Howick Historical Village

LI: to make a collage about the “Howick Historical Village”.

This week me and the LS block went on a trip to the “Howick Historical Village”, LS2 and LS1 got split up into 3 mixed groups for each group to explore the “Howick Historical Village”, my favourite part of the “Howick Historical Village” was to learn about what was going on back in the 80’s, our first activity was that we walked around in the middle of the “Howick Historical Village” woods, which we found a old house, then our second activity was to built a vehicle that was used for fun back in the 80’s and to probably get around in the country, which was to build a trolley, and after that our last activity was that we learnt about the life of the 80’s when the womens job was t0 milk cows and feed their pigs milk while the mens job was to gather water and wood for their family.

I enjoyed this “Howick Historical Village” trip because I love exploring the past.

Rags to Riches

This week my teacher gave me a link to play a game called rags to riches, it is a game where you can answer some questions and find out if maybe you can win 1 million dollars, I got up to 64,000 dollars, the questions were about simple, complex and compound sentences, if your confused a simple sentence is a sentence that has a noun and a verb like for example: the cat sat on the mat.

I enjoyed this activity because I love challenges.

Rounding up numbers

Today my activity was to learn about something that is similar than place value, rounding up numbers, for me, me and my group had to round numbers up to the millions and two decimal places, i got free tips like “we round numbers to a specific place value. which means that every digit after that place becomes a zero.

Taniwha name

Today my activity that I did was to design a taniwha with my name along it, and by designing I mean about creating it on a google drawing, for me I had to think of my taniwha name and design it on a paper like following blueprints, when im done with my drawing of my taniwha i just have to design for real on a google drawing.

I enjoyed this activity because I get to learn how to design nice things.

Moment in Time with Maungarei

Today me and my group’s task was to talk about what we heard, saw, felt and wondered of us walking up the mountain, which was to compare all of that to our work which is in a DLO. What I liked about this activity was about talking about our maunga/mountain.

I enjoy this activity because I want to improve my learning on trying to compare myself to other people.

Moment in Time

Today me and my group’s task was to watch a video of a man hiding from a polar bear, and comparing it with ourselves of what would we hear, see, feel and think, only if that was us in the video hiding from the polar bear. What I liked about this activity was that we would get to share the things of what we would hear, see, feel and think.

I enjoy this activity because of learning how to compare other peoples adventures and journeys to myself.

2024 Blog Count

Today our task was to count all our blogs that are from 2020 and 2023, which is like a 2024 task so I can restart and start on my 2024 blog posts on my edublog/blog blurb, I know that I have 234 blog posts because I used my maths by adding up each of my blog posts from each year or each month, and that I added some information and I took a picture of it. I liked this activity because I liked this activity because my favourite subject is maths.

I enjoy this activity because I like achieveing my goals and blogging it.

Sound Focus DLO

Today our task was to make a DLO of sound focus, which we are focusing on the sounds of the vowels, there are two differents types of sounds of the vowels, the short vowels and the long vowels, the long vowels sounds say the letters name while the short vowels sounds say the sounds of the letter. I liked this activity because of learning more about the vowels and the sounds of it.

I enjoy this activity because I like finding out about new words, sounds and sounds of vowels.

Care Values X Treaty of Waitangi

Today me and my group’s task was to write about our school care values compared to the Treaty of Waitangi. Our school care values are confidence, attitude, respect and excellence, which me and my group compared them to the story of the Treaty of Waitangi. I liked this because it shows information of the discovery of NZ.

I enjoy this activity because I liked finding out information of the discovery of how the maori people found NZ.

Taniwha Name

Today my task was to create my name disguised as a taniwha. A taniwha is a maori monster that is made up in maori traditional stories, which I chose a sea taniwha. I liked doing my taniwha name because it shows of who I am.
