Orana Park

Hi,
On Monday we went to Orana Park. So first we have waited inside the entry of the school for the bus so we are closer to the outside. We can also see the bus through the window. So we were in a groups so the groups was 1 and 2 so I was in the group 2 so I got splited with some of my friends and some of my friends were with me. When the bus came in the school the group one went first to get in the bus then a few minutes the group 2 was heading to the bus. Few people went to the van with a teacher driving. Then we got inside the bus and sit on the sites inside the bus and we were inside the bus for a few minutes and we finally got off the bus. We waited outside the gate of the Orana Park and waited for the teachers that leads us were to go inside the Orana Park and also talk about the expectations inside the Orana Park.

When we got inside the Orana Park we went to the Meerkats and took a picture of them because they were so cool but they are quite small but cute. After we saw the Meerkats we walk to the then past the

playground at the Orana Park.  Then we keep on walking until we got to the river were ducks swims and that is were we got splited into our groups. But the teachers also talk about what we don't do to the animals. After that talking we went inside the little house were the reptiles lives and others like frogs that lives there they were camouflaging because there skin is green and were they live is green because leaves are green and also the frogs.

When we were finish at the little house we went to the spider monkey the spider monkeys is lot like a monkey because the shape of their body and also the skin. So spider monkeys are on a little Island and that is were they live and there is a water around there home that's why they don't get away from the park. There homes has lots of ropes because they like climbing. They ate grass from the home were they live because all over their home has a grass and its actually look like a hill field. But they weren't there because they are still inside their house and we just got to look at the spider monkeys on a window.

After we look at the spider monkey we when to the Lions they were actually pretty big and the teacher said that they grown more than they thought. So there was 9 Lions all together in the Orana Park and
when we saw them one lion was roaring and it was actually pretty loud but. After we saw the spider monkeys we saw the springbook and one of them was closer so we got a closer look and the springbook was digging.

When we walk we got to the tiger and the tiger wasn't there maybe it was in the cage.

War Horse

Digital Tech

Hi,
In Digital Tech we have to write a reflection about scratch and sphero. So first I have write about the scratch. Scratch is a coding game in scratch you can make your own game and also play your classmates scratch that they have made. Sphero and scratch is kind of similar because in scratch you code it and you put the blocks to control the character. In sphero you also use a block to control the robot then it will move by itself. If they ask me what I prefer I would pick sphero because it is a robot and you can make the block to make it move like on scratch and also you can control it with a joystick.
So in sphero we use an Ipad and we can't put the link in our blog because it is in an ipad.

What is scratch- Scratch is a software or computer programme. In Scratch you can make games and animations.
What is sphero- Sphero is a robot that is sphere and you can play with it you can connect your ipad in the robot.

What do they have in common- Scratch and sphero are similar because they have the coding.
Which app do you prefer to us why- I prefer to choose sphero because it is fun and also easy to use.
How can you use that app to solve your problem- Scratch can help make a work of an animation bot like sphero.

Hurumanu PE

Hi,
in the last few weeks we have been doing hurumanu PE. So we are practising how to teach our classmates how to play basket ball so each team has a different kinds of sports so they also have to teach us what sport they are doing. So before our team do some practise we have to do a maths in maths we have been measuring the field and also figuring out how many buckets of paint we need to pain the whole field. So in our groups there is six of us and we half it again and there is one only three of us now so the three of us trying to figure out what is the answer to the questions.

After the maths the second half of Hurumanu PE we practise the Basketball that we are going to teach. So first we have to practice our warm up then the drills so our warm up. So we started our drills so our drills was layups and shooting from the free pointer. Also different drills when the second half is almost done we have played a big game of basketball and when we started the bell ring and we did not get to play that long.

After that week we have played bench ball the team french fries teach us how to play bench ball so first we did some warm up the warm up was star jump, high knees, sprints, sneak up on granny. When we played sneak up on granny I tried my best to be the granny and a run as fast as I could when the granny isn't looking and I manage to touch the granny and I become granny. It was fun for me when I become granny.

After the warm we have played bench ball so first the year 7 vs year 7 then the other side is year 8 vs year 8. So I am a year 7 so I played in the year 7 after a few minutes our team has lost in the game of bench ball but it was still fun. When we have come back from lunch we were versing all of the year 8 and there is all of the year 7 also. It was fun because the game was so big and the bench was long and we have more space. There was no outline so it was more fun. When they passed the ball to me I throw it as hard as I can to get it closer to my classmates beside the bench. We were trying our best to win but a few minutes later we lost to the year eights because they are so good at playing bench ball.

Here is a photo of us playing bench ball I hope you like the blog post that I have done.

Ella West

Hi,
In the assembly Ella West visited our school because a class read her book and she so the blogs of the class and she likes it and she wanted to go to the school. When we got in the auditorium we all sat down on the chairs and waited for the assembly to start. So first a student speaks and welcoming Ella West. After that Ella West went up on the stage and speaks at the stage. So first she talk about the Night Vision book when we she talking about it she was putting some pictures up on the projector so we can see what she's talking about. So the picture was a car that was burning on fire so she said what are the ways to kill people then other students from other classes put their hands up and says some ways to kill other people so the student said you can burn them because they so the car burning on the projector so they had the idea to say it. The next photo was a sheeps on the farm so Ella West said this place has no people and it is quite no cars driving around the road and no aeroplane a lot flying above the sky. So she also talked about a baby that was not allowed to get sun on her skin so she wears a plastic to cover her face and also a clothe for the body. Then she put a photo of a forest and she said about the forest if you got loss in the forest you see a helicopter above the sky and light it and they will see you because they are wearing Night Vision googles. So they will see you because if you wear a night vision googles and a light goes in your eyes it will blind you because it is so bright and you will just see white. Then she put a photo of her dog then she said that the dog in the night vision story was a real dog and it was her dog.

Digital Tech

Hi,
In digital tech we have been researching some information about the issues in the earth. So first be fore we did some research we have to pick what we are going to research about.

I have chosen to do the environmental issue so in the environmental issue I search about the air pollution and also search up ( Why did they use plastic in the first place when it is going to make the air polluted? ) I have chosen this issue because the air is getting polluted so I want to research about the Environmental Issue because in the environment there's some pollution. So I got interested in the environmental Issue then I have research why did we use plastic in the first place and it says that is was use first in US and they use it for the radar that allowed them to place it in the aeroplane.

So the teacher has shared us a document so we can put the things that we have research in google. When we are researching we have to right it in our own words in the document. Then in the document there is a columns and it says that we have to come up with our own questions so I put my own question in the column then I have to search it up in google and right what I found in my own words at the bottom of the question. After we done that there is a column beside the question and it says what was in the first research that you search up in google and we have to write about what was in the google that I have search. There is 3 columns that says that so that is what we have done in digital tech so far.
