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.

Orana Wildlife Park 🦃🦁🐯🐵🐍

Kia Ora and welcome, today I will be talking to you about what 2 classes from my school did.
On Monday the 23rd of September Tz and Bh went to Orana Wildlife Park.

The trip started at 8:45 so everyone had to come to school at the right time we norally do. When we got there we split up into to groups. There were two groups, Group 1 and Group 2. I was in group 2. 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.

Gym Sports

For Wednesday this week we did Gym Sports as one of our passions. I am in Gym Sports because I wanted to play sports and have fun. Here is what we did today:...

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.

The first round we did the winner was the team that had Mr Mitchell as there dean and the other team lost. These second team that we played girls could only go for girls and boys could only go for boys. For the second game I stayed in ford ages but then I got hit and the other team won.

After we had all finished having games of Dodgeball we went to go get change and went back to our classes we needed to go to.

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.
