How to play Hide & Seek

 Aloha Bloggers

A few weeks ago Te Waka Ako has been writing a Procedure Text. You might be wondering what Procedure Text is. It's is another word for instructions. You need to have a  title, explanation, equipment, the sentences need to start with verbs , the steps need to be numbered. For procedure Text I chooses to do Hide and Seek.

Here is how to play :

 

I Hope you learned something. If you have any advice please write in the comments   

 

STEM Week Waikowhai Primary Student Toolkits

STEM week at Waikowhai. 

Fun! Fun! This is great! 

Last friday the 11th of June was a Student Led Toolkits at Waikowhai. It was also STEM week, Stem stands for science, technology, engineering and maths.There were 24 presenters and 12 toolkits. All the Senior and Middle schools attended the toolkits that day. There were 3 sessions that day too. The first session was 11:00am - 11:30am. The 2nd session was 11:30am - 12:00pm and the last session was  12:00 - 12:30. 

For the first toolkits Me and my partner Hazel did a presentation. We had 17 attended in the first round. Here are some of the word arts that I created:

 

 

Here is the instructions on how to use word art

First thing you need to do is search up  Word Art  . Next press button.  After that you need to you can fill in words that you want . Now you change the size, colour angle and font. .  You can now choose a shape   . Next  choose a font    .  And the position you want the word to . After that you can choses your colour you want it to be . Finally press .  And Now you're done.

For the 2nd toolkits I did Word Art too (because I prestend ). In this one we had less people and it was better to tell want to do. But there was one problem some people we're a bit ahead even when they didn't know want to do.

Lastly I went to Music lab . The prestener we're Paityn  and Erana. They told us how it works and showed us how to use them. Here is their  Presentation

I played on shared piano with Zara. Here is a link.

  Here is the link to a google document on how to use Word Art

 

For the Second Session I went to room 23 where I was learning how to use Animation with Google slides the prestern were  Irie, Arian and Nikile. They showed everyone on how to do Animation with Google slides. The first thing you need to do is make a slide  with a background and choose the a character. Next move the character bit by bit and you can duplicate a slide too. Here an Animation of mine so far.

For the last sesion I went to room 7 to have some fun with Incredibox where I could have fun with Music. So all you have to do is and drag the picture to the people so they have something to wear.  Now you can listen to your beats. 

After that everyone went into the hall, listen to two people for Fusion interns talk about how they got into their job. Then it was time to  leave. Overall I thought that it was a brilliant day.  Have you ever been to toolkits?

Hope you had fun reading this blog post. Bye bloggers and blog you later. 😃 

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?

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?
