The Hungry Shark

I learnt how to create an animated story with Jade. We inserted a background and a png image.

After her speech this morning at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, Jacinda Ardern made her way down to Paihia School to meet students.

Northland MP Willow Jean Prime led Ms Ardern and members of the Labour caucus onto the school.

Students welcomed the Prime Minister with a pōwhiri and a boisterous performance of Utaina Mai before heading onto the field for a picnic lunch.

Ms Ardern was flanked by students as they asked her questions about politics, her favourite colour and hobbies.

Our class was really luck as Jacinda Arden sat amounst us while she ate her lunch.

Thea and Maya were really lucky to be given a banana muffin by Jacinta. It tasted yummy and they ate it it with great delight, not wasting a single crumb. Thea also gave her a beautiful necklace that she had especially made for her but she wore it as a bracelet.

Jacinda also shared her Mars chocolate bar with Thea, Jade, Maya, Ayanda, Brisa and Fern. It was so scumptuous and sticky because it had melted in the sun. Jacinda had to cut it with a plastic fork.

Jade was given a healthy salad from Jacinda. It was crisp and crunchy with a variety of lettuce, baby tomatoes, avocado, cuccumber, capsicum and salad dressing. It was so great to have something cool on such a hot day.

Teah bought some kauri wood and created a very special kauri pen for Jacinda that her her name engraved on it. Jacinda signed the cardboard box that it was presented in and now Teah has a special keepsake of her own to remind her of the day that our Prime Minister visted us at school. 

Jade's Coded Video

Jade has been learning to use Scratch Jnr for coding.  She has made a video to show you her projects.  Sorry it was her first time learning how to do this so the video takes a while to start and then a while to stop at the end.  Next time she will get better at her starting and stopping times. 

Gala Day Video

W.A.L.T. create a video using trailer on our i-pad. We had to ensure that we spelt all our words correctly the first time as it is tricky and time wasting to correct them. We had some of our photos deleted about our Gala day which was really disappointing but any way our creative learning was more about the process rather than the final product. The most important thing was that our class learnt so much about creating products to sell for profit at our Gala. We made $670 which was FANTASTIC for our camp to Cooper's Beach later in the month.



         

Jade Created a Book "Cooper's Beach"

W.A.L.T. create books using Book Creator. We are going to Cooper's Beach for a Camp next month. I learnt how to insert backgrounds and I now know it is easier to spell words the first time correctly rather than editing my work.

"Buddies Like Butterflies" Jade and Aimee

Jade and Mikaila's Puppet Presentation_Respect Other People's Things.

Respect others People’s Thing’s      

W.A.L.T.  Respect others People’s Thing’s

• Characters
• Bunny
• Sneaky fox number 1
• Sneaky fox number 2
• Hedgehog
• Tweety the Boss

On Sunday morning bunny’s eggs were missing from her burrow and the two sneaky foxes had taken her eggs to the boss. Then hedgehog came and looked for the eggs and they found them lying by Tweety the boss of the two Sneaky Foxes.

“Give the eggs to me now please!’’ “O.K.” “ Sorry for taking your eggs, we were just jealous that you have eggs and we don’t.” “ You just need to have some like me one day.”

How Long does it Take To?

W.A.L.T. identify the time taken to complete tasks. We had to estimate three tasks in seconds, three in minutes and three tasks in hours. We used a stop watch and the AA Travel distance guide to help us.

Tuatete whanau

Jade created her Tuatete Whanau one night because she was bored. Her Aunty with her  gathered pine cones from the bush near her place. One night they painted them, the next night they drilled holes for the eyes and legs. Last night they put in the toothpick legs and eyes in. Afterwards she made a nest with moss and pebbles. They have a cherry to eat, "I hope they like it" Jade said. Mum really loves Jade's hedgehog family. Jade is looking forward to creating some more creations with pine cones. Our class are hopefully going to create some crafty creations with pine cones that Jade can find for us.

Celebration -Rocket Launch New Zealand

One of the students in Te Moana, Imogen, chose to inquire about the Rocket launch at Mahia because someone very special to her was involved with it's launch.

Rocket Experiments

Imogen and I researched how we could launch our own rocket. We had to do a variety of experiments before our rocket actually launched. In the first experiment we put the lid on too tightly. In the second experiment we nearly drowned Shirley. In the third experiment the lid was too loose and the rocket only launched 30 cm off the ground. In our final experiment we learnt that you should not launch a rocket under a roof.

