Year 6 Spark Arena Arts Trip🥀

Year 6 Spark Arena Arts Trip🥀

Have you ever been to a place where you get to try instruments?

Asalaam Alaikum everyone. Today I am going to blog about the Year 6 Spark Arena trip. We left for the trip at 9:00am. We were lucky and grateful that the trip was for free for us. When we got there we got welcomed by Suzy Cato. She welcomed us and introduced us to a man who's name was Brendon Hines. There were 3 places we got to explore on this trip. The 3 places were Van Gogh, Happy Place, and the Sounds Fun place. We noticed that we were not the only school there. There were 2 more schools but only Year 6's. The 2 schools that were there were Royal Road and Linkyn Heights. The first place we got to explore was the exciting Happy Place.

Happy Place!⚽ was where we got to take photos and jump in a deep ball pit and kind of get stuck. We had to go in 4's and jump in when the man says 3, 2, 1 go. I couldn't believe that even the teachers went in. My teacher dived in and was finding it pretty hard to get out. There also was this cookie that had choc chip windows and you had to open them. Also there was a room where it had a bedroom on the ceiling and when you took a photo the bed was on the ground and your were on the ceiling. We also went into the dome that had confetti in it and it also came on me🎊.

Sounds Fun is a hands on exhibition with musical instruments🥁. We went there next. It was a fun time over there. We had a time where we could play the trumpet and make our own songs and sing. 2 people were singing a teachers name (Miss Daly) because she refused to sing😂. There was an opportunity to play a keyboard but wearing headphones🎧. It was crowded with so many posters of different singers in there. It was like a disco🎞. Me and my friend Ayana were getting very hungry. So we ate our snack😋.

Van Gogh was a place where it had art sculptures🎨. We had to sit down and look at all the different paintings and different sound effects. It was very cool seeing all these art's being presented on a projector. We had to sit down for a very long time. After that we went in a room that had yellow bright sunflowers all around🌻. We then had to sadly leave but we got snack's in a brown bag. The vegetarian people got seperate bags but with only a different sandwich. We had time to eat then went back to school.

Here are some photos and videos of the Happy Place

The most hard day in Te Waka Ako!

 The most hard day in Te Waka Ako

Have you ever had to stay outside class until 9:00am?

Asalaam Alaikum everyone. Today I am going to blog about the weird wires. So basically Icame to school and all the blinds were down and the doors were covered in black cloth. The teachers sneakily left some blinds a little tiny bit open so we could see what was inside. All the teachers in Te Waka Ako were wearing black and had 3 strips one each colour on there faces. The colurs the had were red, black, and green. Some people thought that we were playing amongus. The teachers let us in at 9:00am and they told us that we were going to be pretending being soldiers under the trench. We had to do our work based on ANZAC. We started of with maths, then writing, and then reading. It was hard because the teachers told us we had to stay crawling on our knees for the day. We couldn't even put our heads over the wires. The teachers put on sound effects to test how much work we could do while being distracted. Also for the guns they had nerf guns. If we put our head up we get shooted with them. It was fun. Here are some photos and a video of the day.

Here is my drawing and letter

Jonty and Choc 🕮

Jonty and Choc 🕮

Asalaam Alaikum everybody. Today I am going to blog about the book Jonty and Choc. They are trouble makers. We read this book and finished it and then we did a personal response on it. It was a cool story and the author was Vince Ford and there was some funny parts. One funny part was when Choc got a pipe and put some pee in it and Choc put the pipe on Jonty's head and all the pee landed on his head. But one day when they move from Primary to Intermediate Jonty and Choc break up and Jonty finds a new friend Kevin. This is what it is about. Here is my personal response link. We also did the missing words about the book. Here is the link to it. 

Sea Week🌊

Sea Week🌊

Asalaam Alaikum everyone. Today I am going to blog about sea week. During our reading sessions we had a slideshow called sea week. We had different activies related to marine reserves and sea life. After some weeks we finished our articles and stories. At the end of the slideshow when you were done all the slides you had to then create either write a letter to the goverment about what you have learned about marine reserves, or make and inphographic, or make a map showig the different types of marine reserves. I chose to write a letter to the goverment. An intersting fact is that there are 44 marine reserves in NZ. In our letter we had to tell was what they should do to keep marine reserves safe. Here is my slideshow.

Family Fun Day🛴

Family Fun Day🛴 

Asalaam Alaikum bloggers. Today I am going to tell you about family fun day. We had family fun day last Friday. It was so exciting because we didn't get to do this fun day last year. We had to wear our house colours. Also we were split into our house groups. The house groups we have at school are Pukeko-green, Ruru-blue, Kea-red, and last but not least Tui-yellow. There were 4 activities that we had to rotate around. The 4 activities were the wheels, the slip and slide, bouncy water castle, the pool, and the obstacle course. We were lucky because we also got to have a cake sale to fundraise for the school senior camp. I was in the house group Pukeko. The first event my group went to was the bouncy castle waterslide. First we had  to change into our spare clothes that we bought. Next we went to the wheels. I rode a scooter and a bike. Third activity we went to was the pool/slip and slide. Last but not least we went to the obstacle course. We fundraised over 1,000 dollars. It was a hot but fantastic day.

Emergency pack🔦

Emergency pack 🔦

Have you ever had to evacuate from your house?

Asalaam Alaikum everybody. Today I am going to tell you and blog about lockdown No.4 and an emergency pack. So Auckland basically went on lockdown No.4 starting from Monday 8th March 2021. So we had to do online learning. For some reason we got an earthquake warning 3 times. One at 2:00pm at night and then another at 4:00am. This was the earthquake times. We had another warning at 9:00am as well for the tsunami warning. This is why it is very important to have an emergency pack. In our emergency you should have a phone that is charged, food that is (Non perishable), First aid kit, Water, umbrella for shade. These are the things you should have for an midday emergency. If it's only possible.

For a night emergency you should have Torch/batteries, Blankets, Back pack, Water, Wipes or nappies if you have a little baby, Radio, Waterproof jacket, Pack of cards or books about the emergency or you could have travel board games. Fly spray if you need it. These are the things you should have a night emergency. If you haven't packed you better should. My teacher told us how lots of people who eavacuated came to her house.

 

Learning in lockdown!🖥

Learning in lockdown!🖥 

Asalaam Alaikum everyone. Today I am going to tell you and blog about lockdown 4. I was so excited to be going to school on Monday and then I heard the news that we were going back to lockdown 4. So my dad went to school to go and pick up my chromebook. Our teacher made a slideshow for us called lockdown creation and a lockdown diary. I was feeling disappointed because I was going to go to Jellicoe pools with my friends. I was also feeling good because when lockdown is over I get to go to Jellicoe pools with my friends. My favourite activity was writing because it is my favourite subject. Also my favourite family activity was making a obstacle course and racing. I am feeling happy about being back to school and seeing everyboday in person. I hope we do not go back into lockdown.

Here is my lockdown creations slideshow and a link to my lockdown diary and all the things I have been talking about.
