WONDER PROJECT

                                              WONDER PROJECT!!!!

Bonjour Bloggers, yesterday we blasted off Waitemata's rockets. If you want read  about the Wonder Project then just read this blog post. My teammates names were:

• Angelina - the Captain 
• Yousuf - chief engineer 
• Anthony - chief safety officer
• Me - the chief scientist! 

After choosing what engineers we wanted to be, we started building rockets. We thought of how well it would fly or how far it would fly too. So we just waited for the shoot off which was the week after we finished building our first rockets and remember this was the final flights for the Wonder Project.

When we started shooting our rockets it went up super high but it didn't go far. To determine how far it would go or how high it would go up in the air we had to add some water into the bottle. We could put in 25 ml for our first flight and 300 ml for our last on. How much would you put in your water bottle if you made a rocket?  I would add 325ml in my bottle if I was you. Anyway when it was our turn to blast off our rocket we decided that we should point it 45 angles towards south, and mostly everyone did that too. 

Someone had to pump and of course it was me. We had to pump the pressure from 0 to 60. When we did that Angelina started recording all of the PSI or the wind. 3, 2, 1 BLAST OFF ours went super high but didn't go that far. It went 14 .36 metres, which for our group was pretty far to be honest, we even beat our own score. We went last and we were in last place but no one was mad.  When everyone did their rocket we clapped and all went inside and put away our Wonder Project equipment. And that was the whole experience of the Wonder Project. Aloha bloggers!!!!!!!

Art

                                 Printing Art     

Ki Orana Bloggers, 
This week we have been doing a lot of printing art. If you don't know what printing art is when you draw something. Then you get printing ink and spread it on a board then put your art on the board then get a pencil and trace your art. 

The colour that I choose for my art was purple. And it was such a pretty kind of purple. Purple was the colour that was famous because all of us used it. After a while of spreading my ink on my bored with my roller. I finished. Then I realised I saw so many lines so I keeped on rolling in till it was all gone. 

Then I needed my piece of art. After getting my art, I slowly put it on the board with my friend Chrystelle. Then later I took so long for me to get settled because I was so scared that I would muck it all up. Then I just went for it and did it. When I got use to drawing hard on the ink and paper. It actually felt really easy to do.

 Then after that I finished it. When I picked my art up off the bored the line was crooked but I didn't mind that at all. Then after that I finished. But the bell was about to ring so I was not allowed to add pastel. I was so happy that I finished. I was so scared to open it too. After that I washed the boards that had ink on it with my friend Santanna. Then we have finished. Thank you so much for reading my blog. See you next time bloggers!!!

Netball

                            NETBALL!!!!

Ki orana bloggers, 

Welcome back to my blog. Last week was our second game of the term! And let me tell you it was super duper fun. First thing we had to do was warm up on court 6. It was super fun just practising. All the positions I played was wing attack, goal keeper. My favourite position was wing attack. 

Tomorrow we will have a game, which I am so excited about.  And yes I will put some photos of my Netball game from last week. My mum dropped me off and before we went to my game we had a very delicious hot chocolate from Mcdonalds. Which was really yummy!!

Anyways when we got to my game none of my teammates were there, so me and my Mum went to go practise before my big game. And when my Mum was little she played Netball too. So she knows how to coach me. Anyways again, I bought my Netball ball to practise with and do some shots in the hoop.  

When the team all came we practised with my ball and to be honest I kinda felt jealous that everyone was touching it. Anyways when we started I had so much fun but I kept on passing the line all the time. And it was kinda funny. When we finished Erana got the player of the day and she really deserved it. She did really good and then we got to eat a bunch of lollies. Then everyone left. And I said goodbye to my friends. And that's all from me today, have a good weekend and stay safe. Bye bloggers❤🙋

Matariki

                                Matariki

Bula Bloggers, Welcome back to my blog.

Yesterday my whole school and I did Matariki. We all did in our own classes.

Our first block!!!  Stop motion animation

Matariki or the seven sisters. The first thing we did was to partner up with a buddy my buddy was called Peitynn. Maybe I could add the video so all you guys can watch what we made! Anyways we made our characters out of clay and we made our background out of paper and coloured it in with Maori colours like red, black and white but we didn't colour it in white. Uhhh anyways again way off track. 

Then when it was ten fifty four we had to stop. To go to morning tea.

Now we are on the second block which was kite making!!

First we had to get a strip of paper and start making patterns on the different strips of paper. Then when we were finished we had to give to the students that had to glue it on the kite. And at the end there will be some really cool photos of it!!. Again off track after everyone's pattern was glued on the massive kite we put red and black feathers on it. Then we hung up on the walls or the roof. Then we finished at 12:56.

