My holiday started really boring and was basically just like my normal routine during the day. I would wake up look at my Chromebook, eat and sleep. Toward the end of my holidays I went on a road trip with my family. We traveled to Taupo on a rainy Wednesday afternoon. When we arrived at our destination we had KFC for dinner and went to sleep after watching television. The following morning we went to a delicious pie shop then made our way to our next stop. We went on a boat around lake Taupo for an hour and went on a geothermal walk. Soon after that we drove to Rotorua and went to the place where there are skylines. At that place we rode luges also known as go-karts. After three days of vacation we made our way home and took a long nap.
I am a student at New Windsor School. This is where I share my learning around Learn, Create, Share and the New Windsor Way.

Recap on term 2
The term two has gone really fast so I'm going to reflect on what happened this term. When the term started we had our wonderful student teacher Mrs Matenga, she helped us with science experiments including the bee and water experiment. On the last week of her practicum she held a celebration, though I was not there to celebrate with the class. In term two we also had a fale launch where the student leaders taught their house group chants and they walked around the school shouting out their chants. Following the fale launch we also had a shade sail opening where our turf and shade was blessed. Much earlier than the fale opening was when we created our own murals. We paper mached our New Zealand native birds and now it's on display in our school corridor. For Anzac day we made silhouettes of the men who served in the army with cinquain poems at the back with poppies.

soup
A few weeks ago Jeanne and Khaleed helped to make soup with Room 11. My class gathered together along with two other classes. The soup was made from tomatoes, chickpeas, celery ,coriander and lentils .It was a soup that was enjoyed by muslims during ramadan. As soon as it was finished cooking all the students immediately rushed on the mat and sat patiently trying to be the first to get soup. The teachers got soup as well it was so good that students kept coming back for seconds even thirds
Being safe on the internet
The class has been learning how to be safe on the internet, and being safe with what we share, with Phil we all made pick a paths or posters. |
The story of Matariki
Today my friend Diana and I made a slide animation on Matariki . If you didn't know what Matariki is than I can tell you Matariki is when there is a cluster of seven stars in the earths atmosphere . It also means the starting of the Maori new year and Diana and I are going to share a myth about Matariki on our animation.
