Trip to the Art Gallery

On Thursday 16th of August Room 11 and Room 13 went to the Art Gallery because we were learning about diffrent dance performances. Some of the dancers were dancing to the picture and responding to them.After we looked at all the dancers we were able to make our own dance with Sarah and Jipena. My snap shot of the day was when Nami was standing in the middle of our flower dance and everyone else was the petals. I liked this because it looked really good. My favourite performance that I saw was 'Secret' because the girl whispered a random sentence in our ear. In my dance performance I enjoyed making Maddy into a statue because it was fun and she found it hard to balance. I learnt that you can make a dance from looking at anything.

Why We Shouldn't Do Homework!

Room 13 is learning how to write an exposition (persuasive text) this is my one it is about why homework is bad for you!

People say homework is a waist of time I agree because you already have six hours of school, people have sports on after school plus homework is a waist of my time.

Firstly homework is bad because you have six hours of school. At home is your only break from work because the next morning you have to go to school again.

Secondly sometimes people have sports on then they have to do extra home work the next day which courses a lot of stress.

Lastly homework is a waist of time you learn enough at school you could be at the pools or on the couch watching television but instead you have to do more homework.

Katy perry dosen't do homework neither does Justin Beiber so why should we?

First Day Term 3

The 16 of july was the first day of term 3 I was really excited about seeing all my friends and my teacher in the first block. When we started working Uala started talking to us about '100%' he said we should finish our work on time and to the best of our ability. On the second block we went to the library and we had to get and SSR book (reading book) and a book with some facts that will help us with our speech. In the third block we made SMART goals. SMART stands for Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic and Timely. We had to make an academic goal and a personal goal. My academic goal was to get better at at my spelling by practicing at home by the end of week 5 and my personal goal is to practice Karate three times a week till the end of week five. I had a really great day

Tasman Horse Rides

On Tuesday I had to get up really early because I was going Horse riding. We had to meet to the mini van at 8.10am so Gay could take us there, she was the lady who picks us up and drops us off. When we got there we grabbed our helmets and got on our Horses. I was on a horse called Ngati and another girl in my group, Ruby was on a horse called Whisper. First we did an hour of bare back riding that was fun. Then we did an hour of jumps and saddle riding and lastly we did an hour and a half's trek through the farm. I enjoyed doing jumps because they were really high and I liked everything else because they were all fun and exiting.

IS BIG FOOT REAL?

My class has a thing called a wonder wall

We all put what we wonder about on our wonder wall.

My wonder was I wonder If big foot is real.

Most of my class thinks that big foot is real but I don't think he is real

because If he's so big then how come no one has found him and

you can't find someone that hairy.

Some other names for big foot are Momo, Yeti, Abominable snowman, Yowie, Meh-Teh,

Raksha, Kikomba, the great bear, Sasquatch, wild man and hairy man.

Big foot has been the subject of campfire stories for decades.
Thousands of people claim to have seen the hairy monster, but the evidence of its existence is fuzzy.
There are a few clear photographs of the oversized beast.
No bones have ever been found. Lots of pranksters have admitted to making fake foot prints.
Thats why I don't think Bigfoot is real!

Living In No Gravity

In Room 13 we have a wonder wall it is where we put questions up about our curiosity. We all find out lots of little questions and put them together to find the answer or some answers, as some questions may not have an answer. My question was what if we lived with no gravity. If we lived with no gravity we would be floating around, able to cart wheel around in the air, food and water would be floating around as well. We might even float up into space, we could die because we can't breath in space. I don't think I would like to live in no gravity, but I would to live in it for one day just for fun.

Pacifica Heart Beat

On Tuesday the 20 of march 2012 the whole of Totara team went to pacifica heart beat. When we were on the bus we were playing sweet and sour it was really fun but then we got a little bored . Straight after that we were there at the pacifica heart beat we went into this place that looked like we were in a royal palace. After that we got to greet the pacifica Mamas in the language that they were from. Some of the greetings are.... Fakaalofa Lahi Atu, Bula vanaka, Kia orana, Taloha ni and Talofa lava. After we greeted them and said a prayer we set of for our first activity. Our first activity was we made stickers out of computer icons like <>and \/. Heres an example \/\/\/ ///\\\ / <<>><<>><<>><<>><><. After we had finished our stickers we danced in front of a camera that reflects your image onto the screen. The second activity we did was we walked to the art gallery and we started to look at John Pules art work we thought about the techniques that he used. After we had thought about what he has done we made our own decorations on a piece of card board after we had finished we plated a necklace to hang our piece of card on. The pacifica mamas helped us put the card on the necklace on, it was very helpful and they looked amazing.

The third thing we did was the drums and the HULA!!!! out in public. The lady who taught us was really nice, all the girls were doing the hula and the boys were doing this haka thing in the end it was really cool! we ended up doing the hula in front of people who were walking in the city it was embarrassing but really fun after that we went back to school and for the rest of the day room 13 just had a chit chat about what we got up to and what we learnt.
