Talent queat

At Paihia School last week kids competed the talent quest. It started at 11.30 in the morning. We were the last team to perform, there were lots of amazing and talented people doing really cool things but I still think we were the best. When we finished we all come together to have a photo and we got told I won’t to tell you something by the best teacher in the world Mrs Williams. She whispered in our ears come see me after lunch. So then after lunch we went to see Mrs Williams to see if we were going to get anything but then she said go back to class I will come talk to you when the bell rings. We were so excited we couldn’t wait another second. We were hoping that we would get the Jimmy Jacks voucher but then we thought ( we can’t get that). But then when she walked in the door we saw voucher the and then we ran up to her and then she said here you go.

Sea cleaner

On Tuesday the 14th of March, at Paihia School we had very nice and amazing people visit us and talk to us about how What plastic do you drop? What types of plastic hurt marine animal ?s.the worst plastic for the animals, but no only for the animals but for the ocean to. I think I was good when it came to questions because I gave my questions away to my friend next to me but I didn’t put my hand up. I really enjoyed it when she played the video because I realised what we were doing to the ocean and how we can fix it. I think when I was giving my friend questions to ask I could of added more detailed questions. Blog you latter

Magic Show

On Wednesday the 27th of February, The year 1 to year 6’s walk over to the Whare to watch the magic show. Before you were aloud in we needed to pay 4$ to get in. When we got inside of Where we were all very excited we all wanted to see his shoes & costume because when we were inside the classroom also before we when over the teacher said that he has cool looking shoes and a nice cool costume. When we saw his costume it wasn't what we were really expecting but we still said it was cool. When it started he started with a plain classic poll a rabbit out of a hat, but the more tricks he did the more intreading they got. I learnt that you need to have lots of grains, vitamins, nutrients & veggies in your body go have a good day and a healthy body. What I think I did well was I didn’t get all mad and have a temper when I didn’t get picked to go up and do a trick with. I really enjoyed the magic show it was a lot of fun to watch all of his crazy but amazing tricks, it was sad when he had to leave. Next time I reckon I could put my hand up more and try be more confident to put my hand up.

Waitangi Treaty Grounds

On Thursday and Friday the year 6’s went up to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. On the first day it wasn’t that fun because the bus was meant to come at 10 past 9 but it came at 10:50. We learnt how to use different devices and new apps. We also learnt how to make a person in a waka on of the devices.. I think I did a good job with the little robots, V.R or virtual reality & the green screen. Next time I think I can try different designs and don’t use the someone over and over again. At the end of the day we did some staff around the 4 hoe but mainly we were working around whanaungatanga. Then on Monday the 18th, The year 6’s got to have another awesome day with Whaea Monika & Whaea Kerry. We were learning a lot about our identity like where we come from and how we got New Zealand. When we were in the Whare, we showed that by making a sculpture and putting it in a Waka and then we made the Waka look like it’s going to an Island. Something like how our ancestors got here, I enjoyed making a forest with virtual trees and I put a couple of birds in there, but then I also think that I could've added more things on my sculpture to make it more interesting.

Perform

On Tuesday the 2nd of April, an amazing band came to our school to perform and teached a group of 25 students to play 2-3 songs with the ukulele. I enjoyed it because I was one of the 25 students who got to perform with the band. They were called the Nukes and they played ukulele and the drums. One of the songs that they played was peas and carrots. We were lucky to have Russell School to join us. But there was one thing that I didn’t really like and that was we had to be crazy like Crazy Chickens. Well I did enjoy it but it was really weird but fun.

Maths DLO

In Te Ngahere we have been making maths DLO’s around multiplication problems with doubling and halving. In our math’s DLO’s we had to show how we worked it out, how it works, when you would use this strategy and what it is. What I think I did well was when I had to explain the strategy and how the strategy works. Another thing that I enjoyed and felt good was when I finished explaining the examples. Next time I think I should listen to the teacher when she tries to tell us to look on the success criteria and also when she tries to help me I should take her advice. Blog you later!
