Camp

In Te Maunga we went camping at Coopers Beach on 27th of November. I was so excited when we went to Coopers Beach because there was lots of activities like the water slide, confidence course, slippery hockey and kayaking. Also there was two trampolines they were so bouncy that I could nearly touch the clouds. My favorite thing at camp was doing slippery hockey because I like it when we have to try get a goal and then you slip, that is fun.  I wish we can go back in time and do it over and over again because I love camping. Here is Bella's, Vinnies's and my trailer we made.

Waka Ama

In Te Maunga we have been learning to write a quality recount. We did waka ama every Tuesday. Here is my story about waka ama.

Waka Ama

On the 31st of October 2017 Te Maunga went waka ama down in Waitangi so Constable Rob can teach us how to paddle our waka.

When we were getting set up for waka ama Constable Rob taught us how to put a life jacket on also we helped carry out the waka out into the salty water. I was jumping up and down and running around like a slithery snake.

We were all jumping in the waka so we could have a turn. When we were paddling we were using our hoe of Tu Maia never giving up. When I was paddling my arms felt like a squiggly noodle.

After waka ama we had free time I was skimming the rocks across the bumpy water and the rock did four jumps “yay” I said. After that we found little snappy crabs. We were astonished about how many crabs could fit under a tiny rock. We were screaming.

Next time we do waka ama I am going to try my hardest when I paddle.

Science- Oobleck

In Te Maunga some of us made oobleck and we wanted to see,  What it would look like and what it would so. My buddy's I did it with was Alexis, Calais, Lennex. It was really fun when we made it. This was the picture.

Life Ed

In Te Maunga We have been going to see Harold and we learn't about BULLING being MEAN and being RUDE to other people. I did well by listen well and saying a lot of good questions.
Harold is every ones friend!

Science

In Te Maunga we have been doing SCIENCE and I have made a google drawing about what we did for science. I did well by helping other people what they had to do to make it work. We made bubbly sherbet and bubbly lemonade.

Here is my Google Drawing about what I did for Science

E Learning Symposium

In Te Maunga Four people in our class got chosen to go to Ohaeawai School and to share learning to the Teachers and the Parents. So Tia,Bella,Liam and me decided to share about chapter chat. We did well by telling people what it is and telling them about what it does. We could of done better job by giving them the link and also showing them more things about chapter chat.We also did a brake out after we broke the box i mean opening the box we got lollies.

Here are some photos of us teaching Teachers and Parents and the Teachers and Parents telling us what to do.

Persuasive writing

In Te Maunga we have been learning to write a persuasive letter and we are persuading Mrs Lindsay.
I did a good job on writing a persuading words. I could of done a better job if I could of focused more on it.

Here is my writing

Dear Mrs Lindsay,

I am writing to you because I think we should get the maths hub website because we really want to see what it can do and it looks so fun, I mean LEARNING fun. It helps our learning it is easy and clear and it saves time for the teacher.

It helps our learning because you can prove some evidence to your teacher. If we don’t get it we might not get to learn as much. Do you want to help us get better at things? If we get number hub it won’t just be for us but for the whole  school.

It can be easier for us because it’s clear and it is not confusing. Also it has activities that you can learn. It is faster to find a learning game instead of wasting your time trying to look for a game and link it so you don’t forget.

It saves time for the teacher because you can just write up counting to 1000 and it will come up But if we don’t get it then it will be hard for the teacher because they have to get all of the activities ready for us. Do you want to help all of the teachers?

Again I really think we should all get number hub so it can help our learning.

Thank you

From  Payton

Working With Shirley

In Te Maunga we have been working with Shirley and she has been teaching us to add two digit numbers using place value and number partitioning.I did well by focusing on my maths also i have learn't a lot of things. Next time i will do a better job by get better quickly.

Waitangi Day

In Te Maunga we have been learning to write a recount because we need to learn how to write a recount any way i think i did a really good job on writing a lot of words in my writing but i think next time i should get my plan done before my writing.

Here is my cool recount

Waitangi Day

“Line up please!” said Whaea Becks so we quickly lined up quietly, she said “we are going to go to waitangi now” “That is right it is tuesday.” Said Tia We started to walk, all i heard was feet crunching on the stones, few minutes later…. We were still walking and   I felt like a dehydrated sun. We walked and walked and walked until we finally were in front of the  museum. A nice lady gave me a bright green sticker. We started to walk again, after that we went into groups.

We were the first group to do an awesome game. The game we did is a game to help you listen so if you are trying to listen to a bird to eat it you would have to listen very well to catch the bird bit anyway, You would get a paua shells and put these yellow blindfolds on. After that you would shake the paua shells and you have to find the other person. I was playing against Liam n . I was tagged Liam fist. After playing the game i was like a yellow sun.

After Doing the games, we went into the forest and we learnt about the different trees and what kind of trees can help you when you are sick. Also I learnt a lot about trees and what they can do to you to help you when you’re sick.

Next Thing we did was planting. “YAY”! We had to stand and listen to the lady about what we have to do and how you have to get out the plant and other stuff. We had to get into buddy’s and my buddy was nevaeh. We needed some help it was hard at first but then it got easy at the end. We wanted to do another one but we were not allowed. I was sad but still happy that i planted one.

We started to walk back to school, my legs got so sour i felt like a noodle. When we got back to school my tummy was rumbling so i ate my sandwich. “Today was so fun”. “Good bye Whaea Becks”.

