 2 weeks the school had Athletics Day! Athletics is a day where all the students wear mufti, and there are heaps of activities for the whole school to do. But we cant just do the roll then start Athletics straight away! We have to line up in our age year and gender! For example im 10 years old and I have to line up with the 10/11 years old girls. Activities that were there on the day was high jump, long jump, fun relays, tennis, and I think there was a 100 meter run and much much more activities! But one sport that was my favourite was the high jump. Last year in high jump I think I came 2nd. And this year I came 4th place because there were heaps of good people in the year sixes. Something that was hard for me was tennis because it was really hard to hit the ball back to the other player ( and there were also some places that you couldn't go past.) Something that was easy for me was the runs. Because I came 1st when I was racing with the other year 6 girls. But when I was i...

In class for inquiry we have been working on something for the bush (which is at our school).  We had to think of a problem that was in our bush. And I chose rubbish because we have a lot of rubbish in our bush. After we did our problem we did a game called crazy eights! It is a game where you get creative and we draw anything to save the bush. Not everybody chose rubbish some people chose birdhouses, stopping predators and more! But not only did we have to do that! We had to divide our page into eight squares then draw!  After that we got creative again, but with heaps of craft stuff. But some people chose tinker-cad, and I was one of the people who chose tinker-cad! Something that was hard for me was putting all the shapes in my box. Because I had to make some shapes small and some big. Something that was easy for me was making the big shapes because I could just place it where I wanted it to be placed because you can see it clearly. What I learned was the word prototy...

The first day of term the teachers came up with a lot of tumbles for Te Waka Ako to finish by today! There were three tumbles! The reading tumble, maths tumble and the writing tumble. The reading tumble was when you got to choose what book you wanted to read then you had to do a slideshow about the book that you read. The maths tumble was the same thing as the reading tumble but we didn't read a book we just had to do maths work. And the writing tumble was when you did creative writing about a picture that the teachers put in. But I chose the writing tumble. I did not get all the pictures done but I did three and a half pictures. Something that was hard for me was when I looked at the last picture because I wanted to write if they were friends already or if they were enemy but I wrote them being enemies and then friends! Something that was easy for me was the rollercaoster ride one. Because the people looked like they were having heaps of fun but not the dad because he looked reall...

In my writing group (called the Da Vinci) we had to create a story about a superhero! But we had to do heaps of planning before we had to write the actual story. First we had to think about a setting for the story ( the background ). I chose a house and a forest. I can't really remember the rest but I know that we had to draw our superhero on a piece of paper. Something that was hard for me was  thinking about what the problem was going to be, because I had SO many problems that I was going to write for my superhero. Something that was easy for me was thinking about my superhero's personality. Because I really like art and I want my character to really like drawing and doing art just like me! 

Something exciting happened to Te Waka Ako yesterday... we got an invite from Waikowhai Intermediate to watch their production! It was really nice of them to invite us! But they didn't only invite us to their production. They invited heaps of schools near us! (I also saw my old friend there). At the beginning of the show I was really exited because the title of the production was called "This Is Me". There were all sorts of stuff they did on stage such as dancing, singing, talking and heaps more! My favourite part was when the students on stage were singing. They had really good voices. My other favourite thing there was when I saw all my old friends that used to be at Waikowhai Primary School. Something that was my favourite dance was the hip hop because they did all sorts of cool tricks! 

Yesterday Te Waka Ako had an update on our crossover! The teachers gave us a sheet that had the time, day and reading and writing groups. We were already in groups before the update so we had to highlight the group that we were in. If our group was not on today or on the time then we had to do a Literacy Tumble! A Literacy Tumble is when the teachers don't have to see my reading and writing group and work on a slideshow that our teachers made for us. They also made a red, blue and green background. The red background means that we MUST get this work finished by Friday. The blue background means that we SHOULD finish this work by Friday. The last background is green. The green background means that we COULD finish this work. Something that I thought was going to be hard for me was finishing my MUST because I really wanted to do technology instead of finishing my slideshow on Friday. Something that was easy for me was doing my SHOULD because there were heaps of cool stuff that I ...

In Year 6's cyber smart time we got to play a game that will teach you how to be cyber smart and make sure you do the right choices at the right time. When I played the game I needed to think what choices I had to make if this happened in real life. Something that was hard for me was doing the tower of treasure map, because I had to collect all the passwords and other stuff that included cyber smart and also I had to try and dodge the hackers. Something that was easy from me was making the right passwords at the castle. It was the same map but it was really easy at the end because I had to create passwords to save the kingdom and the hackers tried to wreck my passwords. We then had to make a DLO about it interland!   https://beinternetawesome.withgoogle.com/en/interland
