2021 student led toolkits

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.

Wellbeing with Miss McGrath

 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.  

 On Thursday my class went swimming. We had to get on the bus to go to Cameron pools. When we got there first we got changde. Then we got in the pool it was chilly. Then it soon became more  warm. Then my swimming  teacher said its time to do strokes, after that we did streamline and back strokes. we had to float and look at the ceiling with out tummies up Then it was time to go back and we got out the pool and on the bus back to school. 

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.
