MARAE NOHO!!!!!! :D

Last Thursday and Friday the school went in a visit to Te-Poho-a-Rawiri marae for a overnight stay. We did activities on both days. On the Thursday night nui did our kapa-haka routine, so we could get some feedback on it. I thought it awesome and we smashed it out of the park but that's my opinion. I fin kapa-haka really fun and the activities were fun also. On the first day the activities that I did were: Handball, walking, and these log hand-eye coordination games. On the second day I wasn't feeling well so I don't know what activities my group did. Over all the marae noho was fun and it sucked that I spent most of the second day lying in the shade.

EL4 PICK-A-PATH WRITING!!

A couple of weeks back in a EL4 writing group we were assigned a task to make pick-a-path stories. I have already done a post on this and this one is about the finished product. It wasn't hard to do it but it was quite hard to keep track of all the different parts of the story. It is supposed to be for years 2-3 and I will link the pick-a-path to the post. please give me feedback so I will have time to change it before it is shared with anyone else. The criteria for the pick-a-path writing was:

• Construct a text that shows an awareness of purpose and audience through deliberate choice of content, language, and text form.
• Uses a range of text conventions, including grammatical conventions, appropriately, effectively, and with increasing accuracy.

(I don't even know what conventions are/mean) Here is the link to my google form: My amazing pick-a-path!

Speeches!

Today and in the following weeks MLH will be focusing on writing and sharing speeches! I was in the finals last year but just missed the win. Hopefully I will be able to take it out this year. The topic for speeches is 'Hauora', which is the four parts of our wellbeing. So that covers a LOT of stuff. You can pretty much relate anything to that topic so it will be easy to think of a topic! I have thought about it, and my speech will be about why children should participate in at least 1 sport. I think that because it keeps you active and healthy. It also might change the obesity rates in New Zealand. I haven't started yet but I have lots of ideas for it. It will (hopefully) be AMAZING!!! I hope I win!!! Wish me luck.

Google summit auckland.

So, in my last post I probably mentioned that I was going to Auckland for this google educators summit a couple of times. SO, weh have been, AND IT WAS SUPER AWESOME!!! we stayed in this massive 3-storey house and the google summit was in this super awesome new school that only opened in february this year. I reckon we did a good presentation and I am super happy of how we did. After the google summit we went to the Auckland Museum and then went out to dinner. After dinner we went to this artisan ice-cream makers shop called Giapo and got these super cool ice-creams that you could put on your fingers. After that we went to the observatory on one-tree hill and learnt HEEEAAAAAAAPs of stuff about planets and stars and cool stuff like that. Over all this was a trip I won't forget in a while.

GEGNZ summit in Auckland.

Next week me and seven other people from MLH will be driving up to Auckland to go to this google summit that is happening there. It is an one-day event, which we will be listening to other students of different age present their presentations. There will be students from years 0-13 at the summit and they will all be doing presentations. The one thing I am NOT looking forward to is the 6 hour drive plus stops. We are doing presentations ourselves and our one is about how to use Story Sphere's, Tour Builder, Tour Creator, and Google My Maps. I am doing one on Tour Builder and the topic is Our place, Our journey. That means places that hold significant importance in my life. I am really looking forward to going and it will be super fun! 😁 please leave a comment on my work

Pick- a - path writing.

This week in MLH my writing group has been told that we are going to be doing pick-a-path writing. We will be doing it on google forms and it looks super fun. My topic will be in a post-apocalyptic highway after an atomic war and you will be trying to get back on the safe highway in a car. I got my inspiration from fighting fantasy which are pick a path books but they are just so good. I have 5 fighting fantasy books and my cousin got me onto them. I will try to remember to post the finished product on my blog but I might not remember. I am really looking forward to starting these and we have only started our planning for it.

Mount Cardrona & skiing

On wednesday and Thursday I have been skiing up at Cardrona. I took Two first- timer lessons and one beginners lessons. On the first timer lessons I went up the tunnel magic carpet and then went down Skyline twice. On the next day I went down McDougals for the beginners lesson and then went down it in my free time. It was my first time ever skiing and it is SO fun. I had to hire boots, goggles, skis, and a helmet. The night before we went skiing it snowed really hard and there was lots of fresh, powdery snow. I hope that I can come back one day and do some more skiing. I will see you guys next week! Please leave a comment.
