2020 Camp
I.A.L.T upload my camp reflection to my blog and write about it.
Last week was our school camp, we went to a camp called Aroha Island. This is near Kerikeri. We stayed away for two nights and three days. Tui and Kereru were the two classes that went on camp. We did lots of activities such as kayaking, walks, kiwi searching and much more.
Here is my camp reflection.

Reading task
W.A.L.T upload our reading task to our blog and write about it.
Last week we had to make a marine life diagram, to do this we had to get a piece of paper and choose which part if the ocean you would like to do then we had to research about what marine life live there, after that we had to draw lots of marine life and then label all of it and to finish we had to colour it all in. We had to do this task in buddy's, my buddy was Caleb.
Here's our diagram below.

Kiwi Can
W.A.L.T upload a post showing what we learnt in Kiwi Can today.
Today we had the second Kiwi Can lesson. Our focus for today was respect, the catch phrase today was ' we respect our school, we do it because we're cool'. We played snap, crackle and pop and so, ma, ca, lo. My favourite game was snap, crackle and pop. To play this game you have to get into a group of three, then you have to pick what word you want to be either Snap, crackle or pop, after that we had to sit a circle with your groups and the whole class standing up and if your word gets called out then you have to run around the circle, while the person is running the other two people have to hold each others legs and once that person runs around the circle then they have to go under the other two's legs and grab the object in the middle. To end Kiwi can we played a quick game of GKQ.
Here's some photos below.

pool session
Yesterday we had a class trip to the Te punawai- Ora pools to learn how to snorkel. Our class is participating in the Experiencing Marine Reserves Programme, where we learn about the marine environment and how it is affected by humans. First we learnt how to use our mask and snorkel by holding onto a boogie board, next we learnt how to use our flippers and mask without the board and last we learnt how to go under the water with our snorkels.
Here's some photo's below.

Waitangi day.
I.A.L.T reflect o our class trip.
On Tuesday, we went to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. When we hopped off the 1.5 hour bus ride, we got taken to the learning centre where we had morning tea, after that we went for a walk to see the 5 waka's and the carving's around them. Later on in the afternoon we had a play around on scratch, making the sprites move and a scratch animation of your art. Our scratch animation had to show our audience what our art symbol for the art gallery meant to us.
Here's some photo's below.
My least favourite part was the scratch because we make things out of scratch quite a lot. I didn't find I learnt as much as what I thought I may have.
Have you ever been to Waitangi before?

Newspaper file
I.A.L.T upload my reading task to my blog and write about it.
Today we had Mr Metzger in our class. For our reading task we had to do this newspaper file, to do this we had to go onto kiwi kids news and search up what it says on the paper, we had to fill in 16 boxes.
Here's mine below.
Next time to improve on my task I could of made it a bit neater.
My Favourite part was looking at the odd stuff because it was some weird stuff.
My least favourite part was writing because it took forever.
