Bug Hunting! No Way!

Walt: To write a recount about our bug hunt experience.
What was our teacher thinking? Turning his students into bug hunters , no way I would ever become a bug hunter! Carry on reading because you WON’T believe what happen!

Our morning started with getting ready for our bug hunt. As for getting ready we walked poilety to our field and got into groups of three to four. The group that I was in had Pisirina , Jahzara and I. While we were getting ready I was nervous to what was going to happen , because bug hunting doesn't really sound like my thing.
Not long after the bug hunt started! During our bug hunt my team kinda mucked around. Since Pisirina is the queen bee she was calling her bee’s but none came , hahaha. After our time was done our time didn’t find any bugs but we tried ish. Overall searching for bugs wasn’t the best , but luckily I didn’t get to hold it! I wondered which team got the BEST bug overall? 

It was now the time everyone was waiting for , the prize giving for the group who found the BEST BUG! I definitely knew that our team wasn’t going to win , that reason is because we didn’t find ANY bugs! First we had a drum roll , then Mrs Timmi announced who won! Sonnia , Arthur and Zamera! Lucky them , but hard luck them because they didn’t win any.

My thoughts on this experience was quite weird , and now most of us know that Mr Goodwin makes up very weird experiences for us. Overall this experience was quite weird but overall it was fun , and if Mr Goodwin you are reading this please don’t let us do a bug hunt even though I kinda liked. As well as thank you for not letting us touch the bug. Stay tune to what else Mr Goodwin is going to make us do for another experience.

Task Description:

For our task we are practicing our recount writing for our upcoming test. For our experience we went out bug hunting! Not so great right. But I did lots of writing , mostly making sure that my writing is written correctly and have correct spelling.

Being Blindfolded!

Walt: To create a recount about our experience.

Being blindfolded sounds fun right? Well being directed by someone else on a very sketchy park , doesn't sound so great any more! Continue reading to find out how my blindfolded experience went.

During our walk down to the park I was wondering what was Mr Goodwin going to make us do this time! As well as what was in the bright yellow plastic bag he was holding. Being blindfolded was the coolest idea ever! As the word blindfolded came out of his mouth I started freaking out in my mind , screaming because how fun it sound! Soon later we got told to choose a buddy , I choose Lillyana since she was super close to me. Not long after we got to start.

Being blindfolded to me sounded great , but being blindfolded in reality wasn’t so great at all! Lillyana grabbed my hand and she lead me around the park and through obstacles that were built onto the park. I felt as nervous as a snail getting crushed by a human's foot! At first I didn’t really trust Lillyana for some odd reason. But I made it through. “ Stop and listen! “ shouted Mr Goodwin. I wondered what in the world would that mean! Then he explained that since some of us were blindfolded he shouldn’t say look , wow isn’t he a great joker!

Not long after it was Lilyana turn to be blindfolded! I took her through the flying fox , up a ladder , swing on the monkey bars , and go on some weird swings! I bet inside of her she was freaking out but she tried not to show it. Leading Lillyana through the park was cool , lucky she didn’t crash into anything. Three minutes passed and we all walked in two sensible lines back to class. Have you ever lead someone while they were blindfolded. 

As our experience was over , I thought that it was great! That reason is because I got to be blindfolded with my classmates as well as leading my buddy through hard obstacles on our playground. Luckily we didn’t have to do another disgusting bug hunt! Overall this experience was extremely fun , being blindfolded and leading my friend! Blindfolded was the coolest experience ever. Have you ever done a crazy experience like this one?

Task Description:

This week soon we are going to have a writing test , to get ready for our test we went out for a experience then wrote a recount about it. During this writing I tired to use the burger way so my writing is written correctly as well as I made sure my writing was good structure.

My Ambitions For Term 4

Walt: Use correct sentences to help structure our writing

Term 4 has started , so let’s say goodbye to Netflix , Youtube , Games and say hello to a new term! This term topic is Te Wai Toi. Keep reading to find out what our topic means , what we’re learning , and many more!

This term is packed with all sorts of fun events!  My top three events that i’m mostly excited for is having a fun time with my friends and year 6 camp , watching the Manaiakalani films with my friends ,  and as well as learning and creating art projects. I can’t wait to do art and learn many things this term!

