 This week for Chapter Chat I did Bessie in her pink frilly night gown from the book code name bananas! 

Case Closed

 Today Mrs Taaffe confessed she said, that she stole the dongle and chocolates. She said that she came into work on Saturday the 10th of October,  to drop some things off and was missing her HDMI cable so, she thought she would take the Whetu dongle and then she saw the chocolates and thought that it was the holiday so no one would notice so she took some and ran out the door but she dropped some so she ran  then stopped by the bush to see if the door closed behind her and it did and when she was trying to open the door it wouldn't open so she cut her hand on the edge of the door. Mrs Taaffe was also here on the day!

Letter Of The Week

This is my letter of the week. The letter was C and I had to complete ten questions for letter of the week.

Athletics Day

Yesterday was athletics. My favourite event was long jump because after the first go when I didn't even take off from the mat it was pretty easy after that because I knew how not to do it. The most challenging event was high jump because I didn't even make it over the pole once. Before events I felt pretty nervous and almost forgot how to do everything. The most easy event was shot put because shot put is the easiest event to remember apart from running.

Lifting fingerprints

 Today I lifted a finger print from the widow first I had to rub my thumb in my hair to make it greasy then I pressed my thumb lightly on the window and then Mrs Kennedy put tape on the window on top of my finger print and then i pressed the tape only where my finger print was then I took the tape off and placed it onto black paper. you cant really see my finger print though.

Forensics & Fingerprints

Today we did fingerprints with ink so we had to find a buddy and write our names on the paper that we would put our finger prints on so we had to put our fingers in ink we started with our thumb then ended with our little finger we had to put the ink on our finger print or thumb print. It was really fun and I really enjoyed it.

Workshop Reflection

 Whetū Workshops Reflection

During Term 2 and 3 the Whetū students have had the opportunity to be involved in a range of different workshops.

The workshop that I have enjoyed participating in the most has been dance because I always want to do dance so my cousin teaches me sometime when she comes.

The new learning that I have learnt is when you mix vinegar and baking soda and put a balloon on top of the bottle itblows up the balloon.

What I have most enjoyed about the workshops are getting to do them three days a week so I can do more.

 I am interested in learning more about dance because I really enjoyed doing dance.

Art Term 3

 This is my art that i finished today it was really fun to do.  The part I enjoyed the most was colouring all the stuff. The most challenging part was thinking what to do. I think that in the end it looks very good.

Inquiry (poster)

 

This is my inquiry to answer the question should animals be kept in zoos? I did a poster and I think that animals should not be kept in zoos.

Cooking Comment!!!!!

 This week I chose to join the cooking workshop option.

On the first day we went through the safety sheets and planned what we were making and what to bring.

The second day we chopped up our ingredients that we brought.  

The third day we ate the soup and it tasted good.

The part I liked the most was chopping up my onion that I brought even though it stung my eyes so badly.

Cross Country Term 3 Week 4 2020

 Cross Country Term 3 Week 4 2020

On Thursday we did Cross country.

The most challenging part as having to do 3 laps because it felt like it took so long to do the 3 laps.

The part I enjoyed the most was after my race I went and brought 2 juices and I gave one to my brother and he was so happy.

We did cross country in the Ngatea domain because we couldn't go to the farm that we usually go to for cross country.

Chapter Chat

 This week we started chapter chat for the book Wink. The main character in wink has a eye cancer the main characters name is Ross. I drew a panic meter because in the book he said in his head that it would be greatn if the docter had a panic meter and pointed to how freaked out he should be.

Whetu Challenge

For Whetu Challenge we had to make a cartoon for the cartoon we did Sponge Bob from Sponge Bob I did Plankton.

I worked with Marley,Kingston,Johan,Desmond and Darius to make our scene.

I enjoyed making the eye because it was super easy to make.

I was in my learning constellation group Rafiki to make this.

e

Term 2 Reflection

The new learning activity that I have enjoyed the most this term is Maths Mystery because I liked solving the clues and it was fun trying to get the right answer and find out who the thief was.

Something that has challenged me this term has been the word of the week because it was really hard to figure out what the words meant.

The Whetu Challenge I enjoyed the most was the Egg Cartons because it was fun to cut out the pieces for my egg carton creation and I liked painting the egg cartons.

The opt-in workshop I enjoyed the most was Dance because when my cousin started doing dance I wanted to do it because I could watch videos of her dancing and I really like dancing.

An aim I have for my learning is the blog challenge because it takes me too much time to finish.

EGG CARTON CREATION

EGG CARTON CREATION

This week for our Whetu Challenge we created something using egg cartons.

I used Paint, egg cartons, and scissors to make my creation.

My creation did not turn out as I planned because I didn't have enough time.

The challenging part was painting the sea and the sand.

I liked cutting out all the bits for the coral.

Word Of The Week

This week for word of the week the word was cacophony and it was really fun to do. I liked using it in a sentence.

Maths Challenge Week 11

Blog Challenge Week 11

This week for blog challenge I made my bedroom. The part that took the longest was doing the lights that I have because I had to put the blue things on for the lights. I liked doing the poster.

