Holiday

In the holiday I was doing some pretty interesting stuff that I would like to tell you about I have two highlights to share with you.

The first highlight that happened to me was in the first week of the school holidays I went swimming with my family to Rolleston pool when I got there I was already dressed into my togs so I didn't need to go to the changing room so when I was finished I waited outside of the changing rooms until my mum came out and gave me the thumbs up. when my mum gave me the thumbs up to go and play in the water I was so happy that I found a cubby hole to put my bag in really quickly and when I did i rushed to the pool so I could dip my head into the water because I know that the water is always warm when you first hop in. When I first dipped my head in i was so warm so I looked over at the diving pool because that is my favourite pool and I see a really big inflatable race track so I went up the to try it out and when I went on it I had so much fun playing on it it was the best inflatable on water that I have ever played on. It was coming up to the time that we had to leave the pools but I didn't want to leave I was having so much fun but we had to leave so I grabbed my stuff and I went to the changing room to have a shower and get dressed ready to leave the pools.

The second highlight happened to me in the second week of the school holidays I went to the new cinema in town with my two sisters but before we went to watch the movie we went to pack'n'save to buy some snacks and drinks for the movie. When we got to the cinema I was like wow that's really big because it is four stories even though you cannot see it on the outside, it is massive on the inside. when I got inside me and my sisters went upstairs to buy tickets to watch Gemini man it is a movie about will smith fighting a clone of will smith. it was the best movie I had ever seen there was bearly anyone in the cinema because it was the first day it came out and it was the first session they had.

Orana Wildlife Park

Good morning readers Today I am talking about our trip to Orana wildlife park that happened on Tuesday.
On Tuesday My class Ts and Wh went to Orana Wildlife park we went in the morning at 8:45am we went in two buses to Orana park it took all classes a long time before we went on the buses and left to Orana wildlife park. When we went to Orana wildlife park we were on a bus that had a cracked window and sometimes on the bus we would see a couple pieces of the window coming off and smashing down onto the dashboard. The place on the bus that I was sitting at was at the front of the bus on the first seat and I was also sitting next to my best pal Logan young we were talking about the new update in fortnite battle royale.
When we got to Orana wildlife park we hopped out of the bus and we went to go and stand on the gravel and wait for the teachers to give the next instruction. when we went near the gate we went to the area where the lake is and we dropped our bags and then we went to go and get talked to about who we are going with. I and my class went with a guy called Richard.
We saw most of the animals but we didn't see all of them because some of them were hiding away 3 facts about the animals is.
All of the African lions in the little habitat they are all related to each other.
I didn't know that gorillas eat there own poop.
and the keas beaks are really strong.

Hurmanu - Safety Equipment

Today in science our teacher Mr Palmer showed us all some of the equipment that we are using in science this year. Mr Palmer also told us 10 safety rules that we need to follow in the science lab.

New Kahui

Good morning I will be talking about the new kahui's that we have been given.

On Monday this week, we moved into our amazing new learning spaces called Tieke, RiroRiro, and Mohua. These classes are the coolest and spaciest classes I have ever seen. The reason why we moved into these new buildings is that the primary school next to us needed more classes and that they were cleaning the classes and they were rebuilding it. It took the builders around about two years to build the new kahui's and the learning commons and learning street.

When I walked into the new building I saw delight to my face and I had seen so much room in the buildings it was also really cool because when we are working in them we there are so many places to go and work at in the classroom it is the best classroom I have ever seen I want it to stay the way it was. 

When I walked into our new buildings I thought that we were so lucky to have this new and improved building givin to us it is like they help me more to learn and it sort of gives me the power to do all the work that I can do and more. It makes me do my work to the absolute best standard I will ever do.

When I walked into our new buildings I felt The feeling that I can do everything in the world to help poor and sick people when I realized that I possibly could I started to think about what I need to save a whole lot of people. So I thought to myself that I need to do my absolute best if I want to go out and help people.

The 3 parts of the new kahui's that I liked was the LED light behind the TV's because it adds a cool affet to the TV's the teared seating in all of the classes because it means that we don't have to sit on the floor when we are have the roll being done and for form. and the new kahui because I like that we have a new working space to work in I know that it will take me a while to get used to but I still like it. 

Conclusion: I think the classrooms are really cool because I have never been to a big classroom like this before. I think that it is a very big space for classes but it is good because we can move around and work wherever we want sometimes. but we have to be quiet were we work or else we have to move into seating plans.

Art Projects

On Monday in art period four and five we were finishing off the clay projects that we were working on. We also moved onto making a background out of cardboard and paint, because we are making stop motions about manaakitanga.

We had to discuss with our groups what we wanted to do to see what we finish first because me and Cody wanted to go and finish our clay but Khush and Christian wanted to do the painting so we can get started on it. So we asked the teacher if we could do both me and Cody go make the rest of our clay and Khush and Christian go and start on the painting.

When me and Cody went in the other room we were really relying on Khush and Christian to not muck around and get the job done as clean and silent as possible. But when me and Cody got in the clay we saw that we were already done it so we told the teacher and we went to go and help Khush and Christian but they already did a lot.

I really enjoyed playing with the paint and painting my group's background we did a lot of painting it got really boring but at least I still got to have fun and hang out with my mates. I also Wish that we never do this again because it was the most boring class I have ever had in a long time.

Science Movie

Today in period three and four we have been watching a movie about climate change in 2019 and in 2040 I wasn't here for most of the video but I still watched a lot. The movie was a lot about how climate change was affecting us now and how it will affect us in the future. We were watching the movie for around about one hour and 40 minutes the movie was a little bit boring but there were some fascinating parts in the video. The dude's name in the video was Daemon and he was telling us all the thing about climate change he mainly talked about how we could get rid of all of the greenhouse gases. He went around going to schools in different countries asking what kids would like in the future. I learned that you can trap a certain amount of carbon dioxide in a lot of soil because it will keep it there. I also learned that you can eat seaweed and that you can stop carbon dioxide with the seaweed that you have seaweed can also grow up to 50 meters and every day it grows half a meter. In the future, I would like to see that all global warming is stopped as well as pollution because pollution is ruining our seas.

Tane Mahuta

Today in tane mahuta we have been doing a lot of work we have been weeding planting and moving really really big blocks. It was really hard to do everything that we were told to do I did a lot of things in two hours I was moving big heavy blocks I was weeding I was planting I was also raking and shovelling and I moved the branches to another location.

The first thing that we did after kiwi Kaha when we got to the garden is me, Cody Tyson and hunter, we went to see Mr Tisch to go and talk to him about what we were supposed to do and he told us to follow him so we did and he took us to the weeding area and then he told us to start weeding the plants.

After that, we went to go and have morning tea then when morning tea was finished we went back and we started to do the garden classroom we were moving heavy blocks it was really boring doing the work around the garden because I did nothing because I didn't want to.
