What I Did During The Holidays

What I Did During The Holidays

Have you ever been Ice Skating? Well I have. Twice! Today, I will be sharing with you what I’ve done in the holidays. In the holidays, I went Ice Skating with a few friends and their family. I woke up at 8:30 in the morning to get ready and walk to Myat’s house. Myat is my friend who invited me to Ice Skating. I wore a dark blue jacket, black cozy sweatpants and a white shirt that had summer printed in black.

After I got ready, I walked to Myat’s black and orange two story house. While I was walking through the silent neighborhood, I heard noises. “Woof woof”. I spotted two dogs circling around the street. One black and one ginger. I got scared and turned to walk the other way but the two dogs went to the park on the other side of the street.

I noticed Myat and her two other friends waving at me through her bedroom window. I smiled and waved back. I knocked on the navy blue door. “Knock knock”. My friends giggled while they opened the door because they saw what happened with the two dogs. 

We played graveyard while waiting for our three other friends which felt like forever. When they finally arrived, we were all split into different cars because there were too many people. I was in a car with Myat’s brother, his girlfriend, and my two other friends. The car was very fun! We listened to music and beat the other car even though we left 10 minutes after them.

When we arrived at Botany Ice Skating, we went inside and paid for the tickets. For one child was $15 and I had $20. Myat’s brother said that we would pay as a family so it would be cheaper so I handed him my $20. He never gave me back my change.

When we entered the rink, it was freezing cold! There were lots of people and colorful lights hanging from the ceiling. I went to get my skates and my right one was too tight and I had to deal with it for the whole hour. My ankle hurt. 

I stepped on the ice and wasn't really confident so I held onto the rail for the first 10 minutes. Then I skated in the middle and went around in circles for the next 50 minutes. I fell on my butt three times. It hurt. It was really hard to get up since I was in the circle without the rail. One of my friends fell on the ice into a split. It was super funny.

I really had a good time and enjoyed Ice skating with my friends.I hope I can go there for my next two week holidays.

Cybersmart, Learn, Create, Share, World

Today in cybersmart, we played a online game about being safe online.

Miss Collins asked us to make a poster about Cybersmart, Learn, Create, Share and World.

She also asked us to balance out the pictures and words out.

Here is the poster that I have create during our cybersmart lesson.

Kawa Of Care Slide Show

Today, I have finished my Kawa Of Care slide show that I have created.

Hello (again) Te Ohu

Hello Te Ohu! In Room 10, we have been writing letters to our principal Mr Herlihy, asking if we could access a site called "Google Meet" to call you guys and learn about what we are doing in each others schools. We were thrilled when Mrs Wrack agreed with us.

Room 10 has also been doing something called Water Cycle Animation. Water Cycle Animation is when you make multiple slides and make your character move like some kind of cartoon.

We have also been making dioramas for our endangered animal clay to live in and painted our clay too. We are trying to be creative and using cottons and twigs to make trees.

Wednesday 20 March

Dear Madam,

I was wondering if Room 10 could use your clay oven to dry our clay
we made. Our topic was endangered animals and our teacher Miss
Chand asked us to choose a endangered animal and make it using clay!

Thank you,

Tracey.

Water Cycle

Hello Te Ohu.

Hi Te Ohu! I am your buddy from Glen Taylor School. In Room 10, we have learnt about endangered animals and plastics! We are making clay and a diorama about the animals habitat. In Glen Taylor School we have something called Culture Festival. Culture Festival is something we do at our school where we dance up on stage in the group that we wanted to be in. What are you doing at your school?

Endangered Animal - Writing

Shipwrecked

Shipwrecked

Once upon a time in a far far away land, there was a mystery place where

there were no creatures and absolute silent. All there was were clouds, a

dark shadow, a rocking ship and a rocky type of mountain. One evening,

when sunset came, there was a unknown human and it’s crew.

The humans came walking on the ice coming towards the rocking ship.

They went inside the ship and stole treasure that wasn’t even theirs and

without permission. Suddenly, they heard a noise coming from the other

side of the boat. It was Emily! Emily was the owner of the ship and was

in the legend named the Mystery of the Missing Boat. The legend goes

like this. Back in 1984, there lived a girl who owned a ship. Her parents

gave it for her 16th birthday. This ship has been passed on by generation

to generation and started from Emily’s great, great grandmother. One day,

Emily’s cousin Katelyn came to visit her with her crew. But, you have to

understand one thing, Emily and Katelyn didn’t get along very well. When

They were both 16, when Emily got her first ship, Katelyn became very

jealous of Emily because she got a ship and Katelyn didn’t. From that

day on, Emily and Katelyn began fighting about everything, even the

Things that aren’t even that serious. Katelyn decided to get her revenge.

