Intro 

On Friday 25th of october Rawhiti school had their annual school athletics. I think 

  • It was boring.
  • You use lots of energy and get tired.
  • You can go to zones and cantubury champs.

I am going to tell you about why I think that in the next 3 paragraphs.

 

 Reason one 

 

In my opinion athletics is boring because you have nothing to do all day. Once you’ve had your turn, all you can do is sit on the grass  pulling grass out of the ground. And unluckily, that day was very hot and sunny and that made it even worse! Also at the end of the day, if you’re not in the relays you have to sit there for an hour! At least there was shade there because of the fences. That is why I think athletics is boring. 

 

Reason two                                                                                                                                                        

 

In athletics because you are constantly running around you are using a lot of energy so you get tired really quick. We ended up missing our first break because of all the sport we had to do. We only got to eat food before we had to go back to doing sport again and since there are so many sports you get super duper tired.You get extra tired when you are doing middle distance because you are constantly running around using up all your energy. That is why I think athletics uses lots of energy.

 

Reason 3

 

If you’re good enough at athletics you get to zones. Zones are like a competition in your zone. If you can beat zones you get to go to canterbury champs! That is everyone in canterbury that got past zones in one big competition! I think there might be something else after that though. You can get awards from cantubury champs as well! 

 

Conclusion 

In conclusion, athletics is boring because you have nothing to do all day. You use lots of energy because you are constantly running and you can go to zones and canterbury champs if you are good enough.Thats why I dont look forward to doing athletics.

Vocabulary Mahi

Today we did a slide called  Vocabulary Mahi and we had to complete it. First we had to read a poem called River swimming. It is written by Lynley Edmeades and  it is about going to the river for a day. Next we had to describe what some sentences and words meant and Mote them. Then we had to do a kind of would you rather thing. You and a buddy  pick what you would rather do to see how many disagreements you had. Me and my buddy only had 1 disagreement! I don’t think anyone else got that. Finally we had a word and we had to pick which sentence it applied too. This slide was pretty fun. Here is the link to it. LINK

Bio poem

Today we started a bio poem. A bio poem is a  poem that describes  yourself, where you want to go, the things you like to do and your hopes for the future.

Here is the link to mine.

 

AFED squad

This week we have been doing AFED squad. It is a fun learning site where you learn Maori. There is a guy called Mana who came from the year 2070 to stop the Maori people getting hunted down by the wai corp in future. He teaches you how to speak Maori. The first lesson is about the Maori vowels and how to say them. You have to pick the right word that goes with the vowel. I think AFED squad is really fun.

 

 

 

Olympics

This week we have been learning about the Olympics. First we did a little bit of research about the Olympics. Next we picked 3 Olympic athletes because whoever picked the person who gets the most medals gets a prize! I picked Lisa Carrington, Aimee Fisher and Jo Aleh.  Then we researched them and wrote it down. I learned Lisa Carrington has 6 medals! That is what we have learned about the Olympics.

Jo Aleh↓                                                        777

Lisa Carrington                    Aimee Fisher

Science

This week we started a science block with each of the kaiako My favorite block was with Matua travis when we learned about newtons law which is gravity. First Matua Travis told us about newtons law. Then he told us he was going to drop 2 balls. They were a ping-pong ball and a basketball. We all guessed that the ping-pong ball would hit the ground first but we were amazed when they hit the ground at the same time! He told us that because they were both filled with air they hit the ground at the same time. Then we did an experiment when we had to try to get a ball to the other table using just a cup that was over it without using our hands. no-one got it because it was so hard. then we got a cup ,a card and a little hexagon thing each. We put the card on top of the cup and the hexagon thing on top of the card. Then each table stacked their cups and pulled the cards out. we were all trying to get the cups to go into a stack but it didn’t work. That is why I liked Matua Travis science experiment the most.

Movie Review – Kung Fu Panda 4

Kung Fu Panda 4 is about Po the Panda not wanting to give up his role as the Dragon Warrior. He sets out to prove that he can stay as the Dragon Warrior and still be the spiritual leader as well. Meanwhile an evil shapeshifting chameleon called ‘The Chameleon’ is blackmailing villagers for all their money and hatching a plan to become a Kung fu master. Po meets a fox called Zhen who he becomes friends with, but is everything as it seems? Can Po stop The Chameleon?

I rate this movie 9/10. It was funny and had a good storyline. I recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed the first three Kung fu panda movies.

 

Autumn music.

I created a piece of music using the chrome music lab Song Maker for a Children’s university challenge. The music had to remind you of Autumn. Click on the link to have a listen and comment if you like it. Do you think it sounds like Autumn?

Anzac biscuits

To commemorate Anzac Day I made Anzac biscuits. First we got all the ingredients. Secondly we followed the instructions. Lastly we put them in the oven and let them cook. At the end we had enough mixture that I got to make a giant Anzac biscuit. I think that they were very yummy. Here is the recipe if you want try it yourself. There is also some pictures of me making the biscuits. The photo with me holding the big biscuit is the gigantoat biscuit (get it ?)

 

 

Action stations/Code in action!

Today we did our Action stations again. Action stations is something when we signed up for something 2 weeks ago. I chose code in action! Code in action is  you using Minecraft hour of code to learn to code. Something I liked was that it was Minecraft and Minecraft is my favorite game. I love  Minecraft. something I didn’t like was that some of the code was really hard to understand. Something I didn’t understand was that I thought I did the code right but it didn’t work. Something I learnt was coding actually isn’t that simple. Here is a photo of me trying to work it out. That is why i like action stations.

This block is called when run. When run means when you start the game it does whatever is connected to it. For example, if I put move forward underneath it, when I run the game it will move my player forward. This block is called a function. A function is a block that you code and then all that code turns into 1 block.For example, If I coded the function to turn left, when I put that function into the code it will turn left.    This block is called move forward. It makes you move forward. For example, if you put it in the code it will make you move forward.

This is a photo of me coding in aquatic level.
