 We have been doing rotations lately at school they have been fun. Today I was with Mrs. Fraser( Mrs. Kennedy's rotation and we have been doing Paper Christmas  Chain's and Christmas Cards and I have finished mine here it is 

Mrs. Taffee came in this morning and we collected some evidence for our Whetu Crime Scene that happened in the holidays. We know now that she did the crime. She cracked the window on the door because she was in a rush because she thought she heard someone coming so she grabbed some chocolates and tried to open the door but it would not open and then it opened but that is also when she cut her hand on the door so that's why there is blood on the door.  It happened in the holidays in the Whetu team she had to come in to drop somethings off at school and then she really needed an HDMI cable because her computer was struggling to cast. 

  Yesterday we had Athletics.    My favorite event yesterday was Shotput because Mr. Kyle said that we could scream which witch would make the shotput ball would go further and so I scream so loud my first try was 3.17 then when I screamed it was 4.40 so I improved lots.  That was also the easiest event  When I went to the 200m running race event I really had to pee but when I started to run it was all right I didn't have to pee anymore.  The most challenging event was the High Jump because I missed the bar twice, for me it was hard because we had a different mat to what we were practicing on and my legs were sore from running.  The events I went to was Shotput, 100m running race, Long Jump, High Jump, 200m running race.   My learning powers the I used were Courage because I was very proud of myself for having fun and actulay trying and getting through the day. It was a good day

This week for  Blog Challenge  was to do write about Police Officer. When I am older I would love to be a police officer. I chose 2 things to be if I were going to be a Police Officer I would either be a Traffic Police Officer or a police officer that goes to schools and talks about Police Officers.

 So since the crime, we have done some thinking and we have made a People Of Intrest list and now we have crossed some people. Today we have been doing fingerprinting so here is a picture of my fingerprints. I had so much I hope I will be able to be a police officer when I grew up it takes about 8 weeks to train to be one. Yes, I have already done research at the age of 10 I when start to train around the age of 18.  

 On Friday our teachers come to school and then they organized something. then they went home and relaxing until school on then we all came back on Monday and there was tape on the deck and in the class? What happened was there was a broken vase and a broken window on the door there was also Milky Way Chocolate scattered all over the floor. There were footsteps on the ground and a Drivers License. Someone also left a Coffee and there was spilled liquid not sure what it is and there was a tissue with some blood on it and there blood everywhere like on the door and the floor and also by the broken vase. Here is a link to some slides of me trying to figure out who did this???  They are not finished?       

Since the holidays have started my Nana has been looking after us and on Friday's she goes back to her house in the Thames and I came home with her on Friday I am staying until Monday morning.  We took this last night we r having so much fun.

 This week for Chapter Chat I did a new book cover for the Book wink. Here it is. I tried my best with the guitar and I could not think of anything else that I could drw or write bc I suck at drawing. I am ruff time at school bc my great aunty that was so funny and so nice passed away a couple of weeks away and I think my cat has passed away aswell bc we have not seen her in about a year or 2. 

  This is the Mystery of the winning astronaut and I got Hugo Cooper.  I worked by myself and it was super fun. When I did some questions some were easy and some were hard.   This is My Missing  Moji and I worked with Izzy. We got 😇😇 the angel. The questions were easy and hard at the same time we got stuck with a question that said to petition something and we had t6l ask what it meant. 

 For this Mystery, I worked with Maia and Izzy the answer that we got was Hanna. 👍 We think we got the answer right. We had loads and loads of fun. 

 This week is te wiki o te Reo Maori is where we do lots of Maori things and learn Maori things words and other things like that. Here is my Challenge with a word. My word that I chose was Kia Manawanui it means to be patient.  Kia Manawanui

 This week I joined the cooking workshop and we made soup.   On the first day, we had to work out what to bring, We also had to learn and go over the rules in the kitchen. On the second day, we had to bring the veggies and prepare for the soup and chop the veggies. On the third day eat the soup. Lots of people loved it like my best best best best friend Shirley and Haven. But I did not really like it I am not a really big fan of soup.  What Veggies Did We Put In The Soup? We put red cabbage, Onion, a lot and lots of herbs and spices and Pumpkin and loads more veggies.

Every week we have a worksheet from Ms. Mac I have finished mine for today and I am not sure when we get different I think it is called a subject? Because right now we are learning to use three-digit numbers of 10 and 100. It is really fun and I like to challenge myself with Maths will anyway that is what my Family and Teachers say. Here is my Worksheet     

 This week for Chapter Chat I did Sarah holding her Skateboard and I really enjoy doing chapter chat again and if u do not know we are reading the book Wink. In the book there is a guy with cancer his name is Ross and lately he is learning how to play gatair and he was looking at a girl something like that and then he took off his beanie and some of his hair come out in front of that girl and he was so embrassed because he liked that girl. Anyway here is my picture for chapter chat

  My Report    This is my research on red pandas and I really enjoyed the research on red pandas. Red Pandas are relative to a giant panda even though they are not even that big. Red Pandas can have 1 to 4 babies a time. Their babies are called cubs so there babies are like lion cubs but they look so different.  

