Film festival

On November the fourteenth we went to the film festival  which was held at the cinema.There was a lot of films some were funny and some were cringy.The film festival was kind of boring but it was also kind of fun.I think next time we do the film festival we should have a choice if we film or not because this time we did it all of our films except for one was submitted because pretty much everyone didn't want there film submitted.

Maths baking

On November 7th we did a maths project and our maths project was baking.We could either work by yourself or you could work in a group.I chose to work in a group,the people in the group were Ocean,Cj and Harry.We made brownies and added marshmallows on top.We cut it in quarters and ate it.We each had to bring cooking tools to school to cook.I had to bring a bunch of measuring cups and thingy brought a mixing bowl,measuring spoons,extra butter,baking paper and a tray. 

South Africa

On the 18 of September 2019 we had a south african themed week so we did south african activities and we had south african foods,our activities were recreating the colorful shacks they had in south africa with sticks and we recreated rock art that they use to do in the olden days with a frame tea bags and pencil and paint.We also had some south african food which was peppermint caramel tart,beef jerky and this other chocolate thing I can't remember the name.It was a pretty good week.

Staying safe online

We have been discussing at school this week about how to be safe online,and what we do to prevent bad online situations before they get bad.We have positive friendships online by approaching people in a nice way asking about what they do or what they like to do.We were taught when to report something that is dodgy and how to.First you report the bad picture or message and then if it gets really bad you block it.
So the last thing I will talk about is some tips on how to stay safe online:Don't sign in to a dodgy website or if you do don't sign in with your name,don't give personal details,don't click on bad links and don't search bad things.

Netball tournament

A few days ago we had a netball tournament and we played five matches that were twenty minutes long with two minute break in between.We didn't win any games but we did improve a lot as we carried on playing.Our last game we got really good we didn't win but it was a good game.It was also fun.I enjoyed the netball tournament a lot because I improved.

St John's

Today on the 22nd of the 8th we learnt about how to save someone's life.We were taught by a st john worker and her name is Katherine about if someone was lying on the ground knocked out what we would do to save someone.We were taught drsabcd which stands for danger,response,send for help,airway,breathing,cpr and defib/defibrillation.We ended up doing drsab and the st john worker said that she will come back and tell us about cd.We had to have partners to work with to do 3 activities she gave us.The first activity was how to help someone if they are unconscious you look for any surrounding danger then you respond to the patient so you tap them on their collar bone to see if they are sleeping.When they are sleeping they will wake up but if they don't respond to you.You send for help if there is no help, then check if they are breathing by putting your ear up close to their nose and put your hand in the middle of the chest, but before you do that tilt their head back because if they are unconscious their body goes floppy including the tung and if the tung flops back that will stop air from going through the airway.After we had to pull them on their side and rotate so that the next person will do the same thing.         

The year 7 and 8's went on a ski trip where we experienced how to stop and how to keep balanced while skiing.It was my first time skiing so I had no experience and then I started to get better the more I practiced.We had to do this test which was about turning around cones and at the start of the test I didn't get it so I did it again but by that time the instructor had left they said that we couldn't go up the medium hill Me and my friend Harry asked one of the instructors if they could watch us do the test again but they refused because it was kind of near the end of they day and they don't do anymore tests at the end of the day.So our principal took us to this place to ask if we can go up the medium hill and they said that they will get an instructor in five minutes.Later on the instructor took us up and we learnt how to ski down it.Then we had a couple more goes before we left.I enjoyed it and I am glad that I know how to ski.       

Winter weekend

On the 23 of May 2019
We went to the kiwi creche.When we were at the area where kiwi creche is we were sorted into groups and then we walked over into the kiwi creche where later we were told a little bit about the traps and were they were placed for the stoats,rats and weasels because they are the main threats to kiwis.How they would locate the kiwis is they would have an areal and find a sound and then when there is a sound that would be where the kiwi would be.Then each group would go do an activity and then we would swap to the next one.Our first activity we were told a lot about the traps and what they would use for bait to catch the predators by Paul.Each group has 20 mins each session and then we swap.Our next activity involved us looking at the kiwi but to do that we had to walk to it we also need to be quiet when we get there otherwise the kiwi will get startled.At the end we planted a plant but I'm not sure what it was.

Learning about coordinates and maps

These past few days we have been learning to use maps and we have been doing coordinates and directions.We have been writing on worksheets that helped us write our own.Then we got a sheet that we had to draw directions through and around the school.Then when we were done our map our teacher took our map and then picked the best one to use for a treasure hunt.After she picked the map we all had to use it to find the treasure.We used the directions on the map to find it.My favourite activity was the treasure hunt.

 

Paper Planes

We were doing a paper plane contest where we line the cones up on the ground until it got to the end and then we would wait until our names were called,when they were  we walk up to the throwing point and throw our plane as far as we could.Then where ever it landed next to the cones they would count up from the starting cones to where it landed.
