10M Water Cycle Experiment

In this unit, we have been learning about the Earth’s dynamic. In this lesson it was the water cycle specifically. Me and my group filmed our water cycle experiment to share with everyone else. The water cycle starts with some water and an energy source, the Earth’s energy source is the sun. The heat from the sun evaporates the water into water vapour which then rises into the atmosphere. The atmosphere is colder, making the water vapour condense back into droplets. The droplets are called condensation and are heavy, as they are more dense, so they fall back to the earth as precipitation. Here is our video.

Alison – My Favorite Class Movie

Hi My name is Alison and I am a year 5.  Our whole school made a movie. My favorite class movie was room 7’s movie. The reason why room 7’s movie is my favorite is because it was funny how they played ‘chubby bunny’ and different kinds of sports. I would really like to learn how to play those kinds of games. The sports that I really liked were ‘touch and netball’. Actually all of the sports were my favorite. My last favorite part about room 7’s movie was ‘the splash’ because I really liked how the water went in slow motion and how they got wet.  I hope that they really enjoyed the fun they had.

Warrior Tupu Maia 

Warrior Tupu Maia 

Kia ora, Reader 

Today I am going to talk about Warriors Tupu Maia. Because it was raining outside, the girls used the hall to stay active and practice their skills together. Tupu Maia is a fun health and wellbeing programme created by the Warriors Community Foundation specifically for Year 7 and 8 girls. 

It focuses on building confidence, trying new sports, boosting skills, and encouraging physical and mental wellbeing. Underpinned by Te Whare Tapa Wha, the programme helps Wahine support each other while staying active and having fun.

Through engaging group activities, team-building exercises, and interactive workshops, the girls learn valuable life skills such as leadership, teamwork, and resilience. Each session connects directly to the four dimensions of Te Whare Tapa.

Motivation.

My name is Peter and I am going to tell yous about what I learn about motivation and what I learn a lot from it,

 

Today my teacher told us that we had to find out what  motivation means. The thing that motivates me is games because  games  can calm me down. It can sometimes be funny and also it makes me happy  and I also play with my  friend . The thing that I like about motivation is that I like learning about new things about words like motivation. Motivation means supporting others throughout their term and supporting others without geting told , that is showing all of our school.  The things that we did about motivation is that we get to work out what it means.

 

 

The meaning for motivation is hyping people and also supporting each other at all time because that is call being a nice person and you are making good thing at the right time, the other reason what motivation means someone that gave you a motivational speech that made you want to do something or something sparked inside you to make you do it.

Kiwi Can week 4 :)

 Last Friday in Kiwi Can we followed the value of respect and the topic for that week was respecting people.  The whole session was around this topic, I say this because the energizer and activity all related to respecting people.

As we all may know respecting people can also mean helping other people as well as respecting them. So for our energizer we played help me tag. Help me tag is simply a game where there are 2 tagger tagging people using pool noodles and if you get tagged you sit down but a friend can help you up, which is how it incorporates the topic of respecting people. As for our activity we played dead ant, which connects to the topic similarly to help me tag.

To play dead and you have 2 people with pool noodles, a red pool noodle and a green one. The person that holds the red pool noodle is the tagger, while the person holding a green pool noodle is a healer.  If you get tagged by the tagger you have to lay down with your limbs in the air like a dead ant (explaining the name), 4 people then have to come to you and hold one limb each and sing to call for the healer. This game shows integrity and loyalty towards your friends showing respect.In this session we learned why and how we are important and why we should respect people including ourselves.  Despite this, the Country was also very interesting as this country had languages mixed to make their own language

Reversy Percy Challenge

One day our teacher was telling us about how her favourite lollies were reversed around. The famous candy that originated from United Kingdom in 1992, the one and only, Percy pigs. She was telling us about how the brand had changed it around, switching her favourite part of it to the smaller part which was the ears. Then she came up with the idea of reversing iconic fairytales, which would eventually turn into a fun, collaborative and significant activitiy. The first step was to pick a good and reliable partner and after we had done that it was time to draw the original story on paper  in scenes and then reverse it on another paper with scenes again. Thirdly was making the reversed story digitally on a Chromebook, this was the important and hard part. Me and my partner had picked The Ugly duckling and reversed that story into The Beautiful Duckling. There was also rules that applied to the digitally created one which was: No tracing, no copying, inspiration only and working fairly and equally, not just one person does the work. When we had finished our slideshow of The Beautiful duckling, we showcased it to the class, basically like a presentation as well as reading the storyline. The end was quite unexpected so make sure to check it out, anyways, this activity was very fun and creative and I really hope we will get another one of these again.

