What Has Happened Since Chapter 3-15

Today I will be talking to you about what has happened so far since Chapter 3. So do you remember back in chapter 3 the boy got something stuck in the tree and then "Freak" comes over and gets it down for him, because he is taller then the others.

After that they both ride in a wagon that they push together.

Thank you for reading please stay tuned for the ending review. BYE!!!!

PE-Soccer teaching⚽️

Kia Ora, Today I will be talking to you about how my sport went and taught my class how to play soccer.
In my group is Josh, Saia,  Loloma, Camryn, Shelbt, Vin, Raratonga and Me.

I think that my team did really well teaching a whole class how to play one sport. I think that we did really good because everyone was cooperating with everyone and we were all getting along.
For soccer my role was to sort everyone into there groups and making sure that everyone was good with the people in the group. My other role that everyone had was to lead the warm ups.
I think that something that we could change next time is timing because 1 of the teams only got 5minutes to play were the first team got like 30 minutes.
1 thing that I learnt was how to control the ball and the second things was how to kick the ball on my foot.

Thank you for reading my blog post, BYE!!!!!

Freak the Mighty👍😄

Kia Ora, today I will be talking to you about what I have been doing for my reading at school this term. The book that I have been reading is Freak the Mighty.

It's a book about a boy that was really small in preschool and then he grows up taller and helps out his new neighbour/friend at school.

If you read the back of the book, it looks like someone is getting for not being as smart as others and being the same size and them as he is taller then everyone else at his school.

The first thing that my group saw was the Reptiles. In were they are there was about 6 different types of reptiles.

The next thing we went and saw was the Keas. When we went in it was so scary because the Keas like shiny stuff and I was wearing earrings. After we saw the Keas we went and saw the lions. The lions were so cute because to of them were hugging each other.

After that we we ant and saw the Tazmanian Devils.We didn't really see them because they were sleeping. So our teacher that was teaching the group told us about them.

Period 2

Today for CIP I will be talking to you about what I did 2nd  period today.

Period 2
For 2nd period I did Kapa Haka, I like to do Kapa Haka because it is a great opportunity for me to share my culture and to get used to preforming in front of people. For Kapa Haka my group for the singing part is a leader. The leader in Kapa Haka is the biggest group in Kapa Haka, we have to sing in the highest pitch and then in our normal voices after that.

In Kapa Haka there is 2 other groups. There is a group of just girls that sing in high voices and then there is another group and it is just boys and they have to do a low note that mostly boys can do.

Today for Gym Sports we had a Beep Test and we also played Dodgeball. For the Beep Test we could go in teams or we could go individual. I was in a team with Evelyn my friend that comes to Gym Sports with me. My score for the Beep Test was 10.0. After the last person had finished there run we had started Dodgeball.

Art-Manaakitanga

For Hurumanu this term we have been looking at Art. In art we have been making stop motions. This is our last lesson because on Thursday we only have school for 3 periods. Anyway, for Art my group (Bryce, Shane, Alex and I) made a clay animation. Our clay animation is about someone getting bullied and then someone comes in and solves the problem.

Here is my Learning story:

The first thing we did is we drew pictures in different angles. We did this because we needed to know what the angles were called because we need to use different angles in our stop motions.The second thing we did was we made a storyboard about something. My group (Shane, Bryce, Alex and I) made one about kindness. We made one person get bullied and then someone else came in and helped the situation.

I learned how to draw things quickly without being so neat, because your drawings don’t have to be as neat as you want them to be. How to work with a group of people that I don’t know that well and that I hangout with that much. I also learnt different types of angles you can use in an animation.



I really enjoyed working with new people and making claymations. I also really enjoyed when the whole group help and got it done. I loved this experience because I learned how to draw properly.

One thing that I found difficult was when I didn’t really understand what I was doing and when half of my team wasn’t there. It made it difficult when my team wasn’t there because we needed everyone's help and because it is better to work in a group of people.

What Shoe Am I? 👟👟👟

Today fro Community time J1, J2 and J3 have been looking t a video that we have to do about a pair of shoes. We have to do story about what shoes do while we are gone.  But we have to do it in the shoes perspective. Here is my writing:...

It was a bright and sunny day that my caretaker decided to go for a fun  30-60 minute walk.

Hello, my name is Lexi and I am a pair of sport shoes and I will be telling you about what I do during the day like, what I play with, what I am scared of.

During the day I like to play with my soccer ball. With my soccer I go out side and kick it around and sometime I accidentally kick it into my neighbours fences and then the start to freak out because they know that no one is home, I think that it is a little bit funny.😁

One of the main things I am scared of Is the dog (Max) sometimes my caretakers leave the dog at home to sleep. But when he wakes up that when I get scared because recently one of my dear friends got chewed up, it was sad but now I have more and more friends. So now I don't really notice that he is gone.

Some of the things I like to eat is liquorice because my rubber part (the grips at the bottom) get more and more stronger so I can play sports for at least 5-6 years before I wear out. 

Sometimes when I am bored of playing sports I like to make music it is one of my hobbies. one of the types of music I like to make is squeak hop. squeak hop is where you scrap your feet along the ground until you get a squeaking noise.

One thing that I definitely don't want to do is go onto social media because my caretakers dont go on it so why should I.

