HHV Picture Story

This week we went to the howick historical village.

First we got into our groups. My group was group 2. My adult helper was miss Tele’a.

Next my group went to make these trolly skateboards on the other side of the village. There we made, raced & broke trolly skatboard.

Then we went over to the other side of the village again to make butter. We had to churn cream heaps of times to make the butter and it was yum.

After that did a self guided tour. on the tour we went to houses, toilets, shops and a manor that was massive. That would be my house if I lived back then.

Gravity

This week for Inqury my class are learning about gravity. My table were tasked with answering the question: Why do you feel heavier on Earth than you would on the Moon.

Our answers were:

Blake: You feel lighter on the moon because the moon is smaller and if an object is small the the gravitational pull will be less powerful.

Kendric: because on the moon there is zero gravity but on earth there is gravity. 

Kaleb: Because moon is smaller it has a smaller gravitational pull than the earth because if something is smaller then it will have less of a gravitational pull

Jeremiah:You Weigh six times less on the moon because the moon has a gravitational pull of cause earth’s moon has less mass than earth has.

Roman: Because on the moon the gravitational force is different because the moon doesn’t have anything to do with the atmosphere. 

Donyal: The moon is smaller than the earth because the moon is weaker because the gravity pulls you.

The Landing at Gallipoli

This week for writing I learnt more about the ANZACs. I made a diary entry about what I would think a ANZAC soldier would have to face.

Here is what I thiught:

Date : 25, April 1915

Dear Diary, We just landed at Gallipoli and got the word from Corporal to jump out of the ship. As we ran to shore, I could see bullets flying past me as I rushed to stay alive. As I ran, salt water got in my eye so I couldn’t see. The startle of the water kept me on edge when suddenly I got shot in the shoulder.

A group of the higher ups were beginning to fire back as they hid behind rocks. I was scared to the bone as I saw more of my fellow soldiers getting killed. But I pushed myself to carry on.

I saw my friend who was with me in the training camp get shot 3 times. That’s when the reality of war struck me. The people that weren’t killed were making trenches and I joined them in the trench to stay there for the night.

Making Boba Tea

This week my class for national bubble tea day created our own flavours of bubble tea.

First we added our slide and created the cup.

Next we would make the name and finish making the design for example if my name was orange boba I wouldn’t make the design purple and blue.

after that you labble it and add the price tag for a reasonable price.

Fianaly I  added the ingredients that include popping boba, Fruit and The boba Pearls.

 

The Trip to Nana and Grandad

This week in the school holidays I went up north to my nana and grandad’s house. They live in a small town called Rawene in the Hokihanga.

First we packed the things we would need like clothes, food for the road & good vibes.

Next we hit the road and got ready for a six hour trip in the car.

After a few hours on the road I threw up because I get car sick when I am in a car for 3 hours.

Then we stopped to get food I had a toasted croissant with cheese, tomatoes and spinach. I also had one and a half kababs.

Once we made it to our grandparents house it was already about four o’clock and we were pretty hungry so my Nana had cooked us roast pork with roast veggies and curied veggies. She also made kutai and raw fish.

The next morning me and my brother played some video game. Then we took the car ferry to KuhoKuho because my dad found out that James Fisher-Harris is from there and if you don’t know he is transfering to the wahs (NRL) next year.

We found out that a cat was the mayor of this town this is how he became mayor:

He started off living with the post man who lived in the post office they lived together until one day the mail man died and left patches. But now he is the iconic cat because everyone feeds him and looks after him so if you go to kohu kohu bring cat treats.

After Kohkohu we went back to our grandparents where we waited for our Great Uncle and aunty.  We had a talk with them, and then they left.  Then we had fish and chips for dinner and we watched Back to the Fututure II before bed.

On Monday morning my brother, my mum and I went for a walk to get my Grandad some more candies, as he loves candies.  After this we said good bye and made our trip back home.  On the way home we stopped at a Thai restaurant where we had fish cakes, spring rolls, fried rice and croissants, it was delicious!  Finally we did anouther six hour drive home.

 

Emoji and Image Tool

Today in cybersmart I learnt how to use the image and gif tool using the camera from chrome. I used these instructions to help me.

Use the Grid in your camera to position yourself at one of the points of the 3X3 grid. This uses the Rule of Thirds and makes an image more interesting to look at.  Find some learning in your classroom to show in the background. Make sure this is also in another third of your screen.  Think about the lighting and angles.

Choose one of the emoji on the next slides.

ANZAC Day

This week I learnt about ANZAC day and why it is inportant.

ANZAC day is important because it is the time where we all come together and reflect on the people who died to protect and serve our countries. The way I celebrate anzac is that my family and I go out on a one day holiday to either go for a walk or stay at home and do nothing. On anzac day Kendric makes and eats anzac cookies to be honest I do the same. But I think that ANZAC day is most important so we can reflect on the people that died to serve our country. But at the end of the day it is there so we can all remember everyone that has died.

 

Our School trip

One time our school, went up mount Maunganui.

First we got ready to leave and once we were all ready we hoped on a bus and left school.Next we got to the skate park which was right next to the mountain, we had to park there because there was no parking spots by the mountain.Then we went inside the gates of the mountain and started our walk. Like three minutes on our walk up we looked out at the view and named where suburbs around East Tamaki.After we made it to the top of the mountain we all had a quick break to look at the awesome view.Finally we went to the highest point of Maungarei and listened to a guy talk about the mountains history
I enjoyed this experience because a got to walk up a mountain with my friends