Swimming – The Last Day

Malo e lelei readers,

On Friday we had our last lesson for swimming. I was so excited because the first thing we did was diving in on the deep end. Only nine of us came that were in my group. So we split in to one group of four and one group of five. In was in the group of four and we were the first to jump! We have to stand up straight and put our arms around us and jump in by taking one step. After we dived in we had to get back up and float. Once we were close enough to the other team they would reach out pool noodles for us to grab onto and they would pull us in. The team that was not jumping yet was practicing saving us. When they had saved us we swapped and they  jumped. I loved jumping and all the big splashes when we dive. After that we went to the adults pool and practiced diving there. When we dived in we had to do the same thing but we had to bend our knees because this pool wasn’t as deep so we wouldn’t hurt our legs. Once we dived in we had to swim back up and float through two hoops.

I had a lot of fun on the last swimming lesson.

Have you ever tried diving before?

I hope you enjoyed this post.

Bye bye readers, see you soon.

Is It Wrong To Fight?

😡Is fighting wrong🥊?

 

Put your hands up if you think it’s right to fight, if you did PUT IT DOWN! But anyways kia ora my name is Natan, and I am here to tell you why it is and isn’t right to fight.

 

Firstly, it’s not right to fight because anger does not solve the problem, it only starts more problems that goes far, to even situations with weapons and we do not want that! If you resolve the problem by using force and anger that just makes everything WORST. Do you think Te Whiti and Tohu sorted it out by going to war? NO they invited them in and went peacefully without war. The thing you should do is ask a teacher to help with the situation so everyone is safe and sound and no one gets hurt  .

 

Secondly, it’s right to fight but only for defense, because if someone push there is no reason to fight, if someone accidentally ran into you, there is no reason to fight, but if someone is hitting you nonstop you have the right to defend yourself by blocking the hit, running away or the last resort by hitting back only if you can’t do the other two!.

 

Lastly, it is not right to fight because everyone has a right to be safe, even the person who is starting it. If someone is trying to fight you DO NOT want the anger to take over, because if someone gets accidentally hit that will cause even more problems that will lead to getting stood down or even getting expelled and no one wants that. That’s why you should always stay calm and not just choose anger to resolve because someone could get hurt.

 

As you can see from my point of view we shouldn’t fight because someone could get hurt for no reason, everyone has a right to be safe and it is right only for defending in the worst scenarios.

Reversey Purcey

Today in LS2, We made an animation, called “The Three Little Wolfs And The Big Neutral Spider” or known as “Reversey Purcey” changes the usual fairy tale story by showing the relationship between animals in a new way. Instead of clear good guys and bad guys, it focuses on three clever wolves and a big spider that doesn’t take sides. The story uses role swaps and unclear roles to explore ideas about being neutral, sharing power, and living together in a story that feels familiar but is told differently.

Fighting is number 1 WRONG

😡It is wrong❌ to fight 😡

My name is alayna and i am here to teach you a lesson people!My topic is no fighting The reason why is because fighting causes loss of trust,unfriendliness, emotional close ups, emotional break ups and left out families also put your hand up if fighting is not right if you don’t put your hand up and put it up because fighting is not right . If people do not fight the things people will have and do are trustworthy,emotional joy outbursts, and hanging out. WE NEW ZALENDERS SHOULD BE PEACEFUL like Te Whiti and Tohu!!!!!!!!!!💕

 

DON’T HURT PEOPLE!!!!

 

after this writing I WANT to not hear ANYTHING about the word: Fight because people could get seriously hurt like imagine someone punching your nose so hard that it breaks and you get a nosebleed 🩸👃 THAT IS SERIOUS👀

 

 third I THINK THAT FIGHTING SHOULD BE BANNED UNLESS YOUR DEFENDING YOUR SELF DON’T BE A BULLY or you are very rude 

 

LOOK AT The INJURED KIDS THAT GET HURT  THEY WERE BULLIED AND GOT CHASED AWAY AND GOT BAD INJURIES do you really want to be a bully? They also could get hurt like nosebleeds, broken bones bleeding not breathing. SO DON’T HURT ANYONE and do you want to be the reason that kids have died?

As you can see I told you everything I could think of. THE END 

DON’T FIGHT ONLY DO IT IF YOU HAVE TO DEFEND YOURSELF IF ITS NOT DEFENDING OR  OTHER REASONS AND YOU HURT LITTLE KIDS I AM CALLING  THE POLICE!
