helping out for athletics day 2017

On November the 29 we had our athletics day. I didn't do it because I am not allowed to run. After morning tea we had to do sprints. I just sat there and cheered for people. when the races were over it was time for lunch. Then after lunch we did the rest of the activities like discus, shot put, high jump and long jump.  I helped Miss Y with the measuring and with there length. 

Feedback Needed

This Term at school we are doing novel study. My novel is Holes by Louis Sachar. Part of it is the Character traits. Character traits is a slide show about the characters in the story. What we need to do is write about and make/draw a picture of what I think the Character looks like.  In order for me to finish I need your help. This is one of the slides and is not the finished product. please tell me what I have done well and what I need to improve on.

The Last Fight at Swimming

These last two weeks at Canterbury Swim School I have been learning how to be a better swimmer. My Goal was to improve on my back stroke and I think I have. I have been in the big pool with Andrew my amazing swimming teacher. He has been teaching us how to do the different kinds of strokes in the water. We have been tort to breath stroke and back stroke. See you soon...

I am back from swimming now.we learnt how to stay safe around and in the water. we ware  our togs and put every day clothing on top of it. Some of the things that I learnt are how to keep your head above the water, how to do survival back stroke. After that we learnt that it is bad to jump into to water to save someone and it is better to put something in the water to pull them in.

Cool 3D

We,re learning to count faces, edges and corner in 3D. in this video I will be showing you how to count faces, edges and corners in 3D. If there is a poor sound quality please let me know so that i can improve and any other mistakes, thank you is you do.

fun pool

For the first two weeks of term four Hornby Primary School has been lucky enough to be able to have swimming lessons at Canterbury Swim School. I'm am in the biggest of the two pools. I was in the small pool but i was moved. So far I have learnt to do  Breaststroke and I can kind of do stream line. Streamline is when you put your hands out in front of you and kick with your feet. Breaststroke is the same but you have your hands going in circle and you breathe every second push of your hand.

I think I am doing good but I will need to improve.

I have ritin a story ona video that is bast on a man playing a piano and remembering things from the past that has hapend to hin

I started play the huge dark brown piano. I wasn’t playing a song but just some kind of tune that i played with my wife before my wife past away. Then I started to remember things like when my delightful and amusing wife sate on the compacted rocklike wood seat.

Then I remember the great battle and being forced to assassinate other people with a sniper. I remember hiding behind a fragmented wall by another soldier that jumped out to shoot but he got shot in the chest and past out.

As I played the piano I i had a memory of when i gave my grandson a toy sea horse. That he rode for hours and hours. To this day I still remember his astonished face when he saw the gift and when he pushed the last key for the song and then smiled at me

Ako Nagtahes Part in the Extraviga

W.A.L.T do a live performance in front of people we don't know.

.

This term Ako Ngatahi have been doing a topic on New Zealand Music Month.  We had to choose one of ten songs that were made before 2001. One of them was Gutter Black by Hello Sailor because I thought it was cool and I was right.

Here is a link Gutter Black

We made props for our performance. He made a drum set and painted it, We made three guitars and a saxophone too.  We performed on the 30th of August and the 31st  in the High School auditorium.

Some things that wete good were that everyone was there that said they were going. No-one got hurt or fell off the stage and that most of us had fun. Some of the bad things that happened were that for one of the acts the wrong music was played and that some people wanted to see the act but they couldn't because they didn't have tickets.

Mid Year review

These last two terms in Ako Ngatahi I think that I have been a bit bad at doing my work on time and putting it up, but next term I hope to improve by putting up and finishing work in the time frame I'm given. I think that I can improve by not sitting by someone that will distract me from doing my work. I also think that I might need to work in a quiet working environment. I know that I need to improve my letter and number formation. When planning my work, I need to make sure I am being realistic about the amount of work that I can do in the time I am given. I feel that I have a negative attitude about both learning and my own abilities and that this is impacting on my work. I need to work on adjusting my attitude, I think that this will help me learn better and help me finish work on time.

A Trip To Spencer Park

On Friday Ako Ngatahi, Room 3 and Wahi Ako went on a school trip to Spencer park. We took a bus to Spencer park. On the bus I was bored and quiet and just wanted to get there because kids were being loud.

When we got there we were put into groups. I was put into group number three with Mrs Mclachlan. After that the teachers said we could go onto the playground. The first thing I went on was the flying fox. I only had one go because there was a huge line. Then I went on the big rope pyramid. I climbed all the way to the top I could see all the way to the wetlands.

Then it was time to go for the wetlands walk. On the wetlands walk I saw lots of birds. Some were hawkes, pukeko and white hearon.

After this, we went to the beach and saw lots of shells that came in all shapes and sizes and big bits and small bits of drift wood. Some of us saw a little centipede and a dead bird. I also saw a shell with flesh in it and a big bubble came out then it moved and liquid came out. Then we went back to the playground and got the bus and went back to school. On this trip I learnt that some things from the sea look weird and might hurt you.

Dinosaur Insect Facts

W.A.L.T Think carefully about what I am reading and how I use the text.
We got to choose one of four topics for our reading and I choose Weta. I found my information by reading an article in a school journel and by googling Weta information.

The Present

In the past weeks our class (Ako Ngatahi) were writing a short story about a video titled “The Present”. It was a story about a boy who got a present and it was a puppy. After he discovered that the puppy only had three legs.

Here is the video

“The Present”

W.A.L.T: Write a narrative

Success Criteria

I know I will be successful when….

• The title is suitable for the text.

• The orientation tells who the story is about, and when and where the story happened.
• The complication describes a problem and explains what happened next.
• The resolution explains how the problem was solved.

I was playing video games when my mum came in with a box and put it in front of me. Annoyed, I said “Mum”! Then she said something about “It's a beautiful day outside”. Then the phone rang and she said “Open the present I got for you”. She walked up the stairs with the phone in her hand. I got curious. I started to open it when a little brown puppy with a big black nose popped it’s head out. I picked it up and put it on my lap. I then saw it was missing one leg. I pushed it off my lap and onto the floor. Then I said “Yuck, she’s gotta be kidding me”. I was so angry I hit the box off the table. It landed on the floor in front of the tv.  

I kept playing video games. The puppy started to roll around. Then it sat up and looked at me. It walked over and started to bark. I kicked it away it rolled and landed on its back. Then it saw a red ball under the wall unit. It stood up and tried to run off to get the ball but BANG! He crashed into the wall unit. He shook his head and grabbed the ball. I looked down and saw that he had rolled the ball over to my foot then he ran over. I kicked the ball into the box. He ran to get it but he fell over then he fell over in the box. He ran around in the box then he crashed into the set of drawers. He lifted the box off himself then started to bark at the box. He saw me laughing at him. He looked up and saw me looking at him. He picked up the ball and brought it over. He put the ball down in front of me. I picked up the ball and put it in my pocket.

I decided that I liked this puppy after all because he was funny and silly. I then grabbed my crutches and walked towards the door. Then I opened the door and shouted “Mum, we’ll be outside”. Then we went out. I thought he was going to be a good friend for life because he is missing one leg like me.
