Wondernana reading task.

Today in room 1 I had a reading task to make a advert for a fictional item called a wondernana. I made a powtoon for my advert. This 'wondernana' was supposed to be bigger yellower and tastier than any other banana. This is my powtoon and I hope you like it. Please leave a comment on my work. :D

Athletics👍

Yesterday and the day before we had the school athletics. First we had the sprints, which I didn't participate in because I have to take 6 months off of running sports. The whole of athletics I was a helper at the ball throw, the only sport I was allowed to do. It was so hot, and by the end of every rotation I was really hot and sweaty. The reason I have to take 6 months off of running sports is because the doctor thinks I have something in my ankle called severes, and after running it hurts. So pretty much I am growing too fast and my ankle can't keep up. On my throw in ball throw I got 29 meters and 60 centimeters. Overall I thought it was fun, but really hot.

Smart media

Yesterday koka Maria came in to our class to tell us more about media. We had to do a set of slides with some questions. We also had to make 2 word clouds for an image that represented what we want to show at school and another one on what we wanted to represent at home. See if you can guess which one is which! Please leave a comment.

A surprising visit...

Today we were just peacefully working and just who would show up suddenly but MAYOR MENG FOON HIMSELF!! Now, you are probably wondering WHY the mayor would just show up, so let me explain. Today we were supposed to have an open day at our awa, Hamanatua stream, but we had to cancel it because of the weather. Meng Foon didn't get the email, so he went down anyway. BUT, we weren't there so on the way back he popped in to see where we were. So yeah, That is probably going to be the highlight of the day! please leave a comment :D.
Here is a class photo of the class and Meng Foon.:

TALENT QUEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday at WBS we had the school TALENT QUEST! I had entered with my friend Angus and together we played seven nation army. Angus played the electric guitar and I did the singing. I really enjoy singing songs that I like, and I like quite a lot of songs. we didn't do the entire song because it would take too long, and we needed the talent show to go quite quick. Overall I think we did a pretty good job, and we did our act nicely. We had quite a lot of practises, which was also cool. I have to admit I was quite nervous! :(. but again, I think we did a good job. :D. please leave a comment on my work :D. Check out Angus's blog here.

My awesome speech!

In term 3 room 1 has been busy writing and finishing our speeches. My speech is about banning plastic bags all around the world. For me I thought my speech was really good and caught the listeners attention and kept their attention. I think other people thought my speech was good as well, because I made it into the semi - finals and from the semi - finals to the ACTUAL FINALS!!!! When I heard that I was in the finals it really made my day. AND I was the only boy from year 5 and 6 to get into the finals. So now I have got to do my speech in front of the whole of nui (My syndicate). So please leave a comment and please, WISH ME LUCK!!!!!

Blog commenting!

This Term we have a buddy class at Blaketown school in Greymouth. We have to learn to make quality blog comments so we can send the quality blog comments to our blog buddy's for each week. This week I got Jai T as my blog buddy and I have already sent him a comment for his work (Jai's blog). A quality blog comment has to have something positive, something thoughtful, and something helpful (and maybe a question). But today we had to get a comment that we had sent to someone and we had to make it even better! The comment I chose was the one that I had sent to Jai.
Please leave a comment, see if you can find the changes that I have made on the comment!

original comment ^

Kia Ora Jai! I am Hunter, your blogging buddy for this week from Room 1, WBS. I liked the way that you told me what you are going to work on for this week. Did you know that we don’t have to do homework? Maybe next time, you could put in a bit more information in such as WHY you want to finish your homework.

Introduction to Blaketown School

This week we have been making introduction slides for our buddy class in greymouth. The school is called Blaketown school, and our buddy class is room 4. They have made introduction slides for us so we have made some for them. The reason we are doing this is to get to know each other and so they know our names. we are doing this thing called Tuhi mai Tuhi atu (translation: I write to you, you write to me) with Blaketown school.

Hi Blaketown School! this is my slide to you guys and please leave a comment on my work. :) :)

Holiday slow write.

Today in room 1 we did a slow write about a highlight of our holiday. On the holidays I went to Rotorua with my family, and we went to the luge while we were in Rotorua, so I wrote mine on that. please leave a comment, hope you enjoy.