She decided to bring her crew with her and steal Emily’s stuff.

Katelyn and her crew went inside the ship and stole all of Emily’s special

things that meant alot to her. When Emily came back, she noticed that

there were people in her ship. She ran up to her ship as fast as she could

and noticed that her cousin Katelyn was there with her crew...

Student Led Conference

Today, my parents came to see if I am doing well with my learning 

and what I am struggling with. I was showing my parents what level 

I am on in reading, writing, maths and spelling. My dad was really 

proud of me and I was really proud of myself too! I also told my parents 

what Fire and Ace was. After I showed my parents about my learning, I 

asked Miss Wrack if we were finished and she replied with a funny joke 

but I forgot what it was. Then I went to the juniors playground and I walked 

around and talked with my friends while my parents were waiting in the 

car for me. 

Solar System

There are eight different types of planets in the solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Other objects of matter in 

the solar system are the dwarf planets. The solar system formed around 4.6 billion years ago and it includes the Sun and all the objects that orbit around it due to its gravity.

Venus is often called the Earth's sister because they both are almost the same size and have about the same mass. Venus also rotates backwards compared to Earth and the other planets. It is named for the Roman goddess of love and beauty and is the second largest terrestrial planet. Venus is the third brightest object of Earth's sky and the second planet from the Sun.

There are five different dwarf planets in the solar system, they are Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, 

Makemake and Eris. The other dwarf planets are found in the outer solar system. The largest 

dwarf planet in the solar system is Pluto. Pluto  is named after the Greek god of the underworld

and was discovered on February 18th, 1930 by the Lowell Observatory.

I chose the solar system for my report because I think that there are lots of interesting facts about 
the solar system. I think I now know lots of information about planets and the solar system.

Taking Flight

Dad took Tony to Grandpa’s because he had some very important business to finish. Tony felt upset because he didn’t want to stay at Grandpa’s, he wanted to spend more time with Dad. Dad also promised Tony that he would play with him. Dad dropped off Tony at Grandpa’s. When Tony got out of the car, he saw Grandpa. Grandpa was old, tall and he had grey hair with wrinkles. Dad got back in they car and drove to his unfinished business. “Now you sit here while I moan the grass.” said Grandpa. Tony got really bored so he laid down with his teddy. Then he found an old, rusty picture of Dad when he was a kid in a wagon with Grandpa standing nearby. He stacked boxes on top of each other to reach the picture. Then everything fell on tops of Tony. Grandpa suddenly heard a big BANG!!!!!! He walked towards Tony and was very shocked! He gazed at the wagon and the picture of him and Dad. It gave him back old memories when they used to go on super fun adventures together. Grandpa decided to do it again but with Tony. They went to a waterfall and an air plane. Dad got back and Grandpa’s house and saw him and Tony with a big mess. “Why are you two so messy?” he asked. Dad also looked at the old picture of him and Grandpa with his wagon. “Is that my wagon?” Then they all went on an adventure together.

Making Playdough!

Today on June 1st, We had Ms Wrack come over to Room 10. First, Ms Wrack put us in to to 3 different groups. Then after morning tea, we went to the staff room and put all the ingredients on the counter. Each group had a turn to make play dough! There were different kinds of play dough recipes. 2 of them were the same ingredients but poured differently and the amounts were different. I felt really excited standing around the counter because I've never made play dough before! Today, I learnt about measurements! Miss Litchfield then came in the staff room and asked me to go in the library because I had to do a test. When I came back, I joined my group and we poured the ingredients in a bowl, then Ms Wrack put it on the stove and we mixed then played!

Culture Festival

29-03-18

Last week, we had our culture festival. First, we put on our

uniform and Miss Faalili did our hair and makeup. Then we

watched our parents arrive to our school and sat down on

the chairs. The girls and I went to the bathroom to see what

we looked liked and agested our lavalava because it was

falling down and we didn’t want that to happen on stage.

Then, the Samoan group lined up and went down to the field.

Then Mrs Wrack and the house captains introduced our family

to our first ever 2018 culture festival. After the announcement,

All the groups went on the stage and danced. After the Pacifica

Pearls went up, the samoan group went up on stage and was

getting ready for our girls dance. Then we did our school sasa

and our parents and family members were cheering for us. After

Culture Festival was done, Myat and I got our shoes and her sister

Picked us up and we went back to her house.
