Narrative writing.

For writing this week we had to create a Fantansy  Text based on a morphed animal we created. My animal is called a Gorllird and his name is Tonkins. It's called a Gorillid because it is a Gorilla and a bird in one.

Heres my fantasy story:



Tonkins Saves The Day





Once upon a time, there was a Gorillird named Tonkins who didn’t know that he had a super power or that there were other Gorillirds. It was early in the morning and he had just woken up. He did his normal morning routine, brushing his teeth, eating breakfast and then he would explore the forest. While he was  exploring  the forest, his muscles were becoming bigger and stronger every single day.

Tonkins muscles were getting out of control! It was like he was turning into the hulk! He finally calmed down but he was too scared that people would think he was a monster, so he decided to go back home. He ran as fast as he could so nobody would see him. But when he was about to arrive home he could hear people who sounded just like him and were shouting out for help so he went to have a look.

As Tonkins arrived, he was shocked to see other Gorillirds just like him. He saw them getting abducted by aliens! He tried to jump up onto the UFO and he ended up jumping so high and discovered that he has another Super power. He then realised he could use his powers to bring down the UFO. He used all of his strength to come down hard onto the UFO which damaged it and then caused it to crash. 

Tonkins saved the day and rescued the other Gorillirds from the aliens.

Fables

What's up bloggers! Today's blog will be about FABLES

Today for writing I had to research about fables and these are the 3 thing I found:

  • Fables are fiction
  • Fables are short and have few characters,
  • Characters are often animals with human attributes.
They also have a moral of the story

What do you know about fables?

NRL Grand Final Winners

Whats up bloggers!

Sorry to keep you hanging..... I forgot to update you all on who won the NRL this year!

Drum roll......

THE MIGHTY PENRITH PANTHERS!!!

            

Final Score: 14-12

My Prediction was: 20-12 so i was pretty close! Just 1 converted try in it.

Its been so boring without any NRL on anymore while we are in lockdown. I wish it was on all year long. I also miss playing sports. Its my favourite thing to do... so its very strange not to be playing summer sport. 

I cant wait for NRL 2022.

School Holidays

What's up bloggers in today's blog it will be about I did in the School holidays.

During my school holidays I went for a big walk up One Tree Hilll with my Aunty, Uncle and 4 cousins and it was awesome looking at the view together. My uncle said the goal was to not stop until we got to the top and guess what we all did it! When we got to the top it was very windy because we so high up. While we were at the top of One Tree Hill we played a game to see who could spot any other moutains that people could walk up, we spotted Mt Roskill and Mt Wellington and a few others.

I have also been watching movies and playing Fortnite on my Xbox with my friends. My favourite movie that I watched during lockdown is a movie called rebound, it is about a college basketball coach who was forced to coach a junior high basketball team, that were not doing well. 

I enjoy watching alot of sports movies as sports is one of my favourite subjects. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions on sports movies I could watch in the future. 

Hope you enjoyed my blog!

NRL Grand Final Update!!

What's up bloggers, welcome back

Its GRAND FINAL WEEK in the NRL!!

Last week I predicted Rabbitohs and Storm to win even though I wanted Manly or Panthers.

So who made it............

The Grand Final 2021 will be between Rabbitohs and Panthers! 

Im picking the Penrith Panthers to win 20-12.



Nathan Cleary is the captain of Penrith Panthers and he was named the Half Back of the year (Number 7) for 2021. There were also 5 other panthers named in the team of the year so I think they will be the stronger side. This is also the 2nd year in a row the Panthers have made the Grand Final. Last year they lost to the Storm.

Do you guys have any predictions??? 

Cya

Character Profile

Whats up bloggers! Its the end of another week in lockdown. 

This week in Te Waka Ako we have been busy doing lots of home learning.

For example, for writing on Thursday I watched this video here: https://www.literacyshed.com/ruin.html and had to create a Character Profile. Check out my character profile below:

























I really enjoyed doing this task because I could choose ratings and write about his story from what I learnt in the video. If he was a real life character, I would watch out for him because he is tough as! Look at his strength rating...wow!

What have you guys been doing?

