Culture Club

Hi, today I will be telling you about our class culture club.  Culture club is when  you pick a country with either a buddy or by yourself.  I did mine with my friend Nellie.  We decided to present ours on a                               science board.  It was really fun because we got to learn a lot of new things about India that I didn't know before.  Here's how it looked on slides before it was  printed out...                              

Big Eye Art

Hi, today as you can probably see I will be telling you about My big eye art.Yesterday on the 25 of November the year sixes went of to there new school's that they where going to go to next year/2019. So the year fives in Moana got to do art for most of the day. I learned that if you look closer than before at a picture there may be something else on it. Like how when I first looked at a picture of a big eye art I thought that it was just the big eyes and nose but when I looked closer I saw that it was a collage  background. Then after we learned how to do it,  we gave it a go ourselves. And this is how mine turned out. The animal I chose was a ring tailed lemur. What animal would you have done if you did the big eye art? Have you ever done it before? Tomorrow we are going to add to it so I might post what it looks like after that.  Bye and I hope you read my next blog post.

Fitness Rotations

Hello me again,
Today I will be telling you about the Moana Fitness Rotations.  So let's get started.  Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings we do fitness rotations.  Every week there are new fitness managers that have to set out the stations in groups of around 3 and 4.  There are lots of different stations to choose from but you can only choose ten because there are ten different groups.   There are about 4-6 people in a group.  We do one rotation for about a minute or two then move on.  All together we take about 20 minutes to go around all the stations but sometimes we don't finish. Do you do fitness in your class?

Speeches

Today my blog post is going to be about our speeches.

I'm super excited. But also really nervous. Last year I got into the finals, but did not win with my topic being, 'Flag the Bag' (ban plastic bags ). The year before that, my first year of doing speeches, I won with my topic being 'All Kids Should Have a Pet'. And I was sure that would convince my parents to get me a pet dog, but still two years later, I have no dog. And this year my speech topic is 'Fish for the Future'. I really hope that I can get into the finals again and maybe even win. First we have to do the class speeches, which are held in week 8, which means they are in one and a bit weeks. The school speech finals are in week 10 around 4 weeks away. Do you have school speeches? Please comment down below to show your answer.

Cross country Coming soon

Hello me again,

Next week our school Wainui Beach ) has cross country. I'm super excited for the avent. I look forward to it every year. But sometimes during practice I get really tired,and feel like I'm going to collapse. If it's sunny on Wednesday and Monday then we go down to the course to practice but if it's cloudy on Wednesday or Monday we go around the school block, and if it's raining we don't go practice running at all. Does your school do cross country?

Actions Stations Day

On Tuesday 31st of July we had an Actions Stations Day. Lots of different classes did lots of different things with their buddy class. Like clean out the kids PE shed, pick up rubbish, and spreading mulch all over the medicine garden. Our class (and buddy class) went down to the beach in the morning to pick up some rubbish. Then after morning tea we sorted out the rubbish that we found at the beach into  some boxes from the council. The boxes all had labels on them to tell us what to put in which boxes. Once we had sorted out the rubbish our buddies and another pair of buddies made one group of four. Then in our group we made some posters about the rubbish we found at the beach. For lunch we walked down to the Hamanatua Stream as a school. That was on of my favorite parts of the day. After we had eaten lunch we went back to the beach for a play. We walked along the beach to get back to school. On the walk back to school we picked up some more rubbish on the beach. Then we went to the school hall to share what we had done for Actions Stations Day with the other classes. Then it was the end of the day, and that was our Actions Stations Day. Overall I had a great day and felt good about doing something great.

Storybird Picture Book

This is my Picture Book that I made on Storybird.com for quick write today.  It is about a hedgehog's messy room and his mum said that if he doesn't clean his room that a monster would come, but he still did not clean his room.  So his mum played a trick on him.  But I do not want to spoil the story!

Kawa Of Care

Today I am going to tell you about how Moana 2 learnt about the Kawa of Care. The Kawa of Care is looking after our Chromebooks and being Cyber Smart. Being Cyber Smart is keeping yourself safe on the internet and not being a cyberbully. Cyberbullying is even against law.

On Friday, our home room day, Moana 2 made some Kawa of Care posters.

We were allowed to do it in buddy's but we did not have to.

On my poster I said not to share any personal information, like your phone number, address or

credit card number on the internet. See you next time and remember not to share any personal information on the internet.

A Timetable That Tells Me What To Do In My Week!

Hello again. Today i am going to tell you about how my timetable tells me what to do in my week. On Monday or Sunday i would full out my timetable on a computer or chromebook. In my email there is a timetable sign up that my teacher Koka Ngaire sends me every week on Sunday. In the email there is a sign up. The sign ups say what workshops there are each week. You click the workshops you think are best for you and then write them in your timetable.But there is no slide on the timetable for Friday because that is our home room Friday.

The workshops go for half an hour. Since the workshops you sign up for aren't every half an hour you have to fill in the empty spaces with activities. We get the activities from an website called Moana Learning Hub.( Moana Learning Hub is our class learning hub )  In Moana Learning Hub there is a page called links to learning, which has some activities  that we do during the week. You write the  activities in your timetable. And there I have it  a timetable that tells me what to do in the week.

 I love my new timetable!

This is what my timetable looks like each day.
