Ocean Conservation

On Monday this week a woman came in to talk to us about rubbish in the ocean. Her name was Libby Bowles. She had been biking though New Zealand on a bamboo bike going to schools to promote what she is trying to do which is stopping the rubbish in the ocean. After Libby had left we had to create a google drawing about what she was talking to us about. We had to include images things we learnt and what we were going to do about the rubbish.

P&I Show Poster

A couple of weeks ago in Te Ngahere we made a digital poster for the P&I Show. We had to create a google drawing and include lots of pictures and information about the show like where, the time, the date and the events. I learnt a lot of things about the P&I Show when I was researching about it for my poster. Did you know that the P&I Show was celebrating its 175th year? I really enjoyed making my poster.

Visual Mihi

In week one of term 4 we were asked to make a visual mihi on a google drawing. We had to pick images that we thought would remind us about a part in the mihi we do in the morning. We also had to write a little summery under them why the image reminds us of parts of the mihi.

Student LED Conferences

For Student LED Conferences on Wednesday we had to create a google drawing to show our parents when they came in to collect my report. This year we had to tell and show our parents what we were learning and why we were learning it. In our google drawing we had to include reading, writing, maths, art and inquiry. We had to also link our evidence that we can do it. I think my Mum really liked my google drawing.  

Matariki Day

Last week on Thursday it was Paihia Primary Schools Matariki celebration day. There were a lot of fun activities that were planned for us. There were a couple of games and we were also able to plant trees. Everyone in the school had to bring a celebration food. When I mean celebration food I mean the food you would eat when you have a celebration. Then when it was lunch everyone would bring out their food. The juniors would go up first then the seniors. The food was perfect it was so delicious. I really enjoyed that  day.

Waitangi Trip

Last week on Tuesday Paihia School went on a trip down to Waitangi Treaty Grounds. The Juniors left school in the morning and came back in the afternoon and the seniors left school at lunch and came back when school finished. While we were at the Treaty Grounds the people who worked there had planned us some activities. One of the activities was planting  trees we also got to make  kites out of flax and we played some maori games that children use to play when they were young. I was learning to weave a kite I found weaving very difficult.

Fidget Spinner

Hello, a couple weeks ago Te Ngahere were writing persuasive story on  fidget spinner. The writing was about should we have fidget spinner at school and in the classroom. I wrote two sides I wrote we should be able to have them at school but not in class time, I was learning to use the correct persuasive structure. We also had a follow up activity for our fidget spinner writing. We were drawing and designing our own fidget spinner. We were learn to use crayon and dye while filling all the gaps. I enjoyed the art and I don’t like art in class so it was good I enjoyed it.   

Ice Cream

A couple of weeks ago on Friday Te Ngahere had to opportunity to make ice cream. We had to get a 100% record in our learning plan to make ice cream. We also had follow up activities that we had to do for reading and then we wrote a recount about making ice cream. In my reading I was learning to answer full questions. In my writing I was practicing using metaphors. I really enjoyed making ice cream.

Tim Tipene

Last week we had a special kiwi author visit our school. His name is Tim Tipene. Tim writes picture books for kids. Tim said to as that there are a warrior in each of us. I enjoyed it when he read his story Hinemoa Te Toa to us. The books I know that Tim Tipene has written is Hinemoa Te Toa, Maui Sun Catcher and Taming a Taniwha. I have never read any of his books but I have had people who have read the book to me.
