Year: 2022

For the last 3 weeks we have been working on making our own movies. My group’s movie was about 4 best friends going on a camping trip and then they found an abandoned house with ghosts living inside it.

What I learnt in making the movie is that not everybody agrees on your ideas and everybody works together most of the time and sometimes you have to deal with what the rest of the group thinks. 

My favourite part of making the movie was when we were  filming where the campsite was because everyone worked together smoothly, nobody was fighting. The hardest part of the movie to film was when we had to film inside the abandoned house because everyone was not listening. That’s why my group had to spend 2 days inside when we had to film inside the abandoned house.

For the last 2 weeks I was learning about the Commonwealth Games. We had to answer some questions about the Commonwealth Games and then we had a competition to see who could find out the most Commonwealth countries. We had pictures of 53 flags and had to find out what country each flag represented. I figured out all 53 flags. The second last thing we had to do was create a mascot for the Paihia School mascot if we ever have one and the last thing we had to do was to create an acrostic poem uses words or phrases to describe something, The start of each sentence going down should be the word that you are describing. The words that we’re using is the one of the Commonwealth sports. In between them we did some art.  

My favourite part of the task was the art. First we had to just draw some lines on a piece of paper and then we had someone playing a sport on a picture and we had to cut it out. After we cut out the person we had to outline in on our piece of paper with the lines on. After that we colour in the person with Vivid. After that we had to colour in the the shapes on the paper. After that you are finished 

One thing I could do better next time is to double check before I just wrote down 53 Commonwealth countries because we had to put it in order.   

For the last day of term 2 we did a PJ day for fun! We had to wear our PJs but I didn’t want to so I didn’t. 

The best part for the day for me was watch movies. We watched 3 movies for the day but we were supposed to watch 4 but the movies were too long so we didn’t.  

One thing we could make the day better would be having more popcorn because we only had a hand full.  

Last week I was learning about Science On The Ice. It was a story of a photographer going with lots of scientists to do some science on the ice. We had to answer some questions and we had to write an explanation. 

I found this task to be hard for me, because for the explanation we had to write about what they did on the journey but I didn’t know that I had to write about it.  

One thing I could do better next time is not to write too much because it took a long time to finish but at the end I didn’t get to finish it. 

For the last two weeks I was learning about the water cycle: how it works and the process of water cycle.

I found the water cycle to be a bit hard because I haven’t done it in a long time. 

One thing I could do better next time is read my writing carefully if I checked everything is right but I forgot to check if it makes sense.   

On Friday the 13th we did a colour run in my school. In colour run there’s a obstacle course for you to run though and the teachers get to spray powder paint on you. But you need your old clothes or a white T-shirt but not necessarily white clothes but if you want. The reason you need the clothes is because the powder paint will stain on your clothes but some powder paint can come off.

I found the colour run to be very very fun! Like really really fun. The best part is the teachers have to have a go and some of the kids get to spray the powder paint.

One thing I could do better next time is run faster. But that time I just finished breaktime so I had to run back to class so I was a bit tired. 

During the holidays I went to the Kerikeri mini golf with my friends Bernadette, Jack and Bernadette’s sister Mary and Margaret. Margaret is a very kind old lady she is a friend of ours and she always takes us out when in the holidays.

I found the mini golf to be very fun and it was kind of hard hitting the golf ball for me. Me and Mary were just playing and Bernadette and Jack are competing because they want to win.

One thing I could do better next time is try to aim the golf ball correctly and at the same it I think that me and  Bernadette, Jack and Mary should read the instructions for how to play first.

Today I was learning Poetry 

Today we did Poetry  I learnt about adjectives. I found this task to be quite hard because I was not sure what kind of words are adjective. One thing I could do better next time is I could try to find better describing words.
