While we were playing volleyball outside it started to rain. Our teacher already had a plan in case it would rain. Since we were inside now we were unable to play with the ball so we used balloons to play volleyball. Another twist to the game was that we had to stay on our bottoms and we could only shuffle along the floor to get the balloon. I enjoyed playing this game and it was a great way to end the Friday.
We are a class of Year 6 and 7 students at Glen Innes School in Auckland "The city of Sails" New Zealand. Our teacher is Mrs Manor Ramkolowan

Rebecca- A play with Words: World Peas
For the past few days we have been learning about puns. For our art we had to draw our pun on paper. My pun is "I finally achieved world peas."I learnt that puns are a play of words. Our teacher brain washed us. She got a plastic bowl, water and she washed the sponge brain. I also did a pun. I had fun drawing my pun and I hope to do it again.

Harrison - What goes up ..must come down
We had to make a simple machine to show our learning about our topic study. I decided to make one using pulleys which is a wheel with a grooved rim around which a cord passes, which acts to change the direction of a force applied to the cord and is used to raise heavy weights. Mine is called "What goes up... must come down". It took a while to make but was deffinetly worth it.

Alicia: Connecting Reading Goals to Learning
Activity 1.
|
Activity 2.
Harmful chemicals that are used to kill weeds could accidentally get into your system which could either kill you or cause you to need urgent care.
Killing pests like possums could easily be killed safely without those boxes that attract them. Toddlers could think that they are playhouses but little do they know, it can kill them.
Bits of poison that are put in the garden to kill snails could be chewed by a baby. We all know that if this happens, it will end up faulty.

Today I have chosen these two activities to post on my blog. The reason I picked these two activities was it connected to my goals for this year. One of my goals is finding information and writing about it. Doing this can help me improve in writing. My first activity is an advertisement about why people should buy white fly traps. The other activity on the right is about the consequences of using harmful products to kill weeds or pests. I am trying hard to accelerate at my reading.

Harrison- Puzzle: Integers
WALHT: Get familiar with words associated with integers.
This puzzle helped to expand my vocabulary on integers. Some of the new weird words that I learnt were: absolute, inequality and operation. I really enjoyed doing this activity because it challenged me to think about word that could relate to the topic. I believe that this was a good use of my time as it helped to broaden my vocabulary.

Zain- Raksha Bandan; Brothers and Sisters Day
Last weekend it was Raksha Bandhan and it ended yesterday. Raksha Bandhan is a Indian event that happens once a year. If you are Indian and you have a sister they have to tie this onto his hand. The brother has to give a gift to the sister. I gave my sister a nail polish set because she likes putting on makeup and nail polish. If you have any close girl cousin then they can ty it to your hand too. One of the three was tied by my sister and the other two were tied by my 2 cousins Ashleen and Ashilta. Sisters also have to feed their brothers sweets. I was really excited to get fed the sweets!!

Jolie- Maori Himene
Today my class and I had maori with Ms Maude and we also learnt a new song called E Te Ariki. This is also called a himene some people may pronounce it as hi - me - ne but it is actually pronounced as Hymn. I knew the song of by heart and was I happy to harmonise with the rest of the children. It was really funny when the boys were learning their part but it was cool when we found out one of the boys could sing. I can't wait for the next maori practice because on that day we are going to learn a Karakia.

Siunipa- Pies
Today at tech we finished the second part of our pie. We melted the mince and cut out the pastry into a circle and filled our pie plates. This was really fun, but we had a pastry malfunction. Our pastry got to soft and it got stuck to our chopping board. The pie was very delicious and I want to try and make this at home with my mum. I also got to decorate my pie a little bit.

Harrison- Winter Blogging
Over the winter holiday period, and Term 2 break, I traveled all around New Zealand from the comfort of my den...
I went with all of my fellow Maniakalani bloggers and visited several different places in our beautiful country presently covered in a dusting from the Long White cloud know as New Zealand that I hadn't been to before...and probably wouldn't of known about if I hadn't been on this virtual learning journey.
I explored the awesome city of sails - Auckland. I tried some Maori cuisine. I got to see an amazing All Blacks haka live at Eden Park. I got to celebrate the Maori new year known as Matariki. I rode a bike along the Otago Central Rail Trail and I got to visit Farewell Spit which is really now just a whale graveyard.
I even got to prove that the moa still exists!
I have enjoyed my journey, but perhaps this sums it up better that I can...
