The gala day was my favourite because there was lots of stuff to buy and lots of fun activities to do but obviously it all costed money witch made me a bit sad but it was okay because it was all worth paying for. here are some photos from the gala day.

 I hope you enjoyed the photos because it took a while to find them.It was also my favourite because it was all for the juniors new play ground.Don't forget to comment on my work and PLZ give me good feedback. BLOG YOU LATER.

THINKING HATS GALA DAY

WHAT'S up bloggers and welcome back to my blog

Today I'm going to blog about my Thinking hats  about the gala day we recently had.

for the past week Te waka Ako has been making thinking hats about a celebration day that we had on the 25th of November we had to sell stuff that we made for the gala so we could save up for the juniors new playground in total we got $13,400 dollars from the gala but that's not enough here is a slide show of my thinking hats.

I hope you enjoyed my slide show.this was quite hard because we had to try and think about some thing bad and some thing good and all the other hats but it was fun when we got to look at all the photos(there were 540 photos).

GALA day

GALA Celebration day!!

What's up bloggers and welcome back to my Blog.

On the 25th of November Waikowhai Primary School is having a celebration day from 10am-3pm. We are having it because plastic bags and other bad stuff are being made so the whole school has decided to have a gala day and make sustainable products to save our world. 

It's not only making sustainable products but we are also learning cultural dances. Everyone will be in one cultural group. We are also playing games so you can come too. Two things that I'm learning from this is how to sew and how to do some European dances. I know lots of people are learning stuff too like other cultural dances and how to make other sustainable products. 

The steps to make a Tote bag can be quite hard if you don't know how to sew.

1. get two pieces of cloth/fabric.

2.use pins to pin the fabric together on the sides and the bottom but not the top otherwise you can't put anything in.

3.sew the bag together on the sides with the pins and when you get to close to a pin take the pin out and keep going until you've done all the edges except for the top.

4.turn the bag inside out and then iron it.

5.get some cloth/fabric and measure it to be 70cm long. These are your straps.

5.sew the straps on in a shape that looks like this

then you are finished.

I think this is going to be a good event because we are helping the environment and we are also learning new stuff.

These are three of the bags our class has made.

The reason how this is connected to sustainability is that there is plastic bags that are made for a single use but these tote bags that we are making are made for multiple use and it's not bad for the environment.

my Reading

My book review

 FROG WHISTLE MINE

what's up welcome back to my blog. Today I am blogging about a book that I read called Frog Whistle Mine. I made a slide show reviewing the story and telling the main points.I also made a character on create your wild self to make a main character and a minor character if you would like to use create your wild self then here is a link CLICK HERE. Here is my slideshow enjoy!

This activity was pretty easy because making the character's was easy and using tinkercad was also easy but it was hard when you had to write the main points because some times I forgot and then I had to read that bit of the book again.from this experience I learnt two new words(slide 11)and that there was a place called doctor bay The last thing I learnt was about weka and how there was only a few left and one of the family's  were called the butcher family.When we were making our characters we had to use the words and visualise what they might look like in the story. SEE YOU later bloggers.

Travelling around NZ on a set budget

What's up blogging friends and welcome back to my learning blog.

For the first 2 weeks of term 3 we have been working on a maths project where we had to travel around NZ from the bottom of the South Island all the way to the top of the North Island. Our set budget was $5,500 for the 11 days we were travelling. I was one of the few people who made it under budget! I made it under budget by $530.40 and my actual cost when I finished was $4969.60. Here is my slide show. HOPE YOU ENJOY!

If I did this again I would probably not choose the most expensive hotels and choose cheaper cars.

I found this activity hard because it included a lot of maths and hard decisions of what activity's to do and which hotels to use.

cross country

Whats up blogging friends and welcome back to my learning blog.
On Tuesday Waikowhai Primary School had cross country.

We had lots of activity's to do while we were waiting for our race like giant games (giant connect 4 giant pick up sticks normal mini golf normal bowling) . The next activity we did was rako sticks we made music then we sang a song while using the rako sticks . The next activity was a game where you got into 4 teams and the first person put on a blind fold and the person behind them had to guide them to pick up some thing and bring it back, but you weren't allowed to touch them.
The last activity we did before the race was warming up and doing running activity's like sprint races and doing stuff with balls. Here are some photos of the activities

Now it's time for the race!

Yay it's time for the race . The race was 2 kilometre's long and most of it was on the muddy grass and I came 5th in the race  here are some photos.

This time cross country was quite hard because it was really muddy but luckily I didn't slip. Blog you later.

Magical World Of Science By Richard and Robin.

Hello Blogging world and welcome back to my blog.
Today at school we had a science show made by some scientists called Richard and Robin.
They showed us what you need to make fire... you need heat, oxygen and fuel. For fuel you could use different types of fuel like wood, paper and plastic.

Another thing they showed us was about bubbles. We learnt that bubbles are the thinnest thing you can see with just your eye. Richard blew a really big bubble about the size of 3 soccer balls. He also told us that bubbles have two layers and why. He said bubbles have 2 layers because the outside layer makes a reflection that's why balloons are multi coloured and the other layer inside the outside layer traps the water inside. Here are some videos.

We also learnt about physics. Richard had a hair dryer and a ping pong ball. Richard turned on the hair dryer then pointed it to the roof then put the ping pong ball by the hair dryer then he asked us to put our hands up if you thought the ball would fly up or if it would just hover. Then he let go of the ball and it started to hover because the air pushed it up and the gravity pulled it down.n Then he used a leaf blower and used a sphere with the world on it and it still hovered but it hit the roof . . . but it didn't matter because the ball was just made of air.

We also learnt about H2O which is water. We learnt that water is the only substance on earth that exists in Gas, Liquid and Solid. If you liked this blog post and you would like to get updated when I post follow me.Please feel free to comment.
