Mindfulness

 Mindfulness

Hello bloggers around the world🌏👈, today I am going to be talking about Mindfulness. I am pretty sure you all know what Mindfulness is. But if you don't know what Mindfulness is, then I'm going tell you. Mindfulness is paying attention to the here and now, with patience, kindness, and curiosity. We learned how to do candel breathes, and how to stay foccused. We did this cool Hula Hoop challenge where we had to pass the Hula Hoop through. We had to beat our time. We also did some Yoga. Here are some photos of Mindfulness.

Summer Learning Journey

 Summer Learning Journey ☁

Hello bloggers around the world🌍👈, today I am going to share with you what we did for the Summer Learning Journey (teaser). So, today we did an example of what SLJ is like. This post was just to have fun (no points won). We had to recolor a famous picture/painting and make it look just like the original one. But, we could also have a play around and recolor it however you like. Let me show you mine. Lets see if you can tell the difference? We do SLJ to improve our writing, reading, and some maths. SLJ helps us during the holidays to not get our levels to trun up bad when we return to school. That is why I like to do SLJ activities during the holidays.

Intermidiate

I n T e R m I d I a E t

Hello bloggers around the world🌎👈, today I am going to be talking about our visit to Waikowhai Intermidiate. Sadly, next year I am going to be going to Waikowhai Intermidiate. Most of my friends are still going to Waikowhai Primary. So it is  sad because I am going to leave my friends. But beside that, I got to meet my new classmates and my new tEaChEaR! My new teacher is called Ms Kumar. My new classroom is room 10. My classmates are so fun. This is such a fun class! I love Waikowhai Intermidiate because everyone is so kind. People are funny and like to make new friends. So I love Waikowhai Intermidiate. One of my favorite things about Waikowhai Intermidiate is camp. It looks sooooo much fun! The thing I am going to miss the most about Waikowhai Primary is my friends. I have made a lot of friends at Waikowhai Primary, so it is sad I am not going to get to hang out with them. Here is the link for Waikwhai Intermidiate's site

Skateboarding

Skateboarding

Hello bloggers around the world🌏👈 Guess what we did today?!  No we didn't do reading -  we did SKATEBOARDING! Ben and Lawrence came to our school and taught us some cool skills. We learned how to change direction, using nose + tails, learn to crabwalk, how to stop, how to Tix-Tax, and a bunch of other stuff. My favorite skill I learned was to change direction because it made feel like a pro.

It was hard to ride down the ramps. One kid fell 3 times while trying to ride down the ramp. I got scared and never tried it😅, maybe I will try it next time. I fell like 3 times. One time, I went so fast that my skateboard lost control and went backwards and it hit another person. So I learned not to go too fast. It was also hard to do the 180° flip. But the hardest thing was to not crash into other people. Everyone was riding their skateboard. It was crazy! 

I loved that people were supportive. They were saying encouraging things like, "You can do it Pao!" So that is something good. Also, skateboarding is a new way of travelling. It will be good for the environment! Skateboarding is also a good way to be confident, and focusing, and at teamwork. Here are some of us skateboarding photos.

Production (Jasmine & Aladdin)

P r O d U c T i O n

Hello bloggers around the world☁, today I am going to be talking about production. So, let me explain to you a little bit about production. If you have absolutley no idea what is production. It is basically a movie acted by students. So, this year we acted the Disney movie called Aladdin. It took a lot of time to make the production work out. It took 13 weeks of rehersals. Then, on production week, we went to act it out at Waikowhai Intermidiate's hall. It was super fun! On Wednesday the 4th of October, we did a dress rehersal. Then in Wednesday Evening we preformed our PRODUCTION!  Then we had our next show on Thrusday night, and the last one on Friday morning. Production was so much fun!!!! Ok, now let me tell you the characters in production and everything about it. 

                                                                       

So, our production was called Jasmine and Aladdin. The production was based on a princess that wants to travel the world. But she can't because of her dad, and also because of the duties a princess has to complete. Then, Omar lies because he wants the lamp but Aladdin had it. Aladdin wanted to trade the lamp to Omar for the staff. At the end, Omar wanted the lamp, so Aladdin gave it to Omar. Omar wanted to be the most powerful person in the WORLD! So Omar used one of his wishes to become the most powerful person in the world. Guess what, Omar ended up in the lamp😂. That is what the production was about! In between the scenes, each class went up and danced to their song.These are all the dances/songs. Walk like a camel (Kereru), Cha cha slide (Piwakawaka), Shoping (Totowai), Cups (Kakapo), ROAR (Haumia), Magic Carpet ride (Kaiwhare), and R.E.S.P.E.C.T  (Te Waka Ako!)  I participated in the R.E.S.P.E.C.T dance. Prouction was so much fun!

My favorite part of the production was when Omar put a spell on the Sultan. It was a very interesting scene and very exciting scene

Thank you for watching

Wonder Project

 W o n d e r 

Hey bloggers around the world🌟, today I am going to be talking with you about the Wonder Project. If you check my blog, you would've have seen my post explaining what the Wonder Project is about. So make sure you check that post. But yesterday we got to launch our rocket prototypes! There were a lot of teams. Our team didn't win but it was still a fun time. Our rocket flew 12.3m! Now, let me tell you what we have to put in the rocket to make it fly. So, we had to put water in the rocket (this will replace the fire). After that, we had to pump it with air pressure till we get to 60 psi. After that, the count to 1 and LAUNCH! We launch a rocket with a trigger. That is basicaly it. I will show you guys a picure of the rocket. One thing I learned from the Wonder Project was the type of design we have to make to make a rocket fly better. Also how to launch a rocket without fire☺.