Then after lunch we did  FRY BREAD!!!! AKA SO SO YUMM.

The first thing we had to do was so obvious washing our hands to we don't put germs on the dough. It was super easy to make all you needed was water and self raising powder how easy is that. So much times now kinda off track. Then when we finished and came back from the toilet from washing our dirty hands but not mine. Then the teacher started pouring the self raising powder and water in and made dough. Then she split so we could have a turn rolling it with a rolling pin well it wasn't a rolling pin it was actually a glad wrap roll but don't tell her I wrote it on here! Then the teacher called our group up 

and we fried my favourite part was eating it was so so so yum and yes it deserves three so's okay. We could add butter , Nutella , jam and golden syrup. Then when we were finished we cleaned up all our mess and then it was super close to three o'clock. And that's all I got to say have a good weekend and goodbye!

Cross Country!!!🏃

                  CROSS COUNTRY!

On the 2 of July I did cross country with my whole school. It all started at 11:00. And you had to line up in your year group. I was in year 5. Then when the bell rang we all went to our station. The first station I went to was when you could go on the playground and you could play indoor house games like chess or jenga. My favourite game was jenga I had so much fun playing. Then after that the bell rang and when the bells rings you have to take your year chair and go to your next station.

 The next station we went to is tennis. Me and Airielle were partners for it. And let me tell you were so bad at it. It was such a total disaster. And so we moved to another place which was way more better because when other people hit their ball and our ball was running away from me it nearly hit my face. We only do the activity for like 20 minutes. When 20 minutes passed by so fast we had to get in the line really hard to do that.

 Then we moved to our next station which was DUN DUN DUNNNN  Blindfold challenge. Before we had to start we had to pick another partner boring. My partner was Chrystelle she was super nice when it was my turn. Anyways for the game you had to put a blindfold on in then your partner had to tell you to go left right forward to pick up the beanbags. Then we had to lead them back to the start and some got points if you did well. Then the bell rang and I was so happy because it was kinda boring sorry and I am telling the truth. 

Our next station was cheering then it would be the hardest thing of all of them the RUNNING and I was so lucky because they had to run last. Anyways way off track we started cheering for the year 4s. I saw my cousin run Valerie. And let me tell you I shouted with all my voice and I nearly threw my voice out of my house. Which means I nearly lost my voice. 

Then it was finally our turn and the boys got to go first which was mean. Then it started and I was so tired so fast. The year 5's and 6's had to run two times and I was so so tired of running then I was nearly there and I made it I came 6th place out of all of it. I was pretty happy with coming 6th place so now I don't have to go to zones which was really hard. Cause I have been there before. I actually thought I would maybe come 1st 2nd or 3rd. Here is some photos of when I struggled running. And there might be a photo of you too. Blog you later🙋🙋

     Some of my friends running too.

  My awesome STRONG FINISH .

                        Poem Recital 👌

Bonjour bloggers, Welcome back to my blog. 

Yesterday we did our poem recital. My poem was called My flat cat here is a link to it. We had 4 weeks to memorise it. And Luckily I memorised all of mine when it was my turn. I also did some actions but not much. If you did action you would get extra points. Anyways our  deputy principal Ms McGrath came to see our recital as it was part of our production audition. I was very nervous and excited at the same time too. And after we said our poem she would ask us an easy question. She would say what would your first reference be and your second one a role in production. I said minor or major roll. My favourite part of it was when it was all finished. I had butterflies in my stomach when it was my turn. I felt relieved after I finished my poem and sat down on the floor for the next person to go up. When everyone finished we went back into our own classes. Hope you liked the poem I linked to this blog post. Blog you later!🙋🙋🙋

Reading choiceboard

                   Reading choice board

Talofa lava bloggers, Welcome back to my blog. In school after we stopped doing choice board we started reading in our real reading classes. We have been doing all types of new activities that we haven't heard or done before like the poem called Black Brother by Joshua Iosefa. That was my favorite reading task. 

You had to write the whole poem that he said and I am only half way through it. 

Anyway in my reading class we have been reading this book called  Proud Blue. It was a very inspirational book to read. In our choice board I choose to do another task called read & respond. For this activity I had to read the book Proud Blue. Then after that I had to write what I liked about it what I didn't like and what I didn't understand about it. It was a like  four minute job which I liked.

 Here is a photo of the poem Black Brother and the story called Proud Blue Blog you later🙋🙋🙋