There were 4 games:

Manly 12 v Storm 40

My Literacy poem using alliteration

 LIVING LIFE IN LOCKDOWN


Waiting, wishing and watching warriors 

Calling, complaining, cards and cleaning

Playing playstation, pies and praying

Sleeping, shopping, sunshine and showering

My writing work.

 WRITING. Kia Ora Bloggers, Today I will be sharing my writing work.

For my writing work I did a procedural  text about how to play Rugby League. First I had to give the text a title. Then I had to write down what we needed and the goal of the game. After that we had to write down the rules of the game and then the steps.  The activity was very fun to do I really liked doing my plan becuase then I knew what to do in my real procedural text.

This is how you play Rugby league:

What you need: For Rugby league you need to have Rugby boots, a mouthguard to protect your teeth, a Rugby ball and a head gear if you want.


Goal: Score as many tries as you can for your team and tackle the other team so they don’t score and most importantly win THE GAME!


Rule 1: make sure you play fair.

Rule 2: have good sportsmanship.

Rule 3: have a good game


  1. Choose a captain for each team and then flip a coin heads or tails.

  2. Then one team will either receive or kick the ball.

  3. Then You will have to run with the ball or tackle if you have the ball.

  4. If you want to get past the other team from tackling you you have to use your sidestep with your footwork. Some people are good at it and some people are not.

  5. Hold the ball with two hands and don’t drop it. 

  6. Run it straight and bump people off. 

  7. MAKE SURE YOU WIN!!! 


BYE AND HAVE A GOOD!!!

STEM week Waikowhai Student Led Toolkits!


STEM WEEK
Science Technology Engineering Mathematics 
|Morena bloggers, last Friday our school had our own student led toolkits!

On that day there would be two presenters and they would present their presentation to other students in the middle and senior school. There was 24 presenters around the whole school and there was 12 presentation at once. 

First I went to Google Slide Animation and had to follow there instructions, so we had to make an animation on goggle slides. Slide animation taught me how to create my own animations about anything for example a sport. 


Meanwhile... Next I went to Webcam Toy, Webcam Toy is an app that you take photos with different backrounds that look really cool and useful. some of the cool filters were rose wich had a red backround and also thermal which can make your body white and the backround black.


Music Lab! Next I went to music lab which was my last place to go. During that session I got to make my own creative beats on  music lab. I really enjoyed making my own beats and would like to visit the app more often.

                           Would you like to have your own school Toolkits?

Swimming at Cameron pools

Talofa bloggers and welcome to my blog.

For the past four weeks me and my class have been going to Cameron Pools and being taught by lifeguards and instructors. During our class time in the pool we were just doing some basics for the first day like freestyle and stream line.  Two days after we were learning some harder stuff like back stroke with a board and without. Back stroke with a board was easy and hard at the same time. Then we got to go on the boat and learnt how to get on quickly without someone telling you what to do with the life jackets.

After those swimming lessons it was the weekend and then it was Monday. After monday which was Tuesday we went back to cameron pools on the bus, on the bus I got to sit at the back with my freinds Mason and Frank during that session we did extremly hard work it was like humongous we were doing a triathlon but in the pool. 

The week we went into the nans pool to do rips and currents to learn how to survive in the water while in a rip and to swim with the current. So the rest of the people in my group made waves and I had to try swim agaisnt it. Then We got two 1.5 liter bottles and tryed to float with them and then we had to try save partner with a noodle and save them.

Hope you enjoyed reading my blog make sure YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY!!!

Spark Arena TRIP!!!

Hey What's up you amazing bloggers!

Today the year 6s got the chance to go to Spark Arena FOR FREE. Sounds crazy but we actually went. We were so excited. 

First we  visited the Happy Place. It is an instagram place where you have heaps of fun like jumping into a really deep ball pit or going into a room with heaps of confetti. The room with heaps of confetti was like a crazy shower because we were all dumping them on each other. We also took photos like we were Instagram models in a room full of flowers. There was also a big unicorn that you could sit on and take photos with and a giant cookie. The giant cookie we got to be the choc chips of the cookie so our faces were the choc chips.



 Next we went to Sounds fun and we got to experiment with different instruments and music software. While we were in soundes fun I learnt how to play the Trumpet, trumbone and a p bone! We also got to play on some electric drums that was really cool and got opportunity to play on a keyboard that makes beats and music. In that building there was t-shirts signed by famous people like Bruno mars, Taylor swift, usher and Katy Perry and lots more. 


