Girltopia

W.A.L.T Recreate a scene from a story.

For Reading I read a book called Girltopia. It is about a place where all the boys got some weird virus and they all stayed home so it is like a entire town with only girls. I think that the story is pretty fun to read.

I also made a DLO about a scene from the story. Would you want to read Girltopia or have you already read it?

Maths!

W.A.L.T Show our thinking when we solve problems.

For Maths I made a DLO about 5 math equations. I showed how I solved them a wrote them down on a google drawing. This is my Google Drawing! Would you choose my 5 equations or other equations?

Pigeons

For Reading, I am learning about Pigeons! I made two Pigeon Montages, I done a thing about Cher Ami, and I made made a Google Slide about whether I think a Pigeon is special or a pest. Would you want to learn about Pigeons?

My Recount

Room one went to Hanmer Springs Forest Camp for Camp it was really fun. We made a recount about it and we made a google drawing of something we done at camp. Is my recount interesting?

Hanmer Springs Camp

Last week, Room 1 went to Hanmer Springs Forest Camp. We went to many different places.
It was very fun.

First we arrived at school. We had to put our bags outside the office so they could get put into the
trailer, and we put our day packs on our desks. Then we went into our cars. I was in George’s car,
the people in the car were Raima, Kaysha, Kade, Kata, and Gabby. Then we went for our boring
long drive to Hanmer Springs. 

When we got to Hanmer Springs Forest camp, we had our morning tea. Then we went to Conical
Hill. We  had to climb up it, it felt like it went on forever because it just went up and up and up.
Eventually we made it to the top. Everyone's faces were as bright as an apple. But then we had
to go back down, it was a lot easier than going up though. Sadly since we didn't do the Dog
Stream walk we had to walk back to the camp. It was so tiring, and we just walked up a big hill
so walking back after climbing the big hill was really tiring.

Once we got back to the Hanmer Springs Forest camp, we went into the kitchen and Miss
Holland gave us all an ice-block. Since it was as hot as the sun, so it was very nice to have it.
After that we got our keys to our cabins so we could put our togs on. Once we put our togs on we
went to the pools. The first thing I did was go to a pool with Gabby. After a bit of swimming we
went on the hydroslides! It was very fun. I went on the hydroslides with Liv and Gabby. The
hydroslides looked as tall as a three story building! Then we went in the pools again and just
played. Some people went on each other's shoulders, and some other people were jumping
into the pool. When we had to go we got dressed and went back to the camp.

The next day we did orienteering! We got put into some groups, and looked for number markers.
My group and another group came together into one big group and looked for the number
markers together. We all had a map each, and the map had numbers on it. Where the numbers
are is where the number markers were. We had to write down the numbers, there were also
some letters too. Then once we wrote down the number and the letters. We went to find some
more. My group and the other one came second in the orienteering. I forgot how many points
we got though.

After that we got put into two groups. One of the groups was gonna go tree climbing and the
other was gonna go mountain biking. I wanted to do tree climbing first, but sadly I was mountain
biking. I didn't want to do mountain biking because I don't really like doing it. 

First we got our bikes and helmets. Then we went around the camp with our bikes and tested all
the gears. After that we got split into another two groups. I don't know what the other group was
doing. My group went to the easy rider track. There were lots of turns and roots on the track,  It
was as hard as running in cross country! Then we did snakes and ladders, snakes and ladders
are just lots of hills and turns everywhere. I thought it was fun doing that, but only when I went
down, I didn't like going up because it was tiring. Then we went back to the camp.

The next day my group did tree climbing and the other group did mountain biking. At tree
climbing there were lots of bees! Some people got stung but luckily I didn't. The tree climbing
instructors gave us harnesses and helmets that we had to put on. It was really confusing when
I was trying to put my harness on. Then I put it on too tight but I Then the instructor told us what
we had to do while we climbed the tree. The instructor said we have to not worry about the bees,
so we started to climb the tree. There were three trees I tried on two but I only made it to the top
on one of them, I felt like a monkey climbing the tree. I thought it was a lot more fun than
mountain biking.

Then we went back to school. So that means another long boring drive back. My favorite thing I
did there was tree climbing, sleeping although the mattress was as hard as a rock. I still liked
sleeping, and eating some of the food, we had to have vegetables with our dinner! They were
green like leaves on a tree. I didn't like mountain biking though, I don't want to do it again.
I thought camp was very fun! I would like to go there again someday.

Trip

Today Room One, Two, and Three went on a trip.

We went to the park first. I played with Charlee, Raima, and Amelie. Raima and Charlee went on the swing. Amelie and I were pushing them and Charlee flew off the swing. It was really funny.

Then we went to the Museum. A lady explained some things to us like, how Men and Women couldn't go to the beach together, and how a Man was selling ostrich eggs and their feathers and the ostriches ran out on New Brighton Road, and how New Brighton beach caught on fire, and the kids took a day off school and put the fire out. We also explored the museum, that was fun.

Then we went to the library. At the library Charlee, Raima, Amelie and I colored in some coloring things. I colored in a turtle.

Then we had to go back to school. It was a very fun trip.

Would you want to go on a trip like that?

Visual Mihi

W.A.L.T Identify who we are using are using a visual Mihi.

Today I finished doing my Visual Mihi. Room one had to draw our Mountain, our river, what we like, our flag, and Korus that represent all of our family members. We also made an avatar, some people drew them but I made mine. Then we done the outline with crayon or vivid I used crayon. Then we could color with crayons or the dye. I used the crayons. Once I finished coloring we dyed the background. Then we glued our avatars on them.

I chose the symbols because they are the things I like. I drew a drawing on paper, a tree, a flower, a cat, and food. I would of drawn more but I couldn't think of anything else. I also drew a kiwi and a rugby ball because they are New Zealand things.

Next time I do a Visual Mihi, I am going to not make my drawings as detailed because when I out lined them with crayon it was kinda hard. I liked drawing the pictures because I like drawing.

Would you want to make a Visual Mihi?

Stem

W.A.L.T. Problem solve as a team.

Today my class went to Room 4 to do S.T.E.M. For stem we had to make a chair out of paper and tape. We were in groups, in my group I had Jennifer, Sam, and Bryce.

The chair had to be 10cm tall and it had to hold up a soft toy. Our chair wasn't 10cm tall but it was strong and stable. 

Have you done this before?
