Merry Christmas!

Our Planet Earth

There are a lot of things to learn about Earth. I have learnt a lot of things about it so you can watch the slideshow and learn more like how I did.

Netbook Reflection!!!

This year I have really enjoyed having a netbook to work on because it was a good experience learning more about how to work on a computer. Another thing I liked about my netbook is that it was much easier for me to write in a google doc rather than to look for a pencil and paper. I have much more information that is quickly available for me. Overall, it has been really working out well for me.

As much as I have loved having a netbook, there are some things that I haven’t liked.When the Internet was playing up it was really frustrating. When I tried to get on to my google docs, it would often say connection has timed out. Other than that, my netbook has worked fine.

One of the significant differences with using a netbook has been with writing. I chose writing because I am improving more in this subject area and it’s all because of how easy a netbook makes it to edit my writing. When I use paper and pencil, it takes longer because I often can’t find a pencil, and then once I have written, it takes a long time to edit it properly.

The greatest challenge for me is when I’m doing my work. There are so many things on my netbook that I can get into, that it is often difficult to stay focused on my assigned task. No matter what, I will continue to work to improve this.

I think it would be very boring to go back to what we had before netbooks because everything is so much easier and more interesting now. If it were to fail, I would be sad because no netbooks would also mean waiting, waiting and more waiting to use a computer to create and present my work. Hopefully, I will always be able to use my netbook or a similar device at school.

Fun times at Camp Bentzon Part 2!!!

Just looking around the place was eye catching. Everywhere you look was so beautiful. If you wondering what I’m talking about, it’s camp Bentzon.

Kayaking was one of my fears but now, it’s not. When we first started camp, I was afraid of kayaking. But when I tried it, I got use to it. I had conquered one fear.

Well, on that day I felt scared, but then, I did it and I never gave up. When your doing something like that, how do you feel?

Fun times at Camp Bentzon!!!

Would you like to visit camp Bentzon? Well, most of our year 6’s went on a camp trip there. There were a lot of things to do at camp. Let’s explore my interesting experience.

On day 1 we got to have free time, by free time I mean Swimming, Volleyball, Gridiron and others. I went swimming and we all got to jump off the pontoon and there were a lot of splashes. We had a game of Volleyball (by we, I mean Mary and I).

Another activity that we did was hiking. Oh no, walking up steep, steep hills. It was so difficult because when we got up to steep hills, we would always slip. We made a chant and it goes “I will, you will, we will, never give up.” When someone is starting to give up, we would say the chant.

Have you ever wanted to conquer your fear? Well, Mansion B had a cool activity that was concourse. Concourse is short for confidence course. Using three point of contact, I did all of the things in the confidence course and I conquered my fear.

When we left, I felt sad because I didn't want to leave. Now, I feel alright because my friends. I still feel a little bit sad but I feel alright at the same time.

Camp Bentzon!!!

Was it possible, were we really going on camp to Kawau island! I didn’t think it was true until our teacher told us. I was so excited that I couldn’t even wait until the day.

Year 6’s had alot of camp meeting because well it was almost time for us to leave for our camp. Siting there ,wondering what we were going to do, I still thought I was going to have a great and enjoyable time. I’m sure that we’re all going to have a great time(hopefully).

I think a plus is that I have friends going and that I’m going to have a very good time. A minus for me is Totally NOTHING!!!!! Something that I find interesting is that we have to walk a long, long way.

I feel so excited because camp is just around the corner. How do you feel when camp is just around the corner? I will tell you everything that happened when I get back.

To be continued. . . .

Outta this World.

Do you know about the planets in the sky? Well, what I know is that the order of the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth , Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. I did an Acronym of it and it is

Muffin

That was My Acronym so I can remember the order of the nine Planets up in the sky.

Willow Park Camp!

Have you ever been been on a camp to Willow Park? Well, as you already know the holidays are for 2 weeks, I got to go on a camp for a whole week. If you went on this camp, I bet you would want to go again and again.

