Wellbeing with Miss McGrath
Wellbeing
Hi there bloggers , In Te Waka Ako the year 5s were taking about the wellbeing survey we talked about anti bullying week then we made an compliment circle also we a made an fortune teller about bullying. A fortune teller is you pick an colour then pick an number then pick another number then you chose it then you do it.
The second thing we did was the musical gratitude game where you have to walk around the class room and when the music stops you have to tell the person next to you to tell what your grateful for, it was very fun because the music was cool and it was silent that so you could hear the music.
A compliment circle is when somebody has to compliment somebody in the circle when it keeps going on and on but it was very slow and also if you want to make an fortune teller here is the link
When I had to talk I was very nervous and I did not no who to choose but I did not choose my friend because the teacher said not to chose your friend.
THIS IS WHAT A FORTUNE TELLER IS
COMMENT IF YOU MADE A FORTUNE TELLER

ANZAC TRENCH DAY
Hi there bloggers , yesterday I came to school and my friends told me that there was string in Te Waka Ako . When we came inside and the teachers said we had to stay inside the trenches for the day but not morning tea and lunch time. We did activities like a basic facts test but the teacher played gunfire on the speaker and bombs. It distracted me alot! That is why I finished fast so I did not have to listen to it again.
We wrote letters because on the battle field they wrote letters home. Some other things we did under the string were not so fun. The teachers were shooting us with nerf guns but I said to my friend that I thought adults don't play with toys because nerf guns are gun toys. Everybody was screaming loud because the teacher was shooting us and I almost got shot in the head from Ms Daly and the teachers were wearing war paint and wearing back clothes
The funny part was when the teacher was angry she said Lieutenant Sands and some people called them Sergeant and Commander and the hardest activity was when we had to be blindfolded and take the string away and also I really hated how we were cramped up together.
Coment If you want to do this becausetrust me you don't want to stay in the trench for 6 hours.
BYE!!!!!

Lockdown 4
Lock down 4
Hi bloggers , on Friday it was Lock down number 4 and the students had to do work at home. I forgot to do mine because I had to do work from kumon. My favourite activity with my family was when we played a game called octopus. I was the octopus. Also I made my whole family do an obstacle course and who ever won gets chocolate. I stole the chocolate from my brother's sweet stash.
When I saw the news and it said we are going to level 2 it was very cool that I was going to see my friends.

skateborading skills
Hello. 1 week ago my class, Kaiwhare, went to skate around the court. We learned very hard tricks. First we used the grass to do it to practice. It was easy on grass and also and we did something that was called the crab walk. The crab walk was kind of easy but Ben, the coach, made it more easy.

Space rocket
Hi bloggers. Yesterday we made rockets. I made my own rocket and the name is noob1234 rocket.
The application did not go well because my rocket had bad fins and I used a pump that blows air through it and we also had to curve paper. I wanted to make a rocket because people do fireworks near my house.
We also got a cylinder to make the main part of the rocket because some people do not know what to do. I did not get a buddiy because I wanted to have a go. We got a circle to curve it so it can be a circle Chinese hat to make the point of the rocket. These are the materials that we used: paper and Sellotape.
Here are the steps
1 get a paper
2 get a cylinder paper
3 get fins on the side
4 get the windows
Here is the pictures
