Malo to samoan language week

Afio mai to Samoan language Week.

The cultural leaders opened the week with their national costume and dance.

In room 6 we have been exploring the Samoan Cultural with general facts.  We searched
for our fact card around the room and collected information for our Jigsaw Reading Hunt.

Next our Samoan experts in class gave us a lesson on greetings and phrases in Samoan.

Then we moved onto counting to ten in Samoan for math before finishing our math session with a clapping game in Samoan.

Happy birthday Suzanne Aubert

Ra Whanau Suzanne Aubert

In room 6 we have been celebrating Suzanne Aubert’s birthday by making flowers for the theme, “Always choose the little flower of hope.”

Suzanne looked after sick people, people with disabilities, children whose families couldn’t care for them, and the elderly. The work she started continues to this day in places like Wellington’s Compassion Soup Kitchen.

Suzanne left her home in France and came to Aotearoa to support the Maori people. She honoured the Maori people, their tikanga, reo and rongoa. Suzanne loved God and always thought about what he wanted her to do, not what she wanted, even when that wasn’t easy.

Lights,camera,action assembly.

Room 6 presented their learning about not being a bystander at their assembly on Friday Week 3.In Week 3 all school around New Zealand made a stand by wearing pink.Pink stood for peaceful ,inclusive,noble and kind. Our assembly was a success and we all had fun.

Maori verbs

In room 6 we have been learning verbs in Maori (action words.)the question is "kei te aha ia ?'which means what is S/he doing.Ia is the pronoun for both he and she.
We have matched verbs up,filled in crosswords and played Simon says.

The ascension of the Lord

In RE we learnt about the ascension of Jesus. At Galilee Jesus told his disciples to take his gospel
to the whole world.He promised to send the Holy spirit to be with us always and then he returned, in glory to his Father in Heaven.

City Rail Link Art

As part of an art class with Miss Down we created images that will be displayed in the country’s busiest rail station, once it opens to the public in 2023/2024.

This images will be used and turned in a ceramic tile and display within the station.

The Lesson

I am learning to: write a narrative based on a photo
Once there was a 12 year old boy named Zac he hated cleaning his room, he also had a really messy room. It looked like pigs lived in there. His mum always came into his room and started nagging at him, she would say “Zac why haven’t you cleaned your room?” or “your room is so messy!” He was a rather lazy boy. He told his mum he would rather play Fortnite Battle Royale on his Xbox 1s.

Zac thought of building a robot to clean his room for him. He went on his Macbook and searched for a robot on Amazon.com that could clean his room then finally he found a robot that was bright red called the Clean-o-matic. But what Zac didn't know was that there was a red button that had a warning label that said... watch out if touched then the robot will shred everything in sight.

Zac was watching television at the time but then there was a knock at his front door, it was the mail man. Zac opened the door to see the mailman he said “I have a package for Zac Mires”.

He jumped with happiness then he snatched the package and sprinted up to his room. He started to build the robot, he started to connect all the wires and it looked really cool. The Clean-o-matic was turned on by Zac. He accidentally hit the red button with his elbow then the Clean-o-matic went ballistic and shredded up his entire room.

Zac’s mum entered the room and saw the Clean-o-matic going ballistic then she got a broom and started wacking the Clean-o-matic like crazy. Electricity started to fly out of the machine and Zac ran and got a really strong stick and also started wacking the robot. Suddenly the robot went even faster messing up his room, the robot also had black smoke coming out of the back. Zac threw an apple at the robot then the robot slowed down. Then his mum ran and turned the robot off. Zac and his mom sat in relief knowing that the robot had stopped.

From that day on Zac had learned his lesson so he cleaned his room every single day and he also didn’t order a robot to clean his room ever again. Zac then threw the Clean-o-matic in the rubbish bin.

Cyber safety rules

Room 6 has been learning about cyber safety.  We have learnt a lot about being a digital citizen.
Here are three key rules that I think are important:

1. Be careful of what you post on the internet.  All information and images leave a digital footprint.

2. Never share your personal details such as full name, age, address and passwords with any people who say they know you.

3. Be nice! No one likes a digital bully.  Be respectful and be a great digital citizen.

If you are ever unsure check with an ADULT!  

I have a growth mindset

I have made a bunting motto that shows my growth mindset.

Growth Mindset

“All things are difficult before they are easy”

To me this mindset means.

You can’t just do something and expect that it will be easy.

I could use this mindset when

When I'm trying to do something hard and doing self talk, so saying that your good at something but not being really good at and I am still learning.

Me Board

For the past few weeks I've been telling about ourselves through our Me Boards.  

This is me

I am learning how to post a photo on my blog.

Disgusting Vegetables

I am learning to inform my audience by sharing an interesting moment.

It was a frosty cold evening and we were going to have dinner. I was playing until I smelt something very nice so I went to go see what it was. On my way there I was surprised because...dun dun duuuuun! I saw that there was vegetables, I hate vegetables.

And then It was at this moment that I decided I did not want to eat dinner, I felt like I lost my appetite but then I realized that I could just eat the cornbeef and not the vegetables.I was 5 at the time but still I thought to myself that I should at least try them but they were disgusting.

So then I asked if I was aloud to go outside and eat and then I tried to chuck the vegetables on the ground but then my sister saw me out of her bedroom window and then all I heard was her screaming wils!!! Through his food on the ground and then I was frozen for about 5 seconds until my mum called me to go to her and at that moment I knew that I was in trouble.

Holiday Adventure to the Pools

We went to a very liquidly place that was very refreshing and cold. It was also so hot and I felt really hot until i jumped in and felt the nice and freezing water on my skin.  My cousin did a manu bomb into the water and it made a big splash and everyone was surprised. I tried to do a bomb too but I back slapped the water and it hurt.
