Maths Review

This year I have enjoyed doing maths with Mrs Taaffe with her amazing mathematical skills. I am in the Fozzies group with Brook, Kate, Alyson, Ashling, Georgia, Elizabeth, Alexa, Scarlett and me. During this year I have improved in my fractions, decimals, tree graphs and drawing 3-D shapes. I have enjoyed working and collaborating with my group mates because we can help each other and give each other advice, and I like having just girls in the Fozzies group plus this year I have achieved my goal that I set last year about learning my fractions.  and every thing about them.

iDrive Art

Today during iDrive I worked on my Impact mural. Impact is when there are many groups and you work in one group the whole year, I'm in the Outside Gallery group and in our group we work on one art project the whole year. This year we are are making four murals representing our syndicates. In our school we have four syndicates which are Moana, (the sea) Whenua, (the land) Whetu (the stars) and Marama (the moon). The mural I'm working on is Whetu. On the mural I'm working on is a big tree, the seven sisters, the moon, the words Whetu and the stars.

High Jump

This video is me practising high jump. I am trying to improve jumping over the bar and land on my feet. On athletics day I am hoping to land on my feet when I jump over the bar. 

Labour Day Holiday

Labour Day
Labour day is a special when every one who works gets a day off. Including schools, office's, café's etc. The word Labour day honers the struggle of an eight hour working day. New Zealand workers were the first in the world to claim the right when, in 1840 when Samuel Parnell won an eight hour day in Wellington. Labour day was first celebrated in New Zealand on 28 October 1890.

iDrive

Today at iDrive I used fun at carpentry. In carpentry I made a Jewellery rack and an iPhone six. To make the jewellery rack I got a piece of wood and sawed it to size. Next I hammered some nails into it for the hooks. Then I painted it with some bright colours.  

   
After I made my Jewellery rack I had ten to fifteen minutes left so I made myself an iPhone! To make the I phone I sawed it to size, sanded it then put vivid on it.

My Term 3 Reflection

This week for my blog I am going to be showing you a slide. Hope you enjoy!

Princess Diana

Princess Diana was born on July 1, 1961. She was the daughter of Edward John Spencer. Her parents divorced when Diana was young, and her father won custody of her and her siblings. She was educated at Riddlesworth Hall and then went to boarding school at West Heath School.

Although she was known for her shyness growing up, she did show an interest in music and dancing. Diana also had a great passion for children. After attending finishing school in Switzerland, she moved to London. She began working with children, eventually becoming a kindergarten teacher at the Young England School.

In 1980 she started dating Prince Charles. The press and the public were fascinated by this seemingly odd couple. The garden-loving prince and the shy princess with an interest in fashion and culture. When the couple married on July 29, 1981, the ceremony was broadcast on television around the world.

On June 21, 1982, Diana and Charles had their first child, Prince William then later on He was joined by a brother, Prince Henry later on she began to develop and follow her own interests. Diana served a strong supporter of many charities and worked to help the homeless, people living with HIV and AIDS and children in need. People then started calling her the people’s princess because she always helped the people in need.

Unfortunately, the fairy tale wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles did not lead to a happily-ever-after marriage. Later on the couple started getting problems so they decided to get a divorce. The couple's separation was announced in December 1992 by British Prime Minister who read a statement from the royal family to the House of Commons. The divorce was finalized in 1996.

Even after the divorce, Diana maintained a high level of popularity. She devoted herself to her sons and to such good efforts as the battle against the use of landmines. Diana used her international celebrity to help raise awareness about this issue.

After the divorce Diana went on a dating frenzy. When she was with a Egyptian film producer in Paris, the couple was involved in a car crash after trying to escape from the paparazzi on the night of August 30, 1997. She survived the crash but died later on in the hospital.

