2021 Prize giving

Prize giving was so exciting. I liked how the students were so surprised

when their name was called out. I was shocked when I got 

called as a prefect for next year. Some of the audience clapped

joyfully and some didn't because they wanted an award.

I was delighted when I got awarded for the new leadership

award - I also even got a trophy. I am looking forward to be a good

role model to the little kids as a prefect next year.

NASA Edition Colouring

 It was fun colouring this ship because there were different colours to add to it.

What was hard about it was you couldn't get the exact colour to colour it.

Did you know this space shuttle  Atlantis launches for the STS-135 mission.

This was there last mission. Information about it: Space Shuttle Launched

Baking Cakes

 Last week our class done baking. Baking is cooking something sweet.

We baked a lolly cake and a apple cake. What you need for the apple cake was basically apples also

what you need for the lolly cake was basically lollies. It was fun baking because we worked together baking

 it as a team . Some of my class baked and some of my class didn't because they had learning to do.  

The apple cake was my favourite because the lolly cake was to sweet.

Learning Log Wk 5

What am I grateful for? How am I feeling today?

I am grateful for having a chrome book and stationery from the school to work on my learning. I am also really excited to go back to school and being able to see my friends from a distance. It will be weird when I wake up early in the morning because if there was no school we would be waking up around 9:00 and our school usually starts at 8:55 for our learning.

I am feeling great to start on my learning with others in my class.

What are my goals today? 

My goals today are to help other people with their learning, and to also throw out ideas that my classmates could use. 11 Reasons To Be Excited For School

Pancakes Friday

Renei, my teacher and I made  pancakes on our live class call. My pancakes didn't exactly go the way I wanted it to. The first one just tasted raw. I think I wasn't cooked properly. It was still a lot of fun - I didn't get any pancakes to eat but I had some breakfast.

scam.My class and also teacher has done this together.We had some arguments
if this was good to be true or was it actually true.I hope everyone is prepared for

My Whakatauki

 


This is my whakatauki which means a Maori Proverb. What we had to do was try to look for a Maori proverb and describe what the literal meaning was to it and what it means personally to you. We also had to decorate it with images and the background to make it look colourful. I liked my friend Willies Whakatauki because it also reminds me of my family in Australia and Samoa. Go check his blog out and hopefully he posted his whakatauki on there. Willies blog<Willie@ruapotaka.school.nz

Cybersmart Challenge 22

 

This week's Cybersmart Challenge was about empowerment, which is the "authority or power given to someone to do something". 
We should follow these instructions when we are commenting on others blog.
Something important I learned from this challenge is when a certain classmate has commented something not positive or helpful it will be wonderful if you told trusted adults about the comment.


This is what my work looked like when I was finished.I had a little
help from canva.com. I really enjoy doing cyber smart challenges 
and I hope others do too.

Tongan Language Week


I learnt some actually cool stuff in my online meeting about Tongan language week. Did you know that there are 170 islands in Tonga,amazing right.Even though I am not Tongan I still came first in kahoot maybe it's because I have a best friend that is Tongan. Even though it is lock down I think its still best we celebrate the beautiful culture Tonga by having a feed in your own home or wearing traditional clothing and blog about it.That are some ideas that you can do on Tongan language week. Remember Tongan language week is on the 11th of September on a Saturday.

My one was about my grandads hands,why I did it is because my grandad passed away last year but I didn't get to write about him.

My grandads hands by D.J

                                                                     My grandad's hands

                                                       are wrinkly lines racing up his body;

                                                        his back,is a bony line up his neck;

                                                     his legs,won't be able to move for long.

                                                                 His laugh is soft and pale;

                                         his breath,is like fire because he would always eat mint.

                                                                               Sleeping

                                                                quietly on his dusty,old chair,

                                                                              my grandad

                                                                is watching over us in heaven.
