Hi bloggers!

Today we started a taskboard, and I started to do the Winter Sports.

But all the year sixes got their first choice, so yay for us year sixes. I started with Hockey, because it is one of my fav sports. My reasons were:

Because it is a fun and an extreme sport. Because I LOVE hockey and played it last year. I have all the gear.

My reasons for Volleyball were: Because I played it last year. It was fun to compete against other teams. I loved doing the shooters job when it was my turn.

My reasons for Netball were:  Because I have never played except with Mrs Lee. It looks like a fun and easy sport. Because I liked learning about Liz Watson and how shy she was before she played Netball.

The task we had to do was a sports selection, so we had to choose our favorite ones, and then do three reasons about why we should get put into the sport. So the reasons I put up there, those were my reasons. Did you like them? What would you choose? Make sure you comment your response below. Enjoy learning  about these fun and easy sports!

Bye guys!

Hi bloggers!

This term we are doing poetry as our topic. FUN FACT: Poetry is one of the oldest forms of communication, mostly used in Africa and Ancient Egypt. These poems were hunting poems.

The first task was to record yourself saying one of the poems. I chose the I wish poem. It was one about the zoo. Here are the words of the poem.

I wish i was an elephant cause it would make me laugh to use my nose like a garden hose to rinse myself in the bath.  I wish i was a chameleon chameleons are the best id change my color and life would be fuller for a change is as good as rest. I wish i was a dolphin dolphin would be my wish leaping and splashing id be very dashing and swim along with the fish. I wish i was an ostrich  all ostrich would be grand but if i got scared would i be prepared to bury my head in the sand. I wish i had more wishes but now my game is through i’m happy to to be quite simply me enjoy the day at the zoo

Here is my Canva video.

The second task was to make a word search.

Hi bloggers!

Today we used a new app called kids zone!

You can use it to make line graphs, bar graphs, etc. But today we did line graphs. It was really fun to customize the settings to make them how you want them. I used the basic colors, Pinks and purples. It was fun to fiddle around, making your work look awesome! If you want to use this awesome website, here’s what it’s called.

National Center for Educational Statistics.

If you want to get to where I was, search up Early childhood.

If you love math, make sure to go onto this awesome website!

So first we had to make sure to be specific, doing all the little details, such as the x/y axis. You need to make sure that it’s clear. But then we had to do the title etc. Bye guys!

Hi bloggers!

There is actually no Walt this week!

We read to the end of the book. It is so sad we finished it!!!

Wonder is actually a really good story. It has so much kindness, but just a tiny bit of bullying (Thanks Julian!) It was really fun to read this story. Here are all the awards it got again. 2014 Maine Student Book Award, Vermont’s Dorothy Canfield Fisher Children’s Book Award, the 2015 Mark Twain Readers Award, Hawaii’s 2015 Nene Award, and the Junior Young Reader’s Choice Award for 2015. In Illinois, it won both the Bluestem and Caudill Awards in 2014. Wow. That is a lot of awards. Here is some facts about wonder!

• Auggie’s facial deformity is called Mandibulofacial Dysostosis (MFD), also known as Treacher Collins Syndrome. …
• Jacob Tremblay and his family went to the Children’s Craniofacial Association retreat, where he got to meet and befriend children with Treacher Collins syndrome, the same syndrome that Auggie has.
• Auggie’s friends are Charlotte, Jack Will, Amos, Henry, Miles, Summer, and the two Maxes.

Those are some absolutely awesome facts, right?!

The first thing was to make a review on wonder! Here it is. The second task was to do the comprehension questions. Here they are.

• August was afraid of going to the nature retreat because of what people would think.
• August has shown greatness. He deserves his medal.
• August’s future holds great things for him.

Hi bloggers!

