Kia ora , Today Matua Jason and I took the first steps towards building a shade house in the Horticulture Block. This Shade house is going to be a prototype for a larger structure that will be built in term one by the woodwork and technology students.
Having shade for young plants is essential , especially at this time of the year when the sun is hot and water scarce.
I am going to get some supplies finish off this project in the weekend and have it ready for students arrival next week.
Ka pai!
Manaiakalini PLD @ Waitangi Treaty Grounds 28/01/2021
At the begining of the year our 9R Social Studies class decided we wanted to take a trip to Auckland and visit places of interest from our studies. Then the Lockdown’s hit and we were grounded. When we got back in April I put it to our class that we go to Wellington at the end of the year. They all agreed and it was all on from that point onwards. Eight months of looking for money and booking everything. On Monday 16 Nov twenty students and five adults left our college at 6am. We bused to Auckland and caught our flight to Wellington. For some of our students this was the first time on a plane. Once in Wellington we headed for the National Library and had a planned educational tour.
That was fasinating and we got to see the original Treay of Waitangi. We checked into our accomodation at the YHA in the city which was perfect. On Tuesday we visited the Parliament Buildings where our Northland MP and past student Willow-Jean Prime met us and here is our photo with her. After Parliament we went onto Te Papa photo below, and had a great look around. On Wednesday our last day we took the students to Bowlarama for a fun morning before heading to the airport at 2pm and flying back to Auckland. The weather was a bit rough but the kids handled it well. Our driver was waiting and we headed straight back home to college arriving at 7.30pm. What an awesome trip we all had and what a great bunch of students to travel away with. Thank you 9R and our students from 9K & 9T you guys rock.
Next week on Tuesday I am going campwith my Dad, Step mum, my aunty, 2 of my cousins and 4 of my sister’s I am really exitied to go my dad said that we would be going Fishing, Hiking and mabye roast some marshmello’s.
well what is it I would be there for a week I am really exitied but my dad never told us where we were going and told us it was a superise.
until then I how I don’t hurt myself like the other camping trips I’ve been on, Good luck to me and Happy Hew Year.
One of the challenges for the Summer learning Journey I’m doing is to write a poem about going on the moon, I did a acrostic poem!
When we landed I felt a crash
All my crew mates went behind me
Like I imagined it was all bouncy
Knowing I was the first to set foot on the moon I was so exited
I Looked around
Nobody else is out yet
Going away from the rocket I Jump up and float in the air
Oh my it’s beautiful
Nothing is like this at home !
The ground’s getting further away
Hiding behind my friends with objects going everywhere
Even my friends are looking so happy
Making my way around I explore
On my way back I cant believe what I have seen
Oh it was so worth being away from home for so long
Now I wait to get home and tell everyone
Hi i’m doing a challenge for the summer learning Journey. This challenge is about the three things I treasure! I have chosen all these things because they are very special to me.
1. My old teddy Sparkles I used to take to Montessori when I was little.
2. A little blanket I’ve had for ages that goes on the end of my bed.
3. My baby clothes in a special box that I used to wear.
Hi, This is a summer learning journey challenge about someone who changed the world and how.
The person I choose is James Naismith because they invented netball. This is a really cool sport and lots of people love it including me. I think netball gives people things to do and is good exercise for people it is also a team sport and helps people be social.
You can look up this person if you’d like to know more about the invention of netball.
One of the activity’s for the summer learning journey is to ask Steven Adams 5 questions. This was a really fun activity to do and I really enjoyed it!
Hi, I hope everyone’s having a good holiday! On this blog I’m doing a summer learning challenge about which picture is real and which is fake. This was fun to do and interesting as i’d have to look really closely and think about different pictures! The example underneath has the thing that makes the picture fake shown by a arrow and the real face has a green border.
From the quiz my score was 10/10 if you would like to try the quiz here’s the link, Which face is real?.