Games that we played. . .let me think spot light, chocolate fish hunt, we got to go to Eastern beach and have a sandcastle competition, we got to ride on the green machines , sports games like volley ball, tag, soccer, basketball and we got a lot of free time. I know, that might sound like a lot of games, but it wasn’t. Oh, and we had to go for fitness and that was running up a hill.

Ever camp that we have, all of the groups have to preform their dance. After that we usually go to sleep, but this time, we got to have a Disco. We were all dancing the night away and then at 10:00 we had to go to sleep and we got to sleep in a cabin with bunk beds.

I had a very fun time at Willow park, not just because I got to get away from home, but because I got to make new friends and I had a great time. Hopefully you have a great time if you go on a camp to Willow park. By the way, pick me up if you go too.

Learning, Learning, Learning makes Perfect.

When I do some of this work, It feels like I learn more about some of these countries every single day. It feels incredible. If you look at these, you won't feel any thing, but when it's your work you feel like a mission has been done. A mission has been complete for me. Hope you my slide-show.

QR codes!!

When I first saw one of these, I was wondering what the hell it was. But when our teacher told us what is was, I got use to it. Now, we have to do it every 2 weeks. It looks boring, but when you take a photo with of it, it take you to the place you linked it to. You can make your own buy clicking on QR Code. Thank you for visiting my blog.

Story behind the Samoan Flag.

Are you wondering what the story is behind this flag? Well, I have got the answer to your question. Have you ever been wondering what the stars represent on the flag? Have you ever wondered what the colors mean on the flag? Well, I give it a go. The Stars represent the Southern cross but that little star on the side is small because all of the other stars have a brighter light, but that small one has less light. That's was me giving it a shot.

Baking Baking Baking makes perfect

Yummy, cupcakes and cakes! Well, my mum and I love to bake. We baked cupcakes on my sisters birthday, we bake cakes when we feel bored and we bake when ever we have the right ingredients. That's how much we love to bake.

The ingredients that we need and are butter, sugar, vanilla essence , 2 eggs, flour, baking powder, (coco if you want) and that’s about it. There are some equipment that we need as well and the equipment that we need includes a bowl, sieve, a spoon, a cake tray or cupcake/muffin tray and last but not least 2 Wooden spoon.

Over the past few weeks and months, our baking hasn’t really turned out right. It’s always because we put too much of something in it. Like, we put too much butter, too much baking powder, too much flour and too much of other stuff. But in February and March, it was alright and it tasted delicious.

When I bake, I feel excited because we have accomplished a mission. No one can split my mum and I apart because we are a B.T (that means baking team). How do you feel when you bake?

Country Languages. . .

Languages. . . don’t you feel funny when you don’t know what someone is saying. Well, I do because what if their trying to tell you something and you don’t know what they are say. Lets see some of the languages and what other people might be saying to you.

To say hi, my name is in Spanish you say hola, mi nombre es. To say that in France, you say Salut, mon nom est. To say Thank you and I will see you later in Italian, you say Grazie a voi e io ci vediamo dopo.

Well, when somebody is trying to say something and you don’t know what their saying how do feel. I feel embarrassed. Do you want to know why. Because if your around people in a different country and someone is telling you something people will be staring at you.

Quiz time!!!You have to go to google translate and that will give you the answer. If you know the answer then go to comment and you can type it in there.What does these mean. In Italian, Ciao, mi chiamo Huelo-ata e ho 10 anni. . . In Spanish, Encantado de conocerte and in French, Quel est votre nom, mon nom est Hueloata. That is it for now but come back and explore more.

Typing again and again

Typing certificates are hard to get, but when you get use to it, you will get better and better.

The Worlds here to play!!

Rugby World Cup, have you seen any of the games yet? Well, I will tell you a little bit about who has been winning some of the games. Lets get into it.

The countries have been working hard to get there places in the R.W.C. But, there are individuals that have been winning for there country. For example: New Zealand against Tonga and New Zealand won.

As you already know that New Zealand won there are some more countries that have won. Like Japan and France, France won. And South Africa and Fiji and South Africa won.

