Swimsafe

On the start of Monday room 8 went to the Te Rapa pools for swimsafe. In this photo Adam and I were having a race using our kicking on our backs holding a flutter board in front of our stomachs.

Panda Report

My favourite fact about my animal report is that the Panda bear is a herbivore that means a plant eater and a carnivore is a meat eater and if a animal eats plants and meat that means it's a omnivore. There are all different kind of animals in the whole entire world. Aidan in room 8 has a report about a Tasmanian Devil. They have really sharp teeth. Adam and Nastazio has a report about the Rhino even Adam bought in some Rhino horns and some Rhino foot steps. But they are not real because the are just made out of white and brown clay but to me they look real. Jack and Caelan have a report about the king cobra snake. It's the longest snake in the world and it's enemy is a mongoose. Jayden H has a animal that's the king of the jungle yes it is the great big orange lion. !!!!!!!ROAR ROAR!!!!!!!

My Chinese Kite

 

My Chinese kite with my 3 wishes. My three wishes are:

Science- Planting Bean Seeds

This year room 8 has been doing some sience experiments about planting bean seeds to take home after they have  grown, but not fully grown. This is Nastazio holding his bean plant and he is putting some water in  his cup so his plant won't get dry. I'm going to tell you the steps for planting a bean plant.

1st step is you get a container or a planting pot or a plastic cup like room 8 has. Then put a wet  paper towel into the plastic cup and get your seed and place into your plastic cup.
2nd step is you take your bean seed out of the plastic cup and put some soil into the your plastic cup and make a finger hole in the soil and place the bean seed in the finger hole and cover the bean seed and then go to a tap and grab a sponge and soak it. Then squeaze the water into the plastic cup and put your plastic cup on the window sill in the sun. Then watch it grow!!

Term 3 Reflection Making The Taniwha

Last week room 8 started to draw taniwha's upside down. Mrs Hood told us to turn the white paper around. When room 8 finished the taniwha we all had to turn the paper the right way up  and when we all did  the picture looked like a taniwha that goes on the side front or the back of a Marae. Taniwhas's are brown  with oyster shells for their eyes. Most of the taniwha's around New Zealand  poke their tongues out and their eyes have to be really really big. Do you know what happens to a Taniwha to make it look like one? Well Taniwha's get carved with koru's, Maori pattern's and anything you want to carve on them. My brother Judah use to carve keys for a birthday gift. My brother always use to do that for me. He carved my mum a key and he carved my dad a Taniwha.
Here is a picture of my Taniwha.

The All Blacks Competition

On Wednesday Mac's mum emailed Mrs Hood for a competition about the ALL BLACKS. We were pretending to be at the Waikato stadium and dressed up in black and also had to paint our face with black face paint. Room8 went into the hall to take a photo shoot for the competition. Aidan and Baki were the ARGENTINIANS and there were three of each person in the photo. Georgia and I were eating the 2 hot dogs, Mac and Joseph were holding the big black Silver Fern ALL BLACK flag and Oisin.Nastazio and Susanna were doing the Mexican wave.

GymSport Competition

On Wednesday most of the school were participating in a competition at the gymnastic stadium.
Vardon was versing the other schools. The three dance styles were cheerleading, aerobics and last of all the hip hoppers. The Vardon middle girls cheerleading team was called the Glory Girls. My hip hop group was called the Inspiring hip hoppers Mrs Natasha's group was called the funky hip hoppers and I forgot the other hip hoppers with Mrs Workman.

Term 2 Reflection

One thing I liked about term 2 was the Trashion show because I liked being the model and I thought that the Fruit Burst costume was cool. My favourite class shows were the circus performers and the lolly show. I really liked the Candy Floss garment under fluro lights.

 One thing that I found a challenge is that I'm proud of my maths,working in a team,helping other people out in their maths,reading and writing I'm also proud of what kind of work I'm doing and how I've made a new lolly out of my own name.

Trashion Show

 

My favorite part about the Trashion Show was when I was the model and walking down the catwalk. I felt so nervous that I didn't want to go down the catwalk at all, but then it was my turn and off I went. My group was the Fruit Burst. This is picture of Ashlee Joseph and I making the garments head peice.   

Room 8 making garments!!

On Friday room 8 and room 4 were making garments. We made the garments out of paper I wasn't there when room 4 and room 8 were making the garments. A girl named Kaliyah was wearing the costume for the fruit burst.

Amazing trip to the museum!

Last friday room 8 and room 7 went to the museum. We learnt all about different costumes. The photo next to my writing was in a little black glowing room, half of my t-shirt was glowing. Ashlee was glowing the most because she had the most white clothing on. We are also learning about waste to wow.  It is a project about making costumes out of bottle caps and also leather. We also saw in the glowing room two vampire people and a butterfly lady. She is the one who has butterflies around her and butterflies on her. She looked so pretty and the vampires looked so scary. Some of the class were getting scare. One of the costumes wase made out of suitcases. That was funny because the helmet was made out of suitcases too, but the best one I liked was the clock tower. It was made out of a lot of plastic and painted clocks. The lady showed us  something like metal (copper) and you can make a fan out of it. Anyway I loved it at the museum. Briian Georgia and Sussana  and  I were makng a hat out of paper. Whoever had the most black on was the one who wears the hat in the glowing room. In my group Georgia was the one who had to wear the hat at the end.

Me posters

Room 8 has been working on our Me posters. There are different boxes  that you can write in. The boxes have different little speeches in it. For example there might be one that says ''do you like chocalate yes or no? I of course answered yes, I do like chocolate.

Mrs Parahas

Last Friday it was Mrs Parahas last day. Some of the class brought baby stuff. I brought a hat and it goes with the bunny suit. She was happy with her present. she will have her baby soon.
