We are learning to learn how to use a touch pad

In the morning at 9.00  Mrs Grant showed us how to use a touchpad  properly and to do shortcuts on a keyboard   or a chromebook.  Then she did some slides for us to do and there was one for the years 4  and one for the year 5   but  Mrs Grant said some of the year 5’s can do the Year 4’s task too. So me and Tuakalau picked the first one. Then we needed to write a blog about our learning. And I can’t wait for Mrs Grant to come again. Here is a picture of the slide that me and Tuakalau  did:

Preparing for athletics day

After morning room 6 and I  were going to play with coach Bart. First we had to run fast and we could run anywhere we liked to run.  After that we were warmed up and then we could play a game called sheepdog.

So two sheepdogs have noodles and they have to catch the other sheep. So when we started it, some of the people were caught and I was caught too .

After we played sheepdog all of us raced to the hedge so we could practice our running. “On your marks, get set, GO!!!” Then  Coach Bart gave us toys so we could measure our height. Then we had to jump over it. Some of the people jumped over theirs and some people jumped much further than their toys.

After that  our lesson was finished. Coach Bart our PE teacher was so proud of us doing  our  athletics skills so well. Even our teacher Mrs Agnew was so proud of us. Then  after that  all of us went back to class and we went back because we were so hot!

Then we started to write a blog about what we had learned at athletics. Here is a picture of us doing athletics skills.

 

 

Making our class movie

On the first day I was excited to begin to make our class movie. We started by making potato people using lots of different materials like toothpicks, eyes, material and our brains.  I was away sick but I got to make my boy potato and he wore a hat.

Then Ms Toland said we were going to use the potatoes to make a stop motion movie. She put us into groups and I was in the evil layer group. We had to make a background first and ours was painted black and grey with lots of stars and planets on it. We had a practise first with the ipads and I was with Nixcent, Nicole and Zenalia. We took turns to be the director, scene manager, cameraman and editor. It was really fun.

Last week we went to the library to finish our movie. We had to take millions of photos and then do voice overs so it looked like the potatoes were talking. I liked doing that. We will get to watch our movie next term.

basketball

Every Monday our class goes to  the court down near room 7  &  8   to play basketball. Coach Tray teaches us

how to play basketball  and he has taught us how to dribble, do an over head pass, three point shot, chest pass, bounce pass.

All of our classmates were having fun.  We played some games,  shooting hoops dribbling back and forth.

We had to bounce the basketball to the other person. It was great and we got to wear our PE clothes and

we got to have some time to play basketball with everyone in our class. Here is a picture of us playing basketball.
