The First Candle

On Monday, the special characters led whole school prayers because of Advent. After Prayers, the First Purple Advent Candle was lit. There are three purple candles and one pink one. There is only one pink candle because it symbolizes that Jesus is born and it's Christmas.

St Peter's Orchestra

Last week, we had the St Peter's Symphonic Orchestra play at our school. They played lots of songs for us. My favourite one was the James Bond theme. I liked the James Bond theme because it was very funky.

There were lots of types of instruments. Like Brass, Woodwind and String Instruments.

Sports Assembly

Last week, it was the sports assembly. It was so long, it dug into our home time. The first one was the Year 5 and 6 Kapa Haka group. I was in it. The songs we performed were 
Te Himene O Te Hepara Pai, Te Aroha, Tika Tonu which was the Haka and the Hareruia. We also did this at the Eden Albert/ Rocket park Cultural Festival. Then after a long time, there was the Irish Dancers.  Then it was home time.

Christmas Tree Ornament

On Friday 30th of November, we made a Christmas ornament. We made Christmas Ornaments to hang up on our Christmas tree.  Here's a secret. Sometimes when we make Christmas Ornaments, some   adults say they'll keep it, but then they throw it in the bin. 
Don't tell or ask your Mum or Dad if they do that! 
We made Christmas Ornaments shaped like birds.  This is mine. It's not finished yet. :(

Science Experiment Fail

Last Week on the 23rd of November, we did a Science Experiment called spud guns. We used potatoes and straws. It was very hard to jab the potato and get the potato out after jabbing it. When we tried them out, it failed. Even the paper straws failed. When we used the paper straws, it was very hard to jab it and it would go soggy once it was inside or already had a potato.
And every time I would jab the potato and would take it out, It wouldn't have a potato piece.
So, after the experiment, we wrote down the results and we didn't have much results.

Fractions Booklet

Today, we got our Math Review Booklet back. It was all about fractions. There was all sorts of things in there. There was fractions with number lines, shapes, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Learning it was very easy, but it helped me with fractions. 
It helped me a lot with multiplying fractions.

Math 3D Shapes

Yesterday, and the day before that, we made 3D Shapes. Yesterday I made a cone and a cube. Yesterday Yesterday, I made a pentagonal prism and a pyramid. The cone and the pentagonal prism was the hardest ones. I did 1 of each shape. We didn't do a sphere because it was we can't use paper to make a sphere. We could make a sphere out of paper machete one day? The only way we would do it is to glue newspaper around a balloon then wait for the newspaper to dry then pop the balloon. If you want to see the shapes, it's down here.                                 

WHY BOARD GAMES ARE DUMB

WALT: learn to write persuasive writing

Why board games are dumb
Have you ever seen some kid losing to some stranger on chess? Have you ever lost some game called Monopoly? Have you lost your fun in Game of Life?
Have you ever lost to a cheater that plays Connect 4 when he connected only three?
Well? That’s happened to me. Do you know some other board games aside from Chess and Monopoly? You know why? Cause they’re all dumb. They even have the word Bored in the word.(It only sounds like the word Bored and Board) If there were a Board Games Championship, There shouldn't even be one. It's just win or lose, lose or win all over again.
So, I have a point. Points that will force you to stop you playing board games.

First reason:Rage. Whenever someone loses, they get raged. Like me. I landed on my brother’s property on Monopoly and I had no money. And then the next turn, I get in prison. I mean, no one would bail me out but just visit me. And in Snakes/Chutes/Slides and Ladders, I was on the number 49, but then, I go to 35!?!
And my Brother/Sister/Friend was on the number 48. How was I supposed to defeat him/her now!?! I should've climbed that slide to the finish.

Second Reason: Rules. When you are so close to winning? Rules. When you are rich but lose money? Rules. Rules happen. Like UNO. There is lots of types of UNO. But UNO Emoji is the worst. My brother doesn't even know the rules. When I get a card full of Emojis, I have to get 5 more cards! Is there another card that gives you 5 more cards!?! Did I not get told?
Third Reason:Family Game Night.
You know that day when you and your family spend time together by playing a board game that is called “Family Game Night?” I do not like it.
Why can’t we watch a “Movie” Mum? Why can’t we go to “Sleep” Dad?
Why can’t we play “Video games?”
I think why family game night is supported because your “parents” want to make you embarrassed and make it look like you are the “Best Family Ever!!”

Last reason: People that don’t know how to play. Have you ever gotten soooooo much Pokemon Cards but don’t know how to play? It’s Neopets all over again.
And do you know how much energy's do you need? Twice the amount of your total Pokemon Cards. Why there should there be a Pokemon Card Tournament?
People don’t even know how to play!
They should call “UNO!” when they’ve defeated all their enemies.

