Have you ever dreamt of something and thought or been told you can't do that. Remember if you can Dream It you can do it.
Michael Mulipola loves comic books and he used to draw his favourite marvel characters such as Green Lantern. Now he draws for other people not just himself.
I really like how he mixes two of his favourite hobbies for a paying job, wrestling and comic drawing.
I enjoy following numbers patterns it really is quite easy once you can see how the numbers in the sequence change.
Swimming - we are so lucky to have our pool open, thank you Mr Ball. We go swimming on Tuesday and Wednesday. We start with a warm up as the water is slightly cold. We have a race to the other end (12.5 metres) and then play a game, ‘ships’ or ‘stuck in the mud’. We have used the noodles but they have to be cleaned each time a class uses them. Miss even taught us side stroke, where you lay on your lower arm positioned above your head and pulls the water to your middle, the other arm moves from the middle and pushes the water away. Feet are doing a scissor kick.
The tricky part was making sure we stayed 2 metres apart at least. Are you able to go swimming yet?
We are looking at Cultural Sports, we have been investigating Kilikiti. Today for our early bird task we had to use the combination key to mix a sport with cricket. I choose Football to mix with Cricket. Here is my new game - Footit.
Today we tried a different type of cricket called Kilikiti. Samoa was introduced to English Cricket many years ago. But they thought it was boring as it took 5 days to play one game. So they change some of the rules.
You must always have two hands on the bat, and if you are not facing the ball the bat needs to be on your shoulder. If you step out of the pitch you are also out. Hopefully the teacher will take some photos for us to share what it looks like.
I found it hard to bowl, as I haven't bowled for cricket in a few years. Next time, I hope to have a bat.
Today we were making posters about being safe back at school. After a while we needed a brain break. We had a fork, a cup and four straws. We were in teams of two.
We fast walked to the table and using one hand how to hold the fork and try to get all four straws on with out touching the straws with our other hand. Mrs Mundy lined all the straws up and got them all on at once. I wish I had thought to do that. Once all the straws were on the fork, we had to stand the fork in the cup. That was tricky because of the wind blowing in our class.
Have you ever had a brain break, What did you do?
Not that sort of table, she means tables, you know times tables.
Actually you are both on a different plane.
Look at this:
Everyone has a different method of making a blanket, whether for a special event or everyday use. I remember sitting of the old tartan coloured blankets for picnics. I even have a guide blanket with badges and scarves sewn on from when I was a girl scout.
I love how the Tivaevae and Ngatu are used to tell stories and are passed down through the family.
We have been talking about different ways of presenting our work and how it doesn't always have to teacher directed. We have already shown you our reading using google doc earlier this week here is the same tasks with different readings being compared.
We have been looking at how people are explorers. We have talked about how this can be in our own backyards, to across oceans and into space. Traditionally explorers didn't have a compass and they created their own to help with telling stories to give a more accurate account of where they travelled, not just west as this is almost covers half of the compass directions. They used up to 32 points of the compass so you would have to listen carefully to make sure you went the right way. Here is a compass that has our boat in the middle and 16 points of the compass.
The tradition of Exploring goes way back. People still like to explore, there have been many movies and books written about exploring under the sea, space and the local area.
