a few photos of our school cross country.

Next step... to practice harder and to get faster for next year in intermediate.

Reading

These are some of my reading tasks for the last 3 terms. 

My next steps are to do add more detail to my work.

Descriptive writing

I did this price of writing in a workshop in Term 1. We went outside and discriped what we could hear, smell, fell, see, taste. Here is a few poems I made about them.

Walt: show not tell to describe a scene.

It was a beautiful Autumny morning. I just stepped out the door to go for a walk,I heard the birds chirping and the leaves were falling. I walked past a playground and there was a seat. So I went in and sat on it. The grass was all dewy and my shoes got wet when walked around. There was one beam of light shining shining down and were it was shining down on where the frost had been burnt off.

I looked around and all I could see was trees looped around each other. It was like the trees were hugging. I could feel moss under my feet. The moss was soft and it made me sink into it. We walked some more and then we went back into the big shadows of the trees. The smell of trees and moss wasn't a pleasant smell.I could only hear a distant chirp of a bird. I thought it would come near us, but it didn't.

Noah

I was standing all alone. The sun was beating down on me. I looked down to my arm and it was as red as a tomato. There were skeleton like trees standing all around me. The scaled ground cut my feet as I walked closer and closer to the sun set. I was hoping that the clouds would spit down on me. It was getting windier and the dust was making its way into my mouth making it dry. I could only see dust and sand going on for miles. I wondered how would I get out, but no thoughts came to mind.

“RRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR” yelled the monster as I just stabbed it in the head. I pretty sure that the monsters a bit angry now, I thought to myself. The monster chased back to were I came from. From then on I realised that I was all alone. I had lost my crew. I looked around and saw huge glowing globes tangled in the roots of the trees. It was all silent except for the disband roar of the monster. When that roar faded it was only drops of water dripping down from the trees. My feet were all wet from the moss making me sink into the water. The only smell was the moss and the huge tangled oak trees. I tried to make my way out but it was blocked of with heaps of hugging roots. The roots were so strong that I couldn't cut through it with my knife. I knew I was doomed.

Here's my writing about an article on kiwi kids news. I chose the McGregor and Mayweather fight and altered it a bit .

On Sunday evening, August the 28 2017, “The ruthless Floyd Mayweather recorded a 10th round TKO(Technical Knockout) over mixed martial arts champion Conor McGregor in their boxing match in the sahara desert.” But… this information is wrong, McGregor knocked the 40 year old, rich, short, bald Floyd Mayweather out. Mayweather got too hot to stay in the desert so McGregor tired him out and then… BANG knocked him straight out and into China for some cat and dog for dinner. McGregor earned 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollars from just from one sunny, hot ,blazing, sandy, cactusy, tumble weedy fight. Mayweather was sooooooooooo dehydrated afterwards that he drank 4 million litres of Gatorade and skulled the whole thing back in 2 seconds. On the other hand McGregor just walked all the way back to Ireland to celebrate and get drunk. He spent all the money on jetpacks, flying cars, penthouses, mansions, theme parks, schools, company's, shoes, cafes, shops, bragging rights so he can walk into Floyd's house and start laughing and saying stuff that is not true, pets, boxing stadiums, basketball courts, the NBA, flying shoes, time machines, iPads, phones, guns and last of all Floyd Mayweather. While Floyd was working for McGregor he was sipping on tequila and champagne on cruise ships and four hours later he decided to hit the hay. And that is what ACTUALLY happened on the Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather fight.

Art Inquiry Workshop

Kathy Klein

Nature mandala.

What I think about nature mandalas is... that they are really awesome and fun to make. The reason that I went into this workshop is because it doesn't harm animals or plants and it uses lots of different and exiting colours.

I have learnt that Kathy Klein was born in 1958 and now is 59 years of age.

I am looking forward to making the actual art really colourful. I'm going to be the best in the school.

Click here to watch a video about some of the mandalas that Kathy Klein has made.

Inquiry

This Term for inquiry we have been doing heaps of thing around wetlands and helping the environment. 

We have been to the waitangi wetlands to pick up rubbish and plant trees.

My favourite part was painting at zeppelin cafe and gallery.

The Clive pool was really fun, we went on a big inflatable.

It was really fun and it was an amazing experience.

Maths

W.A.L.T: Do fractions and decimals.

In our workshops we have been using " passports " to do our maths. We have to go to at least 8 workshops altogether. Everyone has workons and those are the workshops you have to go to. Maths has been cool over the last term.

P.E

W.A.L.T: do skills for netball like shooting, passing, stance and catching.

Shooting this Term has been really fun and cool. The teacher did a really good job on teaching us how to pass and catch. She taught us how to do a stance that is used in netball.This Term we have been doing netball. Netball as surprisingly fun. It's a fast pace game and there's lots of running involved. I think everyone has been having a fun time playing and learning things.

Inquiry

WALT: learning about our backyard.

This Term, the senior school of Clive School had been on an EOTC experience. We have been to Te Mata Peak, Waimarama beach, Clive Pools, Clive River to go on the waka and to finish it off we went on a very funny and cool treasure hunt.

Here, students from room 9 and room 7 are lining up to go to the top of the lifeguard lookout. It was really awesome looking almost all the way down the entire beach.

We are doing stretches to warm up as it wasn't that warm there. I got to do a stretch for everyone. The lifeguard was really cool she always helped out when needed.

Here, we had to get a safety rule and act it out. I got to wear all the fancy clothes. It was really fun and there were lots of laughs going around. At the end my pants fell down in front of everyone. I still laughed.

It was really really really fun .

Next step: Learn MORE about our back yard.
