Year five maths.

Hola Bloggers,

In Te Waka Ako the Year 5's have been doing some separate maths. For our first lesson we had some special guests come in  to talk about it. They first explained  how to get into the app (Ako Maths) and how to find our lessons. Then we started. All we had to do is watch some videos and then answers some questions on a quiz that is linked to that in particular video. All together there is 13 videos and I am up to the ninth one so far. In the next few lessons we have had all we had to do was watch the videos and answer the quizzes. I find this maths really fun If you ever want to do some Ako Maths just search this akomaps.com. 

Swimming at School.

Swimming

 Kia Ora Bloggers, 

 In Waitemata we have been learning how to fall into the pool and safe yourself.  We had to fall into the water because we live in a big country surrounded by water and we have to learn be safe. If you ever fall into the water it important to learn how to save yourself. Miss Daly my teacher told us to lie on the pool side wall and she would push us in and we had to turn onto of backs. After we had fallen into the pool we had to swim through the current. One by one we swam through people whooshing the water everywhere like we were swimming through the current. Another thing that we all had to do was a challenge we had sculling to try and not touch the bottom of our pool for three whole minutes. By the way our pool is up to my waist and I am not that tall. When it was my turn I was surprised I don't think my class had very much power because it was easy to swim through the pretend current. Anyway I had an amazing swimming time doing these things.

My Picasso Self Portrait.

Talofa Lava, Bloggers

Through out the past few weeks I have been working on my Picasso self portrait with my friends during either art or finishing. Here are the steps of how I have completed my art. Step One: draw your outline of a crazy Portrait. It could be of you or just a crazy person. I chose to do a crazy person. Step two: colour in your picture with really strong colours, just one tip Picasso's Never have white spaces so I am adding more colour to my hat. Step three: trace around  your pencil lines with vivid to make your outline stand out. If coping my steps does not help here is a link of the video my class used. I hope you have fun drawing your portrait. Down below is a picture of mine.

Lockdown 4

 Kia ora Bloggers,

How did you guys feel about being back in lockdown? I felt awful I hate having to go in lockdown. It was hard for me to keep track of what I was doing because we had to babysit my little baby cousin. Every day we have to complete 3 or more pieces of work. Because it is hard for the teachers to find all of the students work. We had to put our work on a special slideshow to show our work. My favourite school activity was doing my Pepeha As a extra piece of work. It was my favourite thing to do because I got to spend heaps of time with my family during this to get photos of my family. My favourite activity to do at home was my online Acro class. Acro is cool flexibility tricks and stuff like that. Anyway I got a brand new gym mat for it which I was also really excited about. Coming back to school for me is amazing because you get to see all of your friends even though you have to social distance a little bit. Anyway here is a picture and a link to My Pepeha.

Kaiwhare LEGO workshop

Fakalofa lahi atu Bloggers, 

On the 18th of November My class Kaiwhare had a Lego workshop it was so much fun. It took place in Waikowhai Primary Schools hall. When we first sat down on the mat they introduced their self's Their names were Claire and Vanessa. And then Claire showed us a few sets of Lego that here and her family had made together. Then My teacher divided us into groups and we went to different tables and had to make sets of Lego. My favourite station was a Lego workshop you had to have a work table and little tools on it. Once we had gone around two stations we were able to pick a station, I picked the little workshop. At the end when we had finished everything we got to see who got the best builds I got two of the best builds which meant I got to pick a... Prize. I got a Lego poster and a wonder-woman sticker. My day at the Lego workshop was amazing I hope you at Waikowhai Primary had fun too. Here are some pictures of the day.

Kaiwhare skating.

Konnichiwa Bloggers

On the 13th of November Friday the middle school had Skateboarding skills. It was amazing to learn lots of new tricks. We did a crab walk and tic tacs and lots of other really cool tricks. They were sort of hard to learn even though my dad has a skateboard. First we had to pick a skateboard and a helmet. By the way, the skateboarding teachers' names were Ben and Lawrence. After that we had to do a warmup to find out what leg had to be at the front and what we have to be at the back of the skateboard. We had to fall forward and see what leg went out first and that was what had to go at the front. Next Lawrence taught us how to skate and stop so then we got to skate around for a while. Then Ben and Lawrance taught us some more tricks. After that we played a game called What’s up wolf pack. It was sort of like what’s the time Mr Wolf, except we had to go back 4 skates if we moved. After that it was time to go back to class but… we had another lesson later on the same day hooray. Here are some pictures of the day.
