CAMP!

Hello there bloggers, last week while I was away from school, Me and almost all the students 

from Te Waka Ako drove a trip to Mount Ruapehu.
We made a stop at Hamilton Gardens and we did a competition where
you had to find a place where it says on the paper. My colour group ( Pink ) won the competition and the prize is a chocolate bar where I ate later at Otorohanga. We did another challenge that we will be given another sheet of paper and it will tell questions and we had to solve them. So we walked at the Sir Edmund Hillary walkway.
There were lots of boards and it shows us the famous things of NZ (e.g weet-bix, All blacks) . On the mountain, in the first day, There was a very long queue, so I had to wait a long time to get my boots, skis and poles, when I got all three gears, there was a lesson about how to stop on your skis. It wasn't my best day because I fell down alot and I felt like I wanted
to quit. But when I went to Happy Valley, I was having fun by doing things freely and I got to the cafe whenever I wanted to. When we finished camp, we did a digital camp booklet that we had to complete,
it was about how are you feeling after the trip, drawing of my adventure etc  

This was my digital booklet.
 Overall camp was amazing, I had fun at the mountain and I would like to go there
again.  

Tae kwon do

Hello bloggers, this week at Thursday 17th August, Waitemata did a program on tae kwon do.

 The tae kwon do program started on week 1 but that time, it was on Wednesday. On week 2, we did a competition known as the power punch competition. It was about how you had to punch an empty bag and we did two competitions. It was about who punches and lands the furtherest and who slides the furtherest. 

The next week, we did a warm up about relays, we had to stay into 5 groups, then we had to do push ups 5 times and we had to tag the next person. After that, we did the scissor kick competition. The tae kwon do teacher held an empty bag above our height and we had to scissor kick it. You kick it too low, you are out.

I think it was fun because I had never done that before. Here are some photos about the relay practice.

  

Commenting a good comment

Hello bloggers, this week for cyber smart, Gerard set us a task to make a good comment. We practised in a commenting template, we wrote about positive, thoughtful and helpful thoughts. We also did a question one where we have to write a question. I looked at room 9 May road school and I screenshot-ed their blog post about the cook islands national anthem. This was my work. I found this easy because I knew what class to pick. 

Maths creation

Hello there bloggers, this week for maths we created a mini tent. We created by using tooth picks and modelling clay. We created this because I think we wanted to be creative. The problems I encountered were that I couldn't get a clear idea at the beginning but i began to understand while I was doing it. But after a few minutes, it began to fall because it was either  it stayed there to long or not enough strength. I also had fun because I think I made a creative tent. I found out that you can stick toothpicks into modelling clay. The shapes I made were triangles, cross and a cone. This was my creation. 

Puncuation work

Hi there bloggers,

This term, the teachers of Te Waka Ako have set new tasks 

for us this term. It is something called the literacy tumble, the

literacy tumble is a set of tasks that we have to do every day (Except

Friday) between 9.05 - 9.30 or 9.30 - 9.55.  I've only done one of them, so this

is my work. My work is about putting the commas in the right place. I found this work easy and
I am still working on them.

Hi there bloggers, a few weeks ago, Mr Ross told Waitemata we could do a passion project if we wanted to...we all wanted to. A passion project is that you put all your hobbies or things you like to a google slide. This was my passion project.  

Painting the town personal response

Hi there, this week for reading, we read a book journal called 

painting the town and we red the book before up the pipe

and the worlds water is running out. The town was based on

Christchurch, the city that always have earthquakes. So the book was

about almost half of Christchurch's were toppled and everyone is sad. So artists decided to 

paint the town to lift the people's spirit up. So top secret (reading group) did an

personal response about what we liked, questions etc.

This is my response.
