Student Toolkits!

Talofa Lava bloggers! 

On the 28th of may some students were selected to go to Student Toolkits! Student Toolkits is a annual event where some students from the Ako Hiko Cluster (5 schools from the local area) meet at one school. Some students are picked to make a slideshow and present it to some other students that choose to go to that session. The slideshow can be of anything that was digital and fun from learning how to program spheroes to making a poster on canva.

The school that was hosting it this year was Hay Park school

Me and my friend Noah (Check out his blog here http://wpsnoahb.blogspot.com/) were picked to present a slideshow to a bunch of people (33 to be exact). We decided to do it on google slide animations.

Here is our slideshow and a few pictures from the day:

The day was really fun and exciting. They were having a bake sale to fundraiser for their camp and they had like the best chocolate cake ever! My favourite bit was probably presenting and then seeing what people made with what we showed them!

Pink shirt day!

Hey there bloggers! 

You may recall in my earlier post about gumboot Friday that we went around the neighbourhood posting positive cards in peoples letterboxes. We did it again!

Did you know that it was Pink Shirt Day last Friday!

Pink shirt day is a day where everyone supports anti bullying so we can have a bully free world. On some Pink Shirt Days we bring in gold coin donations, but this time we had cardboard cut outs of shirts! You might be wondering how is a cardboard cut out better then a 270 dollar donation? Well this is what we did: we wrote down positive quotes on the shirts before colouring them in (Preferably pink). Then we wrote on the back: Supporting mental health and a bully free New Zealand.

Please repost into a random letterbox after you have enjoyed this message for as long as you want!

Here are a few pictures:

Literacy and Numeracy tumble!

Hi there bloggers! 

Oh never mind it's reading time. Ugh!

Well That's not happening anymore! The Senior syndicate recently started doing... (drum roll please) Tumbles! We have a Numeracy tumble and a literacy tumble. We basically just have 2 different slide shows (One for maths and one for reading and writing). We have 3 different areas. Must do's - We have to do them before the end of the week, should do's - things that we don't have to do but we are expected to do them and could do's - things you could do in spare time. 

Have a look:

Term 1 Narratives

Hi there bloggers!

Welcome back to term 2! Hope you had a good holiday!

In term 1 we wrote narratives based on picture that we chose from a few the teachers gave us. I chose this picture: 

My narrative was about a man named Martin Sheller and I could tell you more but then you wouldn't read the narrative would you?

I really like writing narratives because I can use my imagination to make up whatever I like. 

I hate writing in other forms (especially recounts) because it's really hard to make exciting. My narrative was 1640 words long and had almost over 9500 characters!

Here is the link to my narrative: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UrkqAeS-BiMTN4KAvD0hPNTVRrjGlNnZpKzPmgg3I7s/edit .