If you team losted and you feel down, don’t. Because if you do it’s bad for you. I’m just joking.

Cross Country!!!

Cross Country, what a tiring run. When I started to run, I was that tired just because I was running to fast. I wasn't even half way when I stopped running. It was that tiring.

On the actual day, we went through the bush walk and back around to school. I never brought any shoes and when I ran, my feet started to hurt. On the way to the finish line, I saw my friend that I gave my shoes to. I asked her for it and luckily she even had it.

When I finished the race, I was so tired and I didn’t even won’t to get up. That was how tired I was. Hopefully I won’t feel like that again.

Well, if your doing Cross Country, just remember to bring your shoes!! Just joking! But I’m not if your going bush walking

This is some of the evidence of my learing. These were taken from my hyperstudio stack and I was the one how gathered them all together. See if you can find out the answer This question. What is the name of the flower on the left side. This is the bald eagle and it is the emblem of USA. The one with the rose on it is the National flower for USA.

Story behind the USA flag!!

The 13 stripes represent the 13 original colonies of the US: Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhodes Island, South Carolina and Virginia. All of the stars on The flag represent a individual state and if a new star is added it means that there is a new state.

Thing about Argentina!!

There are a lot of cool thing that you don’t know about Argentina. Let me tell you. Hola, did you know that Spanish is the official language of Argentina and Soccer is the official sports of Argentina as well. By the way, that means hi. The current president, Cristina Fernandez De Kirchner, was the first woman President to be elected in Argentina. Argentina has 5 Provinces and they are Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Chile.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

With not knowing I was invited, I let out a tremendous scream when I found out that I was!! I was invited to my friend birthday party! Her name is Jasmine and she was turning 11. We started to be Best friends in Rm 7 and then ever sense that year we have been in the same classes(and still B.F’s).

She chose the same 2 people who went with her Last year. Her friends Rita and I. Yep, I was invited last year too. There were a lot of things to do with her and on her birthday, so come and explore about Jasmine Birthday.

We chose some places to go and these ones we went to. The movies first, Mini golf, spaces, Ten-pin bowling, and that about it. We went to the movies to watch Glee 3D. It was Awesome!! Her mum didn't come inside with us so we went in by ourself.

With nothing to blurt out, I couldn't say that we had a dum time, so I would rather say we had a AWESOME TIME!!!! I felt sad because we had to go home. I had a very great time.

Typing is good!!

As you already know what this is, I don't need to tell you. Oh, but I will let you on in a little secret. There are Thirty lessons to go through and I'm only on my sixth one. So good luck getting through all of the and hope you do all of them.

RUGBY WORLD CUP!!!

RUGBY WORLD CUP!!! Can you believe it, country against country. It is going to be wild! All I can think about is RUGBY, RUGBY, RUGBY!! (Not all about it.)

Who’s team do you go for? Well it is interesting because all of the countries are good. But I go for the “All Blacks!” Sorry for all those who feel down, but I go for my home Team. A Plus is that were learning about a whole lot of countries. A minus is almost NOTHING!! One thing that I find interesting is that the Webb Elllis Cup stands 38 cm.

So, when your at home turn your T.v on, and watch the games! Just joking. Just relax! Bye for now and see you next year. Just joking!

One thing that I think is very Cool about this term is that were learning about some of those 20 Countries. A minus is Totally “Nothing!!” Something that I find Interesting is that were learning about the Rugby World Cup.

When I’m learning about the Rugby world cup, I feel Energetic and Alive. I feel that because I’m getting to learn more and more in a single day. How do you feel?

Well, I hope you can come back and find out more. Oh, and it’s about “keep your eye on the ball.” See you later. You can visit another or later!

Keep your eye on the ball

This week was the first week back to school and our Term name is “Keep your eye on the ball.” It means Keep focus on your task. There are 20 countries that are going to the Rugby World Cup and for short R.W.C. We have been learning about some of the countries and one of them are “Canada.”

One of my goals are to keep focus and to get tasks done on time. Another goal is I want to learn more about the 20 countries and find out some facts about it. A plus for this Term is that were learning more about the R.W.C. The thing that I find interesting is that were learning about The 20 countries.