Since this term is packed with all sorts of fun events I have set some goals for myself so I can be more confident. As for the first goal I have set for myself is to become more confident in participating in physical activities for the upcoming year 6 camp! That reason is because I get shy doing fun activities , so I need to give everything a go. As for my last goal I have set for myself is to make a perfect animation since for the last couple of years my animation haven’t been quite drawn and animated correctly. So improving my animation would be great for my report.

As this term theme is based on art I have high hopes that we get to create paintings.  But one thing I would like to learn is culture paintings from Korea , China and many countries that have interesting art. As well as learning how countries used to create their paintings in the past  and the meaning of their paintings. I would like to learn about Monalisa.

Overall I can’t wait for all the upcoming events! I’m looking forward to all the upcoming events like year 6 camp and other things we’re doing this term , as well as trying to achieve my goals for being confident in all activities  that we’re going to be doing , and I can’t wait to learn about the meaning of different culture paintings and the famous painting Monalisa. Altogether I am looking forward to all fun learning and creations that i’m going to be doing this term.

Task Description:
For this task we wrote about what this term is about , what we are hoping to learn , and our term 4 goals. During this task we learnt how to write a proper conclusion to finish off our writing. I found that this task we slightly tricky because we had to write our body paragraphs correctly , and I find that there are some sentences that need help because of the words I used. I also found it hard to come up with goals for myself and I found it hard to explain what my goals are in my writing.

\
Task Description:
As for this silver medal problem we did some decimal problems. This decimal problem we had to is to take away from a decimal that my teacher gave me. Each problem had a different number for the decimal so we got different answers. I think that my answers were incorrect and correct. 

Leilani - Decimal Math Work.

Walt: Use add/ sub strategies to solve tricky decimal problems.

Task Description:
First day back to school and we have got some decimal place value work. Here we are doing decimal work with place value. This here is a bronze medal problem that is set for us for our first task. In this presentation I converted a word form to place value in a table. With tens , one , point , tenths hundredths and thousandths. 

Leilani - Titanic

The RMS Titanic was used for shipping mail , cargo and passengers. Unfortunately the Titanic had sunk in the North Atlantic Ocean on 14th of April - 15th of April 1912 , while going from Southampton to New York City. That night she , Titanic. Had collided with an iceberg on a very foggy night which caused the ship to sink. From my research she collided with the iceberg at 11:40 pm which was were Frederick Fleet spotted the iceberg very close to the Titanic. At 2:20 am the water levels increased more than before that her forward deck was under water , with her other half high up in the air with people still clinging to it. However , before some had said that the Titanic had sunk all in one. But when they found her ( which was in 1985 ) they saw that she was in two pieces. All on board the Titanic were 2,224 passengers and crew , maximum was 3,547. Around three thirds of passengers and crew had passed , either from the cold water , sunk or some had survived. Titanic had carried with her some very special and famous names with her like Edith Russell which had survived the sinking. From many of the readings I read , some say that most passengers would have survived the collide with the iceberg if the crew put more people on each lifeboat. So , I think that the meaning to that is more people from the crazy disaster could have survived. Another information I learnt was that Titanic might not be the real Titanic. Some say that the ship that sank is really Titanic’s sister ship Olympic. White Star Line couldn’t lose the amount of money from Olympic sinking so they simply switched their names around. However , if you don’t agree with this information please don’t take it off on me. I found this research about RMS Titanic.

85 years later James Cameron made a romance movie after the sinking of Titanic. While James Cameron was writing the script of Titanic , he modeled the character of Rose after Beatrice Wood. An American artist. 18 December 1997 , when James Cameron released his movie Titanic. It got heaps of hits , in fact Titanic became and still is in the top five highest grossing movie film of all time! But the movie of Rose and Jake isn’t in fact real. Rose and Jake are add on characters to make the movie Titanic more romantic. But in real life Rose and Jake are real people. Kate Winslet character for Titanic Rose , Leonardo Dicaprio character for Titanic is Jake. Both are now 43 years old. While the movie was in making Kate and Leonardo were 21 and 22. While I was reading about Titanic I didn’t find much information about Jake , but I found many about Rose. The movie Titanic is very sad but it’s a great movie at the same time.

-----------------------------------------------------

Task Description:

One day I watched the movie Titanic , so I really wanted to research about Titanic so I did. All of these information most people won't agree with this writing so please don't do anything mean , because I just found the information. So this information is just used for us to learn about and yeah. Hopefully you all enjoy this writing!
