Having a special Olympics day!🎌

Having a special Olympics day!🎌

Asalaam Alaikum everyone. Today I am going to be blogging about having a special Olympics day. So the teachers in the senior syndicate thought we should have an Olympic day since we have been learning about the Olympics in reading. We all were put into teams of four or five. All of us had different countries that were in the Olympics. My team had the country Morocco. Each team had to have a flag bearer. I was the flag bearer of my team. The flag bearers just needed to hold the flag when they go to each game. We also had a clipboard. Each team had to rotate around 9 different games. The 9 games were stack the cans, Rubber chicken, target throw, Ballon badminton, Gumboot throw, Egg race, Frog jumping, We stick together and human quites. In the end, we had to give in our clipboards and the teachers had to count and add our numbers altogether. We finally got our results back and my team came fourth. I was still happy for Jamaica because they were in first place with 64 points. In second place was Turkey. In third place was Cuba.

Creating Olympic DLO💻

Olympic Ancient from then and now💻 

Asalaam Alaikum everyone. Today I am going to be blogging about my reading DLO. DLO stands for digital learning object. We were working on the Olmypics for the past few weeks. We had to focus on one question about Olympics and find information about it. My focus question was 'How have the Ancient Olympics changed to the modern?' After we had collected all the information we had to make a DLO. I used Book Creator to show my learning. Book Creator is where you can make books of any kind. My favourite part was when we could choose what kind of DLO instead of the teachers telling us what kind of type we had to do. We were learning about summarising and synthesising. We also had a success criteria that we had to follow. Please comment on my blog and tell me what I will need to work on next time. 

Here are some photos of my Book Creator I have started but it is not finished yet.

Going to Molley Green🍀

Going to Molley Green🍀 

Asalaam Alaikum everyone. Today I am going to be blogging about Molley Green. On Friday 30th July a small group of students went to Molley Green to move some mulch (bark). The reason why we had to go is because the council had to put it near the bridge because the truck couldn't go in. It was very very muddy and all our shoes got heaps of mud on it. We had to get spades and wheelbarrows. Also it was very strange but we took a wheelbarrow with us and put all our lucnh boxes and drink bottles in it. It was hard work and it was also sunny. Some people had to take some gardening pots and put some of the mulch around the small trees that were growing. We got half of the mulch to the other side were it was safe. At the end we were lucky enough to get a little play on the playground. We were there to build a coommunity fruit forest. Hopefully in a couple of year we will be eating lots of fruit that we helped to plant. Please comment on my blog and tell me what I need to work on.

What I have learned about the Olympics 🥇🥈🥉

What I have learned about the Olympics🥇🥈🥉

Asalaam Alaikum everyone. Today I am going to blog about what I have learned about the olympics. This past two weeks Te Waka Ako (syndicate)  were learning about the Olympics. We watched the games everyday at the time of the racing. We had to do a slideshow based on some badges and then choose one of them that we don't know about and find information about it.  I learned and chose  Equestrian (Horse riding). It was fun doing the slideshow. There are three values of olympics. The values are respect, friendship, and excellence. Thank you for reading my blog post for today. Please comment on my work and tell me what I need to work on.

My sports person profile⚽

 My sports person profile⚽

Asalaam Alaikum everyone. Today I am going to be blogging about my sports person profile. In Te Waka Ako (syndicate) we have been learning about the Olymic Games. We also watched it on the TV of how many medals have New Zealand won. Also we found out that we won a gold medal for rowing. Anyways we did a sports person profile. It was where we had to go onto the olympic site and find a person and what sport they do. I chose Simone Billes. She does Artistic Gymanstics in the Olympics. After we were done we then had to discover back in the old days which person did the same sport and who it was. The person who did Artistic Gymnastics in the old days was Oksana Chusovitina. She won 1 gold medal and 1 silver.

Here is my sport person profile on Simone Billes and Oksana Chusovitina🎉

✴✴✴ Matariki ✴Lanterns✴✴✴

Asalaam Alaikum everyone. Today I am going to blog about Matariki lanterns. For Matariki we made lanterns. We made them out of coloured paper. The colours were blue, green, and pink for the outside. Orange and yellow for the inside. The people who weren't here had to do them the next day. Here are some instructions on how to make Matariki lanterns.

First you fold the paper in half. Then you measure a 4 cm line. After that you fold the 4cm line. Then you get the inside piece of paper and need to measure a 2cm line. Then you need to rule the 2cm line down to the bottom. Next you get some scissors  and cut on the 2 cm lines. When your done cutting your lines you wrap it around the inside. Then your finished.

 

 

Teaching Cultural Games🎊

Teaching Cultural Games🎊 

Asalaam Alaikum everyone. Today I am going to blog about teaching cultural games to the senior students. The year 6 leaders taught the year 5's some cultural games that the leaders learned from parents. The different games were Aussie rules from Australia, Stream from Russia, Wizards also from Russia, Caber Toss from Scotland, Bamboo stick game from Japan, and last but not least Ulu Maika from Hawaii. My group had to teach Stream. Only 3 groups teached first and then the other groups that were left teached after lunch. In the afternoon the groups that were presenting the games before lunch were put into a group with the year 5's. My group went to Aussie rules first and then went to Wizards. We didn't get to do the last game because there was no time. What went well for us was when everybody was having fun and listning to the instructions.
