Wonder Project

 Hello bloggers In Te Waka Ako we hae been lucky enough to have Sihang a member of the wonder project! We started to talk about how the pressureized water works. I felt really smart because I was anwsering alot of questions and I got a certifacate for thinking like an engineer. When it was about 20 inutes to one o,clock the teachers decided to take a test run and I was chosen as the team captain! We got all the things ready and started to build but the pump wasn't really working. So we used another pump and it worked it flew like 2 meteres! But I really enjoyed it plus one of my roles was the test pilot so it works out. Here are some images!

Ok bye bye bloggers!

Fim Festival

Hola viewers, before and after lockdown we have been working on a film to enter into the Ako Hiko Film Festival! Me and my friends/group includes me, Angelina, Masi, Hossanna, Jaimie and Brittany.  We have about 7 scenes but we muck around in almost all of them. My favorite part is when we do the soccer scene because in my family we all love soccer. I like to hang out with the group and just have fun. 

We all love soccer I try to learn new moves but I can't practise because its always rainng or wet from previous rain which makes me sad. Sometimes we take candy and share when we finish a scene its great. I am pretty happy with my group we almost finished so its going great. I think we are going to get summited to St Lukes theater so its a BIG deal.  Well our stop spoiling this now. Goodbye!

Tenis Trouble

Hola viewers,

On Wednesday the 5th of August, Manukau played tennis. We got given a number from 1-4 if you got a specific number like 2 you would have to go to a line with your group. In my opinion I loved the tennis lessons that our tennis teacher taught and he would always be postive. Unfortunately it was our last session, I will miss our tennis coach Wayne. But everytime that a old sport ends a new sport gets put in the timetable. The first sport I did at this school was squash, I was back in middle school when I did it. After soccer came along and stole sqaush's position - I love soccer still to his day. Sorry but I unfortunately didn't get any photos of us doing it. Adios Bloggers!

Matariki

Matariki

Matariki is a time when you get together with friends and family. It's also a sign of the maori new year. Matariki is a cluster of seven-nine  stars the best time to see the cluster is near dawn I predict and hour before dawn. They can be called different things depending on where you live in New Zealand we sometimes call it the seven sisters but maybe in Russia they would call it Pleiades. There are also a variety of tales on how matariki was formed. One of these myths is where Ranginui   the sky farther and Papatūānuku the Earth mother were separated by their children the god of the winds Tāwhirimātea became so angry he tore out their eyes and threw them into the heaven's its a weird myth but Matariki literly means eyes of god or little eyes. 

As a celebration of Matariki we did some rotations around the classrooms the activatys were baking fried bread the next one was doing stop motion with playdough. We made myths and my one was how Maui pulled the sun to make days longer you had to work as a team. My team was Genevive,Aysha and Jaimie we all worked together only to make the video but not the auido.  

 

In Te Waka Ako did science experiments. We were given a task. The task was to write a recount of what picture we chose and write about it. I chose this on because it was pretty interesting and amazing. If you want to check it out then a link is on the picture. The result ended up in a rainbow coloured water. But after a few minutes it started to turn brown and merging together. Like in the picture. But it was a very slow process and the teachers threw it away.  Blog you later.

Digital Toolkits

                                                                                  2020 Digital Toolkits

Ni hao bloggers. On 17/6/2020 I was a presenter at the digital toolkits. I was really nervous because this was the first time about 16 schools have ever done [digital]toolkits and I was one of the six presenters of waikowhai primary school. Students had about 4 choices of which google meet they wanted to join and learn about a digital tool. There was sandpit time where we could test out the tool. The toolkits contained about up to 300 people so it was nerve wrecking but I got to do 2 other google meets from other schools. I picked piskel. I picked it because I wanted to learn more about it. I will put a link if you want to have a go Piskel link the second one I did was word cloud generator I will do the same ad put a link word cloud. the reason I picked word cloud was because it looked fun and easy. Heres some pictures of my word cloud and me doing my google meet. Because the piskel art wasn't working couldn't put in a picture.

Creative writing

Throughout the past week, my class and have been working on our Creative Writing. We chose pictures from a slideshow and we had to write about the picture. I chose this picture because I like the idea of the stars and just, the picture was cool. I liked doing this task but I got a tiny bit off topic. If you want to read my story, then click on the picture for the link. There was a variety of photos but this one caught my eye first. I hope you like the writing. if you have some spare time you  could comment and like, but that's if you have time. Please enjoy.