That's all from me now, Lexi OUT!
Here is the video and a photo of a shoe I am talking about:..

My Adjustment

Kia Ora and welcome back to my blog. Today I am publishing some thing to involve my reading. I am reading a book about a girl that has to adjust to something that she doesn't want to but in the end she is really happy that she is there. The story that my group is reading is How To Fall. Another thing that we had to do was make a paragraph about what was something we had to adjust to,
Here is my paragraph:...

Question:...

Write a paragraph about when you had to make a big adjustment, How did you feel? Why?

One time that I had to make a big adjustment was coming to Hornby High School. It was a big adjustment because I was at a new School and I new some people but I only new 2 or 3 people in my class, until I made more friends. I adjusted to school about 1 week after I started because I had friends to help me. One of the hardest thing I couldn’t adjust to was my new teacher because I didn’t know if she was going to be nice or if she was going to be mean. But the next two weeks I did start adjusting to that and my teacher is the best.

Roller Derby

Roller Derby is a sport that is played in mostly the Uninitiated States Of America. Roller Derby is a really ruff game to play. A game of roller derby can cause you to get lots of injury's. You can brake a bone in you body, you could even hurt yourself that but you might be able to play anything again. It dependent on what Grade you play in our how ruff you want to be.   

My Reading group had to read a story about a girl named Maia that had to move houses but she din't like moving until her Aunty (Emz) told her to come to training with her. 

My group had to make a DLO about roller Derby and how to play it.
Here is my DLO:...



Here is also a video on how to play:...

Maia New House

For reading my group (Blue Group) we have been reading this book about a girl that has to move houses and she doesn't like it but she finally finds something that she wants to do. We had Questions for the story that was about how Maia felt and if she found anything hard. 

Here are the 3 Questions:..

Question 1:
Maia is proud  of Aunty Emz. How do you know?
Maia is proud of Aunty Emz because Aunty Emz is one of the jammers that scores points as they go past the other people. 

Question 2:
How do you think Maia feels about moving?
I think that Maia feels really sad and depressed because in the story it says that "me and your dad get to chose what happens not you, so deal with it". But since her Aunty mad her join Roller Derby she likes where she lives know just doesn't want to admit to her mum that Maia is wrong about living there.

Question 3:
Does Maia find Roller Derby hard?
At the start she finds it hard when here Aunty comes over and takes her there. But when she got used to it she found that she liked it and she wanted to continue and then she got better at it and now it is easy for her.

This term for Hurumanu my class has been doing Music for one of our modules this term.  For music this term we are learning how to make our own piece of music. At the start of the term we had to make a sound of music in a circle.  Everyone in the circle had to make a sound that they wanted. In the end of it we had another go but with more people.

The second time we did it there was more people and got to noise. So there was one group that if they wanted to play with there hands your body parts to make noise went outside. The other group stayed inside as they were the ones that wanted to make noise with there mouth.

Another one of the activities that we did was when we had to try guess the instruments that were shown on the board, I really enjoyed guessing what they were.
 
Another activity that I enjoyed doing is when we had wrote down a solo artist and a band. The solo and band artist had to be from New Zealand, so my solo artist was Stan Walker. I chose him because he is a good singer and one of my favourites. My band was Six60 because again they are one of my favourites they are good at singing.

My goal for Hurumanu was to make sure that I talk to people in my group and make sure that I include myself in what they are doing.

Something that was really challenging for me was when we had to make our own song, because it we had to think about what was going to fit into the song and set a theme from the sound to our song.

I Am Grateful For:...

Today at CIP for the second activity we had to make a poster on our chrome books or device about what we are grateful for.

The main thing was about Gratitude. We could either do it on a Piktochart or a Google Drawing. I decided to do a Google Drawing. The meaning of Gratitude is the quality of being thankful and to show appreciation for and to return kindness. Early on we did a blog post about a story that was about Gratitude.

Giving And Receiving

Kia Ora and welcome back to my blog. Today in CIP we the whole group for CIP watched a video called Ripped.

Ripped is a video were there was a man that was in a queue when this little boy wanted a cake for his Birthday but his mum could not afford it. So the man in the queue bought the cake for the little boy because it was his Birthday. After the man had brought the cake he gave it to the boy. The mum pulled out a note for his number so that they could pay him back. He grabbed hes pen and wrote on the note, "A simple act of caring creates a endless ripple, that comes back to you'.  The man walked away and the boy never got to say Thank You.


In the story there is a similar part where this little girl really wanted to get a cake for her Grandpa as it was his Birthday. She walked over to the stand of cakes and then this other man came over and grabbed the one that she wanted. Once he grabbed it he looked at her. He gave her the cake and she walked away. When the little girl and were family walked up to the cashier it came to a total that they couldn't afford.So the man that gave her the cake saw that they couldn't buy it so the man it.

The man the yells "Hey this is for you". But the could not accept it the man said "Please accept it please." The man gives it to the little girl. The Grandma grabs a piece of paper for the number, And as the wrote on the note "A simple act of caring creates a endless ripple, that comes back to you". When they got home they put candles on the cake and the little girl gave the Grandpa the note the Grandpa opened the note. He saw that the little boy he bought the cake for had done the same for him without knowing it.

That is the story that we have heard what do you think about it from what I have wrote. Please give me feed back on my story cover and dont forget to leave a comment, BYE
