Goal Setting Term One.

1. My first goal was to do harder division. How I will achieve this is. I will figure out what division I already know so I can eventually know all of the harder division I will do this for 10 minutes every day.

2. The second goal I made was to become better at writing. How I will do this is to start writing more often at home for 15 minutes every day. For example I could get a diary.

3. Learn my Multiplication up to 12 so I can recite them off by heart. How I will do this is recite them like I can recite the alphabet aerobics. I will do this for 10 minutes everyday too.

4. lastly I want to get 5 badges at st Jhons. I will just focus on it more than average and get my parents with the programme.I will do this for 30 minutes every day.

Camp reflection.

W.A.L.T. upload our camp reflection and write about it on a blog.

Today we had to reflect on the year five and six camp. As above you can clearly see my reflection and why I like/enjoyed it. Last week we went to Aroha island with Kereru. We went to camp so we can experience the nature and what it is like  to be a part of fun experiences and learning. We did alot of fun activities like walking, kayaking, sleeping, Kiwi spotting but my personal favourite was eating.

Have you ever been to Aroha Island?

Do you want to see a Kiwi?

MaItAi BaY bRoChUrE

W.A.L.T: Create and upload a blog post on our inquiry task that we have been working on.     

For inquiry our class has been learning to create brochures about Maitai Bay. About two weeks ago I made a brochure about Maitai bay with Peyton. We had to include some reasonable information about Maitai bay and the rahui that was placed there. Here is my brochure.

My Maitai Bay Brochure.

I learnt that Maitai bay has a rahui.

I enjoyed editing and finding information for the brochure

I could improve by adding more photos.

Have you ever been diving at Maitai bay?

Kiwi Can Lesson

 W.A.L.T upload a post showing what we learnt in Kiwi Can today.

Today we had Kiwi Can. Our focus today was respect, the catchphrase that goes with it is : "We will respect our school we will do it because we're cool". We played two games, the games we played were called Snap, crackle and pop and So,ma,ca,lo. This is how you play Snap, crackle and pop; First you have to get into groups of three and decide who is going to be snap who's going to be crackle and same with pop. Today I was in a group with Mia and Sofia, Mia was crackle Sofia was pop and I was snap. Once you have sorted that out you have to get into a circle with the other groups then somebody has to yell out snap, crackle or pop for instance if they yelled out snap then the people that were snaps including me would have to run around the circle and the other two people would have to put their leg up and then snap would have to run under their legs and get what ever is in the middle of the circle the first person to get it gets a point the people with the most points at the end win! Here is a photo of us playing So, ma, ca, lo:

How I showed respect is not being a sore loser and having a fit.

I enjoyed playing these games because it is nice to run around and have fun.

I could improve on being more careful when running around because it is a hazard.

Have you ever played snap, crackle and pop before?

Trip to Te Puna Wai Ora pools.

Yesterday we went on a trip to Te Puna Wai Ora pools centre so we could learn how to snorkel. My favourite task that we did was when we had to go  under water with the snorkel, and the blow out the water like a whale! The reason we did this was because next Thursday we will be going to Maitai bay to explore the marine reserves for the Experiencing marine reserves program. Our instructor's name is Oliver, Oliver is preparing us for the Maitai bay trip so we can snorkel and discover the different types of fish.

What I learnt was to get all of my hair out of the mask otherwise it would leak.

What I enjoyed was going through the hoop under water.

My one goal is to hold my breath for longer.

Have you ever gone snorkelling?
