Letter of the Week - Week 6 Term 3

 This week the letter for my letter of the week was T. I had lots of names starting with T so I did my cats name and I think that using my cat's name made it a Supernova! 

Term 3 Whetu Workshop Reflection

 During Term 2 and 3 the Whetū students have had the opportunity to be involved in a range of different workshops.

The workshop that I have enjoyed participating in the most has been the Bean growing & Cooking.

The new learning that I have learnt is how to make Butter in Science with Cream. 

What I have most enjoyed about the workshops are that we learn new things like how to make Butter and watch my Bean grow and we get to do it for three days now and not one. 

 I am interested in learning more about Cooking because I really enjoyed it and would like to learn to cook some different recipes. 

Cooking Reflection

This week I chose to join the Cooking workshop option.

On the first day we planned the recipe & learnt about safety in the kitchen and kitchen risks. 

On the second day we cut up the vegetables so that the Soup would be ready to cook the next day. I brought some Celery & Broccoli for the soup. We also learnt about the Food Pyramid. 

On the third day we cooked the soup and ate it. It was really good and healthy because it had mostly all Vegetables in it. 

My Inquiry - Term 3

This is my Inquiry 'So What?'. I created a Poster to present my learning about the question 'Should animals be kept in Zoos?'. I sit on the Pro side - I think they should be kept in Zoos. It was really fun!!! Here is my Poster.

Cross Country Reflection 2020

This year I participated in the NPS Cross Country held at school on the Ngatea Domain. I ran in the 9yr old girl's age group and ran against some of the Whenua 9yr old girls. 

I am most proud of getting 8th because for the last 2 years I have come 13th and keeping on going when I felt like stopping. 

I think my effort towards our training at school was Supernova because I tried really hard and did my best. I did some walking because my legs got sore but mainly jogged the track.  

I showed the Learning Power of Resilience by keeping on going when I felt like stopping in my race. 

Literacy Investigation Questions - Week3 T3

This week I did all the questions for the Literacy Investigation. We could do a Diamante poem afterwards but I didn't have enough time to. I had a lot of fun with this task! Here are my answers!

1. Sun, Moon, Star, Daylight

2. Radiant, Golden, Calm, Silvery

3. Bright-Sun, Shine-Moon

4. They all end in “Ing”

5. It is shaped like a diamond 

6. They are both round and orbit the earth 

Chapter Challenge - Week 1 T3

 This term for Chapter Challenge we are reading Wink. It is about a boy who has Cancer in his eye and has to have a special type of treatment on his eye. For the first week I decided to do create the Freakout Scale of 1-10. It was really fun and it turned out really well! I think it is a Supernova because I put a lot of work into it.     

Whetu Challenge - Week 3 Term 3

This week for the Whetu Challenge we had to create a Cartoon scene. For the challenge we had to work in our Learning Constellation groups so it was a bit different than when we get to choose who we work with. My group did the Simpsons & I did Allison Taylor for my character. At first my character was Maude Flanders but she was too challenging so I decided to do another character that was a bit easier. My favourite group was the Kermits because their scene was very detailed and it was an eye-catcher. What I found hard was tracing Allison and getting the exact same colours as the image. I would like to do something similar again soon!

 

Letter of the Week - Week 2

This week's Letter of the Week was P. It was really fun finding words beginning with P. Letter of the Week has really helped me with my Nouns, Verbs, & Adjectives!
