We are all equal.
For Play, Make, Create I worked with O.J.
We created a park for a panda called Dotty, and a snake called Snorty we did the task Create.
What worked well was my trampoline because it doesn't look messy and it's really cute and aesthetic.
I would change the trees on the ground and the bushes because I think it looks tacky.
For my fabulous finish, The story we were reading was The one and only Ivan.
The characters were Ivan, Bob, Themla, Julia, Ruby, Stella, George, and Mack.
I worked on a Descriptive passage and the character I chose to do was Bob.
Bob is a little scruffy dog who was thrown out of a truck when he was a few weeks old.
The people in my literacy group is Me, Emily, Chrysler, Marley, Shirly, and Shanae
My Favorite part was doing the fabulous finish because I worked on my own and my picture is just really cute.
Something I would do next time is and a bit more writing.
For Play, Make, Create I worked with Meah.
The story was based on being a good leader and the story was Theodore the unsure.
We did design and created shivers there crossed between scissors and shaver.
What worked well in our creation is the shaver because we only had one copy which on the other hand not so well with the scissors.
I would change the handle of the scissors.
Be me.
For this week's Play, Make, Create we listened to a story called Be me.
I worked with my friend Melina.
The category was Make and we made a bakery meal.
What worked well was that we finished on time and we didn't rush and it looks tasty.` `
We would change the cake and cheese to look more like cheesecake.
During Term 1 we have been practicing our addition and subtraction knowledge through the online program called NumBots. At the start, it was super easy but progressively got more challenging.
I am now on the glass level of NumBots.
I enjoy NumBots because It can be challenging as well as fun.
What I find challenging is that the challenges get harder and harder each time I go up a level.
This week we have started TTRockstars. This is an online program which helps us to learn our timetables. First, we had to complete 10 Studio games which were really hard because they had basic facts right up to 12 x 12. Now that the hard part is over we can play in the Garage and start learning our tables.
On TTRockstars I am a Rockstar the levels on TTRockstars goes from Wannabe to Rock Hero I use to be a Rock legend but my speed has gone down so now I'm now a Rockstar.
For Play, Make, Create I worked with Heidi and the book was Up the creek the story was about friends learning to do teamwork.
Me and Heidi did the task make so we made a boat we never finished the boat tho.
What worked well for me was unfolding the box and refolding it back into shape.
Something I would change about the boat would be the front and I would add a lot more details to make it look like a boat.
For Maths mystery, I worked with Azahliah we got the wrong answer at the start because we got the first answer wrong but then we tried it again and we got it right. Then we worked out the shoe size, if the drink bottle was plastic or metal, their year group if they're male or female, and their athletic team color. !The culprit was Mollie!
This week for Play, Make, Create, I worked with Azahliah our theme was camp so me and Azahliah built a camp-ground. I quite enjoyed it. The things we have at the camp are a campfire with seating, a tent with 2 diarys and sleeping bags, an outhouse, a lake, and a river with a floatie.
This is what we made.
This week we had Play, Make, Create. I worked by myself and I didn't get mine finished in time.
We got to choose a few tasks and I chose art.
The book it was based on was Giraffes can't dance.
Monday was our school Swimming Sports. On the day I came 1st in freestyle 2 and 1 lengths I came either 2nd or 3rd in 2 and 1 length backstroke. This year was quite different because we were in level 2 so parents couldn't come.
We had two art sessions this week and I'm in Miss Mac's art group. We started out in our art books to sketch our animal eyes then we got a big piece of card paper and then we had to cut long triangles with different materials such as fabric, paper and etc.
This week we were put into our Literacy groups and I'm with Mrs. Heven and Mrs. Loft so far we've done summarising and predicting one of my predictions is very funny.
Part of our maths program is NumBots and I think I am really good at it because my aim this week was to get to the end of steel and I am near the end.
Week 4, Term 1, 2021
The most interesting/fun thing we have done during class time this week is doing Takaro because I played with people I wouldn’t usually play with.
We started our art this week and I have chosen to do art with Miss Mac. Our art is going to be Collage I chose collage because it had a bit of everything.
We created our Whetū stars on Thursday and they look extraordinary because I had photos of my family and we put a whakatoke on the other side of the star and I did some patterns around the quote as well.
Next week we have our school swimming sports. I am feeling Confident and edgy at the same time. I'm feeling a bit nervous because I might end up coming second or third but I'm confident in myself because I never give
`Week 3, Term 1, 2021
Someone who has helped me with my learning this year is Friends, Teachers.
The most interesting/fun thing we have done during class time is swimming, numbots, and rotations.
The most fun thing that I have done at a play or lunchtime this year is poison letter, tag and saving a butterfly. (It was really fun to help the butterfly)
One word that describes learning in Whetu is enjoyment.
