Cooking Reflection

 This week I joined the cooking group.

On the first day, we learned about what not to do in the kitchen and what type of ingredients we will be bringing.   

On the second day, we started to prepare all of our vegetables and after that, we got to do a word search all about carbohydrates and proteins   

On the third day, we started the cooking prosses in the morning because it takes a long time to cook after that it was lunchtime and we got to eat it! ( It was yum! ) 

The part that I liked the most was eating it because it tasted really good and you could really taste all of the flavours!

Investigation Mahi pt 2

Today I have compleated my Investigation Mahi challenge, it was all about rotating shapes. I found that this challenge was really fun because I really like geometry! I find that Studyladder is really helpful because there are lots of tasks about geometry. I think that this task was a bit easy but still really fun to do just to recharge my brain. I'm really happy that within the squares its grided and that really helped in my opinion. Overall I'm really happy with what I have compleated because I think that I've put a lot on effort into it!

    

Famous Hero

Today I have compleated my Famous person writing, my famous person was Anna Paquin. I really enjoyed learning about Anna because she is really cool and really interesting! We all had to make three paragraphs, the first one was about the person and family, the second paragraph was about all of their successes and the last one was about why we chose this person and some iconic things they do or say. I don't know if I like the presentation that much because when I was doing it my mind went really blank. Overall I rate my work a Supernova because I'm pretty happy with what I have written and what I have achieved!    

Whetu Workshops Reflection

 Whetū Workshops Reflection

During Term 2 and 3 the Whetū students have had the opportunity to be involved in a range of different workshops.

The 2 workshops that I have enjoyed participating in the most has been the anagrams one because I really enjoyed learning about different challenges that I can do! The other workshop that I have really enjoyed has been the drama one because it made me step out of my comfort zone and I ended up loving it!       

The new learning that I have learnt is what happens if you add vinegar to warm milk there will be an instant reaction and the milk will curdle because of chemical reactions.

What I have most enjoyed about the workshops is the fact that we get very different options to choose from so we can try things that we don’t usually do like what did with drama! 

I am interested in learning more about making pom pom creations because last time lots of people failed with making them because we only had one day to create them, but now we have three days to make them if we did them again then they would turn out great!

Investigation Mahi

Today I have compleated my investigation Mahi challenge, it was all about clockwise and anticlockwise. I had to cut out shapes and rotate them in different types of clockwise angles, like quarter clockwise and half clockwise. I found this challenge really easy because I already knew all about clockwise and anticlockwise things so I finished this task really fast, but it was fun anyway! Overall I'm really happy with the outcome of my work because I think that I have put a lot of effort into it and I think that they are all correct, so that's why I rate my work a Supernova! 

Pop Art

Today I have compleated my Pop Art, Pop Art is a really bold type of art. I have decided to go with fizzy drink logos, I ended up with Fanta and Sprite I chose them because they look easy but bold! I'm really happy with what I have done especially the Fanta side of the art because I think that the colour really bonded with each other! Overall I'm really happy with the outcome of my art because I think that the colours really pop and my logos look almost the same.

Inquiry Brochure

Today I have compleated my inquiry brochure, the inquiry was about the question should animals be kept in zoos? After looking at lots of pros and cons about the topic I came to the conclusion that animals should be kept in zoos because they have things like breeding programs for endangered animals and stuff like that. I decided to make a brochure to show why zoos are good, I chose a brochure because I find them really helpful when I go to places like zoos or any other theme parks! On the front of my brochure I wrote zoos are awesome in bold lettering to show that it was what the topic that we are talking about and on the inside I wrote lots of cool facts about zoos and lots of information. Overall I am really happy with the outcome of my brochure because I think that I have put a lot of time and effort to it to make a supernova! 

   

Literacy Mystery

Today I have compleated the Literacy Mystery challenge, it was titled Who stole Mr McGregor's carrots. I found this challenge really fun for me because I  am learning while solving a mystery and that's really fun! But I also found this mystery really easy for me because I straight away knew all of the answers. I think that the carrot thief is... Mrs Rabbit because she was the name that fit all of my clues! Overall I am really happy with my effort and time that I have put into this challenge so that's why I rate it a Supernova! 

