Summer learning Journey (practise)

By Anonymous -
This week Meghan came to visit Waikowhai Primary! She gave some some information about the Summer Learning Journey and how it works. She also explained what sort of prizes there are! Last year there was a tablet but this year there is a drone! We are doing a practise activity because some people have not tried the Summer Learning Journey and now they get to see how it works before the Summer Learning Journey actually happens. The practise activity we are doing is countries. We have to choose a country and we then write all the information and facts about the country that we chose. 
Here is the different types of countries that we could choose from!

Canada (North America), Mexico (Central America), Chile
(South America), England (Europe), Germany (Europe), South Africa (Africa), United Arab
Emirates (Middle East), Japan (Asia), Malaysia (South-East Asia), and Australia
(Australasia).
I chose Japan because I saw the pictures on the link and they looked so pretty and fun like on a video about Japan I saw penguins and Polar bears and they also have one of my favourite food...Sushi! 

Here are some fun facts or important facts!

  • Japan is made up of 6,852 islands.
  • The Japanese name for Japan is Nihon
  • The highest point in Japan in Mount Fuji, which stands at 3,776m (12,388ft).
The last activity was a bonus part. The bonus part is I have to write a letter to a friend why im going to Japan and other stuff. ( but im only imagining im going to Japan)

Dear Brooklyn: I am going to Japan because I have never been there and I would like to explore different types of clothes and hotels even food there! I will be probably staying there for 2 weeks! Oh wait! I think I have enough money for one person! would you like to come with me? Only if you're allowed to!

Reflection: I think it was easy and hard. The hard bit was when I wanted to explore other types of countries. But the easy bit was when it said why I wanted to be there!

Describing the setting

By Anonymous -
 This week we are working on using descriptive language by sharing our writing straight onto our blog. The challenge we have is to describe a place using only six sentences. After reading the description you need to guess the place that has been described. It would really help if you say what clues could help you come to this conclusion. Tall standing building tallest tower Sometimes glows at night shining different colours every second! near buildings that are very busy and also at the city been there for a long long time and has never fallen up in the clouds all pointy and still you can go inside it and have the most amazing view!

Des Hunt Visit's Waikowhai

By Anonymous -
Hello fellow bloggers! Today Waikowhai Primary had a special visitor that came in the morning, It was a very popular Author called Des Hunt! He writes all sorts of books for children that are aged up to 9-12 years old. He came here because he wanted to tell us all about his backstory and why he became a Author/illustrator.           Also at the end of the show we got to buy some of his books at morning-tea! He even talked about chemistry and what sort of jobs he did.         Right at the end we got to ask some questions as well before morning-tea. My favourite part was when he made a explosion all the way to the bench,         But I really like the huge explosion he created because it was bigger and it looked      like it could shoot better, then it shot all the way to another student!       I think it was the most important because when there are heaps of flies you can just put heaps of         fliespray in a little container and then you can explode it and the smell would k
