The day at the pools!!

WALT: to write a interesting recount about our end of year pool trip.

On Friday  we went to the town pools for a end of year fun day (kind of-12 more days until school ends). So in the morning it was pretty normal but also different. we got to wear mufti and Ms Peters was sick so we got Mrs Cutler for the morning. After morning tea there were two buses to go on, and I went on the one with room 3 and sadly that was the bus without my friends on it.

When we got there we sat down on the seat and got told the safety stuff by the lifeguards and then we undressed into our togs and gracefully hopped into the super warm pool and the dive/bomb pool opened but I didn't go because I knew i would get bullied for my small bombs, but I was having enough fun with Sam and Unaiki. 

Meanwhile Ahi was trying very hard to steal my floatie, and me, Sam,and Unaiki are getting drowned by Quinn (it wasn't very effective) and sitting on the seats, eating and sleeping. After that we got on the buses again and headed back to school. when we got back we had sausage sizzle, i hurt my foot, and we played capture the flag.

Blurb- on Friday we went to the town pools for a end of year fun day and then we had make a recount about it and say what happened and the fun we had.

Reflection- it was was easy to explain what we did

It was hard to-find more interesting stuff to say.

Next time I will-put more detail into it.

Water safety with Whaea Nancy

 Walt: be safe and careful while swimming in the ocean, rivers and lakes.

Blurb: Today Whaea Nancy came and told about water safety and the dangers of the ocean. She told us about rips and the equipment you should bring to the beach, river, or just water in general.

Reflection:

It was easy to: Describe what we did.

It was hard to: Think of a WALT.

To improve I will: Put more information about what we learned.

Niue DMIC maths

 WALT: to use geometry, position, orientation, and investigating fractions.

 

Blurb - What was the task/activity about? 

For the last 3 days we have been doing maths and other activities about Niue, since it is Niue language week. For this activity we have been experimenting how long it would take in kilometres to travel to all the villages in Niue. 

Reflection: 

I learned that... Niue has a hair cutting tradition for boys.

 I enjoyed ...  working with my friends.

I found it challenging...  figure out the math.

To improve I will...  use more strategy.

Agriculture day!!!

 

WALT: write what we did on pet-day

Today was agriculture day but we couldn't go inside the classrooms because of LEVEL 2. In our class we made Orca art, we did biscuit decorating, and recycled animals. it was super fun and cool. 

If you don't know what AG day/pet day you are supposed to bring an pet or animal but OBVIOUSLY we couldn't because... you guessed it CORONAVIRUS!! and we get to make cool creations let I told you before.

Deconstructed Recount

 WALT Write a Deconstructed Recount.

So for the last week, we have been learning how to write a deconstructed holiday recount. We had to write what we saw, smelt, tasted, heard, and felt.

Deconstructed Recount

                                   Show, Don’t Tell 

Deconstructed Recount 

WRITE ABOUT IT	DRAW A PICTURE
SEE  Sand dunes towering over me as I rode along into the misty distance.   Waves crashing into the shore.
HEAR  I heard the rumble of the rusty engine as I rode along, the sound making my ears ring.
TASTE  I tasted salt as I bit into a salty delicious chip, LP sliding down my throat after taking a big sip.

WRITE ABOUT IT	DRAW A PICTURE
SMELL   delicious chips and a hotdog on a stick, the smell is unbearably good
FEEL feel cold as I dove into the frigid water and I feel intermediate coldness.
