SLJ Setting sail

Kia ora, Today is the first day of summer learning journey I am
really excited. This activity is about how the polynesians
navigated and what they used. I have learnt that the
polynesian navigators used the sun, moon, stars, planets,
the ocean currents and clouds.They used these to guide their
way through the ocean they also used them to find land.
For this activity we also had to list 10 food items we would
take with us on a waka hourua (Double held canoe)

Here are my 10 food items and why I would take them.

Teaser Week

This week is teaser week. If you don’t know what teaser week is,
Teaser week is a week where you can do heaps of activities.
Like find out things about a famous actor or singer This was
very fun. I had to find out information about Lorde. My
favourite fact I found about Lorde was that she has a
neurological condition; Which means when she hears
sounds of music she can see colours. This condition
also includes strokes, migraine and multiple sclerosis.
We are also doing this to practise for the summer learning
journey in the holidays and so I can improve over the holidays.

Action World

In Te Ngahere this week we went to Action World, it was really fun.
When we were walking to action world it was very windy.
My favourite thing about Action world is the battle zone and the
tightrope. The first couple of times I went on the battle zone I fell
off because Izaiah was really confident and I wasn’t. On the rope
the furthest I went was to the blue line which was very difficult.
The only thing that was missing at Action World was the slide
because it was not blown up.

Here are some photos

 

My trip part 2

Last Saturday my aunty, cousin, and I went out for the whole day. For breakfast we went to Starbucks, I ordered a caramel latte, cake pop and a cheese and bacon croissant, it was delicious. After breakfast we went to a Market. At the Market we  purchased good presents for my cousins at home. I also got me some clothes and Airpods (not real). We went to a swimming place named Aquatopia, it's like a little Wet and Wild but it was still really cool. After all that we finished our day with a movie. It is no ordinary movie. It is  a drive in movie which means you get your car and drive it on to a parking lot. You also sit in your car and watch a movie. We Watched Maleficent 2

Here are some photos of that day.

Kia ora bloggers, Last  Tuesday my Nan and I went to Sydney
Australia. We are going to Sydney because we are looking after

more weeks. It was my first time being on a plane it was a
Interesting experience. my ears were really sore when we landed

Aquaman and Aladdin. We also got free food from the fly
attendants. I decided I wanted pasta and Ice cream It was delicious.

Terrific tips on how to stay safe on a boat

Terrific tips on how to stay safe on a boat

Recently Whaea Tracy came to Paihia School for the last time this year. Once again she has taught me a lot. Most of the things she talked about I already knew but needed a reminder. She talked to Te Ngahere about boat safety. Something new I learnt this time was about different types of flares and what they do. There are three different flares. We learnt about the parachute flare, orange cloudflare and smoke flare. I learnt that the parachute flare is the best flare Because it stays visible in the sky more than the others. We also had to create a DLO  about 5 ways to stay safe on a boat. Next time I go on a boat I will remember these terrific tips

Here is my DLO

STEAM

In Te Ngahere for the first day back at School we did a Steam challenge. We were learning how to make a free standing tower using 2 sheets of newspaper and a 30 cm piece of tape. This steam challenge was very challenging for me. With our equipment we had to see who can build the tallest tower only using that equipment. We were not allowed to lean it on a table or anything else like a chair ect it had to be free standing tower. Emma and Zhynaliyah  Built the tallest free standing tower It was measured upto 118cm. The base of the tower worked well for our group because it made our tower easier to stand and keep stable. I found out that trying to keep the tower stable is very Hard. I Worked well with my group members Because we were listening to each other's ideas and we all helped each other. We also could of Made our tower taller and the top of the tower straight.

Here is a  photo of me and my group and our tower.