And that’s why board games are dumb. It’s because you rage, those board games have Dumb Rules and Family Game Night is Dumb and people don’t know how to play.
All those stuff above this, is all board games.
And if you are a board game creator, tell another board game creator to stop and tell another board game creator to stop and another board game creator to stop and another board game creator to stop and another board game creator to stop and another board game creator to stop and another board game creator to stop and another board game creator to stop and another board game creator to stop and another board game creator to stop another board game creator to stop.
And if you don’t enjoy your board games,
Burn them or sell it to your next door neighbour.
UNO!

Comics

Today on Wednesday 7th November, we drew comics with Josh/ Mr. Drummond. We learnt how to make our drawings better and he also showed us our "AWESOME OWL PAINTING". We had him to come in because our new topic for writing is comics. This comic is about the three creatures, Chicken Man, Fat Guy Who Ate A City and Waffle turtle. This is what is happening. So Waffle Turtle wants to swim, but the others want to swim on Waffle turtle. So they did. At first, they were enjoying it and were happy. But then they sank because waffle turtle was not made for this. ( I'm telling this to you because it will be blurry when you try to read it)

Science Experiment

Today on Friday 16th November we did a science experiment. The experiment was to use different tweezers that were like beaks and see what tweezer/beak is best to pick up gummy squares and skittles.
Before we did the experiment we got to have 1 skittle and gummy each.
We named the tweezers Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Type 4, Type 5 and Type 6. We picked Type 5 for the Gummy because it would jab through the soft surface of the Gummy. We picked Type 6 for the skittles because the wide end would help pick up the wide end of the skittle. Then we got to have some more Skittles and gummys. Then we got diabetes. JOKING! We just got sugar rush.
Yum!

All Saints Day

Today, on the 1st of November, was the Feast of All Saints Day. In the morning we first set off to church. Instead of having Monsieur Bernard Kiely,  we had the priest of St Patrick's Cathedral. Then we sang a few joyful songs. After that he asked what our favourite saints were. We heard St Joan Of Arc, St Patrick, St Mary Mackillop, St Mary, St Mother Theresa and some others. Then we sang the last song then the Feast finished. But it was not over yet because there was still the whole day left.

Bike Safety

Today on Thursday 25th, we did our bike safety course. The people who were teaching us were Bigfoot Adventures. They taught us stuff like how to put a helmet on with some extra stuff that were useful. They also told us that that the lever in the middle of the wheel needs to be tightened or else the wheel will fall off and, they told us that a bike must have a reflector at the bottom of the seat, the brakes must work and the wheels must be pumped. This is me riding a bike. When I first rode the bike, I didn't know how to ride a bike. But then I learned, I knew how to ride a bike.
After that I felt so happy!

Information report: Red foxes



Red foxes

WALT: Write about an information report about a mammal.

The Red Fox is one of the seven species of foxes.They are related to dogs.They actually came from North America and Europe.
Here is some more information about them.

The Red Foxes habitat belongs in the Grasslands, Deserts, Mountains,Forests, Suburban areas.
They are not really endangered. There are still lots in the wild.
Because we still hunt them but they are still not endangered.

Babies life cycle:
The male Fox and the female fox will mate.
The female Fox will make 1 to 10 kits after mating.The female fox will
dig dens while the male fox will find some food.

The red fox’s diet: for a diet, red foxes can eat berries, grasses and fruit.Foxes can eat fish or seafood, squirrels, birds and other animals.

The red fox can change white in snowy winters to keep safe from predators in the snow.In the summer and spring, the red fox’s fur is
dirt brown to camouflage with the dirt or trees.

The Red Foxes hunt anytime, especially at night
because some foxes are nocturnal. They start off by stalking or
following their prey. When their prey stops, they pounce when it’s time
Foxes aren’t dangerous to people but some are because they are rabid.
I hope you enjoyed learning about the red fox.

Science experiment

Today in science, we learned about reaction. We tested if the wet or the dry tissue will soak up the colors with the colors, red, green, blue and yellow.  The yellow is actually in the blue container because it's changing colors. The result was the dry paper towels soaked liquid up best because the wet ones already had some liquid in them but the dry ones didn't.

Life cycle of a star

Star life cycle
WALT: to explain how stars work.
Stars are everywhere. When you look into the night sky, you can see them.
In the daytime you can’t see them but they’re still there.
First phase. Protostar
A star’s life cycle depends on its mass in it’s nebula.
The cloud where it was born.
The more mass,the shorter the life cycle.
The mass is determined by the amount of matter.The star starts to spin faster and faster until it reaches 15,000,000 degrees.
This means it has become a protostar.


