Dance Certificate

Today after morning tea, we went to dance practice for our fitness. Our coaches name was Izzy, she taught us cool, hard and new dancing moves. First when we arrived we had no time to warm up, so that meant that we had to get straight onto hip hop dancing. The first move she taught us was to put our arms down, look up, get and then while we were down we had dab our way up! Then we had to hold our whilst and then jump twice like superman, from that point we had to stamp twice then from here we continued to go. 

Well at the end we received a certificate for participating in dancing.

Today I got a lower score than yesterday, yesterday I got ninety percent on the same stage. To achieve all my goals and move up to another stage I will do my homework with my mum or brother if they want. Instead of playing fortnite I will work one hour doing maths. 

Maori Performances

Last week 24 November our school, maybe class went down to Reportaka to perform a haka, only Tama, La' shae, Naztazia and Moko went to perform and just Brian or somebody else supported them.

Kapahaka

Last week Saturday, some children from our class went to perform a kapa haka on stage at Repotaka marai. Only 5 children from our class went to watch and only 4 of the students in our class Participated. Even Brian went to watch but ended up getting called up to go on stage to do the haka!

3 Sticks

Today we went out on the court to play 3 sticks with our friends, the people I played with was Sosaia and Brian. To win we had to jump in between the sticks to the next side, there are 3 sticks to pass through in order to win, also when the last person runs that's when its time to move the stick to where the tip of the foot has stepped. Then keep continuing till you eventually fail.

Etching

Last week we created our own etching art which was new to us. First our teacher explained what we had to do, then we got straight on to painting our paper into shapes, on mine I split the paper into 3 pieces so that I could have space to draw. For the colours I painted it purple on the moon side and green for the morning but in the right corner I painted it orange to show that it was mid day. To draw we used an ice cream stick but to actually draw we had to repaint it with different colours and then we could draw.  I found this art frustrating but it was still quite nice to do.

Food art on a Plate

Today, my class and I made our own food art on a plate, first we drew our food on paper and then when we finished we moved straight onto making our food art with coloured playdough. It took us about 15 minutes each to make the objects and then straighten it out and put details on it. The art was so satisfying when I put it out and place it on the plate that I kept fiddling with it.

Hip hop Dance Lesson 2

Today this morning, we went to our hip hop dance lesson 2 practice. I had a joyful time dancing and running around the hall.

First, when we started dancing, we had to warm up our body so that we wouldn't faint or fall down. We first started by moving around and shaking our legs and arms, then we turned our neck left and right. The hip hop teacher's name was Izzy, she also showed us some new moves.

The fun bit of the hip hop practice was when we ran around the hall, also we had to keep switching leaders so that we couldn't get tired and stop. We all learned a new game that was fun, it was called rock paper scissors but in a dancing way. We had to walk up to the team and then we had to choose rock, paper or scissors pose to defeat the other team.

When we were about to head to class, she taught us hand moves like doing squares and other amazing patterns that the other classes already learned. As she taught us through to her moves, I could see many people struggling like me.

When we left the hall I had a very great time.

Basic Facts T4W1

Today I did my first basic facts assessment for term 4. I have remained the same because I never learned anything in my holidays. To get better I will do homework at home for an hour with my mum, I am sure that my mum will be very disappointed in me because she wants me to do good in all my results. I would want to be at the curriculum level for my age, I want to get up to stage 6.

The food festival

Last week,  we celebrated my mums fantastic birthday at fortuna eating delicious food.

First, my mum told us that her birthday was next week so my dad planned that we would go to fortuna to celebrate her birthday. Then the next after we dressed up nice and was ready to drive away to fortuna. When we got there, we saw an elevator, so we parked our car nearby and walked into the elevator and was on our way up. As we reached the top floor we took photos of us then continued to walk to fortuna.

Next, when we walked in, I could aroma the delicious food. From there my mum paid for an hour for us to enjoy the food, my two brothers got seafood and I had to go and grab me my chicken drumsticks from the big pot. Next after we ate dessert and my mum got a surprising birthday muffin with a candle that she blew off and ate. After that we ordered three glasses of coke to drink.

Then, we only had several minutes left of time to eat so me and my brother grabbed us some sushi from the counter, eventually we all got full, by the end of time I thought that the food was brilliant and I think that it is the best eating place.

The dessert was definitely my highlights when I tasted it. I also thought that the smell of the food were brilliant. The dessert tastes more like chocolate fudge with melted chocolate chips inside.

How to Compost in the Winter

This term my group with Sosaia made this project. Our inquiry in investigation questions was *how to compost in the winter* First, we used the internet to research our topic. Then we constructed this project. I helped by going outside and grabbing leaves that would go inside our bucket. We used paper, crayons, tape, pencil to draw and also a big cardboard box to make our project.

Finding the leaves were probably the easiest thing to do.

The research of composting helped me a lot with my project.

I would like to know how much of our waste could be composted.

I was playing a game of matching improper fractions with mixed numbers and pictures.  I had matched 1 1/4, but the picture that I had was wrong, I also had 1 whole with 6/6. This game was confusing for me because I didn't have a great understanding of it. Next , I would like to learn how to learn and get a good understanding of it.

First Mr Nidoo grabbed two buckets, one with holes and one with no holes. He said that you had to put the holey bucket on the bottom, then he grabbed food scraps and threw it in the bucket. After he just grabbed a handful of bokashi mix and threw it in the bucket, he told us that this mix will take the smell away.  After that he told us, this is how simple it is to make a compost bin.

Today, Adele from the heart foundation came to our class to teach us how to stay healthy and fit. First she taught us how big or small our hearts were and also showed us the food groups. Adele taught us stuff like new words and what we had in our favourite cereals.

The first thing Adele taught us was about different food groups, she then told how much percent of sugar and salt were stored in all kinds of food. Moving on, Adele spoke about what the different food kinds of food that could fill your stomach up, what could clean your stomach and what could get you ready for sports.

Thereafter, Adele then gave one cereal card between two students. On the cards its had information about how healthy it really was and also if it was good eat for breakfast. Finally she wrote on the board how much stuff were in the cereals like how much fiber, sugar, sodium and energy where in the cereal.

Lastly, we were given a packet full of cards that had these drinks on it.

Thereafter we move to our last activity, Adele had to call out all the months, at each month she called out, student would put their hand up and move to the students desk with the same month. The activity was cool how we got to put all the drinks in order like from less sugar to more sugar drinks.

At the end of this session, Adele had leave because she had to be somewhere else, Lastly we then carried on with our own work.

Matariki Artwork Van Gogh

Our art that we've created is based on Matariki, this art was named Starry Starry Night copied after Van Gogh's artwork. We decided that we wanted this artwork because Matariki was coming up soon, so we thought we'd draw this one and also it looked easy for us to draw and paint it.
