Genius Hour

This is mine Iyves and Cristebels Genius Hour. We chose to make a movie about the environment. Mrs Hall said the we could choose to something to do that we really liked and long as it would change the world in someway. I am enjoying writing the script. I am wondering if we will be able to remember our lines?

My DLO

This is my DLO. What is a DLO some of you might ask? Well a DLO is a Digital Learning Object. I used Wevideo, Voki and a drawing. For our values we had to create it so we could explain how our top 4 values connect. I learned to get the job done and use Voki better. I enjoyed trying to get the screencastify video right.

I am wondering if we can do it again.

Our trip to the Envirocenter

Gizzy Kai Rescue.

Today Tawhirimatea and Tane Mahuta went to the Envirocentre. We did six activities and they were all really fun. Here are the six activities that we did.

1. Gizzy Kai Rescue. At there we learned that they rescue food that would be thrown out and they give it to families who don't have enough food for themselves.
2. The six Rs: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Replace and Rot. If you don't need something you can REFUSE it.
3. We also went out in to the garden and had some carrots, peas and you will never guess:FLOWERS. I know, can you actually eat flowers? Yes you can well some of them.
4.  Beeswax wrappers are so fun to make, because I've made them. Thats right we also made those!
5. Do you want to find out how to have a waste free lunchbox? Then go to the envirocentre.
6. And last but not least Waste Free Events. We learnt how to have a party without all the waste. 

My favorite part was when we got to go in to the DUMP!!! [Not real] It was dark and there was a huge RAT!!!! I am wondering can we go back next year?

Goals of the week term 3

Hello everyone, this is my goals of the week for term 3. The quote for this week is: Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds.

Our Food Flow Chart

This is my food flow chart. I made it with Kacee and Bella. We don't have to do it but we wanted to do it. We did it because Mrs Mill read us  some recipes and we had to create a flowchart about it. A flow chart is a basic explanation of how to do something. I learned while I was doing it about how to make diwali sweets.I enjoyed making the shapes and writing in them. I also enjoyed  reading the article about how to make the sweets. Something you are still wondering about. I am wondering if I can make them at home one day. Would you like to?

What's the weather

 This is our teams what's the weather slide number one. I made the weather bag for our team. We did it so we can learn to predict the weather. We need to know when the weather's going to be nice so then we are safe when we launch rockets. I enjoyed taking the temperature every day and recording notes to. I also enjoyed making the weather bag and drawing the designs. I am wondering if there is a pattern in the weather. I am also wondering if I can predict the weather by looking at my bag.

Natural Art

Last week the art challenge was to ...create a natural piece of art. I decided to create a mandala. It is a circle of natural materials.

My materials were pinecones, palm tree fibre, dry silver ferns and pebbles. I carefully arranged the materials in a circle.

I then took the pebbles and scattered them over the mandala.The palm tree fibre was laid around it.I placed a leaf in the center and, tada. There you have a piece of natural art

Fly, fly, fly

Hello everyone, the past week we have been exploring thrust and what it is. What is thrust you may ask? Well thrust is a force were to every action there is a equal and opposite reaction. To explain this we made a catapult plane. Now how do you make one for yourself? I will explain.

1. Take a A4 piece of photocopy paper and create a paper plane.
2. Find a hole punch and punch a hole in the plane
3. Loop a elastic band through the hole. If you do not have a elastic band a hair tie will do.
4. Take a pencil {your finger will do}pull the plane back, let go. Whoosh. Of it goes.

Making a Pie

Hello everybody, guess what I made today? Did you guess? It's a pie! What was in the pie? We'll get on to that now.

The pie was called kitchen sink pie. It gets its name from a soup my mum made, which has everything in it but the kitchen sink. In my pie there was sausage meat. It was squeezed out of the sausage skins. Next was eggs, then bacon, parsley, potato, frozen peas and corn and white and orange kumara. I had to roll out two pastry sheets for the bottom and the top.

On the top of the pie I put my name that I cut out with left over pastry. It tasted really good! Do you like pie?

A day in the life of an S.E.S worker

Hi my name is Eilidh and I work at the S.E.S .It stands for Safe Evacuation Service. My division is called Billet Recruitment Service. Otherwise known as B.R.S. My job is to interview billets, advertise, send out letters and fill out forms. I really enjoy my job.  

Dear Diary,

Today at work we had a letter from Bristol saying that it had been bombed.We now have 1300 children to evacuate.I know that's a lot isn't?  I started to make a poster asking people to host the children. The others wrote interview questions.

Today there was two air-raids. Enclosed is a photograph of me in my gas mask.It is very inportant that you do not lose it. It protects you from the poisonous gas that the Germans drop.It also has a wooden box

During the staff meetings I take the minutes a lot. It is really fun. I have to write down everything said, then summarize it on the slide.
