Digital Art work

Today for cybersmart we are starting our summer learning journey. We went through some videos to see what we had to do. We went onto this link called Art Colouring Book. There are lots of choices to choose from like a wave like I did and flowers and many more. Then you can click on the one you want and if you want to you can see the original photo you press the photo icon that looks like two mountains.

It comes up with the original photo so you can try and copy it if you want to.

I enjoyed trying new colours to put on the wave.

I found it tricky to copy the image because the colours aren't going where I want them to go. 

Here is the original

Camping in the Bush

This week for our reading task we had to research some information about what we might need to know when we go camping. We chose to do a solar barbeque because it could be useful. We had to list the instructions and what you needed to make it. We were allowed to go in buddys and I chose Manvi. We have been learning to inference. Inference means a conclusion on the basis of proof and reasoning. My answers for the inference question was, dad can't read the instructions for the tent so he insisted of making a shelter instead.

I enjoyed finding the pictures for what you will need.

I found it tricky to find what you need because I keep going to the wrong page.

Here is our information sheet

Camp blog Update

Last week we went to camp and we were trying to do all the activities and to make new friends.
We did Flying fox, high ropes, frisbee golf, rope maze, indoor rock climbing, lazer tag/nerf wars.
I also made a new friend her name is called Unasie.
I enjoyed writing the activities.

Here is my 2020 Goals Update

Parihaka

For reading we have been learning about Parihaka.
Parihaka happened in the 1880s. When the New Zealand government sent soldiers in to take Maori land. Then they sold all the land to the people who arrived in New Zealand from England. The people of Parihaka were forced to find a new place to live because the soldiers burnt their houses and destroyed their crops. The Māori chiefs, Te Whiti and Tohu were put in prison for no reason.

I enjoyed Writing all the information on the feather.

I found it tricky to put my feather together because the pieces kept moving.

Thank you letter

This week the students of Saint Marys are writing a thank you letter to one or two people who came and helped on camp. We wrote about how we thank them and what our favorite activities are. There were so many to choose from but I chose Ray. He was my bus driver!
I enjoyed writing about how much I thank them and the fun activities we did.

Here is my Thank you letter

Dear Ray

I am writing to you to thank you about all the hard work you have done to get us from Gisborne to Rotorua, and back again. All of the people on the bus (Including me and my buddy Maddi) were really noisy. You got us safely there and safely back. We are not supposed to eat and drink on the bus but you kindly let us when it was raining. You let us go inside and let us eat our lunch.

My favorites on camp were Slingshot Paintball, Flying fox, Paradise Valley, The Luge.

They were the most favorites in camp because I have never done any of them before. (except the luge, I have done it before) The flying fox was the scariest but I took one more step than I could.

So thank you so much for taking us to camp really safley. You are the best bus driver I have ever met in my entire life so thank you so much Ray!

October Reflection Newsletter

 Today we did our October Reflection.
I was excited to write about it because I wanted to tell everyone what camp was like and how that my article got in the newspaper for the blackberry to be removed.
I found it easy to write about camp and our enviro update
I found it tricky to write about athletics because I don't remember it that well.

Here is my October Reflection.
