Rugby Zones

Hi guys, last week on Tuesday I went to Rugby zones with the team. When we got to the park we saw all the Schools that were competing. We had six games we versed Hay Park, May Road, and Barbarians 2 times. We won 3 games, drew two, and lost one. My favourite part of the day was when I got a try and we won our game. It was funny when my friend got hit from a kid from another school. My least favourite bit was that my team kept on getting injured from the other school. If there is another Rugby zones in Intermediate then I am for sure going to join. On the day I think I could've done better on my defence but overall the day was fun. Oh and also we came 2nd which is pretty good for a small school like mine. Bye

Here are some photos of the day.

Interland Work

Hi blogging world, the year sixes in cybersmart have been playing a game called Interland. Interland is a game used for cybersmart so people know what to do with their accounts in case someone hacks them. My favourite mode on this game is the Kind Kingdom because you can help people getting cyber-bullied and you can also eliminate the bullies with speakers. I also like the tower of treasure because you are riding on something and you collect things. Reality River gives you questions to answer to get through the river. The Mindful Mountain tells you to be mindful about what you share even to your friends. This is my poster about the four different modes.

Stop motion

HI guys, today the syndicate came together to make a stop motion. We didn't make one big one, we each did one by ourselves. We made the stop motions with playdough, the colour of the playdough was black and red. My favourite part was making the stop motion because, when I was making and watching my stop motion, the ones I did were really funny. Sadly I forgot to save it and then I had to make one up on the spot. I really enjoyed making these stop motions because I have never made one before and also it was really fun to make. I hope you like my one that I made on the spot. BYE   

Technology Rotation

Hi guys, every Friday we have been doing these technology rotations. My class made geoboards out of wood and nails and also rubber bands to put one them. Every Friday we rotated to each class in Te Waka Ako. My favourite one was when we had to make a LED light work with a battery, tape, foil, paper clip, cardboard, LED light. I managed to make it work, for two seconds. I found it hard making the circuit with those things. My favourite part about doing this rotation was learning new things I didn't know before which can help with my learning. This was really fun and frustrating as well, BYE. 

Here is me and my finished piece. 

Here is JD making his circuit. 

Matariki crossover

Talofa lava guys, today the whole syndicate came together to celebrate Matariki. To celebrate Matariki we did a crossover. One group went to make kites and the other two either went to do feathers for the cloak that we made or wen to make necklaces with Ms McClellan. I went to the kite making area first and saved the fun stuff for last. Second I made the feather, I really liked making the feathers because I got to draw and I really enjoy drawing. My favourite out of all of them was the necklace making. It was very fun and when I went home I was wearing it everywhere. My second favourite was kite making with Ms Sands. My third was the feathers with Mr Rattenbury. See you later.

Waikowhai Art Festival

Hi guys Richard here. On Tuesday the schools Art Festival was on. You guys may know that my class painted individual birds that are native to New Zealand.  I used blue for my background as the sky and had a sparrow as my bird. My favourite part of doing the bird painting was the flower because my teacher told me how to shade it and make it look more effective. The reason why I did this bird is because it was really easy to draw and there wasn't that much to do with it. I didn't go to the Art Show so I can't tell you guys what happened but here are is a photo of people weaving at the Art Show.

We also made signs for our house that we built for the Art Show. The sign had to persuade people to stop polluting our country and helping us make it more healthy for our animals. Everyone else did it on their chrome books except for me and my two friends. I enjoyed drawing the sign because when I draw I get more ideas and brainstorm them in my head, then I get one big idea. 

Before I did my sign had to do this thing called Train Art which me and my art group made for the new train station that is going to be built underground. The subject was where would we go in a train for mine I did "To the islands of Samoa". My favourite part of doing this was colouring in the drawing I did.


There was one big piece of art that the whole syndicate helped to make it was our big weaving board.  I really liked weaving because I haven't done it before in my life so this is probably my highlight of this term. There is a teacher that helped us and is really good at weaving her name is Mrs Paki.

My Samoan Fale

My Samoan Fale

Hey bloggers, last week in reading we were learning about a tsunami that happened in Samoa. We had to watch a video that gives us some ideas about what happened there. There was a part of the story when the chief of the village had a talk with two scientist they had a talk about how they could make the village safer, one of their ideas were to move the village to the other side of the land. When I finished the video which took me for ages I had to either make a tinkercad or draw the house that would withstand a tsunami or a storm I chose to draw the house. My favourite part of doing this was drawing the house and adding the detail onto it and making it strong enough. Drawing the house was really funny, because when I was drawing it I thought that it was a real house but my friend said that it was a key chain we started laughing it was so funny. HERE IS A PHOTO OF MY DRAWING:
