Week 5, Term 1, 2021

 Monday was our school Swimming Sports. On the day I raced in one length freestyle and one length backstroke. I came 4th and 5th in the races. During relays, I cheered on Orewa.

We had two art sessions this week and I had to make a landscape but the different areas had different patterns. In the second art session we practiced painting, we had to create different shades of colors to paint the shapes.

In reading this week we have been doing book detectives, the book that we have been listening to is called The magic finger. To be a book detective we had to do summarising and predicting. 

Part of our maths programme is NumBots and I think I am quite good at it, I made it up to Chrome. It’s getting harder and harder, but not too hard for me

Week 4, Term 1, 2021

 The most interesting/fun thing we have done during class time this week was Takaro because I could play with different people.

We started our art this week and I have chosen to do art with Mrs Kennedy.  Our art is going to be a landscape, but the different areas have different patterns.

We created our Whetū stars on Thursday and they look Amazing, my one only had a few pictures, it still looks great. I did mine with Kiarna because my mum had to go to work. I’m really excited to see them on the ceiling/night sky!!!!

Next week we have our school swimming sports. I am feeling nervous because I’m not really a good swimmer, but I’m excited to cheer on my house team and friends!!!

Week 3, Term 1, 2021

 Someone who I helped with their learning this year was Heidi, I helped her link her blog and put her avatar on her blog.

The most interesting/fun thing we have done during class time is swimming cause it’s one of my favorite sports.

The most fun thing that I have done at a play or lunchtime this year was playing tug a war with all my friends.

One word that describes learning in Whetu is entertaining.

Something I am looking forward to is the Whetu challenge because so far all of the other ones have been very fun.

My Avatar 2021

 This year Whetu made avatars like last year. 

My avatar does not really look like me, but I tried.

It has a lighter skin tone than mine.

Case Closed

 During this term, we have been doing a crime scene we have to solve, and Mrs Taffee came to confess that she did the crime, we had proof so she could not lie. The proof was that: She came on the day the crime happen, her shoe is the right size, she went to the hairdressers after she dropped off stuff at school, Her fingerprints were on the crime scene, and of course there is much more proof.

Who: Mrs Taffee

What: Stole the HDMI and took a few Milky Ways (18).

Where: Whetu team, Milky Way room.

How:  Her casting was not working so she decided to take the HDMI in Whetu, she went to the office to turn off the alarm. She took the HDMI and a few Milky Ways.

When: Sunday 11th at 3pm was when the crime was discovered.

Grammar Cop

 This week I did Grammar Cop online. It was really fun to work on my grammar skills.

I had to add Capital letters and commas, basically fixing the sentence.

Letter of the week #5

For the letter of the week, the letter was C. I really like this one because I made it like the old ones I did the last term.

Athletics Reflection Term 4

 Yesterday was athletics day and I competed in the 9-year-olds. 
Sadly I didn't make it into any finals in the running races. The 200 meters was the most challenging one I found cause there were soooo many fast people in the race. 
 

The event I found the most enjoyable was shot-put, I love that I kept getting better on each try I do. ( I used Courage when I try to get better )

It was fun to cheer on other people from the grandstand even if I cheer on people from different house colors.  

Whetu Challenge Week 3: Wanted poster

 During Week 3 I and my friend Stephanie went on a mission to make the most WEIRDEST, most CRINGEST wanted poster of all!!! 

Now we have to talk about the poster we made...
The First name of our character was made by my dear friend Stephanie, she chose Jeffery.
I chose the last name, I wanted to make a pumpkin so I chose a weird word and pumpkin, then mixed together to make McWonkyPumpkin.  

Look down to see the photo of our wanted poster:

Fingerprinting Rotation

 Today Fred the Moths got to make their fingerprints.
The steps we had to do were:

Step 1: Rub your thumb into your hair to make it greasy.

Step 2: Press lightly on the window to receive your fingerprint.

Step 3: Carefully dust your fingerprint, then put tape over it.

Step 4: Remove the tape and place it on a black piece of paper. 

Here is how my fingerprint turned out:

I did my kind of Halloween themed, I really like the sentence I made.

Fingerprints Rotation Task

 During the 2nd week of Term 4, we have been learning about our fingerprints. I have learned that 16 weeks of being pregnant your child will get their fingerprints. I have 5 whorls and 5 loops. On Tuesday Sally came and explained what her job was,, it was finding fingerprints. I got to make my thumb fingerprint on the window.

Look at my fingerprints:

First Impressions on the First Day of School

On Monday the first day of school, my first impressions were... "Why is there tape in front of the door?" then I just ignored it and carried on with the things I do in the morning.  Then it was time for class it was the first time I saw the crime scene, my mind was quite confused.  Then I read the whiteboard. I think the whole idea of solving the crime is very exciting. I am excited to figure out the culprit!!!!

Letter of the week #10

 For this letter of the week, I went for a very different position or style from my other ones. I used pastel colors because they're right now my favorite colors.

Chapter Chat #8

 For Chapter Chat this week I did the HeadBanging Mixtape or CD, My song list has real songs that people don't really know about. My FAVORITE song I put on was, I have no time.

Te reo Maori language week challenge

 For Maori language week, our teachers of Whetu made us do a challenge. The challenge was to find a phrase, make an animation for when the phrase is best to use, and create a video of you saying the phrase correctly.

Letter of the week #8

For this week the letter was L, this one was really fun to make.

Cooking Reflection

 This week I joined the cooking group.

On the first day, we talked about safety in the kitchen and planning on what we need for the soup. (Mostly vegetables)

On the second day, we all brought our vegetables and cut them all up into small little slices.

On the third day, we ate the vegetable soup. (It was delicious) 

The part that I like the most was chopping up my potato and eating the buttered bread.

 For the letter of the week, the letter was J. I like this one a lot but not as much as my other ones.
