Science Intensive

Today for the first block we were in Mrs Moopanars class for our last Science Intensive lesson, our lesson was based on magnets and what we did was that we had to do was to make a pyramid and in the middle we had to put in a magnet. After we had made it all we did was played with it. Then it was Morning tea time.

After morning tea we played with our cut out objects that had pins in it. Then we used a large magnet and a paper to put on top of it, So that when we move the magnet around so doses the object. After we did all of that we blogged about it. After we blogged we play a game until we had to leave.

Light session with Miss Kay

Today we had a session with our teacher Miss Kay. Our lesson was based on light and what we did first was that there were three stations. The first station was lasers and mirrors, the second one was with  4 papers stuck to the wall and i tiny silver ball that we had to shine on the paper with a flashlight, the last one was the we had a magnifying glass with a paper to shine the light on.

Next we moved on to reading a booklet about light, then we watch a movie about rainbows. After that we watch a movie call the magic school bus. After watching some of it, it was lunchtime so we packed up everything and went back to class.

After a fun break we went back to Miss K’s class to finish the off the day, what we did for the last block was to write a blog post or an information report about what we learnt throughout the day, after the clock struck 2:30 it was time to pack up and head back to class.

It was really awesome today and I learnt lots of cool and new info from today.

Here is a link of to one of the things that we did today and a video that we watched.

Financial Literacy #2

Today we had a lesson on Financial Literacy because we had to learn how to save and spend your money wisely. First they started talking with us then we got a worksheet to look at and complete, after we finished we got a bigger paper to write down what to spend and what to get money off.

Next we had to get one item to save up for. Then planed it. 5 minutes later we shared it with the whole class then we packed that away and moved on to talking about all the things that we did for the past 10 minutes. After that they went to the next class.

Tennis Lesson #2

Today we had our second Tennis Lesson with our coach called Campbell. First we started off by practising in groups of four and the people in my team was Mateaki, Me, Mata, Fusi, Moses, Sam and Chris. So we played each other until we played this new game called Table Tennis doubles, the way we play is that after one of as serve your teammate has to hit the ball, the way you get out is by hitting the ball twice in a row.

After A long game of that we had to pack away all the equipment and wait for the next class to come in.
