WANTED by Jesus!!

 

Jesus is wanting you to be apart of his life.

We did this task because Jesus Christ needs more followers, we had to add in 5 or more qualities about what you need to be a good follower. We also need a photo of us or Jesus. 

Rosie the raindrop

                   :Rosie the raindrop’s Roller-coaster ride:

One rainy day Rosie the raindrop fell out of a fluffy cloud down on the ground at the point where the river Thames starts. As Rosie travels down the river she passes objects she has never seen before like random stones, birds chirping so loudly that Rosie's ear drums are blown to smithereens. The heart wind from the storm is rattling the large wavy trees and seconds later a loud kaboom! A tree branch has fallen down and shattered an electric fence. Rosie is shakin out of her bones.

She is a little anxious about what will come next, the water is flowing down the river quietly, a bit too quiet Rosie exclaims.

Later that day Rosie hears splish, splash, splosh it gets louder and louder splash, splash, splosh as chucked up in the air by a kayak paddle and splashed back into the water but something seems different she can hear not only the kayaker but boats, cars and people?????

As Rosie heads for the surface her lungs are screaming for air. (Gasping) Rosie pauses for a moment, she looks around and she is in a whole new world. She swims around in circles uncontrollably, worried and stressed Rosie is panting louder and louder she is in shock, provision is vague flashing black and white images flicking through her head and like a click of a finger *click* everything goes black and very quiet. . . .

  

Later that day in a calming drift of water, Bright Lights awakened her more. Rosie dove down only to see rubbish, plastic and a disaster waiting to happen. Then all of a sudden a whistling noise travels from the right ear to the left. She looked over her back and saw a helpless dolphin stuck in a thick chained rope and wrapped around his body multiple times. The poor dolphin is bleeding. He has lots of scratches and bruises. As Rosie untangles the large chained rope the dolphin leaps out and swims around Rosie like a blur. 

The sun is setting quickly and Rosie and her new friends set off to find her pod of dolphins.

This is my Rosie the raindrop story.

For the past couple of weeks my class and I have been working on a story.

We were given six different pictures about (te awa) The river.

We have to do it based on a raindrop named Rosie but we're supposed to write the story from our perspective or her's.

In the story we have to write that Rosie the raindrop is like a living person with human traits.

America's Cup Wordle!!!

 

This is my America's Cup Wordle.

It was very fun to make and I love the colour combinations on it.

These are a couple of keywords and countries that are included in the America's Cup to and then put it all together and this was the outcome!!

America's Cup

                     

This is my 2021 America's cup information that I found out.

Something that I found challenging was who was involved in the America's cup because it would not show up at first, Something that I found interesting was how long the American cup goes for. It is 14 days long witch seems like a long time.

My week reflection

 The highlight of my week was Ash Wednesday because when we got the ashes on our forehead, it is a   symbol to forgive our sins. 

Something I found challenging this week was when we went to tech we had to draw 3D shapes and letters and then we have to shade it that was really hard.

Something I want to work on next week is getting more work done each day so I don't have much on Friday to finish.

I showed the Mercy value this week when I helped a little kid when they were crying on the playground. 

I am looking forward to swimming sports next week on Friday and doing our Aubert house chant. 

Mercy values

This video here is about me and my friends showing everyone what the Mercy values are.

First we are talking about each of the Mercy values and then showing them.

Week One Reflection

At the start of week one I felt... Excited to be back at school and get to see all of my friends and the teachers. It was cool to see all the new classrooms and just to get settled in.

The highlight of my week has been... In Te Kahu classroom with all my friends. Everyone has very friendly towards the new students and they have felf very welcomed into our school.

Something I found challenging was our collaborative art that we did as a class we had to take a photo and trace around the main lines then we had to paint it.

I am really looking forward to the up coming year and the new challenges that awaits for me and all of the fun activities.

Angles

 This week my class has been learning about angles. We talked about all the different names for angles at first I had no idea what they meant but when we started to find out what the definition was of each of the words it seems much easier. After a while we were told to go outside and sit on the step. were doing a fun task we need to use the protractors and go around the school and measure 5 acutes 5 Obtuse and 5 right angle using the protractors to get used to measuring everything. I found more acute then obtuse and found more right angles in a acutes. 

Moment in time

 Glancing at the sun, eyes wide open, water splashing on my face, drifting wind shapes my   hair briefly.   paddling into erupting waves, cruising around on my board.  My board starts to   float backwards and straight away I start to paddle.  ( CRASH )  went the wave (SLAP) went my feet going on the bored.