Investigation Mahi

 Today I have finished my Investigation Mahi challenge, it was all about enlargement. I was really excited to do this challenge because it looked really fun and challenging to do! We each had to get an easy and a harder sheet. For the easy one, I chose the star shape and for the harder one, I chose a bumblebee because it looked really challenging. I found the bee enlargement quite hard because it had all of these little details that you had to get in the perfect place but in the end, I managed to get them nearly exactly the same so I'm really happy about that! Overall I had a few bumps along the track but either way, I am really happy with what I have managed to do so that's why I rate my work a supernova!  

Cross Country Reflection

 Cross Country Reflection 2020

This year I participated in the NPS Cross Country held at school on the Ngatea Domain.  I ran in the 10-year-old age group.

I am most proud of coming 6th because it’s 4 places better than last year, and that means that I get to go to HP Cross Country which is a really great achievement! 

I think my effort towards our training at school was really good because I always pushed really hard to get where I wanted to get to. And I think that all of the training that I have done has really paid off!

I showed the Learning Power of Resilience by always trying my hardest and always pushing to be better than yesterday!  

Chapter Chat

Today I have compleated my Chapter Chat task, I made a freak-o-meter. We have started to read a new book called Wink it is all about a kid named Ross who has just found out that he has eye cancer. There was a freak-o-meter mentioned in the book so that's why it's one of the Chapter Chat tasks. I got my inspiration from those signs that you see usually saying '' Chance of a fire today '' because I think that it will look really good with all of the bright colours! I thought that the arrow that I made was really cool because Ms Mac helped me with this thing that made the arrow spin ( I think that it looks really cool ). Overall I rate my work a Supernova because I tried my best to really make my work amazing!

 

Investigation Mahi

Today I have compleated the Investigation Mahi challenge, it was all about nets. We all had to choose two nets and cut them out after that, we folded along the dotted lines and glued in the flaps to create a 3d shape. I choose a Hexagonal prism and a Dodecahedron because they looked like they would be a challenge for me! Before I made my shapes I watched a video that's all about nets then I filled in a worksheet matching shapes with there nets. Overall I rate my work a Supernova because I feel like I have put a lot of effort into my work ( and it was really fun )!

Whetu Challenge

Today my Learning constellation group had to work together in the Cartoon show challenge. We had to choose a cartoon and make a scene encluding all of the charters. We chose The Simpsons because we all think they look really fun to try and draw! I ended up drawing Marge because I thought that it will be a challenge and I really challenge!  Most of our group ended up compleating their charter but 2 people. 

I think that my group worked pretty well together because we had some experts that know a lot about how google drawing works and then they shared that with the people that know a bit less about google drawings! Just to be fun our group put a picture of Kermit ( that is our learning constellation group ) on a frame and put it in a wall in there house. I think that the best google drawing was the Wine Gums because I think that they have put lots and lots of detail into there work but I really like Homer! Overall I think that our groups end slide looks really cool with all of the detail so that's why rate our work a Supernova! 

World famous in New Zealand

Today I have filled in my world-famous in New Zealand information sheet, I chose Anna Paquin as my inspiration so my whole sheet was all about her.  The reason I chose Anna Paquin was that I have watched nearly every X-man movie and I didn't really know much about her! I had heaps and heaps of fun learning about her so now I think that I am ready for the next stage of my learning! Overall I rate my work a Supernova effort because I went through lot's of work to get to know more about her! 

Investigation Mahi

Today I have compleated the Investigation Mahi challenge, we learned all about the line of symmetry. We had to get two pieces of paper each were split in half or in quarters. I chose the flower pattern which was split into quarters and the castle pattern which was split in half, I chose these patterns because they looked like they were going to be a challenge. Once I finished them I went over them with a sharpie to make them look a bit bolder! Overall I am really happy with what I have done so that's why I rate my work a Supernova!!
