School Camp 2019 Shantytown

School Camp

On Wednesday 15th  May we went to shantytown for school camp.
My favourite activities were making flax ropes, building huts in the rain and making a  raft.
When I was making the  raft i was working with Bianca, Zac, Quinn, Victor, and our leader was Braber. My job was plating the flax  to make ropes. We put a doll on it and miz B dressed it  up to look like a maori chef, and guess what it actually floated.

The things we did on day 1 we  did our mihis to everyone
and Miss Barbour and Mrs Mears
we also went on the train to gold panning.
later in the day we did some carving with soap on mine I made  a R for Rebecca.
At night we explored Shantytown and we scared Miss B It was funny.
Then it was bedtime it was torcher people were moving and  talking and snoring
I got to sleep at about 12 and got into bed at about 8:30. Finally morning
We did a bit more thing then went back to  school.

   

Coordinates & Mapwork

This term we have been learning about measurements, coordinates and map work.

We learnt about the directions of the compass.
(North, East, South, West)

The activities that we did were drawing floor plans
and coordinate map activities.
My favourite active was drawing the map of our school
and using it  for a treasure hunt we used  Jess's map for it.
Guess what the treasure was 2 packets of CHOCOLATES!! 

The map  that we are doing is going to help us with our camp
coming up and our rafting trip.

Our first term!

 Our first term!!

In our first term of 2019 we had a big change.

We had  a new teacher her name is miss B she is from South Africa,

and some students got some new chromebooks. 

Also there were some new students, that came to our school,

and we went to the pool for midland line swimming and we won 

THE RELAY!

What I really like about our new teacher is that she buys lego  for us so we have

got a lego club going on. 

Also we had  to special day they were valentine's day and pi-day.

Paper Planes

Paper Planes 

The winners were...

1st Jono

2nd Stella

3rd Jess

I learnt that paper planes  are heavier if you add more color.

I didn't do well mine went up then sored down into the tree then went under 

a crack in the school but someone got it for me. 

 

Heros

You have  to be brave and unselfish and smart to be a hero. 

I admire Chesley Sullenberger as a hero,
because  he saved people by landing the plane,in the in the Hudson river.
He would have felt scared or worried
I think he is a very brave man.

Pi-Day

Weird and Wonderful

First I added up all the numbers of days in each month and got 365 days in the whole year then I multiplied it by three and got 1095 milliliters of water to keep my cactus alive for a year.
