The Student Summit by Riley

 Hi Readers!

It's Riley here writing for our class blog.

I went to the Student Summit with a few friends on Wednesday. I think you are wondering what is a Student Summit. Student Summit is a thing where students from schools from all over the Uru Manuka cluster learn new online tools. The online tools me, Jade and Sean taught was 'Storyboard That'. 

I also went to some workshops. the First workshop I went to was how to use Canva. The second workshop I went to was the one Me, Jade and Sean were doing. The third one I went to was how to use Scratch Junior. The forth one I went to was how to use Mihi maker. Here are some photos of me Sean and Jade doing our presentation.

Thank you for reading my blog post! Have a nice day!

Our Tree Planting Trip by Zahina

Kamusta everybody,

On Wednesday September 16, the trusted trekkers, health leaders and some other people that have been amazing at school or just have been chosen got to go on a field trip to plant trees.

What I expected was to just plant a big seed in the ground and look around the farm but I was wrong what we actually did was we...

..first off drove for about half an hour to go to springfield for toilet break and playground time….

…..then it took us maybe 15 minutes to go to the farm near Springfield to plant trees more than once but about as much as we wanted….

...after we planted the plants, we walked towards the cows however there was some down sides, there were cow poop everywhere! We all made it through and saw these lovely cows…….

Finally we had lunch and after we had finished eating we played games that caused some problems, although we got to see a cat named Spook. Lastly we viewed the whole farm inside the van and headed home while some of us slept in the vehicle like me.

Matariki Comics

 Kia ora whanau and buddy classes,

A couple of weeks ago Room 9 learnt some matariki legends. We learnt how to work out where the matariki stars are in the sky on a clear day.

Then we had to recreate one of the legends we learnt on Storyboard creator. We all turned our legends into comics by creating images from the important parts of the legends we remembered.

Here are some of the finished Matariki comics we made.

Thanks for checking out our blog!

Filipino Langauge Week

 Kamusta sa taong nagbabasa nito and our buddies (Toroa room 2 and room 4 Ruapotaka,)

This post is about something relating to a culture that’s happening between the days August 13-19. Now what’s happening is it is Filipino language week. 

A fact about the dates were, on August 13 1998 there was a battle of Manila or called ‘Mock battle of Manila’. Quezon was born on August 19th, he was elected president somewhere in the Philippines and so that’s my guess of why between those days are so special. 

You might know, or not but did you know if the blue and red on the flag are in the wrong way it means the Philippines is in war.

(see),

In room 9 there are about 5 Filipino’s, how many are in your class?

Room 9s Assembly

Kia ora readers and our buddy class, Toroa, Room 2 and Room 4,

Sorry for not being active bloggers lately. But we have been doing some exciting and fun learning. 

This Friday we performed our assembly to the whole school. 

Some of us felt embarrassed and nervous but they still got up and presented. Our teacher and our class is very proud of us too. We are proud of ourselves too.

Some people shared their pepeha in Room 9s assembly and some facts about the body. Pretty much everything we have done in class lately we showed at our assembly. We showed some self portraits and art too.

Mr Roberts our principal was really busy but when the children shared their pepeha he stayed for the whole assembly because he was really impressed.

Here is the slideshow that shows all the learning that we presented in assembly.

Thank you for reading our blog. Could you please comment on our post? We hope you have an amazing day and enjoyed reading this amazing post we did for assembly.

Here is my Facts and Questions about Louis Sachar.

Did you learn something new about Louis Sachar?
