PINK SHIRT DAY!

Aloha bloggers, last week was pink shirt day and everyone at school had to wear pink. Anyway in the morning we did wen to take a big photo all together and we shaped a pink t- shirt. After that we had fruit break and all the Y6s had to go to Ms Sands to learn a new game for cultural day. Mrs Maiava came to teach us a new game called Ki O'Rahi it took quite a long time to learn how to play and play the game it was really fun in the end and was so hard at the same time. After trying to learn how to play Ki O'Rahi after that we came inside to do some blogging. A long time after blogging about Spark Arena it felt like a eternity, we finally got outside when the bell rang and went to do my duties. HEHEHE DUTIES... 

Anyway during morning tea me and my friends got out a bike. We went outside and started riding it was so fun because we had loads of races and I think I won some of them. After what felt like another fun hour of playing outside and riding bikes the handbell rang to take the bikes and equipment back to the shed. The bell was about te rang then all In heard was RING RING RING the bell rang so I raced my friends back to class and we finished our blogs. A while after blogging and finishing many unfinished stuff we were doing dance. We learnt how to dance in Tongan the week before and we learnt how to do more like dance in Samoan HOW FUN RIGHT! Anway that all that we did!

         PROCEDURAL WRITING TEXT!!!

Aloha bloggers, this week and last week we were learning how to write instructions or also called procedural text. Tinkling is a game where you have two bamboos sticks and three people. One person is jumping while the other two people doing this type of rhythm with the bamboo sticks its a super fun game and maybe you can try it out! 

There are so much ways to play this game and it was really fun learning this game. The coolest part about writing a procedural text was that I got to learn how to play this fun game while writing a procedural text. Check out the TE WAKA AKO BLOG TOO! I hope you enjoy taking a read or just a look at my work. ALOHA bloggers!!!

                 STEM WEEK WAIKOWHAI STUDENT LED TOOLKITS!

Aloha bloggers,

Last week we had a student led toolkits in school for STEM WEEK. We had twenty four presenters and twelve  toolkits they had forty five minutes minutes to teach us what they had like book creator and have fun. We had to choose three of those options. The three main options that I chose was Makey Makey, Sphero, Webcam toy. 

 My first toolkit I did was Makey Makey it was so fun because we got to make music with either playdough, a banana or with legos. It super fun but honestly I just liked the piano and the bongo and fiddling with them. My favourite part about doing the Makey Makey was that I got to play the piano by making keys out of different things and also playing the bongos with some play dough and legos. I really liked doing Makey Makey because of al
l the music we were making.

 My second toolkit that I went to was Webcam Toy. It is on google and you just need to type webcam toy in the address bar have fun! Anyway me and my friend Santanna basically took funny photos the whole time it was so funny and fun. We had so much fun taking funny photos for forty five minutes to take as much photos as we could. During the forty five minutes Miss Daly my teacher was taking photos of all our photos. A couple minutes later we had to switch and go to our next toolkit.

 My last toolkit was the Sphero and it was the funniest of all the toolkits I did because we got to control the little Sphero from our chromebooks the best part of all was that it could change colours and we made a maze for it with chairs. It was the best and I loved chasing it around and putting it on the ramps. It was so so so fun cool at the same time. I loved  doing the Spheros and changing the colours and chasing it around.  It was so fun and I would definitely do all of it again. Aloha Bloggers!

Y6 TRIP TO SPARK ARENA

                        SPARK ARENA!!!

Aloha bloggers, This morning at 9:00am the year sixes went to spark arena. It took us 15 - 20 minutes. Traffic was slow but we finally got there and we were so excited to get in. I sat with my friend Arielle and in front of us was my other friends Erana and Chrystelle. It felt really cool and  for some reason it felt so huge in the bus. We played a game because we were bored, so decided we were waving at random people who drove passed us and who ever got the most waves back won. We finally got there and boy were we excited. Me and my friends were walking and talking at the same time. We went inside and sat down. My teacher Ms Daly and Ms Jones took a photo with Suzy Cato before we went inside. They looked excited taking photos with Suzy Cato.

Anway Suzy Cato and the CEO of of Spark Arena showed us around and told us two or more things about Spark Arena. We first went to HAPPY PLACE me and my friends and were so excited to jump into the ball pit. We waited in line. What felt like 10 hours, we finally made it to the front.We walked up the stairs and the helper for the ball pit called 4,3,2,1 JUMP!. We jumped with excitement. Its really funny how we waited for so long, and it only felt like a 2 minute thrill. But I admit. It was worth the wait.  We walked and saw a rubber ducky room that was all yellow including the balls and the bath tub that. It felt weird being in a room full of rubber duckies.

Next we walked and saw an upside down room and waited in line to take a photo. The line was so long but then we realised that we could have another jump in the ball pit so we went for another round and this time it didn't take long for me to get out and I was very proud. Anyway we left the Happy Place and went to Sounds Fun We looked at frames that were signed by artist like Bruno Mars and Katy Perry and way more people it was so cool. We played an electric drum and played some keys and notes on a piano Me and my friends tried a trombone. It like a trumpet but it sounded deep. My first go at it and it sounded so bad. It was really fun making a lot of funny noises and to me it kinda sounded like a dying elephant. 

