My second ever climate change march!

Hey there bloggers!

You might have gone on a climate change march recently.

If you did you might have seen a big group of people with bright orange beanies.

Guess what?

That was us!

On my earlier march on the 15th of March just me and my friend Noah, (Check out his blog here: http://wpsnoahb.blogspot.com/) went without our school. But the teachers decided next time that there was a march our entire syndicate would go to!

So we did!

Since we were one of the first groups to reach Aotea Square a couple of us, with parents there, got interviewed by some news people!

Noah and I both got interviewed but we were really nervous.

The people running the march said that we were going to do something called a lie-in.

We would walk along the street and every few minutes we would lie down and stop traffic. We did multiple lie-ins and clogged up traffic on queens street for over 1 hour.

We did a lie-in so that then government would pay more attention to us and act on climate change.

Here are some pictures from the day:

Choir Rehearsal

Hi there bloggers!

Today our school choir walked down to Hay Park School to do their first rehearsal of the year! In case you don't know every 2 years a big group of schools choirs attend the APPA choir where we all rehearse some songs that we sing at the Auckland Town Hall in November.
Here is a picture of the Town Hall:

Today 7 of the schools (Including my school!) went down to Hay Park School to do a rehearsal. 

The schools that came for today's rehearsal were: Waikowhai Primary, Hay Park, Hillsborough, Mt Eden, North Coat, Arahoe and River dale.

We met Mr Lambert who is the principal conductor this year for the APPA choir.

We sang lots of songs including In Winter, The Moon, Rockin Robin, E  Te Tarahiki, Eye Of The Tiger, Ke Manuia Te Aho and we started a song called Les Miserables about the french revolution.

The Great Vegetable SMACK DOWN!

Hey there bloggers!

Over the last month we have been doing inquiry on fruit and vege. 

We were partnered up and we had to make a google drawing on a vegetable of our choice. I chose Bok Choy. We worked on our google drawing for a couple days and haven't really paid attention to them since, but then the teachers said...
We will be doing a vegetable SMACK DOWN! 
We have to talk to our whole class about our vegetable using the google slide. Our talk has to be under 2 minutes but not too short.
Here is my google drawing:

I think it will be really cool to learn about other vegetables and fruits in the presentation.
I chose Bok Choy because I sometimes eat it at home.
I will update the blog when we finish!

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 .