Second phase.Red giant
As the star glows,hydrogen in the star’s
Core is changed by the nuclear fusion.
When the hydrogen supply in the star’s core runs out,the star won’t be generating heat anymore and, the core will be unstable and shrink.
The outer shell of the star will still grow larger.As it grows larger, it will cool and glow red.It has become a red giant.
It is red because in the core of the red giant, the helium has joined into the carbon.


Third phase.White or black dwarf
If the red giant doesn't have enough mass to create the core temperatures,near 1 hundred billion, required to combine lots of carbon and oxygen created at its center.When it sheds its outer layer,there will be a ring shaped shell of gas leaving its core behind.
Over the years,maybe billions of centuries, the white dwarf will cool and become a black dwarf.

The Last phase,Supernova.
Then the red giant becomes a red super giant triggered nearby a white dwarf which makes a supernova then ends up like a black hole or a neutron star.
That's how a stars life cycle goes.
It was very long but that's how a life cycle goes!

Animal Classification

Animal classification

Today we learned about how animals are classified into groups. Animals are either vertebrates
(which means they have a spine) or invertebrates( which means they don't have a spine).

Invertebrates are animals like jellyfish, crabs,insects and octopus.

Vertebrates are put into five groups.They are mammals, birds, reptiles,fish and amphibians.
Mammals have fur or hair and give birth to live young.Birds have feathers and lay hard eggs.
Reptiles are cold blooded and lay soft eggs. Amphibians breath through through their skin and need to keep their skin moist. Fish breath through gills and have fins

5 examples of each type
Mammals: Mammoths, Cows, Gorillas, Lions and Bears
Birds: Parrots, Budgies, Swallows, Hummingbirds and Kiwis
Reptiles: Chameleons, Skinks, Geckos, Crocodiles and Turtles
Amphibians: Frogs, Salamanders,Toads, newts and Caecelians
Fish: Snapper, Stingrays, Sharks, stone fish and gold fish

My birthday



The Morning
On my birthday 17th February 2018 I went to Jump.
In the morning my Dad and Mum said “Happy Birthday!” my Dad’s brother said happy birthday to me also. When I went to the Lounge I saw my brother playing /watching on the old Computer that still works. He was watching Teen Titans Go! on netflix. He said happy birthday and good morning to me also. For breakfast I had corn beef and egg. I didn’t eat corn beef so I didn’t eat that instead I had tuna and egg .Then I watched Tad the lost explorer.


The Afternoon
In the afternoon my Dad called me to come with him because we were going to buy my present from Toy co. When I got into the car I got to sit in the front seat. When we were halfway there my Dad put on the air con and I yawned a lot. When we got to Toy co I couldn't find the Bey-blades but my Dad said”Maybe it’s on the other side” and he found it! The Bey blades there was:Genesis Valtryek V3 but my Dad spotted the best one!!! Storm Star stadium with Valtryek V3 and Satomb S3!!! Whoa! XD so we bought it for a deal,me and dad I have to pretend I was so surprised when I open it. So he bought it. When we got home he locked the bedroom door and started wrapping.When I went to the lounge my cousin Victor was here and was already halfway through Tad the lost explorer. A few minutes later, we got in the car and drove to Classic Bake house and picked up my cake. It was Denis daily riding on a tron bike out of the galaxy. Then my Dad drove us to Jump.(If you want to know where it was I think it was at East Tamaki)

The Wait


When we got there my dad took out a bag of twisties and we ate some. Then we went into Jump.It was full of people! I got excited. We just had to wait for my cousins.  I ate a few more twisties then there was no more. My mom fed me some chiffon cake. (which looks like bread but softer)After that I watched my brother skate nearly everywhere. 15 Minutes later... our cousins came.Now we have to wait for my dad’s brother. 5 minutes later…
His brother is here. Yay! I can go into Jump now.

The Party


We went in but… We had to wait for the time to get to 5:00!?!?!? It was only 4:48 but time was running fast and I got to my party fast so first I went to the free jumping place then I went and jumped into the foam pit...oh.! The dodge ball place! So we started and we did Boys vs Girls. DODGE BALL EXTREME!!!!! So we started but we kept on losing so tough luck on us but some people joined in and went hard on us. There was lots of people in the the girls team so XP


The restaurant
(I skipped the other parts because I didn’t have time to write it all so sorry)
After the party we went to a place called Momotea.
They served yummy Malaysian food like spring rolls, Boba tea, noodles, Fried rice, crispy chicken with soft bones you can chew through, Tofu and milkshakes.
After that, we went home and tested out the bey blades and there was also new launchers.
My favourite bey blade would be Valtryek V3. He had a cool move called Genesis Reboot.
Genesis Reboot is when Valtryek’s tip turns on and spins around the stadium.
Satomb S3’s move was Roller Drift.
It uses the wheels on it’s tip to help it spin.
And then I ate some cake.
The end.

