CO2 Car Contract

Make a Wordle using words to show how you would feel if you won the CO2 Car Race Day. 

Week 8 Reflection

What: This week Room 15 went to badminton. I was sad because it was the last week we are going there. We got our buddy's in badminton. I was Anaru's buddy. We faced Mitchell and Tyrone. It was an easy game. Anaru and I won by 70/69. We almost lost. We learnt a new trick how to catch the shuttle with the racket. This week Room 15, Room 5 and Room 6 had social dancing. It was not fun dancing. I hated it but I still did it. We danced with all the girls in the hall. There was like 48 of them. We did the cha cha cha and lots of other dancing. I was just about to walk out of the hall because I was so bored of dancing. We started building our extreme CO2 cars. We got our inquiry book and traced the block of wood that we got from Mrs Larsen on our book. The inside of the block that we traced on our book we drew a little car in it. We made the  front of the car the air foil shape. Then we showed Mrs Larsen, then if she said yes we drew it on the block the same shape that we drew in our book. That is all I got to do for my CO2 car for the start.

So What: I learnt not to walk out of the hall in social dancing. I learnt how to catch a shuttle
with the racket. And I learn how to start making CO2 cars.

Now What: I need to dance better. And I need to finish my CO 2 car.

Warring poster

Senior School Athletics

On Tuesday the Senior School had athletics. We had shot put, sprints, long distance, vortex, long jump and high jump. I won in vortex and I came second in high jump. I felt very happy!!! 

Assembly Item

Our item on Friday was so wicked because it was the first time we got the whole play right. Our item was called 2 pigs a wolf and a mud pie. We had to practice it heaps, like 5 times. I was Hansel and Joshua was Gretel. Keylen was Tic, Jake was Tac and Kahu was Toe. They were the pigs.  I was in scene 2, the enchanted forest, Caleb was Cinderella and Casey was Snow White. Tarron was the wolf.  There were 7 dwarfs and the people at the ball. Brandin was the witch.  It was hard to get the timing right.

Lots of people were laughing. We had to say our words really loud so the people could hear us at the back of the hall.  I was nervous at the start of the play but when I said it, I was not that nervous. In the play the witch took us into her ginger bread house so she could eat me and Gretel.

Athletics Practice

This week Room 15 had athletics practice. We went into the shed and got the things out we needed for high jump. Then we set up the things for high jump. After that we went into 2 groups. I was in group 1. I went to long jump first. I got the furtherest. After that my group went to high jump. It was so fun doing high jump. I didn't hit the bar. After that we went back to class.

Handwriting

This week we have been doing handwriting. We focused on the letters FE. We wrote in our best handwriting. We were linking. We get timed, if you finish before 15 minutes you got to read if you don't you have to go to work fishing. I like handwriting because you can learn more and be better at it.

Week 3 Reflection

WHAT This week most of Room 15 went swimming. We mostly go 2.30pm. When we went swimming we went into the changing Rooms and got dressed. after that I was playing a game with my friends then I got out of the pool and went on the huffy sliders. I went around the swimming pool really fast on them then we went back to class. This week we played badminton our badminton teacher is Mr Feist. We had a warm up and played a game then we got on the floor and Mr Feist was talking to us about back hand stroke. After that we got up and played a game of badminton, it was so fun! Our habit of mind is taking responsible risks we did this habit by finding a character that takes risks and sharing it on our blog. 

So What: I learnt how to use a back hand stroke and I learnt how to swim better.

Now What: My goal is to take responsible risks and to finish my work faster. I achieved last weeks goal because I learnt lots more about badminton.  

Reading Activity

For our reading activity we are learning to create an image in our mind from the text called tiger paste. We drew a picture of a tiger because he was acting like he was going to eat the ostrich in the text then he was acting scared so he jumped of the couch and ran of because of the TV. Here is my one.

Boy Vs Beast

Boy Vs Beast

 For our habit of mind we have been learning about taking responsible risks. I think Kai takes irresponsible risks because Kai could be killed or hurt really badly when he fights the monsters. The risks that he takes are fighting big monsters and going around looking for monsters and he holds weapons. I chose this character because it has lots of risks.

Week 2 Reflection

What: This week Room 15 have been making calender art. We had to finish a plan first. We get a piece of paper from Mrs Larsen. We drew our plan on the piece of paper but we made it more detailed and better. We gave the piece of paper to Mrs Larsen if she said it was good we got to use the dark vivid. We went over the pencil with it. After that we got to dye our art work. We put it on the drying table then we had finished! On Wednesday we went to badminton with Mr Feist. He taugth us lots of things. Me and Keylen were buddis we were facing Harry and Anaru. Me and Keylen won. I was not that good at badminton. Keylen was!! Our habit of mind is taking responsible risks.

So What I learnt lots about badminton. I learnt how to make calender art.

Now What: I need to learn more about badminton and I need to dye more. I need to do these by trying way harder.

We had to get our mighty pad to write our goals, then we got a paper leaf once the teachers checked our goals. We wrote our goals on the leaf then the teacher put it on the success-o-meter.    

Week 1 Reflection

What: This week Room 15 played Rippa rugby with 2 experts. We played 2 or 3 games. There was a game when you had to find space, who ever had that most space got to build what ever they want like a candy land. We played a game where you pass the rugby ball to each other. We had 2 teams. I was in team 2. We won once but the other team won 5 times. We played a game about defending and attacking. The attackers had to run and try and get a goal. The defenders were trying to not let them get a goal. Maybe Room 5 and 6 are going to face us in a CO2 car race. We have not started to build them yet. I think we are next week. Our class knows more about CO2 cars I think. Our habit of mind is taking responsible risks.

So What: I learnt how CO2 cars work. I learnt some Rippa rugby skills.

Now What: My goal is to find out lots more about CO2 cars. I need to learn how to play Rippa rugby because I have never played Rippa rugby.

Holidays

Finally it was the holidays. After a week it was my birthday. I got more than $280. I went to the shop and I got a $139 touch screen phone. It could connect to the internet at home. I was really happy. I spent some of my other money that I had left on clothes and an electric lamp. I was playing with my lamp at night. It was cool that was the most money I have ever had in my life. Johny, Jayne and I went to the dairy I spent $3 on lollies.

I was in Anaru's group our robot span for 59 seconds. We had a challenge. Me and Anaru came second in the challenge. Then we went into cooking we made apple tarts. First you have to get flour then you get dough then you get an apple. You get given a apple core thing that goes into the apple and takes out the core and pips. You put the dough into this tin then you put it into a stove and wait 10 minutes. When it cooks put icing sugar on the tart.

On Tuesday some of Room 15 went to Palmerston North. We went to a show at the regent called Magnolia Street it was about an old lady, teenager and a man. The show was awesome and funny. The teenagers name is Jake. I like the show because they put a lot of effort in it. After that we went to the park and had lunch and morning tea. We were playing on the play ground then we went to the Lido. It was so fun I have been there heaps but its better with more people in it. I mostly went on the hydro slide. Our Habit of mind is gathering data through all senses.

So What: I learnt that if you put a lot of effort in something you can do it well. I also learnt how to make apple tarts and robot toys.

Now What: My goal is to make tarts at home for my mum, brothers and my sister. My goal is to put more effort in to things like work.

We got wood for the fire.  We went to my Auntie’s house it was her birthday.
