Hello!

On Friday, the year 6’s went to Westland High School for Orientation day. To look around the school and see what it’s like.

[7I also got to see all my friends who used to go to Kaniere School.

We did science, cooking, art, drama, and PE. My favorite was PE because it wasn’t schoolwork.

Then at lunch I played rugby with my older friends for a bit, then we had to go back to the main room, and then I went home at 2:30

Also got to see who was in my class next year, I had Max A, Max M, Kobe and some other people

Bye…

What’s your favorite subject at High School?

Hi…

This term, we have been doing a big piece of writing. But it’s on paper, It’s called “The Boy with his book”

Here is the first bit.

It was a bright sunny day, sitting under a bright tree with orange leaves, falling off little by little, there weren’t many leaves left at all.

Under the tree was a little boy was facing the lake he loves swimming in!

His lake he loves is clear because its coming from a river nearby, he was sitting under the tree because he liked the smell of the oak wood.

Do you like writing?

Kia Ora!

This week on Wednesday, we went to the High school for a talk about smoking and vaping, and why you shouldn’t vape if you have not started smoking.

They had 2 pigs’ lungs, one black and hard to blow up, then the other one was normal and was not hard to blow up. Also they said the people that are

                                   FACTS

vaping never smoked. The stuff in vapes are used to cool cars down, and the nicotine is in a plant to kill bugs

Do you know what’s in vapes and how bad it is?

Hi

We have been painting rocks with pictures on them. We are going to put our values on the back of them so that we can put the rocks around the school and hide them, and the kids can find them and learn the values and what they mean.

One of my values is Tauatio and to show that is by picking up rubbish and stuff on the ground to care for the environment.

How could you show Tautaio?

Hello!!!!!!

The Production is in week 9, and I am doing the costumes for some people. I’m doing 2 costumes for the 2 Posseums the people helping me are LUKE AND LOUIS!, then 3 for the triplits WITH LUKE AND LOUIS, also I am a set and props, and I have to decorate a table and a sign. Then me LOUIS AND LUKE are doing light/sound for the show that is the second most important because if you play the wrong sound, the show is wrecked

Weaving Art!!!!

Last term, we did weaving art. First, you had to draw your picture with pastels, then cut lines in the paper, and I did a whale tale, and then weave skewers in the picture, and it looks better with the skewers

This year, for camp, almost every year 6 and year 5 went there. The first day we all found out what our cabins looked like, they all looked the same. But some were twisted around in different ways. Then we started our first TOP TEAM challenge, but I split my lip on the first day. Besides that, in the afternoon we had our first swim in the lake, there were 2 slides and a jumping platform, and it felt scary at first, but it started to get better.

On the second day, we had our first breakfast at camp, you could choose from toast or cereal, then we had our first activity, we had low ropes first.

You had to balance on a rope, but you could hold on to the sides so you wouldn’t fall. i forgot the rest of the week, but I remember the aqua park it was really fun and slippery and very cold water!

Have you ever been to Bridge Valley before?

For art this week, we did prospective art. Prospective art is 2d art that’s supposed to look like 3d art. This is what it looks like.

Do you know how to do this kind of art?

Harold talked about foods and what they do to your body and foods that we can eat sometimes and all the time.

Once he showed us all the light colours and the stars, we watched some videos that told us about a healthy diet!

My favorite part was the stars and all the lights.

Did you know? Your brain controls just about everything you do, even when you are asleep.

Your skull is actually made up of 22 bones that are joined together.

First week back, we did something called snowball writing. To do it, we need to write the first bit of the story then screw it up and throw it at the same time as everyone else, then pick a random one up and write the middle of whoever you just picked up, then do it again and write the end to finish it all off.

Nothing went wrong until…

One day of school, a guy named James came to his class and found out hes going on school camp. He was happy. James was happy until he found out the camp was haunted. There were ghosts, 2 legged pigs, and Black shadow figures. James was terrified he wanted to run back home, but he couldn’t so he hopped on the bus. When he arrived, Someone started chasing him with a chainsaw. He was cornered, but he farted and it pushed the guy back with the chainsaw and killed him and made a hole not just in his pants but the world