Paper Plane Reflection

Whetu Challenge - Paper Planes

Today our challenge was to design an accurate paper plane. We were given a draft piece of paper to trial and a good piece to use once we had tested the accuracy of it.

Before we started I thought this challenge was going to be hard because I’m not that great at making paper planes/

I decided to use my own deisign because I didn’t like any of the other ideas.

The hardest part was getting it right because it took so long to get the plane right.

During our competition time I managed to score 1 or 2.

Word Of The Week

This week I did the word of the week on whoogle and I haven't done it before but I really liked doing it it was fun, quick, and easy to do. My favourite part was when I had to make it into a sentence. The hard part was to write 3 synonyms but the rest was easy to do.

Blog Challenge Week 10

This is my blog challenge for week 10. I really like how the birthday card turned out. It looks pretty cool to me. I did it on paper because I like drawing on paper especially birthday cards. I took a picture of the front, the inside and the back. I like the look of the whole thing.

Sick Sentences Week 10

This is my sick sentences for week 10. we had to right nouns and adjectives about a snail in a strawberry and then we had to do the 'sick sentences'. It was just the same as last week except with a different picture but I liked doing this one a lot. My favourite thing was fixing the sentences.

Maths Mystery Week 10

For maths mystery this week I worked with Jolie. I had fun trying to guess who the thief was. It took a little while to finish because I had two meetings. But after I had my meetings it was really quick and easy to do. We got stuck on clue 5 because for the gel pens I put 7 instead of six so it was really hard to do because then it came up with "The thief dropped apple cherry stones" instead of "The thief dropped cherry stones!" But we figured it out!

Maths Mystery Week 9

This week for maths mystery I worked with Jolie, and OJ. It was really easy to do and we finished it really quick. But we didn't know some parts but we figured it out. It was really fun to do it with my friends and we worked most of it out really quickly and fast. I liked doing Clue 5 because we could make a path to find what the culprits favourite topping is and I liked making the lines for the path. The most challenging clue to do for me was clue three because I didn't know what to do at first but then I figured it out after a while.  

Blog Challenge

This is my blog challenge I made an avatar for my future me. I really like to cook so I help Mum or Dad make dinner as much as I can. I like to travel a lot even though I get car sick but Mum said I won't get car sick that much when I'm older. I also like travelling with my cousin or going to see my cousin so I plan on travelling a lot of places with my cousin.

Week 9 Sick Sentence's

This is my Sick sentences and instead of a fish it was a Owl. It was really fun to do and the thing was the same except with a Owl. Its about nouns and adjective again vbh. My favourite part this time was the adjectives because it was really easy to do for me.

Tennis Ball Tower.

Tennis Ball Tower Challenge

Today for our Whetu Challenge we worked in a group to build a tower out of newspaper, 2 straws and sellotape. We needed to make our tower strong enough to hold a tennis ball and be able to stand alone (not leaning on anything or needing support).

Today I worked with OJ and Owen.

At first we had trouble with making it stable.

The easiest thing was rolling up the newspaper to make the tower tall.

The best part of our tower was it was pretty tall.

Our tower looked not that great because it had a lot of tape and a lot of the tape was bunched up.

We didn’t think it would be more than 50cm tall but it was!

In the end our tower was 80cm tall!

Blog Challenge

This is my other blog challenge of my dog.

Sick Sentences

This is my sick sentences and we have to put naming words for the picture on the slide. There is
also describing words that we have to write for the same picture and then 'sick' sentences. It took a while to finish it. My favourite part was the 'sick' sentences where you had to look at the sentence and change it so its a better sentence then it was before. The slide that took me the most time to do was the nouns and the slide that took the least time to do was the 'sick' sentences but the last sentence took a while to do.

Maths Challenge

This is my Maths Challenge for this week I worked with Jolie to do this.

Blog Challenge

This is my blog challenge for my cat Pepper I wanted to do Bob but he died so I did Pepper!

My Catapult Win

Whetu Catapult Challenge

The most challenging part was watching Owen doing the slingshotting for the final.

Our best results were that we won the longest distance!

To make my catapult I worked with my two best friends Owen and OJ!

Overall I think that we did a great job making the catapults.

     This week for Chapter Challenge I did digital design With Jolie and we did the expedition team logos. For the Cody's Cowboys I did a horse by tracing a picture of a cartoon horse we made the lasso in scribble. For The Association of Women Explores We made The hat and the book. For The Santander family we put a X over the money because they are poor, and question marks by a person, the person is supposed to be their mum because they lost her in the train station. We found out the Ruffians mean A violent person so we put a person with a bandit on and a gun. We used Google drawing to create this. The hardest bit was tracing the horse Because it kept stopping when we were creating it on poly-line.

Whanau Star Post

Over the last week I have been working on my visual pepeha.




I am proud of all the effort I put into my Whanau Star.




What I found challenging was cutting out all of my pictures, because all of my photos had to fit on the other side of my star.




I worked by myself to create my Whanau star. Because I was away on the day we all created our Whanau Stars.
