The Best trip to Action World

Te Maunga and Te Ngahere went to Action World. We all had to walk to Action World and some people didn’t want to walk. I wanted to walk because it is great exercise. We got there at around 10 o’clock and we were all excited. First we had to eat then we could go play. We all went around, trying different activities. Some people also went down the waterside and some of us went to play mini golf. Eventually, we had to go. Some of us didn’t want to go including me, but we did have a good time. What I enjoyed was having fun at Action World and being kind to others, and myself. My favourite activity was the rock climb because it would test your fear of heights. Also I didn’t want to jump down because I was too high. Thanks teachers for taking us to Action World. Here are some photos.

Awasome Chuck Close Art

Kia ora bloggers. In Te Ngahere we have been doing Chuck close art. This art was really fun and interesting. First we got a square that had smaller squares and some of the smaller squares were gray and some were white. In the white squares you had to color it in with a light color and in the gray squares you had to do them dark colors. After you had colored in your squares you then put a pattern over each square. After that we joined all the finished art together and it created a person. The people we made were Harry Potter and Batman. Do you like doing art?

Amazing athletics

Last week Paihia School went to Bledisloe Domain to participate in the inter school athletics day. We were learning to develop more complex movement sequences and strategies in a range of situations.Once everybody had arrived there was so many people. There were lots of groups that had been sorted into year and gender. So the Year 6 girls and the Year 6 boys would be separated. First we started off at the 200 and 400 meters sprints. My friend Angela came first in the 200 meter sprints and second in the 400 meter sprints. Then we went to shot put but we had to be fast because the last group took up alot of our time. After we went to my favourite activity long jump. There was three popsicle sticks in the sand for first, second and third. Me and Angela were coming first and second but a girl from another school beat us. Next time we go I’m going to try and come in first, second or third in Long Jump. Do you like doing athletic? Bye

Illusional art

Last week in Te Ngahere we started doing some art. We were learning how to make an optical illusion. First we had to draw 6 intersecting lines. After we did that we had to draw curves going up on every second triangle. Then in the triangles that hadn’t been filled in we drew curves going down. After we did that we had to carefully go over it with vivid. Next we picked 2 colors and colored every second line in the up curves with 1 color. Then we did the same but with the down curves and a different color. Next we did that we had to do shading of the same color where we didn’t colored in. What I could do better is try harder and don’t rush because my art didn’t turn out as well as I think it would just to be ahead. Have you ever made any type of illusional art before? Here is mine

2019 Film Festival

Last week on Wednesday a couple of year 5 and 6 students including me had an opportunity to go to the Kawakawa film festival. We all gathered up after tuakana hui and we walked down to the bus. We went to the Kawakawa Primary School hall. There were two girls who went to Kawakawa School who explained what was happening and a little bit about the film festival. We got told that the film festival was going to be at least one hour long but it went by fast. The first film was one of Paihia Schools films in Te Maunga. A couple of films later there was another film from Paihia School called Life About Nerds. After we watched it most of us were saying they saved the best for last because it was the best. The last film was Boy and it was really funny. The film festival wasn’t really long. I wish I went back to the six o,clock one because I really wanted to watch the remake of boy again. We had another movie night at Paihia School on the last day without the year seven and eights. If you want to know about that stay on my blog or come onto it daily. Did you go to the film festival and what was your favourite film?

Amazing Tessellations

This week Te Ngahere have been doing tessellations, tessellation is a shape that can make a pattern without overlapping or leaving any gaps. We did this so we could learn about the math terms, these are the math terms: tessellation, translate, rotation, symmetry and reflection. I have made a DLO to help you make your own tessellations. Next time we do this I think that I could do an even better shape. Have you made a tessellation before?
