Today at school we did maths in the morning, we made metre rulers using paper. First you get a piece of paper then you fold it, then you cut it and tape it together. Then if you want you can put the marks on it to show centimetres and millimetres. The next day of maths with our metre rulers we went outside and measured stuff. it was really fun. We measured stuff in the school like balls, wood, metal bars, chair and tables.
I learnt that there's lots of things around us to measure and there are things which are too small to measure.
Last week me and my class did a toolkit. And me and my buddy were chosen to be presenters. So I made a slide show about Sphero. Which is a robotic ball that you drive around , code and play games with. I had to show 24 students at Owairaka school in a room how to use Sphero. So then it was our turn to present to the first we got set up then we started to present I got to drive a Sphero on a ipad to show them. They liked it then my buddy did it on the chrome book. And he drove it around the room.
Then it was the fun bit they got to have sandpit time. They had heaps of fun they directed the Sphero through some mazes. When you walked in the room the Spheros were drifting across the floor, it was crazy. One even went though my legs. Sphero are really fast. Heres how to use Sphero first download the app Sphero play or sphero edu. You will need an adult to sign you up to the app. Then press Drive then a joystick will appear. That's how to control a Sphero. Just move around the joystick.
Now it was nearly time to pack up but we had technical difficulties. With the Sphero charging because they didn't hold a charge the whole time. But I put some on to charge and monitored the Sphero charging . We had to pack up so I put the ipads in the basket and Spheros in the box ready to go back on the hall. It was a fun day I loved it I would love to do it again.
Today at school we made a fortune teller. First we folded the paper in half and then we folded again. When we finished the fortune teller we tried playing it on people. We wrote things like you are a great friend.
Then we made a compliment circle. For this you give a compliment to someone in the circle. We gave a compliment to someone if we had seen them being kind. It is kind of like certificates but You get to say it to that person.
After that we played a fun musical gratitude game. Where you are saying something you are grateful for, something at your house or at school. When the music stops you have to go to the closest person and tell them something you're grateful for.
I felt good after lots of fun work it was a really fun morning.
Anzac Trench
On Wednesday I went to school and there was a crowd of people. and then some one said there is string all over the classes. So when we got let in, the teachers Se id had to be under string for hours. If we went over the string we got shot by a Nerf gun. and we had ten lives or putting your head up above the string. I felt like I was in the war and I would hate to being the war. the soldiers would have been very scared. In in the end of happy to be back on my feet.
On Thursday we had a nice surprise at school. There was an exciting duffy show. It was about the lockdowns last year. Duffy , Sista and their gramma were in the show. My favorite part was when duffy fell down the hole because he didn’t see the hole. The tractor and the audience pulled him out of the hole. My least favorite part was when they were on the zoom call, because it wasn’t funny. We sang the duffy song as well. I really enjoyed the show.
Family fun day
On Friday we had a Family fun day. It was cool because we got to go on Bouncy castle
for a hour, Then we got to go on the other Bouncy castle for an hour. One bouncy castle was a water slide and the other was an obstacle course. My favourite bouncy castle was the obstacle course because I got to race people. Then we got to ride around on the scooters, bikes,Skateboards.Then finally the slip and slide, I zoomed so fast. And we went flyng into the red mats. I felt happy that I came to the great day.
Kia ora last Friday there was an earthquake off NZ. I got alert on my I phone. My mum said we have to go and evacuate, but our car broke down. So me and my family went to the office at the camp ground. The kind manager gave us their car. We went up the hill and there was a police check point.They were making sure that people were doing the right thing. Then they let us go. and we got to the top of the hill .We waited and waited for two hours, then lady took us in her house . We had scones and fruit. Her house was up really high on the hill. After couple of hours we got another alert to say we could go home. So we went to the car and drove back to the camp ground. The alerts were really loud and I was really scared at first because I could see the waves. If we have another Tsunami I would know what to do.
