last week was school holidays and in the school holidays it was anzac day so at school we had a writing task where we had to write a letter to someone saying why we shouldn’t go to war . But their name had to be an old name that lots of men had back in the olden days this is my letter to Jim. It was like writing but we had to make a letter.

Dear Jim

Thank you for your detailed letter but i’m not going to war. You can go ahead and go to war and spend years or days in the army but i’m sorry i can´t go in war i’m only 32 I don´t want to give my life away when im 32 that’s to young for me, your 43 I believe you can survive in war I only have 1% chance of living in the army. Have a great time in the army Jim i’m just scared i might die i’m also terrified of seeing people die imagine how gross it would look like, and the sound of bombs gun shots would make me death.

If you do join the army i wish you luck. From : Gerald

that’s my letter that I write,

Have any of your family members gone to war before?

 

 

This is another activity I got from the autumn learning journey my activity was to go on this sight

called pixels and design or draw a poppy. It is pretty hard to use this sight because sometimes it gets

out of hand or it gets messy and hard this is my poppy I drew. If you want to try out this sight this is a link to the sight , PIXLE.

During the holidays we have the Autumn leaning journey activities It’s all so fun to do one  of my activities was to use song maker and make a song that reminds me of autumn I wasn’t sure how to use screen casterfye but I did manage to record it  I also  took a screen shot of my music it was really hard trying to find a perfect part for my music and if you want to try it out here’s the link Song Maker

last week we had school camp to Living springs it was only for the year five and six, we went to school camp on Monday then came back on Wednesday. We had car groups I was lucky I was with my friend during the car drive my car parent was Simon Brown we drove to Governors Bay,  that’s where we started walking, we walked from Governors bay to the camp site the walk was probably 2 hours it was very long, mostly the boys were complaining about the heat and how long it was but we did get maybe 2 or 3 breaks we first had a break at Governors bay that’s where we first had our break .

There was a little playground with a slide and 4 swings so lucky we got to have a play on the slides and swings while we were waiting for the others to finish eating we got a bit of extra play too. Me and my friends took turns on the swings we had a challenge against the boys who could jump the longest off the swings or jump the highest off the swings or go the highest on the swing. Whenever I jumped off the swing I’d go high but land on my but. It kind of hurts but it was still fun,I think the girls won the challenge, we had a girl at half time take us through the walk to the camp site.

We first had maybe 1 hour or a half a hour walk to the living springs farm we got to go on a fantastic ride on a tractor to around the farm it was bumpy fun scary we got a good view of the hills we were behind the hills anyways but we were  also on top of the hills cause that’s where the living springs  was on a hill we got to feed a rare reindeer and also got to feed a goat and a couple sheep’s maybe 8 or 5 I don’t know as good, there was 8 parents at camp so there was 8 car groups and 8 groups. We couldn’t feed the pig because she or he would bite us and we also couldn’t feed the rooster because it would poke us.  After we gave food to the animals we got to see cubs and cows there was a really big cow that was a dairy cow its name was Evie a girl, cow.

The surprising part about Evie is that shes only 13 years old and she doesn’t give milk any more and she is a grandma at the age of 13,I think she has 4 or 3 or 2 cubs i’m not sure,we got to pat Evie and feed her cubs milk that was the fun part. I think it was another hour walking to the campsite it was very tough walking up the giant hill. I stopped for water maybe like 5 times.  At the same time it’s a good workout As soon as we got to the campsite we had snacks we got to eat watermelon,oranges,pineapple,apples, and some  cake. Then we got to the hardest part making our tents we got an adult to help us it was Simon after setting up our tents me and my friend decided to decorate our tents like make our tents clean and hanging some things up. After decorating I had to set dinner up because there’s groups that have to do the dishes and to set up the dinner tables we had a little dinning area where we can eat in door, we also had a perfect vein of the sunset sunrise and the rivers also the other hills luckily I brought y camera so I could take pictures of the view.Then at night we did a activity where we were blindfolded and had to hold on to the rope we had groups and a parent that told us what to do.

For dinner on Monday we got to eat burgers and I immediately realised I ate a cow when I just gave milk and patted a cow.  This is all we did on Monday.

