Technology|Wood Work With Mr. Grundy

For another awesome day of tech we did wood work with Mr. Grundy. We started on cutting our wood and the joints with the backed saw and the wood chisel to finish off our designs. I had already cut my wood and one of my joints for my chest of draws. Since my wood wasn't straight, I used help from Mr. Grundy. He used a machine to make my wood straight. If our joints didn't fit in, than we could use the sand paper to make it fit. I was really happy that my joint and other piece of wood fit together. I enjoyed my day of wood work with Mr. Grundy.

Blog Post Data Analysis

For Maths, we analysed our blogs to see the amount of how many blog posts we had in each month and year since we started starting. We made a graph to add the the statistical information. We also added the average number of blogposts, created a goal of how many blog posts we want to achieve and why we had less or more blogposts in each year of month. My goal is to complete 900 blog posts by the end of the year. My total now is 792 blog posts. I have to do an average of 10.75 blog posts each month to achieve my target. Something I found interesting was that in 2018 I did more blog posts than all the other years, because I was really confident and I did the Summer Learning Journey activities.

Tech|Reflection

This week for another awesome day of Tech, we did woodwork with Mr Grundy. We started cutting our piece of wood to make our design. The design that I chose was a chest of draws. We used a backed saw to cut the wood and a backed hook to put the wood on. We tried to make sure the wood was cricked. If it was then we could take it to Mr. Grundy, so he could fix it with a machine. Some of us also started cutting the joints used to make the design. I had a great time starting on cutting my piece of wood.

Ki O Rahi|Reflection

This week for another fun day of Ki O Rahi, our coach was Shaneese. For this session of Kiwi Sport, we played the real game of Ki O Rahi. We were split into two teams. One team was the Taniwha team and the other was Kio Ma. Kio Ma started with the ball, by kicking it to the guardians in their team. The guradians tried to catch the ball to pass it to their teamates. To earn points Kio Ma ran and touched as many poes, then tryed with the key. We were all wearing tags. Taniwha tried to hit the tupu/rock with the key. They also tried to rip the other teams tag from earning points and get the key. Together as a team we worked collaboratively and hard.

Stretching Sentences

This week for our writing session, we learnt about stretching sentences. Stretching sentences includes the 5 w's and 1 h. After learning about stretching sentences, we wrote sentences, than stretched them out. Once we did that, we created a DLO about stretching sentences. We included our example of stretching sentences, the purpose and how to strecth sentences.

Dare Impact Message

This week we were lucky to have Constable Cyrus to teach us about the dare program, like drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. We learnt about the 4 l's which are lungs, love, liver and livelihood. We also learnt about the affects of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. After learning about the affects and the 4 l's, we created a DLO to show a message to others, about drugs, alcohol or cigarettes.

Kiwi Can

This week for another fun day of kiwi can, our kiwi can leaders were, Ms. Paige and Ms. Mac who was new. Our topic for this week was positive relationships and our theme was co-operation. We first talked about positive relationships, positive communication and co-operation. Positive relationships is when you have good relationships with others, positive communication is when you talk to others in a positive way and lastly co-operation, is when you work together and negotiate to an agreement. Our energizer was called A's and B's. For A's and B's, we chose two people who were your A and B in our minds. We tried to get as close to A and as far as your B. Our activity was Magic Boots. For Magic Boots we got into groups. One person had magic boots who could cross over the toxic lava to go to the safe zone. The magic boots person tried to carry their teammates to the other side while their feet not touching the other side. The person to the safe side also has magic boots.
