Wave Pools

W.A.L.T. create books on Book Creator. I learnt how insert images, add pages and panels. It was difficult to fit some of the images into the panels.

" I Like Cars" by Harlem and Te Awanui

AJ and Imogen's "Keep Your Hands to Yourself"

“Keep your Hands to Yourself!”

W.A.L.T. understand relationships and use puppets to show what our relationship was about. Imogen and I created a puppet show called “Keep Your Hands to Yourself”. It was about teaching people to not hurt each other and not touch other people at all when they don’t want to be touched by not invading their space. Also how to get along with each other.  If you are kind and caring you will have more friends. Next time I am going to try to make it in 30 secs. I found it frustrating trying to create a video in such a short time.

Relationship Presentation using Lego "It's Cool to Help!"

W.A.L.T. express their ideas, needs, wants, and feelings appropriately and listen sensitively to other people and affirm them. We learnt to help each other, we also learnt that you should do it very often. Our title is the mighty battle. My characters are Knight one and Knight two. My presentation with lego is about to help each other.

Harlem's Lucky Find when cleaning the beach

Beach Clean up Day.

On Friday Room 0 and 4 did Beach clean up we walked past the leafy lifey leaves and past the big enormous bus.  When we got to the beach the sand was as hot as a furnace.  The water shone like glitter.

The cruise boat was big as a elephant. The green grazed grass was as spiky as a mohawk. Wet stinky, smelly,

slithery sand was under our feet. The noisy blazing helicopter! was ruining our ears.

Jahrell brought his cool toys so when we got to the beach we could play. We had to line up to go back to school when we got back we had lunch. Jahrell, Dale and I went to go play, we mixed the toys up and put different body parts on them. When bell ran we rushed back to class, we did some writing and some reading and maths. It was exciting to do the beach clean up and I hope we do that again and I hope we get more stuff next time and

do another competition with each other. I hope

everybody else and I will find some more cool stuff

like I did  on the grass. I found  a shiny necklace that I picked up from the ground, I didn’t know whose it was so I gave it to Miss Simmonds and she said to me, “ After school I’ll take this to the police station” and I said, “O.K.!” And then we had assembly it was Te Ngahere’s turn, then when the bell ran we packed up and did our lucky dip before we went home.

Finally we packed our bags and went home to have a rest

and a restful weekend at home with our parents. Hopefully we’ll do awesome stuff with our parents and have a great day with everybody else’s family and friends.

Harlem's First Tryathlon

  Tryathlon Day

On Friday we had a school tryathlon, first we had to swim across the beach  we ran to Rachel the water was cold as a bucket of ice and I swam like a shark. Then we swam to Stef , next  we also  swam to Cam before we  ran  out of the water I was as slow as sloth. The sand was warm as a blanket, I  was exhausted,  I couldn't run,  but my Father cheered me up it sound like he said,  “ Come on son, pick up your hoe  of  Kaha !”,  but  I couldn’t  so  ran as fast as I could.   Once I picked up my bike I zoomed off, like a boss. Jade was in front, I was so tired but I told myself ,come on Harlem, pump those legs. I changed gears that made me more tired so I changed back to one, and then I got to Shirley.                                                             Then  we went on the pump track, when I got to the other side

my dad was cheering to me, so when  I was  on my second

lap  I went over to Shirley she told me, “ When you get to Mrs Cameron, go  past the cone , then when I crossed the finish

line Ms Hadwin gave  me a choc muesli bar.  Slowly I walked back to the court, I was impressed with myself because it was my first time doing a school triathlon and it was best day I’ve had in life.

Next week in the weetbix tryathlon I would try to be the best I can do, but I hope that I have so much fun in the weetbix tryathlon.  I’ll try my hardest to work my way to get a medal . Te Moana ended the day with their assembly I told  everyone  to have a lovely weekend and do some reading, writing and maths.

Also do some  homework and hope you have a restful weekend

nd a playful weekend  and also eat your weetbix.

To conclude I hope that we do, a school tryathlon

again  some time soon and the weetbix tryathlon I  hope  it is fun  and  cool prize and activities and I hope I  win a  cool prize.

 

Harlem's Thank you card to Our Surf Life Savers

Today we learnt how to make cards using Google Slides. I had to insert photos and be very careful how I set up the layout for my card so that we could print it correctly.

