Beach Art

My Sculpture! 

W.A.L.T create an original Sculpture using objects found on the beach.   

This week been doing are sculpture of the things that we have collected from Spenser park. We first had to take all of the things we needed. The second step was to make a plan on paper and show the teacher. The third step was to put every thing together and show the teacher again. The next step was to use the hot glue gun and glue the places that needed glue. That was it.    

My Sculptures name is: Puss Boots Why I called my sculpture Puss Boots because Puss Boots has a feather on its hat. I put and shell and some feathers and a pine cone to make the body. My inspiration was the shell and feather.

Spencer Park

W.A.L.T Write an information report that informs the audience.

Success Criteria

I know I will be successful when….

• I use an opening statement that explains the subject of the report.

• The opening statement is followed by sentences that describe the event; what you saw, what you did, how you felt, what you learnt.
• Each paragraph focuses on a different aspect of the topic; travelling, the beach, the lagoon walk, playground.
• A general statement about the topic usually rounds off the report.

Here is my work.

Spencer Park

😎

On Friday 10th of March my class and I went to Spencer park. We travelled by bus and car. We took 2 busses and 5 cars. I sat on the bus. There were 7 teachers. I sat with my friend Mikayla. It was loud on the bus. We went in the morning. I was really excited because it was my first time going to Spencer park. 

First, we went to the Lagoon walk. It was a long walk. We saw horses on the way. On the way we saw a big fluffy dog.  It looked excited to meet us. The dog was leading the way. I thought it was the Dulux dog. Half  way on the lagoon walk I was feeling hungry. When we got to the Lagoon spot we went in a hideout to see some cool birds.  There lots of long and small birds. I saw a white and black bird. There were lots of hideouts by the birds. After that we got a snack. When we went back we found lots of feathers.

After the lagoon walk we went back to the playground 5 minutes to play.  I first went on was the rope climbing wall. It was quite big. I went all the way to the top. People were jumping on it so I just went down. The next thing I played on was the flying fox. There were three flying foxes. I went on all of them. Then I went on the wire. We can walk on it. It was scary because there were people that were moving it. I thought I would of full off. The 5 minutes were over.  

Next, we went to the beach. It was a long walk and sand was in my shoes which I hate! When we got there we took our shoes and socks off  and went to grab some shells. It was hard to find shells.  Some people didn't even get shells they just made big holes. After that we did a sandcastle competition. I worked with Ella, Alla and Pame. We had 2 doors, cool rocks and seaweed. The teacher took a photo.  There were lots of other schools Then we went back to put our shoes and socks on and went back to the playground.  I felt happy because I put my feet in the water and it was cold.

When we went back from the beach we ate at the playground. The other groups came and ate at the playground as well. For lunch I had Chicken nuggets. Mmmmmmmmmmm it was yummy. After eating my lunch we could play on the playground. I played on the flying fox. That was the only thing I played on. It was like I was in the jungle because I came out of the bushes and onto the playground It was the last place at Spencer's Park.

Finally, it was time to leave Spencer Park. When we were all on the bus I sat by Mikayla again. I was tired from going to Spencer Park but I was sad as well because it was really fun. Me and Mikayla were playing with are shells. We also made a song “Shells shells shells.”   I explored lots. I learnt lots at Spencer Park. One thing I learnt  was that you have to be very quiet to see the cool birds.   

Maths DLO

Maths DLO!

This week we have been working on a DLO that our teacher had gave us. We had to make a google drawing. We also had to make questions up and show it on a video. Here is my video.  

Sun Facts

Last week my reading group was working on a DLO. It was about the sun. We took information from the website that are teacher had found for use. I am learning to summarise and retell the main ideas. To get important information about the sun. I have read in my own words. I did my DLO in a Powtoon. 

Here is my Powtoon.     

The Present

W.A.L.T:  Write a narrative

Success Criteria

I know I will be successful when….

• The title is suitable for the text.

• The orientation tells who the story is about, and when and where the story happened.
• The complication describes a problem and explains what happened next.
• The resolution explains how the problem was solved.
• Seeks feedback and makes changes to texts to improve clarity and meaning.

In Ako Ngatahi we had to write a narrative about a video. It was about a boy opening a present that was a dog with three legs. Here is the video of the present. I hope you enjoy my story.

The Present

The Present

One sunny day blinds shut I was playing video games. Then my mum came home with a present and opened the blinds. My eyes went bright. Mum said “Open the present that I got you. I looked in the box and there was a puppy. “Cool” I said.  It was light brown and had smooth fur. I saw his paw was broken. I threw it away and started to play my video game again, acting like I did not care.

The dog found a red ball. He bumped into the cupboard and he got the ball. I thought it was a very silly dog. The dog gave it to me and turned its head. I kicked the ball away.  The dog went to catch it but he fell in the box. He tried to get out of the box. I smiled at the puppy. Thinking of how silly he was. Bumping into things he went out of the box.  Thinking of where was the red ball. It was right in front of me. He caught the ball and gave it to me. I smiled and got up on my crutches.

Putting the ball in my pocket. Opening the back door. I said “Mum we’ll be outside. I think this dog is very silly. There is no dog like this. I like him, he's just like me. I think my dog and I will go perfect in the future.

This week we went to the High School and met a man. His name was John Parsons. John Parsons talked about what happens online. Cyber Smart means safe in the internet world. He told us to take power away from people that say things like: What is your number. We had to make a DLO About being safe online. Here is my DLO.