This week for iDrive I did roll play with my friends and together we came up with an idea to do a play of The Wizard of Oz. Paige was Dorothy, Ashling was was the Tin man and a munch kin ,Charlotte was the scarecrow, Anna-Louise was a munch kin and the lion, Scarlet was Glinda the good witch and the Wizard of Oz and I was the wicked witch of the west. (a.k.a Alfaba)

I used collaboration because I was with my friends, I used enthusiasm because we came up with some awesome ideas and I used confidence because it is very hard to do a loud cackle in front of everyone. (It is very embarrassing)

Busy Buzzy IDrive

Hello every one I am going to be talking to you about Idrive again. This week I did box modelling with my friends Ashling,Olivia,Paige and me. Together we had an idea to make out Teacher Miss B's house. First we made the Living room. In the living room we made a couch,t.v,table and berry's. Next we made Miss B's son's room in his room we made it a big mess with candy wrappers every where. Next we made Miss B's room witch we covered in books,books and book's. Next week at IDrive we are going to make more rooms and paint the house yellow.
(Sorry everyone this week I do not have pictures)

Funky Funny Idrive

Hello every one today I am going to be telling you about Idrive. We do Idrive every Thursday. Idrive is when we get to choose one thing to do out of the library,box models,music,blocks,creative playground,lucky dip,role play,cards,sole time,carpentry,play dough and the sand pit. Out of those I chose play dough because I love to mess around with it and you can shape it in any way. When I went to the play dough my friend Ashling was there so we made a doggy doo doo cake together. After that I made a brain sucking spider and a snail with a cane. In Idrive I used participation because I made a doggy doo doo cake with my friend Ashling.

     

                                                               

My lino Art

Hello everyone today I am going to be showing you the steps of my lino art. The first step was drawing out a plan that I was going to cut out. Once it was excepted by the teacher I copied of my paper on a big piece of paper. After that I covered the big piece of paper on the lino. When that was done we drew over the lines with a dark pencil then we took the big piece of paper off the lino and on the lino there was a light trace of what we drew then we went over the light lines. Next I got a lino cutter to cut out the lines it. When it was excepted by the teacher again I put on an apron and printed the lino. To print the lino I got to chose a bright colours to roll on the lino I had to be careful not to put two much or too less ink on the lino. Once that was done I put it face down on a piece of paper and there it was my first print. After I did this twice I had to cut out more of the lino to make different colours. Then by the end of the term I finished my lino print.

       

HOLIDAYS!!!!!!

In the holidays I went to my dad's house in Auckland. In Auckland my dad had some activities planned for us while we were there. But before we went to Auckland we went to Rotorua to my dad's girlfriends grandparents house. (To make this less confusing lets call my dad's girlfriend Lou Lou) As we were in Rotorua dad and Lou had planned to go to Zorb. Zorb is when we had to jump in a big ball and then the ball rolled down a large hill. At Zorb you got to choose if the ball had water inside or no water. Me and my brother chose to have water in the ball.

      

When we went back to Auckland we went to the Historic Museum with Lou Lou's niece. The historic museum is themed in the old day's, A few hundred years ago. At the historic museum there were some lolly's 50c each. After we went past that we found out that it was Alice in wonderland's one hundred and fifteen birthday. There were lots of activities to do with Alice in wonder land. (We even got to see the mad hatter)

The next day we went to Jump. Jump is an awesome place where every thing is just trampolines! (You can even bounce on the walls!!) At jump there is also a foam pit and a doge ball court. There is also a Tarzan swing that leads into the foam pit. 

After a few hours we went back to home then the next day we went back to Paeroa.

Look at all this old stuff

Chinese Goosebery becomes kiwi fruit

15 June 1959

Did you know that kiwi fruit is not native to New Zealand, They were brought over by Mary Isabel Frazer. She had been visiting schools in China. They were planted in China by a man called Allexzander Allison. The Chinese people thought it had a Gooseberry taste to it and that is why they called it the Chinese Gooseberry. Even though it was not related to Grossulariaceae a family of were Gooseberry belong.



                                      Gooseberry                    Kiwi Fruit  
                  
                                           

Inspirational quote

I chose this quote because it made me ask myself what are friends for. And then I said friends are the ones that help you when you fall,keep you in a good mood,share things with you and never keep secrets from you. And just then I realised without friends we are nothing.

Map Maker

                                           Map Maker
This Week for book club I chose to do Map Maker. Map Maker is when you can go on-line or on paper and make a map about the book you and your group is reading. 
      
                                        This is my Map Maker
On the Right hand side is the parking lot,The grey rectangle with the lines is the court, Those green puffy things are bushes, The Orange rectangle is the main room (It has lines because its the roof),The brown square the lines is were all the things are stored, Next to the court is the girls dorm and on the other side is the boys dorm.

