My flat Stanley

 This term, and last term, Tui class and a class in Australia, made flat Stanley's . So what we did is both of the classes got in touch with each other and decided to send Flat Stanley's to each other.You are probably wondering what is a flat Stanley? Here's a photo.

So that's what mine looks like and her name's Hannah and she came all the away from Australia. She's done a lot with me like going to the farm , camp and hanging out with me at home.My Flat Stanley basically is like a dog that follows you everywhere. Who knows what else she will get up to?

my reflection of my information report about Koalas

 Last week Tui class wrote a information report about a animal and ever one did one.I did one about koalas on a slide ,I wrote some facts about them and were they live and everyone did a different reports about a animal.

  Koalas are one of my favourite animals because they look so cute and are very kind animals. Koalas only live in Australia are there are 100,000 koalas left in the world . people think koalas are bears but they are not , they are actually cousins with kangaroos and wombats.

Did you no that they can live to twenty years but sadly there half of their forest is burnt because in Australia it is very hot and the trees catch on fire.Did you know they love cuddles and are very gentle most of the time.I have two toy koalas , one of them I had since I was three and the other one I had when i just turned nine.

Read my awesome facts about Koala's on my presentation.

 Mahi tahi challenge

Last week we did Mahi Tahi and we got into groups with people to do the film festival . So firstly we had to discuss the film and what it was going to be like . It was very hard because people were distracting each other when we needed to work.

But then we got sent off to film it . It was hard to communicate as a group. In the film we had to use the four cs, communication, critical thinking , creativity and collaboration . We used creativity and critical thinking but we needed 50% communication and collaboration. 

Then Mrs Cutler said if you don't want to go into the film festival you don't have to and so I joined another group and we have almost finished and we used all the four cs.

JW Homeschooling

 Homeschool 

On June the 1st I woke up and had a sip of my hot chocolate in my mug. It had fluffy marshmallows in it that made it yummy. I went and got my bag and got my pencil case with my pens in it .Then I got my Maths book to answer my eleven times table questions.

After that I listened to music through my headphones from my Ipod , the song was called Be Happy. I had a nice healthy salad. I next went for a bike ride and popped on my helmet and went for a ride around the neighbourhood. On the way back I saw a friend and had a little chat. When I got back I had a muesli bar then finished off my eleven times tables. 

After I did my maths I went on my laptop to relax and I watched a movie called The Lama Next Door, it was super funny . 

I put my pencil case back with my pens, my maths book, my headphones, my laptop back in my bag and put my helmet and bike in the shed, and went to have dinner and finished homeschooling for the day.

Fun Friday

 My fun Friday

On Friday 14 of August I had to stay home because my mum was in Auckland the last weekend to go see my cousin. Then covid started to rise in Auckland and people didn't know it was there. 

So on Friday afternoon my mum went to go have a test and we had to wait till Sunday to find out the test and it was negative so that was good , so let get to the fun friday.Sadly I could not go to the Waitangi treaty ground but I still had a pretty go time to.So firstly in the morning We had to go to the farm to shifted cows and feed calves which was cool to see.

Then in the afternoon I made a balloon so I put layers of balloons on top of each other and filled it up with water and it looked massive.

Then I froze it for 24 hours and then had dinner and went to bed. Then in the morning I cut the balloons layers and it looked amazing and very cold too and that was my fun Friday.

MY speech reflection

MY speech

So on Monday the 3rd of August half of the people in our class presented their speeches. I presented my speech to our class and Miss Slattery. We had a list of topics and I chose ‘Do pets deserve the same care as humans?’ . I was scared at the start but when I got into the middle of the speech I felt good, then it was the next person’s turn. It took me 3 days to write my speech and 5 days to practice it .Some of the words were tricky in it, but I learnt how to say it and I enjoyed it.
