My Learning Reflections

My slide deck is showing what I have learnt in Te Manga 2019 and what I have done. Enjoy !!!!

Te Whare Tui Camp 2019

WALT google slides to create an interesting presentation about our camp experience. 


My camp highlights were going to the beach because we made a 3 foot deep hole. At the beach, we made a huge bridge so we could cross to the other side and at the beach we finished a huge sand castle with a cute heart on top. My favourite part at the beach we were in the sand castle competition we came second place with Zana Awhitia and Mikayla. It was an Egypt city theme with Cleopatras grave and a  big graveyard. My second highlight was slippy hockey because there was dishwashing soap all over the ground and I was in the yellow team and we won. At the end of slippy hockey we played a game when you have to run on the grass and then dropped on the big soapy mat,it was a mess but I was really proud of it.

DRAFT - Duffy Theatre, Magic bricks

Introducing The Duffy Theatre.

On the holidays Duffy was exited to go to his favourite cousins house. When he arrived at Sams house Sam house was STILL playing on the game. Duffy asked Sam if he could have a turn but Sam was a RAGING RHINO and YELLED NO. She slapped his hand and said NO she was addicted to gaming. Duffy got board  and put on his magic grandmas glasses on and did the dumpling dance. Duffy finished dancing and got sucked in the game.

Duffy finished dancing and got sucked in the game.Duffy yelled out to Sam but she confused because she didn't know were he was. Sam YELLED out his name and he said he was in the game Sam was confused. Duffy had to choose a skin we all loved the mussel suit so he put it on he looked crack-up. Duffy said there were to game monsters you need to avoid its the puzzler and the Dismantler. The Puzzler puzzles things around for you cant finish the game the Dismantler just smashes everything like blocks. 

Sam got so angry that she put on Nana Whetu  glasses and started mimicking Duffy. Sam grabbed Nana Whetus secret book and then did the dumpling and got devoured into the game and joined Duffy he was happy to have someone else to talk to in the game. Sam was shocked she said that Nana all ways use to make the best dumplings in the world but that wasn't it. The book said that you have to shake shake it up. Duffy was running out of health so Sam had to give him some of her hot dogs, hot dogs are health. Aunty  Grace had to join the so she could " save them " but it didn't work something was wrong with Nana Whetus glasses so it wasn't them. Duffy had to think of another code it has to be the creators name. Sam yelled that there was a blue side on the blocks so they flipped the blocks around and it said Whetu on it. Sam thought her favourite dance could be it that could be the code. The Dismantler said that they missed Nana Whetu and then said that she the best creator in the pixel world.

Rugby World Cup 2019

In Te Manga we have been learning about the Rugby World Cup 2019. 

My country is New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup 2019. Did you know that Wellington is the capital of New Zealand? One of the animals that live in New Zealand is the Maui dolphin. New Zealand have won 3 Rugby World Cups. The first Rugby World Cup was co- hosted by New Zealand and  Australia. 

On the last week of term we did a rugby world cup dress up. Pretty much everyone was an All Black because we all hope they win the R.W.C. I was New Zealand, Whaea Deb gave me the NZ flag. I was so thankful. When we took a class R.W.C photo I was holding the flag and not smiling cause the sun was in my face. These are all the photos of me and my class ... enjoy.

First Draft - The Great Reading Adventure

I have written about my class assembly. I'm the editing stage so you might find some mistakes. I am still working on it and will post my published writing.

Last Friday Te Whare Tui were doing an assembly and I was involved in it. The assembly was about the great reading adventure and doing varieties of books the two main characters were Arahia was Duffy and kaydee was scruffy. 

At the start of the play Arahia loves books so she says “ I love reading it’s just one of my all time favourite things to do”. My group was the hogwarts harry potter thing I was so nervous that what if I say the wrong thing because I didn’t have my paper.

 So many people were looking at the play I was relieved because we looked ridiculous because some of us had lightning on our head it was so funny. We had the most WAKY capes in the world worse than hogwarts Mikayla one was a little to how do I say this oh red that’s it. 

The Hare and The Tortoise / New Zealand Play House

Today  we went to the old Te Karau to watch New Zealand Playhouse Performed a wonderful play called The Hare and the Tortoise. The Characters in the story were Hare, Humpty Dumpty, Tortoise, Piped piper, ginger bread man. It was so MIND BLOWING lively and entertaining I was very moved so was the whole school. My favourite part was when the Hare called the ginger bread man biscuit boy.  Hope you enjoy my DLO.

 These were the characters in the story  

   The Hare was my least favourite person in the story

Term 3 Recount Practice - Family Time at the Beach

Term 3 Recount Practice - Beach

26.08.19

In summer in 2019 me Chilli and Dad went too Ninety Mile beach. When we arrived I finished drinking Dads Pepsi and ran into the water in a single blink and I was in. The water was SO crystal clear that I could see about 5 fishy's when dad came in he said “ Should we go to the big waves” I was excited but scared so I said “ Should we cause I don’t want to go there” because I thought that I would dive down and not come back up. Chilli pulled my arm and dragged me there I was screaming for help but dad told her to do that or she wouldn’t be allowed back inside for the rest of the day but night time yes she would be allowed in cause what kind of parent would do that…. Oh yeah, back to the story my arm was really red and SORE like 2 minutes later I got over it I was on dads back duck diving with him the beautiful waves helped me see the bottom which got me really scared that why I stayed on my Dads back the whole time. When we finished swimming OUR motorbike was about to touch the water and I was furious, so we ran to the Motor bike and Zoomed home.

Label the Water Cycle

WALT Label the different parts of the Water cycle 

Making Puddles - Our Water Experiment

WALT explain what happens when water evaporates. 

What was our hypothesis?

We think that the Puddles in the sun will evaporate faster then the one in the shade.

Describe what we did? 

1. Alani Tipped 2L on the concrete to make a puddle in the sun
2. Me Liv and Reina drew around the puddle with chalk and Anahera took a photo
3. we waited for 15 minutes to check the puddles to see how much the water evaporated      

What happened?
 Both Puddles where evaporating but the one in the sun evaporated faster but the one in the shade was slower 

Think about which puddles disappeared faster? one on the outside because the sun controls the water cycle.

What caused the water to disappear? the sun made the one in the outside disappear faster than the the one in the shade.

The Characters are  king Mufusa queen Sarabi prince Simba Nala  uncle Scar Shenzi Ed Banzai Zazu Timon Rafiki. my least favourite Character is Scar because he kills Mufusa and blames it on Simba and tells Simba to run away so he does. my lest favourite part was when Scar tries to kill Simba and lies to the other lions. my favourite favourite part is when they sing the Hakuna Matata
