Night Quest

Today, we were told by our teacher to blog our recent quick-write once again and once again here's mine. I always have a fun time writing it and I hope you have a fun time reading it. :)

Sun City

Every morning, my class has to do our quick writes for at least 15 mins. This helps our brain get ready for the day and it helps us advance our writing skills. This is one of my quick writes.

You Can Do It

My filming group Is Nadia, Sarah and me. We created a Film called You can get through it. In this film, there was a boy who was participating in a race. He came last and although there was some encouraging people, there was some other people who slammed him for being him. He gets trained and told wonderful advice. He asks for another race, with all the training and advice, he wins. Our film teaches you to just keep trying and never give up.

Integrity online poster

Today my class and I made some posters about online safety and all that. Here is my poster, it's amaZING.

Expectations For Term 4

Today, My class was told to create a poster showing expectations for our class we'll expect to be seeing of this term. This is my poster, simple but it tells everything it needs to. Enjoy.

LCS Presentation

For the past weeks, I've been working on a presentation about the digestive system with my partner, Rangi. It was fun to decorate and research about. It was scary having to go up and present, what made it worse was......we were bloody first.

Sugar

Today, In our class. We got into groups and a activity about sugar was held. We got pictures of drinks, and then we needed to predict the amount of sugar that was in it. After our predictions were made, we made a poster.

Road safety poster

My school is apart of a competition where, us Glen Taylor school students have to create a road safety poster and whoever turns out the best, wins basically and gets prizes. I'm sure mine ain't winning but I can always pray.

Play Based Learning Part 2

We had to write our thoughts on play base learning so here is a quick little google drawing with images and my thoughts. Hope you enjoy.

Monster land

MONSTER LAND

When the sky is pitch black and the stars are shining bright, all the kids of the world are
sleeping on their cozy beds except one.

Everynight, Michael Jackson crawls under his bed and says hi to his monster. His monster is called
Derek, and the colour of his soft fur on top of his harsh skin is a peaceful blue and a wild purple.
Derek’s claws are horrifyingly long and dark. He has sets of yellow sharp teeth in his mouth. He growls
powerful and head splitting if you get on his bad side. But something that makes him special and is Derek’s
personal favourite thing about him is his incredible personality.

Together they use Derek’s monster magic and vanish into the lovely world of monster land.
Monster land is an unbelievable place, everything their screams out the word “FUN”. There’s bouncy
balls, monstrous trampolines, crazy swings, thunderous deep laughter, extreme roller coasters and
many more. This whole place is an awesome fair.

Today, Derek and Michael are going to go to the bookstore to get a book to read tonight. After scanning
through many outrageous monster books, they found the perfect book. This book was called The
Friendly Monster, there was many different stories about friendly monsters but this one stood out. It
was special because the author was Jake, Him and Michael were fellow friends and the monster in the
story was best friends with mine.

That night. Michael was safely in his bed, tugging on his blanket that was as soft as rose petals.
Underneath his blue bed there was an amazing monster reading a story with his deep voice.
Derek couldn’t be any more happier he thought as they both dosed off to sleep.

Play Based Learning

Today our teacher set up this block where we just play a bunch of learning activities or games of our choice. This is called Play based learning and I certainly think we should do this more often at our school. It brings fun into learning.

Here is what I did. My friend Nadia and I found a box of random clothing and fabrics that our teacher put out. This activity got us using our brains and thinking about things such as what fabrics would go together or are the sides cut equally. Eventually we somehow ended up trying to turn me into a ghost.

I also made paper planes and played with it outside with Nadia and Lexiannah. We threw it as far as we could and guessed how far it went. All our paper planes ended up on the roof at the end.

Writing is Golden with Ms Wrack

Recently, Ms Wrack came to our class and taught us a little bit more about writing. She gave my class and I a task, the task was to create a story about Anzac using our 5 senses. Here is mine, I imagined I was a solider who got shot.

Let's Play Football- Reading Activity

Yesterday my reading group, Taniko was assigned to read the article at https://www.onceuponapicture.co.uk/portfolio_page/lets-play-football/ and answer the questions below. I thought instead of just writing down the answers in my book, I could make a google drawing on it so I did. I had a fun time making this and I hope you had a fun time reading this.

Predicting what might happen on Friday.

Predicting what might happen on Friday.

In the morning, we're probably going to have a big assembly and at the end,
Mr Herlihy will probably say "have a great holiday". In the classroom we might do some work which honestly I'm fine with if it's all chill and nice and we might play some games outside on the court. I assume we're going to take out all our piggy bank money and see how much we have.After we've found out the amount, we decide what we wanna eat and the feast is gonna be ready by the end block. While we're eating, hopefully we're also enjoying a nice movie. At the end of the day, we'll clean up the class and pack up everything and we'll say goodbye and thank you to our teacher and all our friends for making this term, a awesome one.

Update: I was wrong, The head students just walked in and told the class, we're having a fun day with lots of water activities and other sports.

My Weekend

Today Miss said we had to blog about what we did in our holidays. I thought instead of just doing a simple note, I could create a short poem and a nice poster to go along with it.

Courage of a Lion

Zellio and Sipio are siblings, one day their uncle Rath comes out of no where and gives them some gifts. The real reason for why he's here after all these years is because he has to arrive some news for the family. The news being that the Roman soldiers are coming to overrun the port city of Rusicada because they've had enough of the king's weakness. The family has to go through many hard decisions and escape before it's too late. In my opinion, I think this is nice short story and I'd read this again.

What I Learned

Today I have learned something amazing about money. Today in class we were out into groups and each group had a coin or note that we had to research about. We needed to know things such as "what can you buy with that value?", "How can you earn that value?" and "who or what is in that value and why?". We answered the questions on a poster and then we had to present the poster. My group was doing the 2 dollar coin. I learned that the bird on the coin was a Kotuku, it's one of NZ rarest birds. I learned it was released in 1990. I learned that you can buy many things with 2 dollars.

Fire poster

Here is a poster I did last year. Our school values are FIRE and this poster shows exactly what fire means and why it is our school values. Hope you show fire today.

Exploring Opportunities To Make Money

Recently Room 13 has been learning about money and how to get wise with it. We're getting prepared to answer all the questions for when ASB and their programme comes to our school. We had to do activities surrounding money stuff, Making a poster about the jobs you could have to earn money was one of them. Here is my poster.
