Super House of Bricks!

 Hi guys welcome or welcome back to my blog! So some people came to our school and the thing it was called was House of bricks. It was awesome. So it was like Lego. So here is my reflection. 

My favourite Lego activity was the mosaics because I could create patterns I wanted to and it was fun to spin it and see all of my work going all together.

My least favourite Lego activity was pass the bricks because when I tried building a house when it got to some year eights they started to just throw bricks at everyone's creations and kind of breaking our creations.

The activity that tested my perseverance the most was the tower because we had to get in a group and try and build the tallest tower out of Lego. 

The most challenging activity was the tower because when we tried to build it, it fell down and it was wobbly so we had to keep making changes to our tower.

 I enjoyed working collaboratively with others because we could work together and make it better and when we are stuck on something we tried figuring it out by trying something different.

Thank you for reading my blog.

Maths

Stereotyping static image

 Hello everyone, and welcome back to my blog. This week we had to make a static image about stereotyping. In my writing group we were learning stereotyping about girls and boys. In this post I have explained what lots of people say, which is gender stereotyping. Here is the poster.

 

Do you agree with these stereotypes?

Town Trip

Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog!

Today I will be telling you about the town trip with my hub. My group first walked to Victoria square then we then went to Margret Mahy and I will also be explaining about the waka. I will be talking about what I learnt and what I enjoyed the most. I hope you enjoy reading it.

Victoria Square

On the 20th of May 2021 me and the rest of my hub went on a town trip. My team and I started walking to Victoria square to look at all of the pou, my buddy was Chydale. Then my group had to look at one really tall pou and draw how it looks like on a piece of paper. 

Margaret Mahy Playground

Next we headed to Margret Mahy playground, we learned about all of the special markings on the park. When we had to find some stuff, me and Chydale found two of them. We also got a piece of paper and placed the paper on some cool carvings and coloured it with crayons.

Mats and Tuna

Then we went to our next rotation which was looking at the mats and finding out what they mean. We looked at about three different mats. Then we also went to feed the tuna. Which is Māori for eels.

Waka

Going on the waka was my last activity. We learnt what positions to place our paddle when the instructors called out a word. And we also learnt how to row the boat with the paddle.

My favourite part of the trip was waka because it was fun when we were rowing the boat and it was a little fun when I got splashed with water.

Something I learnt was that there are thirteen mats around the town. I also learned that even if there is an earthquake the mats will not break and if we need to move the mats we can lift it up and shift it to another area.

The thing I found the most interesting was when I actually looked at the markings around the park because I thought it was just to look cool but when I actually observed it I realised that there were some words from books that Margret Mahy and Elsie Lock wrote.

This trip has helped me with my PBL because I learnt more about my tūrangawaewae and New Zealand's culture.

My Te Reo