Today we started a taskboard while everyone else was doing a good-to-go workshop. Me and my friend Tahlia, started with math. The task was to start with Prototec. Prototec  then plan a year five camp for Wigram Primary school! Me and my friend Tahlia, did a day each. We had a budget of 140 bucks. We did go over 140, but we made a few tweaks. We planned two really fun days. Because we didn’t go over the price (YAY.) We chose the cabin, even though we had no money. Luckily we did some activities that were ZERO dollars. We just got on the 140 mark, but we had such little money. Some things were very expensive. We tried our hardest to make all of the days really fun. Some of the things we could do sounded impossible, but we did them anyway. We even did some of these things at our camp! Our camp was so much fun. We did so many fun things, even an auction! We chose the hard ones because it is good to try something new. It was fun to think about all these things. Even though our camp doesn’t exist, it was still fun to plan it. I was getting excited all over again about the camp. I wish it does exist. I hope that it sounds like fun to you as well! We decided to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner sound really good. On the last day we had to cut down on the price because it got too expensive. On the last day of Kereru’s camp, we were supposed to play animal survival, but we had to do a carnival because it was raining on the third day. The carnival was really fun. The days before that were tiring, because each activity took soooooo long. We had to go on a bouldering wall, bush ecology, and a hard obstacle course. Luckily after that second hard day of work, we got hamburgers! The first day was really tiring as well. The way we got to the camp was we took a bus ride to governors bay, and stopped at the playground for morning tea. Then after we ate, we met our camp councilors. They took us on TWO HOUR HIKE!! We went on the Allendale trail. We stopped at a farm for lunch! I can remember all the animals that were there. After that we went on, and we FINALLY got there! We all collapsed on the ground. Then we had some free time to get our room ready. THEN it was time for Afternoon tea! We were all so hungry. After that, we had a free roam around the course. Then it was time for orientation! We lost, of course. Finally, we had a break before dinner. Dinner was delicious! We had some sort of chicken curry with vegetables and naan bread! So delicious! After that we had an auction! Then we had a swim in the swimming pool. Then at about ten, we got to bed. Best day ever!

Can’t wait to go again. Cheers to living Springs for making it the best camp ever!

Hi bloggers!

The Walt for this week is Create a symmetrical pattern with a vertical line of symmetry

We had to make a baseboard with Numicon shapes. Here is the first one

Here is the second one.

bye bye

Kia Ora Amazing bloggers!

The Walt for this week is Read for sustained periods independently.

We are reading chapters Letters, Emails, Facebook, texts – Rehearsal.

The first task was to write two paragraphs on when you have showed Courage, Kindness, Friendship, Character.

Here they are.

I showed Courage when I used my self confidence when doing something scary for the first time. I showed Kindness when I met someone on my first day of school called Tahlia. She was new like me.

I showed friendship when I met some new people on my first day of school at WPS. They all showed these values. They were all friendly and nice. I showed Character when we did our Living Springs camp show night. Me and my cabin group put on a play called The elves and the shoemaker.

The second task was to answer these questions.

• I haven’t fallen out with a friend before. What makes a good friend are all of those values I talked about before.
• Julian’s mom photo shopped the class photo with Auggie in it. She did it because he looked different from everyone else.
• Jack felt like a dork being frozen by all the boys at Beecher Prep. I felt sad when I read the story.

The Walt for this week is Compare and Contrast within texts.

The first task was to either research Star wars, or research hearing aids. Then we had to make a poster on all the facts. I chose to do hearing aids. here is my poster.

The second task was to answer the comprehension questions.

• August doesn’t like the parent/kid events at school because he doesn’t want other parents to talk to his parents.
• August was terrified of getting hearing aids. None of the stress was needed, though.
• The family was really upset about Daisy dying. Last Christmas, one of my grandparents’ dogs died. Her name was Gabby.

The last task was to make an apology note from Jack to Julian. (Much to my disgust, I didn’t want to talk to him.)

Kia Ora guys!

This week for Inquiry we have been doing a topic called Adaption.

An adaptation is when the animal finds its way to fit into its environment. E.G a polar bear has fur on its feet so it doesn’t slip over on the ice.

We had to complete a task where we had to drop and drag on an emperor penguin. Here it is.