Van Gogh Exhibition 

A while later we went to the Van gogh art gallery and saw heaps of amazing art by van Gogh most of the art we saw were flowers and faces of people on the big screen accept there was multiple of them even on the ground!


Then we were going to go back to school the people gave us free food and we had some chips with a nice sandwich and an apple that was delicious and a JUICE!!

After that amazing day I felt like i was waiting to long  to have the best experience  at spark Arena!

Have you ever been to spark arena before?

Te waka ako Warzone ( trenches In the class )

 Hey Bloggers, today's blog might be the best blog I have ever done!

On a wild Wednesday the Te Waka Ako warzone was CRAZY. When I arrived at school people started to come at me and say that there was heaps of strings in the classroom like we were about to be in trenches  - and me and my freinds were right. The blinds were closed so we were  peaking through to see what was happening, then we saw our teachers and saw that they wearing some army type of face paint. Then they let us in and it looked like it was in world war 1,  even though I did not know what the war looked like. 

When the disturbing bell went, we were in  the one class with about 75 students in there because the other two had strings inside of them like trenches. While we were in trenches we had to do some work and while we were doing it the teachers were distracting us by playing gun noises with a speaker.  SO DISTURBING! 

We even had lunch in the trenches and it made feel about how they ate and what they ate during the war. how would you feel if you were in the war?


Hope you enjoyed my blog post, If you have time you could leave a comment.

BLOG YOU LATER!

The score was 5-2!  GRAND FINAL TIME against Hallsy drive. During that game I was playing against two of my close friends.

Roskill Softball Zones

 Whats up, bloggers to another blog post.
On Tuesday I went to Softball zones for my school and we played other schools in the area of Mt Roskill. In our first game we played Hillsborough and we one by a couple of points. During the game I did not get out once, all of my runs went home for my team. After that game we played Marshall Lang  and we ended up losing. At first I thought it was a draw but we sadly lost. 

Then we went down to play Hay Park, a school very close to us. In the end, we ended up winning by heaps and went on to our next game against Halsy Drive and we ended up winning again by heaps. Next we had a very good team that we were about to play Dominion Road but then we endeed up winning that game as well!

After that we had plenty of other games. In the future I would like to play Softball for a real club and be a really good pitcher and fielder. Hope you enjoyed reading my blog.

Tsnami

 Hey, bloggers last week there was a Tsnami in east cost NZ

Last friday when I woke up my mum and dad told that there was a earthquake early that morning. Then there was two other earthquake so I was worried that it would come to Auckland. When I heard about the Tsnunami warning on the News. Heaps of family's had to evacuate and to high because of the warning. One of my teachers Ms Sands was in Waipu and she went to the top of her drive way because it was very high and it was all concret.e During the warning heaps of people were driving down her driveway and then a big bus of sick people from a miny hospitly. Then she was letting people use her toilets and her neighbors did to. But one of people in the bus was really sick so she had to let her in the house and use a be, but not long after she passed away because she was extremely sick.

 If I had a safety bag I would some basic stuff like a flash light and anyone should have a safety bag even if your not in the east coast. .I would also pack my yummy  lunchbox and my hat so I don't get hot, also You would want to take a radio so you can here what's going on. 

Thanks for reading

Lockdown 4 (Auckland)

 Hey bloggers, it's Noah with another blog post.

Here in Auckland we had another lockdown. During lockdown we had zoom meetings every morning at 9:00 am. When I heard that we were going be in lockdown I was excited because we didn't have to go to school for six hours. On our class zoom it was very cool to see my friends and some year 5's that I  have never been on a zoom call with.

For my activites I had to finish one activity for each subject we had four subjects and they were maths, reading ,writing and other if your wondering what other it's just other activites like te reo maori or science. My favourite activity was my kahoot about vocabulary. I also liked doing lockdown diary that we had to do.


In my kahoot I did not do very well but I tried my best. next time my goal would be to do better and challenge myself and try harder kahoots. During my lockdown I felt happy because i got to play with my sister a little bit more and buy presents for her birthday!
