Wellbeing with Miss McGrath 🙂

 Hola blogger's 

Fortune teller / chatterbox origami, Complement circle, Musical gratitude game, FUN!  FUN! FUN!    

This morning 17th of May, the year 5 ( which  counts me too )  were having the morning block and middle block with Miss McGrath because the year 6's are on an exhibition with the teacher's. 

The first thing we ( the year 5's )  did was have a talk about the wellbeing survey. Which wasn't very fun. Next we did a game called  Musical gratitude. We needed  to walk around and when the music stops we need to go to the closest person and say what we were grateful for. we did it 3 times. 

Then we moved on to making Fortune teller /chatterbox  (origami). We made a little origami that you can play with and we needed to tell what we do when people bully others. What we wrote inside was 3 different things, what we do when  people bully us, a compliment to others and something to make us happy when were upset. I chose to do a compliment to others.  Here are some pictures of the fortune teller: 

          

So the first thing we did to make the Fortune teller / chatterbox  was get a square piece of paper. Next you need  to fold the the paper diagonally 90 degrees ( which is a quarter way )  and fold it diagonally. Now we fold it in the middle and turn it 90 degrees and fold down the middle again.  Soon  you will see your square divided into the 8 part. fold each corner to the centre.  Now turn it over and do it again. Turn it up one more time and open the 4 top square with your fingers and push. And now you will have your origami done. You just need to write something in and add colour.  Here are some pictures of how to make a chatterbox:

        

Finally we did the compliment circle where  you have to give a compliment to others and someone is together compliment do you. I think it's great to give a compliment to everyone. You needed to sit in a circle you need to give a compliment to someone but before you do that someone needs to give a compliment to you. It's great to give a compliment to everyone.

Anyways overall I think that it was a morning. Have you ever made a chatterbox / fortune teller?

 Hola blogger 

Splash, Splash, Splash!

The Seniors get to go in the main pool and the middles get to go in the Nan's pool it wasn't all ways this why but we had to because of lockdown.

Fish in a tree, The Sketchbook of Impossible Things

 That's a nice drawing!

Hola Blogger's 

For teacher read we  have been reading a novel called "Fish in a Tree". The book is about a girl named  Ally Nickelson. She  has Dyslexia so the words jump / move around. She likes to draw and her grandpa say that she is like an artist.  

The Sketchbook  of Impossible Things  is when Ally has pictures in her mind that are impossible. Manukau, my class, we had to draw pictures of some of the impossible things. One of them was a dinosaur holding a teacup. Another was a snowman working at a Furnace Factory, a fish in a fish tank with snorkel. Why does the fish need a snorkel when it can breath underwater? There was also a candy land. There was a man in a banana boat. There are more picture's too but I'm only half way through the book.   

I think that the story is so far so good.

Here is a picture of the book:

What is your class reading for teacher read?

Do you do teacher read in your school?

And the 4 activities was  Wheels zones And magic playbox, Bouncy castle obstacle course,pools and slippery slide And finally the Inflatable water slide. There was also a bake sale that people can sell food to others.

Ruru stared at the wheels zones I bought my scooter and in the middle of scootering One of the teachers said I could get something from the Bake sale and I got a chocolate cake a cupcake and a feijoa cake for my Dad. Then we could go wheeling again. 30 mins later We went to the pools since I didn't bring my swimming togs I help make slippery slide stay slippery. 1 hour later we had lunch for an hour I had 2 sausages. Next we went on to the  bouncy castle obstacle course. I sweated quite a lot that made me exhausted. Finally I went to the inflatable water slide after playing I got dressed into clean cloths and went to have a rest and went home. 

Please tell if you have any device in the comments. Have you done in a similar activity.

Tsunami

 Hi bloggers 

Today in class we talked about an emergency pack and the Tsunami that happened last friday. The Tsunami didn't actually did it happen. The tsunami alarm sounds like the fire alarm but it rings for 10 minutes stops row 1 or 2 Minutes then it start all over again. Mrs Sands helped a lot of people because there was lots of people down the town to get to high ground. Mrs Sands told us about  how her Friday was. Then we talked about an emergency pack. 

The senior syndicate thought of  these things that should be put in an Emergency Pack :   Umbrella, phone and charger, battery and torch, radio, battery and torch, non-perishable food, bug repellent, water, first aid kit medicine and toilet paper. Those thing should be put in a so it is easy to find.

It was lucky that the tsunami alert wasn't in Auckland, it was in the East of North Island but my parents still got the tsunami alert. It made me worried about the people who might be in the Tsunami. 

If you think there anything else that you can put in a emergency pack please write in a comments. What would you pack in an emergency pack?

Lockdown 4

 Hola bloggers 

"Ahh" ! Freaky or Fancy , that's freaky. 

Today is the second level 2 day after lockdown 4 in Auckland. Here are some of my favorite activity and my feelings.   

• I feel good to be back at school because I get to see my friends and teachers.

•  My favorite learning activity is was the reading activity call Olympics  which is a activity that I need  to fill in the blanks with word that is in a sentence. 

• My favorite family activity that I did at home was baking a cake, a sponge cake yum, yum, yum. 

    Finally the feeling I have for being in lockdown is mixed because I can do more things that I like to do but I feel bad that I can't do things with my friends.

 You might wonder why freaky or fancy? we had a google meeting on friday and we needed to dress up  freaky or fancy. It was also one of my favorite thing to do in lockdown this year. I dressed fancy because I didn't have any freaky clothes

Thanks for reading blogger. What do you do in the lockdown, write it in the comment please.