I’m looking forward to this term because I can learn more about the Rugby World Cup and the 20 countries. I am hoping I would discover more in the future. I wonder if there would be any more thing to discover.

I wonder how I will do on my goals this Term. This Term is the term where I will be keeping my eye on the ball and keeping focus in the task I have been given. I will be learning a lot about the Rugby World Cup!

Making Juice

Do you like to make juice? What kind of fruit do you
like putting in your juice? Well, Room 18 made fresh juice.
I'll give you a hint. IT'S YUMMY!!
Hope you enjoy!

Traveling to all sorts of places

Traveling to lots of places can be cool, but there’s a feeling of when you get out of the car you just want to be free can get lots of fresh air. Have you been anywhere but in Auckland? I have. I’ve been to Cambridge, Gisborne, Cape Reina, and other places that I don’t remember.
There are some places that take for hours and hours to get there. Man, when I get out of the car I feel lanky.Do you want to know why? Because those hours were taking to long and when I get out of the car I just want to fall over.
Meeting new family members can be exciting.But when your face to face with them you act shy and its like your your own little friend. When they ask if you want to play with them, say yes so your not your own little friend.
Sometimes you don’t want to leave, but you have to. Sometimes you want to leave but you can’t.Its like a little saying. Hoping we will meet again.

Netball going crazy!!

Over the last few weeks, room 18 have been learning how to play netball with a netball coach called Ema.She has been teaching us some technique of passing the ball, shooting positions, and no stepping in netball. Somethings that I really enjoyed was playing a fun game of netball, learning new technique and getting to know Ema. She is a really cool coach. I enjoyed getting to know Ema because she might be my netball coach next year.
One thing that I really liked to do was to have a game of netball. One of the things that I didn't like to do was NOTHING! Do you want to know why? Because those sessions were the best sessions ever!
Some of the games we played we quite fun but some of them weren’t. There were some exercises that we learnt how to do and one of them was the side walk. That what I call it. The exercises were cool exercises and I really want to thank her for teaching us cool games.
The final session has past and now and I have missed playing a exciting game of netball. Hope we will see again.

Traveling To The Hot Springs And Back!

Was it possible? Were we really going on a trip to Hamilton? Well, I was so amazed by how fast we could get ready!

Can you guess how long it took to get down there? Well, I don’t really know because I had a little catnap while we were on the way. I didn't think it was possible, but the moment I opened my eyes we were at Waingaro Hot Springs. As quick as I could, I hopped into my swimming suit. My eyes were so focused on something else, that I almost crashed into a pole. I followed my eyes. . . where did they lead, but to a wicked, spiralling hydro-slide!!!!

As I got ready to go on the hydro-slide the things that I needed to do was to grab a board, walk up the big hill, and get ready to slide down. Watch out because you might fall out! Do you want to know why you have to watch? Because there are some curvy bits that are to curvy and you might fly out. You don’t want to get hurt, or do you? I didn't get hurt on the hydro-slide only on the second one. The super fast one! You don’t need a mat because if you use a mat you are not going to land in the water. You are going to fly on to the deck. True story!

When I finished on the slide I saw my two Aunties and uncle. When we slid down we all said” 3, 2, 1, go.” We went in a team the second time and we all bumped into each other. After that we did it a couple more times and then went in a pool. There was a little slide for the baby's but we still went on it. We played a game in the pool and it was Jail and run away.It was a game that we made up. When we hopped out we were going to hop on the hydro-slide we saw our family getting ready to eat. “Yummy!!” we all said. Guess why?Because We were having some lunch that was Patty's, bread, salad, and steak.

Also it was the EASTER HOLIDAYS!!!!!! Guess how many Easter eggs I got? 8!! After all those Easter eggs I got sick of chocolate but I still like it.

The day was totally awesome and I had a lot of fun too. The only time that I didn't fun was NOTHING!!!!!!! Do you know why?


If you want to know why come back to read more!