New and improved learning space

On Thursday at school the teachers decided that they wanted to change our learning spaces around. They gave us a big peace of paper and asked us to do a plus minus and ideas. On the back we had to draw a floor plan in a group. My group was Ashling,Me,Charlotte,Ana-Louise,Paige and Amber. After we and every body else wrote there plus,minus and ideas the teacher asked us to hand it in and we could go off to lunch. While we were at lunch the teachers used our ideas and made one big floor plan of our class. They made the Quiet Zone the Hub and they made the Hub the quiet zone. I hope you enjoyed my blog!

Girl Underground

                                   Girl Underground
This week for book club we started a new book. The new book we are reading is called Girl Underground. The book we were reading before was called Boy overboard. Girl under ground is about this girl who moves to a new school. Her parents are thugs and they steel things. When she and her parents had a talk,said bye and things when she left a big cloud of gust came and a police car came she thought it was after her but it wasn't. A boy came out with to police men and walked into the school when she came in her room she felt like she didn't fit in. And that's all of chapter 1-2. For our tasks we had to make a Google drawing of a part in the story.

                            This is my Google drawing

         

Whetu Art

                                               Art
This week on Thursday we did our art. We got to choose a group 1 out of Four. There were clues to what art we were doing it was all the same but still different I know that sounds confusing but don't worry I'll tell you a little bit later on.The clue to the first group was an old favourite group from last year. The year six's knew what she meant but not the year fives. The clue to the second group was the islands and the pacific ocean. The third clue was last terms art. We all knew what that meant. And the the lucky last groups clue was happy in the winter. The group I chose was the happy in the winter group I choose was happy in the winter group I chose that group because I thought it was going be a happy snowman but it wasn't.
it was flowers. Our art group teacher (Mrs M) wanted the flowers to be not to pretty be cause we were doing lino. Lino is when you get a piece of line and cut it out with a special carving tool. You have to be careful because it might go through your finger. Seriously it already happened but a few years ago. But first we had to draw a picture.

                    

Atrocious ANZAC day

                         Ladies in the war of Gallipoli

When the War of Gallipoli was on there was only one official job for women. Their job was to be a nurse. Many women went to help in the war. About 550 came to help. To get the men back from the war to the hospital they had to travel by boat. Two of the boats were called Marama and Maheno some of the illnesses they had to deal with were Frostbite. Frostbite is when a part of your body gets really cold like your hands and to stop the Frostbite from reaching to your heart the had to chop of the part of you that has the Frostbite. Shell Shock was another illness. Shell shock causes Nightmares,when people cant sleep,tremble, or couldn't talk and get confused. Mustard gas. Mustard gas affects your breathing, gives you a Blistered throat and gives you burnt/swollen eyes.

                                    This is Mind Mup  
                              (I did not spell that wrong!)

I really hope you enjoyed my Blog and learnt a few things about                                       ladies in the Gallipoli war. 
                    

Boy Overboard

   

This week I had a book club meeting. Book club is this club that every one does because its on our must dos and its a part of our learning. In Book club we have a new task every week. This week I had Map Maker. Map Maker is when you make a map of the setting in your book. The things we need to include are People, Title, Compass and a scale. The book that my group is reading is Boy Overboard. I will give you a small part of information about him.
                                 
This is Jamal. He loves to play soccer but he has to do it in secret with his friends because the government hates soccer. He lives in Afghanistan with his family Bibi, Dad, Mum and himself. His parents have this little school at his house because the government banned that for no reason. One day his parents told him that the government somehow found out about the school. And when someone breaks the law they get killed. He and his family are now moving to the safest place they can find. Australia.

My Week

This week on Thursday we started this new flower art that's all about texture. First we chose some cardboard for the background. Next we chose some wallpaper out of this book the teacher let us use. Then we chose some things that we could use to paint over to make some texture like tinfoil, scrunched up paper and things like that. After that we chose our back round (I chose green). Then I made this beautiful aqua colour for detail to give it some wow.

On Wednesday I got this wonderful comment from my teacher that said I got a star! I didn't know what that meant so I went to check it and I only got one wrong. Next week my goal is to get all my questions right in my SRA.
