Intermediate Visit Blog Post

 Wow! Intermediate visit was the BEST! The beginning was boring but it went from boring to fun REAL QUICK!

We gathered in the principal started calling people's letters on their hands. The 1st group went to fill out the form, while the others listened to the principal. Next we filled out the forms. When we went to get fizzy and ice blocks I realized I forgot my hat in the classroom. 

We had lunch and had a bit of a play. Their bell sounded like a fire alarm! I was still eating my PB sandwich while the other kids had a play. We started playing with the Tabloids equipment, but lunch ended and we changed into out togs. 

We got into our lines. We walked over to the fire brigade, when suddenly it started spraying water. Everyone went crazy and started running through the water. The pressure wasn't as bad as I thought, but it still hurt. The water was also extremely cold, so I was freezing. 

We rotated through the stations, but we missed out on the water slide because the weather was not very good and everyone was cold. After what seemed forever, we finally got onto the bus. The visit was AMAZING!

We also learned about Fibonacci Sequence! Click here for the Digital Learning Object about it:

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!

Term 4 is going to be CRAZY!!!!

 It's the 1st week of term 4 and oh man... IT'S CRAZY! But to not spoil it for you I will only write about this week. 

A new change is that every morning we line up for Kapa Haka and instead of LTP we have athletics practice. Year six camp is also next week and unfortunately Splash Planet is closed. ;-;. So for the meanwhile at camp were going to learn new stuff but we'll also not be able to sleep at the aquarium. 

We also have speeches in Week 3 on Thursday. I have finished writing my speech but now I need to practice it! We also went to a Monarch/ Butterfly show on Wednesday and it was amazing! At athletics practice we did ball throw, 200m sprint, 50m sprint, long jump, high jump. 

In the Monarch butterfly show they did a act about a transport company that wants to build a road through the lavacreak bush (This is not a real place) and they're chopping down all the plants to make way but it's destroying the butterflies home. So an old grandma which is a scientist decides to go to the environment court but when she's about to go a scientist that works for the transport company ties her up but she has to go, because her nanna is in hospital.  The granny doesn't make it to court so her granddaughter has to tell her speech in front of everyone. They end up stopping the plan to build a road. 

For my athletics I really enjoyed ball throw. Although I didn't throw the ball far, I enjoyed it and felt like I'm best at that. After ball throw we went to 200m sprints and 50m sprints. The 200m was really exhausting but the 50m sprint was fun! The next day we got to long jump and high jump. I was improving and getting better at long jump than last year. But I feel like I got worse at high jump because I couldn't even jump over the lowest! So I need to improve at high jump.
