practical learning

For practical learning last term we sewed our own headphone bag. 

I chose these patterns because I thought they would go good together.

The part I found the trickiest was learning different types of sewing techniques.

The part I enjoyed the most was sowing the letters on.

I am proud of my headphone bag!

 

WIS School Visit

All the year six people went to WIS for a visit.  You could do science, cooking, hard materials or music. I did science, cooking and hard materials. My favourite one was cooking because i love cooking and baking.

In He Puna Kawenga we have been learning about the water cycle. We have been doing things in reading that include water or we do something and talk about water. Here is a picture of one activity that we are doing in class.

Fact or Fiction?

Here are my three paragraphs describing my holiday experience. Can you guess which are fact or fiction?

Water word art

In He Puna Kawenga we have been learning about the water cycle. We have been doing things in reading that include water or we do something and talk about water. Here is a picture of one of the activities we are doing in class. All of the words I used in my word could relate to water. 

Water Cycle

In He Puna Kawenga we have been learning about the water cycle. We did this experiment in a bag(photo at the end). We also put blue food colouring into the water. The water evaporated up to the top of the bag. The pure water separated from the food colouring because the food colouring was too heavy. When we touched the bag it precipitated.  The water collected back to the bottom of the bag.

Evaporation means water gets too hot and turns into a gas.
Condensation means the gas turns into water when it goes into the clouds.
Precipitation is when it rains from the clouds.
Collection means the water collects back to a lake or makes a puddle.

Hockey

In He Puna Kawenga we had hockey practices. We worked on passing the ball back and forth. We also dragged the ball along around cones. We passed the ball back and forth to your buddy. My favourite part of hockey was when we passed the ball back and forth.

Name Symmetry

In maths time we did this thing called name symmetry. Name symmetry is when you write your name in bubble letters on a peace of paper and show symmetry through each line. Here is mine.

This is He Puna Kawenga practicing floating. He Puna Kawenga is having a blast at Swimming time.

Active learning 2019

In room 3 we have been doing active learning. For my group this term we have been doing string art. 

Here is a pic of me and my string art:
I am proud with my finished product.
One thing I found challenging was doing the background with the white string.
If I had to do it again I would do a more challenging picture.

2019 school collage

My 2019 year was amazing I took responsible risks and much more.

Camp Collage

Everyone at Carlton school knows that Room 3 went to Micamp Taupo. Here is a collage of photos.

Athletics Day

WOW!!!! Look how cool it looks. I was mostly scared for the high jump but I did it second. The shot put was so heavy. For shot put you had to push not throw. In the 100 meter run I didn't stop because I said to my self, just keep running just keep running, and it helped me very much. In long jump I tried to not put my foot over the line. On the practice I put my foot over the line. Then on the real one I didn't put my foot over the line. For the landing you had to do a motorbike landing which we learnt at gymnastics. I had a lot fun at athletics day.

Athletics Practice

This is me doing high jump. What we had  to know ,was what leg we use. To find out, we had to fall forward  to find which  leg we put out to save ourselves.  For me I think it was my right leg that I used. In this photo it looks like I am about to do a karate kick.

silhouette art

Here is my silhouette art.
My favorite part was finding a picture and I knew I had to do a unicorn. My friend Jorja helped me with the stars.

Reach Rescue (swimming)

In He Puna Pumanawa we have been learning how to signal for help and save people from the water if they need help. This technique is called reach rescue.

Cross Country

We had cross country on the 3rd of September. Everyone had to sit in there house teams. My Nanny came to watch me. I was so nervous. I was in Puriri (the red house).
When it was my turn, my heart was pounding. My mum said if I get in the top twenty I can get an ice chocolate. When I was finished I was so relieved. My chest was hurting but the drink of water fixed it. Everyone was cheering for their houses. My legs were so sore. Running around the block during practice really payed off and I'm so proud of myself.

Calendar Art

This is my calendar art. I had lots fun making my artwork. I tried to be as creative as I can.