New Zealand legend

 last week we have been learning about local legends in New Zealand. We are doing this because we think it is important to remember the people that have gone before us and have been a leader in our life.   

My person that I did was Jacindar Ardern New Zealand's prime minister I chose her because she has guided New Zealand through many difficult situations and she deserves to be remembered in 2020.

Here are some facts and cool things I found out about her and her life style.

Born on the 26th of July 1980 Hamilton NZ

She was only 37 years old when she had her first child

Moment in time

 My heart was thumping louder than ever I was taking my last couple of breath's and swoosh down I go gliding in the wind  I can taste the dry wind in my mouth.

Swerving around rocks and drifting over trees scared for myself.

The announcement

Crash,bang,slam! Rushing into the house after school.

What happened I subtly asked my mum are we going back into lock-down?

My mum answered Jacinda ardern has not said anything yet. Mum sat on the couch very patently on the couch and me on the other hand very very un-patient running around the house like a mad man then finely she was on the topic if we were going back into lock-down. As we were holding our breaths hoping for the best then Jacinda ardern our prime minister announced we are staying at level 2.

Fireman to the Rescue!

( Heavily breathing ) churr  churr churr My heavy breathing was all I could hear my heart was thumping boom boom, boom boom whta was going through my head was such fear thinking if someone was trapped in the house or couldn't get out not knowing what is coming next as I walked through the cold,wet,burnt house I came across something rather small lying on the ground as I glimpsed closer and closer I finally realised it was a kitten I had to act fast I think it was dead but I picked it up gently anyway.

I walked out of the house and went to the fire truck and opened the side of the truck door and pulled our an oxygen tank and mask and I put it on the little kitten. I prayed that the kitten would wake up.

waiting in silence I heard a little squeak.

*Cross country recount*

Yesterday it was cross country I was very excited I had been practising a lot at school and at home but I did not know the track because if I was practising on the track then that would be cheating. Every year my school does cross country on my farm they always come up to me and say I love the mud,big hills and challenging tracks. We had to set everything up before the school gets here it felt like forever to set up and for everyone to get here. After a while everyone started to come in from the bus and not long after that the year 8 boys were called and GO off they went next was the year 8 girls and GO I was getting nervous the year seven's were being called so we all warmed up together and had a photo and GO my heart was already thumping I don't even think I had done 50 meters yet and I was puffed as the race went on I could here all my friends cheering me on go Alyx go that got me motivated to keep going even though I was absolutely worn out I had 1 kilometre left to do and I really wanted to win so I kept going before crossing the finish line I felt so proud of myself that I kept going I said in my head 3,2,1 and done I flopped down to the ground I had nothing left in me and I felt sick for a little bit but it went away and after all of that I came in 3 place at least I wasn't last.

{}{} Water Wheel {}{}

Last week on our contracts we had a Mahi tahi challenge.

Mahi tahi is when the 3 senior classes get put into different groups and we have to do a challenge.

we also have to think about the Four Cs Critical Thinking,Communication,Collaboration,Creativity.

Since we couldn't be together in the same class we did it as one class.

Our challenge was to make a water wheel that moves and picks up water.

we made it out of paper plates, straws, egg cartons,hot glue, tin foil, rubber bands, skewers and cups.

When we were finished we test it out and it worked perfectly but it didn't pick up water.

Here's is an image

Why are rainforests important

Travelling through the rainforest

Lately my class have been learning about the rainforest.  Mrs Cutler said we should do some art we all shouted "YAY" 
So we got a piece of A3 paper and drew a simple light line of the shape of your rainforest leaf. Next we had to get the crayons and press lightly for the leaf at the front to look like it is popping out of the page and the leaves at the back darker to give it depth. Next thing we had to do is dye our backgrounds. Some of us used the light green,some of us the dark green and most of the class did light green and then a little bit of dark green over the top. This made it look more realistic.
My bird is a macaw, I chose the blue and yellow macaw because I wanted a bright bird that was different colour to my background

Level 1

We are now in level 1, a new beginning for everyone!

It feels weird to go from keeping social distancing and hand sanitising in mind to not needing to do it as much as we used to now.

It has been so long since we had started the year I was going to do dance competitions and then they were cancelled like soccer,rugby and lots of other sports.

I really hope the people who were chosen to go to the Olympics are training hard. We had been in level 4 from 26/3 - 27/4 then to level 3 28/3 - 13/5 and then to level 2 14/5 - 8/6 and since last night we are now in level 1.

I am proud of New Zealand because we are leading the world of having no cases and have successfully controled covid-19 and on the way to elimination.     (!!GO NEW ZEALAND!!) Give a big round of applause to our Prime minister Jacinda ardern
