Turbo Touch

Today in Te Ngahere we were playing turbo touch and we just got told that the group that I am in is in first place. If you don’t know what I mean we started a turbo touch competition just with our school and my team is winning. We have been learning how to play it properly. I love turbo touch, it is so much fun and I just want to keep playing the game. When you play the game all you needed is 12 people, a ruby ball and some cones. If you are someone like me you just like the game. If you ever play turbo touch then I hope you are good at it and you love it too. Bye!

New Classroom

Today in Te Ngahere we walked up into the bush nearby our school to see what we could find to make our classroom look more like a forest. We were seeing what was there was and the texture of it. We were learning to find something in the bush, feel the texture and to be able to come back to school and make something we saw using reusable materials for example to make birds out of plastic bottles. It is a lot of fun doing this, I really enjoy it because I love art and it is something enjoyable for the whole class to do. In the bush I was having so much fun, there was nothing I didn’t enjoy. When we were there we saw birds, fish, plants and insects. Bye!

Technology

Yesterday we went to technology and we were trying to make a necklace and bracelets. I learnt that when using the skill saw and cutting diagonal to move your hand around slowly and you must wear gloves. I really enjoyed technology because we got to use skill saws and a seper. There was nothing I didn’t enjoy there. I learnt that when you use a skill saw you don’t use big gloves and to try get the smaller ones. I think next time I can try to finish my work faster so I can get more done, I can’t wait to go back to technology to finish off my work and to make and learn more. Bye!

Newspaper Challenge

Last week in Te Ngahere we did a Newspaper Challenge. if you don't know what a news paper challenge is, it’s when you get two sheets of newspaper and 30 cm metres of tape to make a free standing Newspaper tower. When we were doing this activity I learnt that when you make something like this you need to do teamwork because you will find it will help you a lot. I think that we did a good job until we added more newspaper on top of our base. It was easy to make the tower because we worked well with each other and helped one another. Next time we do this I think I could try make the base more stable on the next tower. I hope we get to do this again ,and if you try this, good luck. Bye

Blogging

This week we have been doing blogging and I am nearly up to date with my blogging. I learnt that you have to check the success criteria because before showing a teacher or a buddy. I really enjoy doing blogging it is a lot of fun and it helps me a lot when I do my writing, I have so much fun there is nothing I don’t enjoy. I think I need to start working on checking the success criteria more often and making sure I follow it. I can’t wait to do blogging next week. Thanks for reading my blog post. Bye!

Technology

Last week on Wednesday we went to Technology. If you don't know what technology is when year sevens or year eights go to Moerewa for the day to learn how to cook or learn how to use tools, and all of the tool names. When I went to technology I learnt how to make a Maui hook out of wood using a jigsaw and a plane. I really enjoyed myself when I went to technology because we got to spend a whole day making things and learning our way around a workshop. I can't wait to go back to technology next week because it as a lot of fun there was nothing I didn't enjoy doing. When you go to technology I hope you have fun.
