Household Chores

This week for our quickwrite, we had to write four answers to four questions. The questions were: Should children help with household chores, What household chores would you enjoy doing, and why, What household chores would be your least favourite, and why, and the last question is, If you could choose between homework and household chores, what would you choose, and why?

This is my first paragraph.

Should children help with household chores?

Yes I think everybody should help with chores including children. Kids should do chores because, chores may seem boring but they actually make kids happy and feel good about themselves. Also kids should help around the house because, chores teach kids two really good things: responsibility and time management. Chores include: Ironing, vacuuming, mopping, dusting and making your bed.

Do you think children should help with chores?  Comment what you think.

Learning Through Play

This week we started LTP ( Learning Through Play) in the Moana syndicate.  LTP is when you learn new things and skills while playing.  There are four options for LTP: Junky monkey,

Makey makey, Cardboard nation and Planet construction. 
But I only did Makey makey this week so I don't know what you
do in the other activities. 

Makey makey- Are cool little packed boxes with a motherboard, alligator clips, which are clips that join onto the motherboard, spare wires for connecting things, instructions and stickers, which we didn't use. I went to Makey makey with my friend and we made a piano and bongo drums with pillows, so when we touched the pillows they made a sound like a piano or bongos.
I really enjoyed Makey makey, but next time I would like to go somewhere different.

Matariki

This week is the last week of the term, and has been pretty crazy!

 We even had to do a Just Dance performance for

one of our priorities! One of my favorite tasks

was the Matariki jigsaw puzzle.

The jigsaw pieces asked questions

about Matariki and we had to answer them. The 

teacher put fact cards around the class that we had to

find to be able to answer the questions.

 After we had written all of the facts down, we had to 

color in the jigsaw pieces and cut them out. 

Once we had cut them all out we got a piece of A3 

 colored paper,  put the jigsaw together and 

glued it onto the paper.

This task was really tricky because we had to 

glue the pieces together without making them overlap! 

How do you celebrate Matariki? 

Delicious Menu

This week we had so many AWESOME priorities such as: 

we wrote letters to the Board of Trustees about why 

we wanted to have a shorter term, another letter to our 

principle as our teacher is leaving in term 3 and we 

need a new one who is suitable.  But my 

favorite was making a yummy menu and

a yucky menu. Here they are. What dish would 

you try?

Just Dance

   Just Dance 

 After lockdown, me and my friends volunteered to

run Just Dance. If you are wondering what Just

Dance is, it is an active video game when you have to

copy the person on the screen like a reflection in a

mirror. 

 Me, Ella, Rio and Josie were in charge of the projector so we
had to learn how to work it. It was really confusing!! Two of our
favourite dances are “Timber”-2 player and “Waka Waka”-4
player.  The only one I know off by heart is
“Kung Fu Fighting”.But I don’t really like it.

 Fridays is when anybody can come to do Just Dance. 
Lot’s of juniors join in and it is really funny, cute and cool
to see them trying to follow the moves!

 After Discovery on Friday me and my friends got to hand
out shine cards to the people that came and parcicartated
at Just Dance.  Shine cards are cards that the teachers hand
out to children that are showing our school values: Respect,
Responsibility and Resilience.    

MLH Learning From Home

On 25 of March Wednesday 2020 to the 18 of May on Monday we were told firmly that we had to Stay home and Save lives.  We 

couldn’t go out of the house so that meant no school and so we 

had to do learning from home for five weeks.

We had subjects to do every week, these were the subjects: the 

first week we didn’t have a subject, the second week it was 

close to Anzac day so our week was Anzac themed, then our next 

week was Animal Kingdom so we learnt lots about animals, After 

that was World Famous and  our last one was Storytime themed.

My favourite theme was world famous because I got to do the person who was keeping us safe throughout the lockdown… Jacinda Ardern!!

Yay!  We had to do a Flipgrid ( a video ) of us dressed up as our famous person, I sort of  looked like Jacinda!

Every Friday was fancy Friday so we had to dress up in whatever

that weeks theme was on our Google meets which are meeting’s

but they are Socially distanced. 

I was scared at first but the learning was so much fun and I was so happy to get back to school and see all my friends and teachers!! 

Now we are all back at school with all my friends!!

Math game

Today I was learning to make math games on slides.

I enjoyed doing the maths.

I found it challenging to put the links in.

My digital learning object shows 2, 5 and 10 time tables.

Next time I would change the colour of my font.