“I WIN!”

Woohoo!!

I feel like this will be another win for me on the luge!

I felt bright and warm, completely opposite to the weather. I could almost taste the victory

as I zoomed down the track at a gazillion miles per hour.

Could this be any better?

Quickly closing in  from behind was dad and Amelia!

Could I hold them off for long enough?

Although they passed me, they started creeping towards each other, so I had no time to turn away so

I drove right in between them. bang!!!

It all happened as quick as a flash, Amelia skidded to a halt, and me, being the awesome, fun and

competitive person that I am, I raced into the lead.

“Why is it that whenever I pass Amelia, she gets really mad?” I thought.

Soon after the magnificent crash, I pass the finish line first, and I shout “I WIN!”

Three stars and a wish...

Today in room 1 we made these things called '3 stars and a wish'. The three stars are things that we thought we had done well in this past term. Mine were that I read very thick books, that my writing is awesome because of editing and proofreading, and the last thing was my maths because I am good at area and volume. The wish was something that we want to do best at next term. Mine was speeches because they are next term. This is mine please leave a comment:

Sun, wind or rain

Today I finished a reading task that was called sun, wind or rain. We had to read a book on patterns  that early new zealand settlers could use to predict weather conditions accurately. Then I had to write down what it was called, the pattern, and the explanation. I think that some of the patterns were amazing, including blue cod stones ( blue cod would swallow small pebbles before bad weather) and the white island plume (it would lie flat when there would be windy weather). Me and my family usually watch the weather to see what we will need to wear, and they are pretty accurate but sometimes they are wrong. I find watching the weather ok, but sometimes it's annoying. I also had to do similarities between two different types of clouds. I chose cumulus and stratocumulus. Please leave a comment on my work Thanks!

bullying quote

Learning Intention: I am sharing my thoughts about bullying at

                         school

I chose this quote because I think that every word in this quote is sadly very very true and that it sends out a big, clear message to bully's everywhere.

Room one made a anti bullying chain made of little pieces of paper that had what we would do if someone was being bullied.

These are the things that I wrote to on the pieces of paper were:

when being bullied: KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE!

I could Tell the 'victim' to not believe that absolute RUBBISH!

drawings picture

Today in room 1 koka Maria came in to teach us about searching for images that we can use and that are transparent. So we made some drawings using our skills of searching for images. I chose surfing because I love surfing. I chose the bulldog because I love bulldogs. Please leave a comment on my learning because I like receiving feedback from you:

this year in WBS, room 1 had an opportunity to design new gotcha certificates. A gotcha certificate is what you get when you have 3 gotchas. A gotcha is a piece of paper you get when you have been seen doing good things. I designed these two:

Nui Duathlon

LI: I am sharing some of my ideas, feelings and thoughts on my blog about the

     Duathlon  today!

Success Criteria: It makes sense when I read it I have used capital letters and full stops correctly I have had my blogging buddy check my blog before I publish it

Yesterday at WBS we had our duathlon. luckily It was sunny so we weren't in the rain. I felt nervous at the start of the race because I was afraid I would come last. I was very tired at the end because we had to do 2 laps running, 2 laps biking, and another 2 laps running. but because it was sunny we were all hot and sweaty. I had learned to control your breathing so I tried it and it helped a bit.

book spine poetry

today in room 1 we have made book spine poems. a book spine poem is when you get some books and make their titles into little stories. I made this one:

The books I used for my spine poem:

The moon monsters

Wild animals

13 storey treehouse

The meaning:

The moon monsters were wild animals. When they
came to earth, they landed on the 13 storey treehouse.

Tom Gates- Reading wheel

This week in room 1 we have been making 'reading wheels' about a book we have been reading. The book that I chose for mine was Tom Gates by L. Pichon. On our reading wheel there had to be 6 sectors that were equal in size. Each sector had to be exactly 60° (60 degrees). We had to learn about diameters, right angles, sectors, degree angles, a radius and how to use protractors.

diameter: a diameter is a line that splits a full circle (360°)

radius: a radius is a line that goes from the middle point to the edge of a circle.

protractor:  an instrument used to measure angles.

right angles: a right angle is 90°. there are 4 right angles in a full rotation (360°)
