Today we had to work by ourselves I feel like it helps a bit to get back on track. The book was called the Rain before Rainbow it was a very cool book and had very cool illustrations. I did a design we had to do some collage I made a rainbow collage I love what I did I think it might be one of my favourites.
Today for play make create I worked with Shirley. The book was Theodore the Unsure. We made a throne for Theodore. We made it out of wool, string, and fabric. We made a platform for the phone to sit up Shirley made three pillows and I made the seat. We were going to make one for the baby but we didn't have enough time to. it was really hard to get the seat to stay up and the bottom to stick to it because we were not allowed to use hot glue we had to use tap the wool does not like to stick to the tap and it was really hard to get it to stick to the chair but in the end, we just put it on the ground. This was really fun and I think if we had more time we would get more done!
Today for play make create I worked with Scarlett. We made a TP out of wood. The hardest thing to do was getting the logs to stand up and make sure the logs don't fall. The easy part was probably making me outside. In the big space, I would make a garden but we did have time to. I think if we had more time we would of made a garden. I think it was a really cool because we have a big yard. It is really cool because we let other people play with it is still up and it is not broken!! I am really happy with it. I think it is a supernova!! Scarlett photo bombed the photo.
Term 2, Week 1 2021
During Term 1 we have been practicing our addition and subtraction knowledge through the online program called NumBots. At the start, it was super easy but progressively got more challenging.
I am now on the level of NumBots Titanium
I enjoy NumBots because it helps me learn my pluses and takeaways a bit better than before and it is really fun!
What I find challenging is it is hard when it sometimes doesn't explain well and what we are meant to do.
This week we have started TTRockstars. This is an online program which helps us to learn our timetables. It really hurts your fingers and it is hard because you want to go face.
TTRockstars is a fun timetable learning program that hurts your fingers sometimes.
Today for play make create I worked with Scarlett we did a person looking out a window but we didn't get to finish it but it still looks cool we made a path and some rocks to go around the path. I had to draw a girl looking out the window she had blown and blonde hair you couldn't see her face you could see the back of her body but not the front. I really like the play make create for this week!
Whetu Fun Day
Last Thursday we had a Whetu Fun Day as our camp was postponed. Our teachers planned a fun day for us instead! We participated in a Whetu Amazing Race, a range of different fun rotations, a BBQ lunch, and play on the council playground then we finished the day with an Easter Egg hunt and an ice block.
My favorite part of the Amazing Race was when I and my friends were going around the hole of ngatea my friend’s names are Marley, Shirley, Haven, Scarlett, and Lola it was really fun because when the teacher said that we were going to be in groups of six we were sitting next to each other and we were like we have got our group. When we did not have a parent because we could go our own ways but it was kinder hard because got a bit stuck but then the teachers helped us. The code was what happened when the egg laughed? It cracked up!!
The rotation I enjoyed the most was the dress challenge it was out of newspaper. I worked in a group with Scarlett, Cullen, and Franklin our model was Cullen it was fun because we made Cullen have a crop-top on and a skirt. He had a basket to carry his eggs around and some bunny ears we had a wig on him but he took it off. When the teacher said to take everything off he had earrings and we ripped them off it was so fun.
During the Easter Egg Hunt I found my stick I found it in a tree we have got three trees it was the one closes to the path it was a fun find a lot of people were over by the tree but I was the one that found it. One other person was right there but I bet them to it. Yay!
It was a really fun day. I am so happy that the teacher put their time and effort into the challenges and the food and for the whole day. It was so fun I am so happy the teachers did this for us!!!
Today we did play make CREATE!!!! I worked with Shirley and Marley!!! It was really fun because we did a topic on Camp. It would be cool if it was like the real camp. I really like the way that we made the tents. There was a beaver from another one of my play make creates so we used it it is so cute because it is in the bush. We got some outside plants to use as our bush's. Shirley and I had to make one of the tents with hot glue and Marley made the other one with string and fabric. Shirley and I had to go next door and Marley was all by herself. Shirley made some teddys and one looked like a dog and one looks like a cat. We use pastels for the grass. Marley had a GREAT idea to make a little lake it had water in it but it speld it ever were. We did a video like my other play make create and we made people on our hands and we talk with them. It was so fun working with Marley and Shirley I had so much fun!! We made some smores and marshmallows we made a campfire and some seats to go around it we colored in the smores brown so it looks like it was cooking!
From Tayla
Shirley looks so WEIRD!!! HAHAHA
Today I work with Pippa for math mystery. It was hard because at the start we got the first question wrong so a teacher had to help us. Katelyn and Abby work beside us and we all worked together kind of. It was really really fun.
Giraffes can't dance This week for play make create I work with Haven, Scarlett, and Me. We made a video and a background with a giraffes
dancing in the moonlight and a hole punch of trees around him and he has a dance for to dance around on. This week was so fun because Scarlett was so sassy in the video and she was a mess.
Yesterday I did Play, make, create the book we read was we are going on a bear hunt. I worked with Shlyah-Faye we made a bears bedroom it was really fun because we use a leaf for a blanket and tissue for the pillow.

This week for Chapter chat we did the make a parachute we went on the big blue to drop them off. I did it with Shirley and Hannah we made our own ones but they were the same. The stuff I used was a Plastic bag, balloon, cardboard, bottle cap, and a string. It was really fun because we were allowed to go over to the big blue and drop them off I was the one on the ground grabbing them and make grabbing them and making sure they don't fly away. This is the video that we took of the parachute!!!
Today we had Mrs. Taaffe come in and she confesses that she did it, she came into Whetu in the holidays and stole our chocolates. She had computer trouble and had to come in and take the dongle but she wanted some chocolates too so she grabbed some. She wears scrunchies and loves mini chocolates, she parks her car outside the offices, her fingerprints were everywhere at the crime scene. I am really happy that we solved the crime.
This week's letter was C it was hard to find one that ended with c but it was easy when I look around.
Yesterday was our NPS athletics I competed in shot put, high jump, running, and long jump and I did not come first in everything but I tried my best and I did well for myself.
What I found the toughest was that high jump and running because I had a sore ankle but I didn't give up.
What I found the easiest was that shot put and long jump because it was not that hard for my ankle.
The learning powers that I used was Resilience and Integrity.
This week for fingerprinting we had a police came in and tell us about fingerprinting I got up and did a fingerprint. First I had to do was put the is powder on it and then this stuff for it to take the fingerprint and it was on the glass so it was easier to see then you pell it off and put it on this special paper I got one of my friends Scarlett. For the fingerprints, I had the same as my Mum but not the same because everyone has a different put the same batten. The right hand had all 5 loops and my left had a whorl and two arches and two loops.
This term we have a crime that we need to solve. When we got back from school holidays the teachers made a crime for us. There are a lot of chocolates on the ground and one is open there is some blood on a tissue and a type of liquid with a pen next to it there is a broken vase on the ground it looks like it maybe bumped it off. We think that there might be two suspects and there is a driver's license on the ground with Mr. Singh on it. But there is a scrunchie it might be a girl but why would it have a boy driver's license??
Today we had to work by ourselves I feel like it helps a bit to get back on track. The book was called the Rain before Rainbow it was a very...
