Play, Make, Create

Today Whetu read a book called we are all equal. I worked by myself and I think it went pretty good. I made a house with a bamboo roof Mrs M helped me make that. I weekend that the bamboo roof out really good. If I was to change one thing it would be the bed inside the house.

Play, Make, Create

This is my play, make, create, are used paper Sharpie and colouring pencils. I think I chose a pretty good quote for on my paper. this thing was probably the colouring in. I worked by myself and if I was to change one thing it would be nothing.  

Whetu Challenge Newspaper Tower

This is my newspaper tower it was going pretty good we got it very tall. Then it got to heavy on one side and fell over then is wouldn't stand back up. I was the best at rolling up tight newspaper rolls for the tower. 

 

Fabulous Finish

This is my fabulous finish for my literacy. I'm pretty happy how it turned out it looks pretty good. The thing I liked the most about the person is probably the drawings on the inside of the body underneath the flaps. If I was to change one thing it 

would be the shorts on him, the colour doesn't look very good. The hardest part was definitely drawing the body. The easiest thing was colouring it in.

                    THEODORE THE UNSURE 

This week for play, make, create I made a decision wheel. I used bamboo, cardboard, tape, and string.I didn't work with anyone but I worked alongside Max. I think that cutting out the circle worked pretty well. If I was to change one thing it would be the tripod holding up the wheel.

                                                                       

                 

                 

                 

                 

                 

                 

Whetu Challenge Kite Day

    KITE DAY

On Friday it was kite day and I made a kite shaped like a A frame. The materials that I use was silage wrap, bamboo, string, tape and ribbon. I worked by myself but along side max and we did the same idea. I would change the shape of the kite to make it even, also I would change the amount of bamboo on the kite. The thing that work well was making the kite although it didn't fly:(

                                  Be you

To day for Play, make, create I worked by myself and I made a fishing rod that can catch an eel like an arcade game.

I used bamboo, paper clips, string, and cardboard.

What work well was finding a stick (aka bamboo) and also tying  hook to the string.

If I was to change one thing it would be the look of the eel, I would probably colour it in.

NumBots & TTRockstars Blog Post

 

Term 2, Week 1 2021

During Term 1 we have been practising our addition and subtraction knowledge through the online programme called NumBots.  At the start it was super easy but progressively got more challenging.

I am now on glass on witch is the 8th level up on NumBots. 

I enjoy NumBots because I like passing the levels as I go.

What I find challenging is the block questions because I have to add them up.

This week we have started TTRockstars again.  This is an online programme which helps us to learn our timetables.

I think that TTRockstars will be pretty fun now that I have passed the studio games (Thank god thats over).

                              Duck Jet  Boat

  Max and I made a funky looking duck jet boat, the books that it was based off was up the creak. The materials that we do it was cardboard, kebab sticks, ice block sticks and hot glue. the thing that work well was the ice block sticks on the bottom of the boat. If we were to change something about our boat it would be the wheels been further down so it could actually go on land. 

Whetu Fun Day

Whetu Fun Day

Last Thursday we had a Whetu Fun Day as our camp was postponed.  Our teachers planned a fun day for us instead!  We participated in a Whetu Amazing Race, a range of different fun rotations, a BBQ lunch and play on the council playground then we finished the day with an Easter Egg hunt and an ice block.

My favourite part of the Amazing Race was Running around town and finding the Easter eggs with my teammates and my parent witch was Isaac's dad. In my group there was Isaac, zayden, Jacob,Leo and james.

The rotation I enjoyed the most was the only one I did which was Picasso bunnies. We used pastel to colour them in,I only just finished it in time.

During the Easter Egg Hunt I found my stick sticking out of ground of the field, It was so hard to find because it was only just sticking out of a crack.

The giraffe and the bush.

This is the giraffe that Max and I made with some leaves, some sticks and hot glue. The easiest part was finding all the leaves and breaking the sticks. The  hardest part was finding all the dead sticks from the trees. 

 

Hockey Big Day Out

 On Monday year five and six's had hockey big day out. Witch I am a pretty good hockey player and I had people that had never played in my team, witch was quite frustrating but I dealt with it and help out the newbies sinse the wernt very experienced players. It was fun and I got about 14 goals with is good for only 10 games.  

Week 5, Term 1, 2021

On Monday was our school Swimming Sports. On the day I entered into four races and came first in my one length freestyle, third in my two length freestyle and for my one and two length breaststroke.

We had two art sessions this week and I would say I have improved a lot on the designs and the concept of landscape.

In reading this week we have been reading a book about the magic finger by Roald Dahl so far we have been summarisers and predictors.

Part of our maths programme is NumBots and I think I am pretty good for myself considering that I’m not the best at math.I am steel on numbots which I think is pretty good.

The most interesting/fun thing we have done during class time this week is our art with Mrs Kennedy

We started our art this week and I have chosen to do art with Mrs Kennedy, Our art is going to be landscape which I thought was going to be pretty cool and It was;)

We created our Whetū stars on Thursday and they look Extremely cool every single one of them.  

Next week we have our school swimming sports. I am feeling very nervous because i'm not the best swimmer but I will give it a go.

Week 3, Term 1, 2021

 Week 3, Term 1, 2021

Someone who has helped me with my learning this year is Mrs Kennedy in swimming for breaststroke. Because my arms were wrong and I would have got disqualified.

The most interesting/fun thing we have done during class time is the obstacle course which was one of the Whetu challenges.  

The most fun thing that I have done at a play or lunch time this year is playing on the barrels with my best friend Max.

One word that describes learning in Whetu is fun.

Something I am looking forward to is swimming sports.

Chapter Chat Sink Out Scale

Cracked Case

On the 23rd of November Whetu solved the   crime scene.
We got Mrs Taaffe in and we asked   her some questions about what had happend.   She confirmed that she was the suspect that took the dongal and stole the chocolate's  from Whetu. The reasons why we thought it was Mrs Taaffe is because she was at school on the day, she uses a HDMI cable daily, she wheres scrunchies, she died her hair on the day the crime happened, she likes mini chocolates, her shoe size is the exact same as the foot prints on the floor, her fingerprints are everywhere in the crime scene, she cut her hand on the day the crime scene happened, she passed outside the office.

Fingerprints 2020

 

This week we had a look at our own fingerprints.

First we put our fingers in some ink off a ink pad but there was a technique. The technique was to roll your fingers in the ink and then roll the ink on to the paper. The other day on Tuesday a police officer came in called Sally. She told us about how they find the fingerprints by dusting them with special powder, and puts a geletin sheet over the fingerprint. Then she rolled it with roller to get the print stuck on the geletin paper.