Tuesday

Tuesday morning for breakfast we ate toast with some jam or butter and some other toppings with the toast. We had other choices too, then we got free time so I played touch and football with my friends and a couple boys that were very annoying. Once we finished eating we got changed some people got changed in their tents and some people got changed in the public toilets, after all that we had a whole bunch of fun activities, first we  went indoor swimming then we had archery where we shot arrows at targets after practising we got to have a match where we went against other groups it was fun because we had competitive music at the same time. Then we had a long hike of counting stairs once we were going down the stairs it was basically like counting steps when walking down  counted 123 steps and so did my teacher and when we had to say our guess 123 was the Right guess. Then after that we had a obstacle coarse to do with our group it was fun there was a spider web one where you can’t touch the lines and once someone has gone through the spot no one else could use it.

then we had a tier one I forgot the rules then we had a toxic river activity where we couldn’t touch the ground so we had to swing across the square on a  rope. we had more tasks but I forgot the rules to them so it was an obstacle course, after that we went rock climbing it was indoor rock climbing but it was really fun because we didn’t have the harness on so we jumped on to something like a mat that was squishy, we did some games where there were sharks and fishes 2 adults were sharks and all the kids were fishes so when the instructor call shark-attack we had to climb the wall but if we were still touching the mat that means the sharks could eat us. after rock climbing we had our last activity we got to go on the monorail it was fast and fantastic me and my friends got to go twice because we were  the ones that brought the seats up most of the time we also named us the original group.

For lunch we had fruits and Nachos it was so yummy, for our Monday dessert we got  a chocolate mouse with some ice cream then for Tuesdays desert we got ice cream. 

WEDNESDAY

Today was our last day and we got the same things for breakfast,then we had 1 activity that was a bit similar to the obstacle coarse but there were riddles and some games that went with it. after that we got to eat mac n cheese it was so yum that I put it in a cup with a plastic glove around it. we got free play after so then I played basketball with a dad and my friends it was girls against  boys it was a little bit hard. then it was home time so we drove all the way back to school My car group was Kiara,Lucas,Theo, and the adult was Simon. on the way back in the car we played would you rather until we got to school.

Have you ever been to Living Springs?

did you do the same things we did?

 

This week we have been learning about Waitangi day we had story’s about Waitangi day we had a board of ideas of things we could do for Waitangi day me and my buddy Kiara chose to do a quiz about Waitangi day.

We could do the quiz on a slide show or a blooket my friend Despina did her Waitangi day quiz on a blooket, Me and my other friend Kiara did our quiz on a slideshow . Creating the quiz was really hard because me and my friend decided that when they thing this is the answer to the question the person

would have to press the ticks. And if it was not the correct question there would be an incorrect picture that would have a link back to the same question but if it was the right answer the person would press the picture

and it will send them to the next question. So we had to put lots of links to each question but we did enjoy it once we were done, it was  really good.

Have you ever created your own Waitangi day quiz?

 

 

 

on the last week of school Room 1 my class was so lucky that our teacher let us have a game of dodge ball it wasn’t any kind of game it was a dodge ball Tournament. There was people catching defending attacking and we also got to create T-shirts on pieces of paper, My dodge ball team was called unicorns we couldn’t come up with any better team names so we got unicorns. there was 5 teams with 6 or 5 players the team names are

A-team, Golden-team, unicorns, Da best, Lil g,

The people in my team are Nixon,Isa,Cataleya,Zara(me),Jack I had a pretty great team but now were going into the semi finals we need to vs all different teams so that we could vs room 2 because there doing semi finals to.

Today (4.12.2023) I was doing the summer learning journey. I had a look at the kick in tasks and chose to do the super hero task where we had to use craiyon. Craiyon is an app that you can go on and search for any creative image that is generated from AI, (Example dragon that can make anything out of fire) 

craiyon is such a creative app to use it was a very fantastic,fun app to use. Here is a link for you to use if you want  https://www.craiyon.com/.

I Registered from Manaiakalani, This is my super hero’s origin: when someone makes her sad,annoyed,mad she turns into a dragon her powers are she can do anything with fire only she can turn  invisible and has telekinesis. her weakness is water she gets stronger when she gets more annoyed shes a super hero. she got her power because of a test a very old man tested people in public so that he could give someone kind and trust worthy enough to have the special miraculous because the man has a Miraculous box that hold a special secret that no one can know only he can. the test was to see who would help him when he was pretending that he can’t cross the road the person that help him pass the road would get the one and only strong miraculous.

what would you be if you had to come up with a creative idea?

what should I add next time?