How a movie is made

WALT:write a piece that explains how something works.

How a Movie is Made


Hello, I am going to explain how a movie is made.


The first step is to write a script for the actors and draw what is going to happen.
The first step of cartoon is to draw the cartoon.


The second step is to get the actors and get the items ready.
For cartoon you need to do an ask for people if they’re interested for doing voices for the characters.The second step for cartoon is to,take a picture of your scenes that have been drawn and put them on a movie making website.


Third, set the scene, green screen or a real place to film.Then film the scenes.
The third step for cartoon is to play and add colour to it.


Fourth, put the jumbled scenes in order.
If it still looks jumbled up, put them in a different order.


Fifth, send your movie to a good director. If you did a cartoon, send it to a cartoon director. If he says that it's good you have a movie.
If he says it’s bad,put them in a different order or refilm the scenes


You've got yourself a movie! you can keep on making movies or just stop.
It might get watched in the cinema!

Once (NZ version)



The Nazis are back.


Once on a stormy day the Nazis came back from their graves and here to hunt their target  down.
New Zealand.
One afternoon in school,kids were playing,teachers were looking out and talking,Year 6 kids were doing their job…


The destruction of the school


BANG! CRASH! BOOM!
That’s the sound of… guns!
The Nazis rolled into our school taking children and trying to shoot people.
Tanks came rolling in and shooting the office building,the hall,the Rooms,the big Tree,the Turf but lastly the Playground!
All I could see is blood splatters everywhere.
I was blinded by the of the sound of the gunshots.
I had to run…
BANG
I fell on the ground. I had no vision. Is this a dream?
Everyone all ran inside the office building and someone dragged me.
“Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Is he dead?”James said
My sight was blurry and all I could see was some kids then I woke up.I stood up.
I took some cards out of my pocket.”Everyone form a circle!”
They formed a circle and I put 1 card on the floor.
“How did you make those uni-dimension cards”  Victor said
“I made them in spare time. Ninja Zolton come out!”I said
A flash of lightning came.”Hey! what do you need?”Ninja Zolton said
I said “Can you zap the Nazi tank please?”
“Yes! I’ll go lightning fast! Hey Nazis! Look at this!”
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
“The tanks stopped moving! I’ll press the red button now!”I said
So I pressed it but James pushed me out of the way!
“Hey! I was gonna push the button! ” I said


The Gss Robot


“Woah” everyone said “Have a seat” Mrs Hann said and some seats popped out with food.
“What does this do” I said “Woah!” everyone said.
“Sorry” I said “We are all a part of a body?”
“Yep”Kevin said “Definitely” said James.
The Nazis ran away.”Yeah! Woo Hoo! What are they anyway?” everyone says
“Nazis” I said “Adolf Hitler is back”
“You mean from Once and Then You mean” said Otis
WHIRR! WHIRR! WHIRR!
He’s coming back!
Adolf hitler has a Nazi-bot?!?!
They’re armed! Missiles,Flamethrowers,Swords!
We attack them but they’re too strong!
“MORE FIREPOWER” I said


Nazis are destroyed
The Nz robot hears us and combines with us into GSSBOT x 100,000,000,000
Then Felix comes out of the clouds
We do a special move, the Holy blast!
We get in a kamehameha pose from dragon ball z and blast them with Holy blast and we destroy them.
Light bursts out and melts the Nazi-bot.
“Yeah!! WHOO HOO!! Awesome!! NO MORE EVIL YAY!!!! Free from evil!!” everyone says


Adolf hitler is a robot!?!?


Adolf hitler spoke in a foreign language...
He pressed a button… BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
We ran to to the up top playground and ran for cover.  BEEP BEEP BOOM
We ran back to the school.
There was lightning statics with his body and out of his head we saw a dynamite!?
“RUN ARRRRRGH!!” everyone said.”SO HE IS STILL DEAD!?!”Kevin screamed
“YEAH”I said
The spark was nearly there but then… huh?
No explosion? It was a trick!! Destroy it! Tear it apart!
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
BOOM
“UMMMMM”I said “Ouch! Whaddya wanna do now?”
THE END

The scary storm

We are writing a senses poem about what happened last night in the storm
I see the light-bulb crackling creepily
I hear the lightning striking loudly
I smell the scent of fear
I taste my delicious dinner
I feel the smooth surface of my sister's computer
It makes me frightfully scared.

Math Graphs















                     
For math we split up in groups and we were doing graphs like:
Bar graph, Dot graph, Pie graph, Line graph, Stem and leaf graph and Pictograph.
(You can't see the stem and leaf graph but a group still did it.)
