Week 4 Term 4 Blog post

 Man the beginning of this week was CRAZY! 

On Monday we had writing samples until Morning Tea. After Morning Tea we had speech finals until lunchtime. The winners were: Klara (Y5) and Naia (Y6). The people that went to the finals were: Ben and Zofia (Y6), Klara, Charlotte M(Y5) in R2. In Room 3 was: Mako and Naia (Y6) and Rio (Y5).

On Tuesday we went to school photos! We're also starting PBL next week. I also found out that my score for my writing sample was 31! And we also had learning through play! On Wednesday they told us that the chess tournament will be next week on Wednesday! We need an adult and transport and permission to go! I'm really excited about the chess!

Craft Fair is next week as well! This term is going by so fast! We also got Maths-Whizz extended for 1 more week! We're also making new calendar art! This is my progress so far!

Final week of PBL in Term 3

 Wow... the time flies by so fast! It's the final week of PBL in Term 3! We finally made some progress this week. Monday was cross country so we didn't do it then. On Tuesday we finally started! Because Angus kept forgetting pine cones, Koka Ngaire suggested that we use fronds! We went to the medicinal garden, dipped the fronds in the peanut butter and started hanging them. Mako climbed up the tree and we hanged about 4-6. There was still lots left but we decided to go back to class.

The next day we were busy for a bit and then after morning tea, we did Kapa Haka then we went to go hang the rest of the bird feeders. We didn't do as much but we still did lots. But we made too many bird feeders and we still have lots sitting in the box with the bird seeds, the string, and the peanut butter! Koka Ngaire also took pictures of our bird feeders so I will share them at the end of my blog post!

At the end of the day we didn't manage to finish everything but we did start on our reflection.

PBL Week 3!

 Near the end of the term! This week we are making sure that we have the materials and we are answering questions Koka Nolians asked us! I will now share links and screenshots of our work!

Project Based Learning!

So the beginning of the week we started PBL (PROJECT based learning, which is only for self directed learners) which is really fun. We have to create something that will make our school better and we went for bird feeders. On Monday we already finished all our PBL work and our group name is RAM (Robbie, Anroux and Mako). From here on under I will link pictures from our slide!

I also leveled up to pro on Maths-Whizz!