Inquiry-Summary

In Te Maunga we have been learning about celebrations because we want to learn about what they do, how do they celebrate it,when did it happen and other things. I think i did well by getting the information and answering my questions. I should of done i better job by finding the right information and focusing on one thing.

Here is my summary, i hope you like it.

Koru Panel

In Te Maunga we have been learning to draw a Koru for our whare and i did well by drawing the koru and creating it but i should of made the koru bigger so i can paint it easier.
I had a lot of fun painting drawing and designing my cool panel. I would really want to do it again in Te Maunga.

 Here is my panel on a google drawing.

Persuasive Writing

In Te Muanga we have been learning to write a persuasive writing, I did well on writing a lot of reasons  and always doing my plan first but i could of done a better job by putting more examples in there so the reader understands my writing. Here is my writing i hope you like it and i hope i persuade you on my writing.

Chromebooks Are Amazing

In my opinion I believe that chromebooks are good because it keeps me focused and it might keep you focused as well and you can learn how to type fast.

You can also do a lot of writing.

Fistly chromebooks are also amazing because you can type up information faster instead of looking in a long book.You can type up anything you want ( You really need to get this now ).

Secondly on chromebooks you have a spelling tool that can help you with your Spelling mistakes, here is an example. When you have a spelling mistake on your chromebook you just click the tool button and then If you have a book and you have a spelling mistake you have to rub it out and then sometimes your book gets dirty (Chromebooks don’t do that ).

Thirdly you can show your teacher some evidence and she will not tell you off because you have some evidence to show Him or Her.You can even do your work at home if you’re not up to date.

Finally in our class we have 98 percent that we all need chromebooks in the world and we feel that chromebooks help our learning.Did people even know that chromebooks exist because they are not buying them?

This is why I believe that Chromebooks are the best for us to use and for you to use as well.

My Reflection

In Te Maunga I have been learning to do a reflection. I did well on saying what i am doing good at and what am i going to do next time. I could of done a better job next time by saying more information and by doing more detail. Here is my reflection

I was Learning to do my fractions with my teacher,  so that i can be better at  fractions and to help teach others.The skills i learn i can help other people.I found it hard because it was a bit to hard to understand and to say sometimes. I did well by helping the people that was beside me and they could help me too.I did well I worked hard on this learning by staying on my task and sitting in one spot and being a person that keeps on track of their work not there friends.Now I need to find another workshop so i can learn more and  more and so i can get better.

My Writing Goals

In Te Maunga we have been working on our goal's. I think i could of done a better effort by writing more so that the reader that wants to know what i am learning understands. I think i did well by showing what my goal is and why i am that level. The most i'm focusing on is sentence structure. These are my goal's.

	Surface Features			Deeper Features
	Spelling	Punctuation	Sentence Structure	Vocabulary	Idea	Structure	Organisation
Where am I? copy and paste the definition from above	R4	R4	R2	R4	R4	R4	R4
	I spell most essential list words correctly and attempt some difficult words using spelling rules.	I use capital letters, and sentence endings correctly for most of my sentences and some other punctuation correctly.	I can write a lot of simple everyday words that I already know.	I use a variety of words and phrases to add detail and I choose words to make people want to read my writing.	My ideas are on the topic and are beginning to show some complexity. (Personal Voice)	I have all the structure and one part may be developed. I use appropriate language features.	I put my ideas in order or groups and am attempting paragraphs. I use clear pronouns.
How do I know? Give some examples from your writing of why you think you are in that box	I Know that i am on 4 because i challenge myself on hard words like goosebumps,busting,pedaled and by using the right contraction.	I think I am a 4 because I have been using commas, full stops,.? capital letters .	I am a r2 because I am not using compound words	I am a r4 because  I used similes and metaphors like i am a bursting sun to put more detail in my writing.	I am a r4 because i have lot’s of ideas like i was getting goosebumps,my face was like a bursting sun.	I am r4 because I use paragraphs in my writings.	I am a r4 because i use clear pronouns and i am starting to use complexity.
What next? What are your next learning steps?	By challenging myself  with harder words and by doing my spelling every night.	I will start to put in       ?   !   (   )      ‘	Include detail by using longer sentences so that the readers understand.	I am going to put in more metaphors and picture  for the reader's mind.	I need to make sure my ideas show complexity.	I will put more paragraphs and sentences into my writing.	I need to start sequencing my idear correctly in paragraphs.

Tryathlon

Paihia School had a Tryathlon and Te Maunga wrote a recount about the tryathlon. What i liked about my writing is that i used metaphors to describe my writing. Next time i think i could do better by writing more words and more metaphors.
Hope You Like It

Paihia School Tryathlon

First of all last week Paihia school had a tryathlon , in paihia,Miss williams had a talk to us about where we had to go and where you’re  not allowed to go . So we walked down to the beach,I was getting nervous. We were at the beach and I was getting goosebumps.

Next it was our turn,Miss williams said ready set go,there we were in the water splashing the salty water everywhere . Then we started to run,three girls went past me so I sprinted past those three girls .I ran and ran.

After that I squeezed my shoes on and I jumped on the bike as quickly as i could and pedaled as fast as i could. Lilli-Rose went past me,it was my second lap, Lilli-rose went passed the finish line, so did I.

In the end My face was like a sun that was bursting,my mum gave me water. I was so happy and was proud of myself , I feel like collapsing tower.

Beach Ed

In Te Maunga we made a slide about beach ed. The part that I liked that on our slide is the part that says the funnest part. I think we could do better next time by saying more facts but it was fun making the slides. Here is our slide. From Tayla and me Payton