Then after Sounds Fun we went to Van Gogh alive it was really cool and really interesting well I guess to me. The year sixes were taking a photo while I was still reading about Van Gogh. I didn't realise until I looked back and they were taking a photo WITHOUT ME  how RUDE! so I quickly walked there and sat down to take a photo with the other year sixes. Me and my friends went to go sit down on the floor while the projector was casting Van Gogh painting on the floor. My favourite Van Gogh painting was the live train painting. After a while at staring and looking at Van Gogh's amazing paintings we left. 

Next we walked into a whole room of daisys it was really cool. The room smelt like daisies. It had mirrors all over the room and it made it look like we were in a field of daisies. it was a really cool effect. We were done with the day but the Spark Arena staff gave us a pack of food and it was so delicious. The lunch pack came with an apple, juice, ham sandwich and chippies. Once we finished lunch we walked to the bus and hoped on with my friends. Traffic was way better then when we left in the morning. it only took ANOTHER 5- 15 minuets before we got back to school in time for lunch time. And that was my day and experience at Spark Arena. Thank you for reading my blog. ALOHA BLOGGERS!!

              

       

   

 

READING CULTURAL GAMES ( BOSSABALL)

                              BOSSABALL

Aloha bloggers, for reading this week we choose to do cultural sports like bossaball from Spain. So we read around 5 different games from other countries there was way more sports than I thought. So that's why I choose bossaball. Bossaball looked really fun so I choose it. I did a infographic about bossaball it was really fun to make and find four facts or information. Me and my friends mostly did the same thing like my friend Erana. My favourite fact about bossaball is that volleyball and football were combined together in 2005 to make bossaball. Another fun fact about bossaball is samba referees are coaches of bossaball and not only are they coaches they are a the DJ’S TOO! Anyway here is a link to my infographic! Aloha bloggers!! HERE IS A PHOTO OF IT!

                             ANZAC DAY 

Aloha bloggers,

On Wednesday the 14th my birthday we experienced what it was like at war. Early in the morning our teachers Miss Daly, Mrs Sands and Mrs Jones set up some wires about a metre off the ground. It was called ' No Mans Land' which is called trenches are a underground hiding place and a place where you would shoot their enemy. Every time you would touch a wire the teachers would take a point away. The points started at ten and I stayed at ten WOOP WOOP!

 Anway after they did the roll and everything everybody came in and had to go into the wires and had to grab our art books on the way. We got in and guess what we had to do. WE HAD TO DO BASIC FACTS. In the trenches everybody was mad and bored. And to make that moment even worser there was sound effects that sounded like bombs, guns, people dying and so much things. Everybody didn't really like the sounds. But I kinda did. The next day we got our tests I got a 53 which was not that bad for me actually.

After the basic facts test and sounds we had fruit and 2 laps of the field. It was not to bad until we went back in. My knees felt like they were on rocks and the wires were just every where so I bargained to start doing my rolly polly on the floor and I nearly almost hit my head on my birthday. After our fruit we did ANZAC maths. It started off easy then hard than even more harder. After that some people could go swimming if you bring your togs if you didn't than you had to stay. 

Sergeant Jones took us and we swam for about ten minutes It was raining so bad. Then we did swimming,
it was finally morning tea and everybody knees felt a little better. After morning tea we wrote letters for our parents and had to write a acrostic poem. Well all of that took about 3 minutes and after that we did picto draw and that was really fun picto draw was like when a teacher says what happened and then you get like one minute to draw it.  Next we started drawing and we finished and got a buddy and had to blind fold them and unwind the strings. 

Here is a link to my letter in docs and my poem LINK. After that fun day I felt so good and everybody sang happy birthday to me and started to pack up and take the furneters down. It was such a fun day and had ton of fun. Thank you so much for reading my blogs and can't wait to blog next term. Aloha bloggers!

LOCKDOWN 4

                                   LOCKDOWN  4

Aloha Bloggers, last week Auckland had another lockdown. It was pretty scary but luckily it was only for one week. For some odd reason it was kinda fun. The only bad reason I hated about lockdown is that I couldn't see my friends and family during it so that was pretty sad. Anyway I got to drop off some cinnamon rolls to my friend and I really missed her. That was kinda fun.

After that I hoped that we went back to level 2 next week and we did and now I am really happy that we did go back. Anyway my favourite activity for school was doing the lockdown diary. I really had fun doing it everyday. It was really fun I didn't know that we had to finish the whole slide so I was kinda sad about that.

I really loved the lockdown diary it was the best. In lockdown 1 my dad built a cool playground. The
playground had a seesaw, slide and a swing we still have all of it and played on it yesterday. It was so much fun. we decorated it with some chalks to but it rained and came off. That was sad hard work going back to nowhere. 

But today is school and I was really excited to come back after lockdown. But I was late so I was kinda mad about that. But I did see my friends and I really did missed them. Anyway we are doing blogging now which I really did miss school but we couldn't go. Anyway I am back at school ready and having fun. Hopefully you do too. Aloha bloggers and have a good day.
