The bike track

Welcome back to my blog.

Today I will tell you about the bike track.

In our school there has been around 15 students picked for designing a bike track for our school.

I am one of the ones that have been chosen.

At the moment we have just shared our ideas but we have a ruff idea of what it's going to look like.

having a slow route, medium rote and a fast route was common in our talk and also having a ramp was common.

We are working with a guy called Danny and his is a landscape designer.

When we have a more solid idea about it I'll blog about it!

Question: 

Have you ever designed something for your school?

I hope you enjoyed my blog post!

The magical fruit

A long time ago there was a King with a magical palace, in the magical palace the King has a wizard that brewed up a magical fruit that granted him the power all mighty. ⅔’s of the world was under his command! He started growing bitter and cruel he wanted only to be richest man with know one in his life, just complete control over the world. So many slaves would make his money and they would all live in the dungeon nothing would cost anything and he would have anything he wants!

It was just a dream he thought, but was it? 

A year went past, then another, then another

And then he was crowned king of the whole world that's 6.885/6.885 people, the whole world i'm telling you, the whole world!

People came more poor and the world couldn't handle so as we all know China makes all of our stuff so they made a bomb only an inch smaller than the world! 

"What a lovely bomb."

"Yes Yes it is amazing probable our best work yet."

"Ahh." The Sargent sighed with amazement

"Well its time to blow it and the world up."

And then they blew it up.

The end!

It was a great experience listening to an Author live and not just on a video.

What is your favorite story of his? 

Production reveiw

This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about cultural stories and the big question was;
What is the significance in the 21st Century of our Cultural stories?

First we brainstormed what culture is and came up with lots of ideas Like Where do we come from? 
Then we thought about our own culture and talked to our parents about our traditions and heritage. I wrote a post about my family and things we like to do.
In Literacy we read and discussed myths and legends from around the world then we concentrated on Maori legends. I read Maui and the sun and Maui and the big fish. I have written my own legend called How the white horse turned into a Zebra.
We made a performance about the story Battle of the Mountains. Some students wrote the script, some students took on the job of making all the artwork, some worked hard on organising the music and others took on the role of bringing the story alive with dance and drama.

I'm the one that is leaning back 

Reflection: 
For our production I contributed by helping to make up four dances.

I think the show might impact on others by sharing a Maori story they might not know about.

What I learned about working with others was that everyone has to Contribute to make the show great.



Do you know many Maori legends?

The best swimming that we did

Welcome back to this beautiful blog of mine.

Today I will talk to you about how our splendid school swimming went.

We started our swimming lessons two weeks ago and finished last week on fabulous Friday. The first day, we swam and got into groups and then for the rest of the week we swam with those groups. For Monday and Tuesday in the second week we also swam in those groups and then for the rest of the second week we did water safety. On Wednesday we wore life jackets and tried to swim quickly in a line and then form a huddle.

On Thursday we had our life jackets on and tried to get the whole team in the boat.

On the other side of the pool on Thursday we had a scenario and we had to try and think of what we could do to get to safety.

On Friday I was not there but it was just you had your PJ's on and had your togs on underneath, then took them of and see how light it is with just your togs on.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post and 

have you ever done swimming lessons with school or just by yourself or just swim for fun?

Bye