Jade's School Tryathlon Day

                      The School Triathlon Day.

On Friday the 24th early in the morning.  We  went down to the beach I thought that I was going to explode but I did not.

Then we  started are triathalon at the beach  when we got down there we had to wait are are turn to have a go.

But it was cool because we got to play on the sand. The sand was as swish as the sea, we also got to make the biggest sand castle in the world. It was as big as the tallest mountain  I have ever seen in my life. Then my mum, dad and my aunty gave me some credit to do it. then it was time for Te moana girls to go and have a turn in the water. The line was as straight as a rope then the teacher said that we are going to start the race then we all lined up then she came over to say that it was time to start the  race. “On your mark, get set gooooo!!” So we went. We were going as fast as a cheaters. Imogen was in the line and I was coming 2nd.

When we go out over the water we were so excited. My legs were so sore I had to stop running.

Then we had to cross the road to get on the other side, over the zebra crossing. I looked up,  I got tighter every time. When I got to school I was so excited but I had to keep going I ran around the edge as fast as a snail but I rode as fast as a cheater on my bike. So then we went we were going pretty fast starting line on my bike then she said on your mark get set goo on the bikes.

On my 2nd lap I nearly stopped, but I did not stop. When I go to the 3rd lap I came 2nd in the race on the bike .

When I got to the finish line I got to eat  my lunch then I went to go see my mum and she was go happy with me and she got  me some chicken  to eat for lunch.

After a little bit we got a few ice blocks then we had to  watch the little kids on their triathlon in the pool. They were going as fast as a torpedo in the water.

Then they were going as fast as tigers on the field they looked so tired on the bikes too. When they were finished we all had some  ice blocks.

Jade's Pumpkin

          My Giant Pumpkin

Last year in November I planted a teeny tiny pumpkin seed. It was my Aunty’s dream to grow an enormous pumpkin. First we gave it lots of fresh water and didn’t give it special fertilizer as it was growing in a vegetable garden.

Once it started to get big we gave it a shock with some special fertilizer. We had to make sure it did not go rotten on the wet ground and had to turn it around each day. But one day the vine began to rot and my pumpkin as round as the orange sun snapped off.

I heard about a pumpkin growing competition at Mitre Ten in Whangarei, so the big bright pumpkin was put onto a trolley as it was as heavy as a baby elephant, so we carefully, cautiously packed it in the car. It looked so funny with a car safety seat belt around it.

On competition day we entered our round reddy pumpkin and “Hey Presto !!” we won with the hugest heaviest humongous pumpkin weighing 34 kilos. I won an amazing garden pack of goodies.

Jade's Special Name

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.

Jade goes to Action World

                   Action World

One  Wednesday morning I woke up early In the morning but I thought we were not  going to Action World anymore. But we did it anyway, So we got ready.

When I  hopped on the bus  me and my friends were talking  about   going  to Action world, they sounded really cool.

When we got to school we went to say goodbye to the senior teachers because we had to go to Action World but then we had to go it was very exciting .

On our way to Action world we past a Motel, playground, Sea, My house and Countdown. Finally we were there, it looks really cool from where I was.

 When we went inside of Action World the Carol the Lady

  who owns Action World said that we can go play on the activities. The first thing I did was go on the rock climbing wall, then the ladder, then the sack activity next, the bars then I had something to eat!.

After that I grabbed my togs got dressed and ran up the water slide but after I went down the water slide I was as cold as ice, “Burrrr”

I was so sad that we had to go (sad smile) Then I paired up with my buddy and started joining the line. I had a great time I didn’t want to go I was so sad but we had to go. “I’ll miss you !!!!!!! Action World”

Jade, Franky, Mere and Jamie commented that the popcorn needed some butter to make it taste better.

Liam and Mere commented that we should have made rainbow popcorn.

Mikaila and Lilli-Rose commented that the popcorn needed some chocolate melted onto it.

Kingston commented that the popcorn tasted yummy and did not need any unhealthy stuff on it.

Play-Telling the Truth by Mark, Isabella-Paige, Calais and Jade

Last term our Reading Group read then acted a play "Telling the Truth" Mum was busy when her two naughty boys were playing with a balloon inside that knocked and broke her vase. The boys told a lie and blamed the cat. We were sad so we told Mum the truth later. We shared our play with the Room 0, 2 and 3 children.

We had to read with good expression making our reading sound like talking.We are also learning to read silently and follow the words when other people are reading.