Swim Safe Lesson 1

Swim Safe One

We rolled into the water. At swim safe we ran to the old chilly changing room then everyone put on a life jacket. We got into the springy shiny water. It was as much fun as climbing an old huge tree. We fell backwards onto our backs. We creating a linked chain, a straight line and a huddle it was fun.  We lay in the pool like we are sunbathing. We practiced and had to pretend that we had had a shipwreck in a boat and had to survive in the sea for a long time.

We did swim safe with tricky Tracey.

All the girls and boys got out and got back into the old chilly changing room. The boys were so fast that they had time to go for a run before returning to the classroom instantly.

We have been learning about keeping our Chromebooks in good condition

Harlem at Action World

           Action World

On  Wednesday  we went  to  Action  World.   We waited to be invited into the fun zone.

When she said that we could  go and play

I  went  on the  fighting  zone I fought   most people  but  my  cousin  whacked  me off the  fighting  zone  and  when I fell it was  existing but it was hard to get off.

When I got out I went on the enormous slide.I went speeding down like a cheater “Now that was fun” I said then when the lady said

“Girls come and play on the water slide,” the girls ran fast like a cheater  because they were  excited the boys had to wait. By the time it was the boys turn then when they turn the water slide off.  The boys had the get changed and had to go to the table that we had our morning tea and, lunch the lady was thanking us for coming to Action World

Then we left Action World and we all had fun.

 

Golf Lesson 3

Last week we had our third Golf lesson with Paul. We played on the grass instead of the court. We had to hit a a target much further away. We had to have our legs apart with our toes pointing to the ball on the tee. Our thumbs were pointing down. The tee had to point to the target. We had to make an "L" when we swung to hit the ball. The ball was hit with a bulls eye on the club so it went was hit at the correct angle. We can't wait until the next lesson next Wednesday.

Transformation in Geometry

Transformation: 

At assembly we presented our three charts that we all contributed to to demonstrate the key idea of transformation. At level 1 is that the position and appearance of an object can be changed by reflecting (flipping), translating (sliding) and rotating (turning) it. At level 1 students understand that objects can be moved in space.  Together as a class we have completed our Geometry unit with revision of Stage 1.

Reflections (flip). Objects can be reflected or flipped through lines which are external (outside) to the shape, or which run through the shape. Objects which have been reflected are described as mirror images of the original object. 

  Rotations (turn): Objects are turned in a circular motion around a fixed point, which is called the centre of rotation. The centre of rotation can be inside or outside the shape itself. The amount the object is turned is called the angle of rotation. 

Translations (slide). Objects that have been moved by translation, or sliding, look the same as the original object, but they are in a different position.

The Three Billy Goats Gruff

“Three Little Billy Goats’’

Characters in the Play:

Billy Goat One: Harlem

Billy Goat Two: Zayne

Billy Goat Three: Dale

Troll: Stormy-Lee

Our play that we are presenting to an audience starts when Billy Goat One wants to go over the bridge to eat some grass. Billy Goat  Two comes  along then the Troll popped up from under the bridge and said, “I’m a troll, I’m a troll and I live down a hole,” “ Who are you, Are you going to eat some grass,” “Yes!” “I’m going to eat you up,” said the troll. Billy Goat Two went over the bridge and the troll popped out of the bridge and the troll said, “I’m a troll and the second Goat said, “Go away!” “I want to eat some grass.” “The troll said, “I’m going to eat you up,” and the troll said, “I’m a troll, I’m a troll, and I want to eat you all up.” Billy Goat Three went over the bridge and the troll popped out of the bridge.                         

Harlem's Speech--" Is Soccer a better game than Rugby League?"

Is Soccer a better game than Rugby League?

HARLEM

Firstly

I'm a big boy I have a tough head  I  look very cuddly. But watch out for my Shenun Johnstun side step and Sonny- Bill left hit. Of  course  I think league is a better game than soccer.

Secondly, my family was bought up around Rugby League. My grand-dad played when he was younger, then he grew up and had kids. My Dad and two uncles taught me how to play tough but fair.

Thirdy, League is so cool it is the best game I have ever played in my life. I love playing it. In soccer you have to be super fast. You have to have long legs. I think I’ll be very good and I’m built for Rugby League. You also have to have mean as kicking skills. I’d make a good goalie.

To conclude, Rugby League is so cool. It’s the best game I ever played in my life and I love playing it. If you bump me off I’m going to hit you harder. If you tackle me down, I’m going to stand up stronger. Rugby League is a game for a WARRIOR !!!!
