My holiday recount

 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.

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.

Tuakana teina day

 On Tuesday the  majority of teachers went on courses so we had a mixture of  junior kids in our classes. We started the day with just-dance , then other classes joined our just dance mix up. After just dance we had  our  morning tea and soon after we went to the library. The junior classes also came with us so we ended the library trip with buddy reading. When  the whole class came back into the room we started planning how to make Matariki stars, my little buddy was a girl called Giselle which I shared with a classmate called Olivia. Finally we ended the day with beautiful stars which were put up in each of our classes. 

Water experiment

 On Wednesday morning we did a science experiment . We were observing on how much acid or alkaline is in different types of water . My specific group got chosen to do  the sickbay tap water , after all the  groups got their types of water we each got handed a water tester. We dipped the stick of paper in the jar of water  , our result came out as six point five  which is acidic. Another groups result came out as seven, which is neutral, but the worst water out of all of the tests was the art sink tap water , it came out as six which was the most acidic out of all the water we tested .