  My Freedom Writing Doc My Freedom Writing Doc is where I write things like stories. I am Doing My Number of the day and Maths Mahi. I am doing on my freedom writing doc because I have hurt my really bad. 

 This term we had to do a reflection about workshops for this year and it was such fun!!!! Whetū Workshops Reflection During Term 2 and 3 the Whetū students have had the opportunity to be involved in a range of different workshops.   The workshop that I have enjoyed participating in the most has been there are a lot of choices so Dancing with Mrs. Fraser, origami with Ms. Mac, and Rad Rythm with Ms. Mac.  The new learning that I have learned is how to dance and playing music with other kids and with buckets instead of proper a drum kit and always wanted to learn how to make origami  What I have most enjoyed about the workshops are Dancing and playing music.   I am interested in learning more about dancing because it is really fun and enjoyable. 

 This is my Art for this term and I really enjoyed doing this piece of art and I hope the other ones are good as well. The type of art was pop art. I found that the hardest was making this blog post because I only have 1 hand to use? 

 This week for Literacy Rapu we did how stole Mr. Mcgregors carrots and I worked with Maia. The hardest part was trying to figure out the clues because sometimes it can be really hard but we did it. Metaki (Thank you in Rarotongan) Maia for helping me  Our Answer Was Cotten Tail   

This is my NOTD if u do not know what it means it means Number of the day. Today I did the number 83 and sometimes I do the hundreds. ///////  

This is my Inquiry for this term and I think zoos are good for animals because they get lots of food and they can live longer only if they do not hurt themselves. Otherwise, I think zoos are good for animals.    There are a lot of animals that have to get put down at the zoo because they are either sick they have hurt themselves.  I also think that zoos are good for animals because the animal at the zoo get a diet if they are really big meaning fat and if they are not on a diet they will either get a feed or find there own food and water but there is always food in their little thing that they can a little nap in a hide in.  We could either do an Ad or a Poster or a Brouchre I chose to do a poster 1. Animals should be in zoos so they can get feed and they can not get hurt by there animals that they hate or do not like and those animals do not like them!!!! 2. Zoos are good because if we go to zoos we can see the wild animals in the zoo so we do not have to go to other places and visit

 On Thursday we had Cross Country we had to run or walk 2 big laps and 1 small lap. We did it at the Ngatea Domain Bike Track. The Challenging part was trying to past people when they passed you. I am not sure what place I come because I quit on my 2nd lap because I was struggling to breathe.  I am still proud of myself though for actually doing it. We had to do it at the Ngatea Domain Bike Track we usually do it at South Farms    

  This is my Chapter Challenge for term 2 and week 4. My favorite part is probably the colors of the words.   The hardest part was trying to find the pictures. The easy part was typing the research.

The new learning activity that I have enjoyed the most this term is The Options because there have been lots of different ones and weird ones and TT rock stars because it is challenging and Studyladder Because I like to work, read and write. Something that has challenged me this term has been probably working in lockdown because the teacher was not around me to help me do my work. The Whetu Challenge I enjoyed the most was the Catulpt Whetu challenge because I won for the farthest Catulpt and it was really fun. The opt-in workshop I enjoyed the most was art because my Tapa cloth is really cool and I think drawing is really relaxing and I like sharping my tapa cloth it is so relaxing and the smell of sharpie An aim I have for my learning is Supernova or a shooting star but I think most of my work has been Shooting star and some has been A simple star but not much has been A SuperNova. Try my best to do things and ask questions if I need help or I am stuck.

This week Whetu Challenge was we had to make something to do with making or using egg carton's I made SpongeBob's home. The Things I use were Red, Green, and Purple Paint blue Card felts and string.   My favorite part was painting the colors. My non-favorite part was not finishing it. What I needed to finish was gluing the mushrooms to the green Grass.

THE MURDER IS THE AMILIA

This is my Whetu Challenge Plan I am going to make mushrooms growing on grass by Using Paint Red,White, Brown and Green. For the Storks they are going to be the cardboard from the egg carten. and for the grass is  going to be the egg carten too

This word of the week I decided to do Mussels and bardgers.

For my number of the day today I was doing up to 16 then I had to stop because it got hard. So I only did 14 because 15 and 16 were pretty hard.

This week I made a Kitchen, Bathroom, Lounge, and Kids Bedroom With fairy lights. My Favourite slide or part about the Kids bedroom there is two things The teepee and the toy box.  The Kitchen probably the bath and shower cause there are so big. The Lounge I love the big Coffee Table. The Kitchen I have to say the lights are pretty awesome.

Whetu Challenge - Paper Planes Today our challenge was to design an accurate paper plane. We were given a draft piece of paper to trial and a good piece to use once we had tested the accuracy of it. Before we started I thought this challenge was going to be easy but it turned out is was HARD as. I decided to use the design as two different colors on each side. The one I use out of Standard or Javelin I use Standard The hardest part was trying to get it into the Hanger and getting points. Making it I think it was probably making sure it was even on each side During our competition time, I managed to score 5 my plane was not the best maybe it was shy

Party Animals Video 11 mins long  I found this video on national geographic That is 11 mins long it is really cool. It is about animals and sea creatures Enjoy the video
