Week 2 blog post.

This week is pretty normal. Only changes is that Koka Jo had to go in class Wednesday instead of Thursday. I also had to go home early on Tuesday because I didn't feel well and Wednesday I'm back at school because my parents are at work.

There isn't much to tell you this week because nothing interesting happened. The only interesting thing that happened was that we finally fully started LTP. I went to Junkey Monkey. In Junkey Monkey you take apart toys to see what is inside them. We also had to change the workshop timetable a bit because Koka Terri isn't going to be in class for 1 block.

Our maths strand group started mapping the school. So today (Wednesday) we're going to walk around our school to find places and see if our maps are correct. And our maps were correct. Next week we're going to tell our buddies how to get to certain points using instructions.

For Huia reading (Level 3 reading) we had to find problems in our community and this Thursday we're going to write how to solve one of them! Then we're going to make a app. The problems I could find was reckless driving, swearing, pollution, drunk driving, forestry slash, illegal rubbish dumping, plastic in the ocean, illegal graffiti, vandalism and homeless people.

I'm also on road patrol Monday afternoons. And we have cross country in week 5... there is no special event this week. I do not know what else to say! And that is my blog for Week 2 Term 3!

First Week At School In Term 3 2020

This term is WAY more different than term 2! First thing we did on Monday morning is look at the new
check in sheet! Which is way more different. This is how it used to look: Click here And this is how it
looks now: Click here. Then we went through our priorities until brain break. After brain break we did
ninja maths (Click here) until morning tea. There is a LOT of changes this term but were getting used
 to it.

This term we also started LTP (Learning through play). LTP only happens on Mondays and Tuesdays.
The options are, Planet Construct, Cardboard Nation, Junky Monkey and Makey Makey. My favorite is
 Junkey Monkey because you get to take apart hard toys and see what's inside them.

This term we also have to show evidence that we did stuff so that's a new feature on the check in page.
We also had a quick write about endangered animals this week. There are a lot of changes this term as I
said earlier.

This week we also started a new book series called The Bone Tiki! It's a book about a boy whose dad is a lawyer but he works with people that do illegal business. In the book the mom and dad are also divorced. We were reading 39 clues the maze of bones but we stopped because people finished reading the book on epic (I'm only at chapter 6 and I'm behind BY FAR because I was away the week when they started reading it so now I'm stressed about it).

Just Dance is not happening this term (And I'm sad about that) and.. a lot of people are upset. ;-;
But Just Dance is still happening in discovery! YAY! :) So Just Dance is completely gone, but were still upset about it. Man I'm going to miss Waka Waka. Speaking of Waka Waka, Wednesday term 2 on the last week of school we performed the song Waka Waka. I was the only person who remembered to bring my costume. But I don't know our score because I was away on Thursday, to get ready for Friday when we go to Auckland.
