Today we were using screencast for Pelicans. Listen to my screen cast about pelicans
Last Monday Mrs Grant and the class looked at a blog written by another class. They showed us their aliens which they did on Google Drawing. We then created our own aliens using Google Drawing and shapes. I also used the scribble tool.
On Friday when I woke up my Mum reminded me about St Patrick’s Jubilee for 175 years. So my siblings and I were getting ready and then our Mum dropped us off at school. Then we went to our classes followed by walking up to mass. After that Ms Kyle said that we could read or we could draw because it was nearly morning tea. I was about to read but….. RING! RING! RING!!!!!!! The bell rang and I was shocked. So I put my book down and I got my snack and went outside.
After morning tea, all of the students came out to the canopy so Mrs Bullot could call out the teams which were all Irish names. My team’s name was Apricots. After that we rotated between all the teachers who had prepared different games for us to play.
Then the next day was another celebration at school. My family was too busy to come but I could only come at the end.
On Sunday we all got ready for the big day. I was excited. We went to mass and the Tongans, Samoans and Filipinos had prepared amazing rituals and it was so amazing. After that we went to the hall so we could sing and entertain the guests as a school and different ethnic communities. There was a delicious lunch too. Happy 175 years, St Patrick’s School and Parish.
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:
Today I was watching different movies from the Manaiakalani film festival. I really enjoy watching the different
movies. I gave this movie 4 stars because it was about rugby players playing on the field, so when I grow up I am
going to help the rugby team win too. if you want to watch this link.
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.
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.
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.
Today were learning about legit or fake . legit and fake means is it not real or it is real.
When we are online it is important to see is legit or fake so we don’t get tracked down by bandits.
in the story , the moral of the story was never trust animals and never trust strangers.
Everyday for the last two weeks of last term, we learned new skills about swimming and keeping safe in the water. It was so cool.
Our instructor Mrs Parley showed us all how to swim and as we got used to it we got better and even more confident .
We got to jump into the pool and we had a race with the room 7’s and the room 8’s. It was wicked. Then we had to
float on our backs, back then forth. After that we swam with our boards and Ms Yumul videoed us swimming. It was great and on our last day we had to wear life jackets and there was a boat there. Ms Parley showed us how to swim together and then we had to fall off the boat and swim to the ladder. It was awesome.
