My Favourite Part Of The Year - 2017

Hello Everyone, Today I am going to tell you about my favourite part of the year.  My favourite of the year was... Camp! Waikowhai Primary's school camp was at Mt Ruapehu. I really enjoyed the camp because it was a chance to get out of my comfort zone and try something I had never done before. The school camp as really fun because we got to have fun skiing with our friends and we also got to do other fun things like have a games night. Some small things went wrong like losing gear but that didn't matter, the whole point of camp is to learn about confidence and perseverance. It took a long time to get there but it was worth it in the end! I can remember myself struggling to ski and I got really annoyed, but I didn't give up and in the end I was skiing properly! Here are a few photos from camp!

    Kia ora Anuk,

    My name is Megan, and I will be one of the people blogging with you this summer for the Summer Learning Journey. Wow, what an awesome camp you were able to go on. Mt Ruapehu is close to my home town, Taupo. That is amazing that you kept on trying and finally conquered the art of skiing. Congratulations!

    I am thrilled that you've registered for the Summer Learning Journey with us. I know it can sometimes be tricky to get started. I have included a link to the week one activities, but remember, you can do them in any order! Check out the activities on our website, and then post your responses to the activities here on your blog site.

Hi bloggers, Hope you guys are having a great day. Anyway, This term we have been doing lots of independent work in class. We now have our own writing, numeracy and reading tumble. We have all sorts of tasks to do, from vocabulary activities, to rounding and compensating. In my writing tumble I have wrote about a temple in Cambodia, Angkor Wat, have a look! I have just entered the sacred temple. Woah, look at this place! What should I do first? How about that door on my right? Yeah, let's do it! Look at the Buddha statue! It's Gigantic! It looks awesome from here. Angkor Wat is really quite the visit! The crow of the birds is very loud, and the trees are towering! The trees looks hundreds of years old, imagine the history this temple contains as well! It is steaming hot in Cambodia, this was the wrong the wrong day to wear a sweater. I wonder what else is done in Angkor Wat Temple, well it is a Buddhist temple, maybe religion is practised here. Dust is scattered all over ...

Hey guys, hows it been? Anyways in Te Waka Ako we had a technology rotation were we did an activity in each class. (Waitemata, Manukau, Hauraki)  In Waitemata, we did a problem solving challenge where we used paper, tape, a plastic cup, sticks, and straws. Our goal was to create a bridge or structure of some sort to carry an average sized marble. Here are some photos of students having a go at the challenge!  In my group we used lots of straws, tape and string to carry our marble! This group used sticks and and cut their plastic cup to create this structure! In Manukau, we learnt how circuits are made and how electrons flow through steel objects. We used a Lithium battery , a LED light, Tinfoil, and pins to create our own circuits. Look below for some images of students trying to make circuits! This person used the Tinfoil as wires to create a circuit! This person used door pegs and tinfoil for his circuit! ...

Hey Bloggers, Hope you are having a magical day! Our WALT was to combine prior knowledge with what we've learnt, in this, case using my knowledge about floods and house and then adding with what the text has said. In my reading group, we read about tsunamis hitting Samoa, and we talked about what makes a Tsunami-Proof home. I used Tinkercad  to make a village that could withstand a Tsunami, here it is! (Also check out the text 'Building For The Future' below) Here is a big vault on stands to withstand a Tsunami. Metal sheets are screwed onto the the base plate. If high amounts of water come, the stand will help the vault. Inside the vault, there is lots of citizens' houses, and a food market and water tap because they are need to survive. A bit of the text from 'Building For The Future' I hope you enjoyed reading my blog post, I really appreciate it. Maybe next time I'll change the outside ...
