Action Day

                                                                     Action Day

I woke up at dawn, looking ford to an action day at school. MLH ( my class ) were going to go on a big walk up farmland and Otukakara hill, to try and find the start of Hamanatua Awa. Hamanatua is the Awa is in Wainui Beach School Pepeha. 

Once our class room was lined up  on the deck we started our journey. It was a gloomy and cloudy day, perfect for a day of walking. Once we had got to the end of Hamanatua Awa,  we followed the underground path to the hill. 

It took a while to arrive at the hill/ farm land. There was a little river we had to cross. I liked watching everyone cross the river. There were some funny moments when people crossed unsuccessfully.  I leaped over. It was a bit nerve racking. Eventually the whole of MLH got across the bridge. Wet or dry we all got across. 

We soon made it to a nice shady tree, that's where we sat and ate morning tea. Then we were of walking past all of the Cows, Ducks, and Sheep all with their babies. We all had to be quiet when we walked past all of the baby animals just so we don't scar them. 

It came to the time that we had to turn around and go back. But we still got to see when Hamanatua  Awa was very small. I liked walking with my friends. I liked the freezing breeze that flowingly blew by hair back and ford.

Once we got back to school we got changed because we were all very muddy. After that we were aloud to play. I decided to play under knee tag. 

Here is some photos about our walk.

Reading Workshop

                                                        Reading Workshop

Every week I participate in my reading workshop. This week, in our workshop we had to film a flipgrid of our self reading the retell that we all wrote last week. I was a bit nervous that I would forget my sentence I was meant to read. But I got ready to do my first attempt. 

Our goal was to look at the camera while reading, just so it looked like we were reading it off by heart. It makes it look better. It also makes people interested at listening to the video because you are giving them eye contact. 

I decided to take my first attempt. To make it look like I was reading the retell of by heart, I would get a sentence in my head then say it.  After I said one sentence I would pause the flipgrid, so then I could have time to memorise the next sentence. It took a little while but I got through it. I took a couple of attempts to get the video that I was happy with.  

I liked doing my attempts. Once I had finished my final attempt and I was happy with it. I posted my video / flipgrid. Then I linked it to the task sheet, so there is evidence that I  did a flipgrid and so the teachers have easy access to the video when editing and checking people's work. 

That was one of the activities that we did this week for our writing workshop. Then we had to rap up a little bit of information about the retell. I liked my reading workshop this week.  I learnt heaps and found out lots of new information I the reading workshop this week.

WorkShop Retell

WorkShop Retell 

Early Morning, Jacob was helping his mother stack firewood. Au Sum came along selling Bok Choy, alone, in the small chinese village." I don't know how you can eat that 'muck'", said Mrs Bishop. When Au Sum travelled by selling his Bok Choy. Mrs Bishop was a lady who live next door to Jacob and his family, they lived in the middle of the little chinese village. Mrs Bishop didn't know how to control her words. She thought it was bad to be different to others. 

Au Sum could here Jacob still sneering and had a sudden urge to go fishing and to leave the firewood. He wanted to get away from Mrs Bishop. 

It only took one moment for the river to steal him. While Jacob sunk down the river Au Sum had got hold of Jacob's arm hardly. Au Sum tried hard to save his life. Soon enough Au sum had been able to pull Jacob onto the soft grass, on his back. Au Sum took Jacob to the hut. The next thing Jacob knew, that he was in a darkened hut, next to the hot steaming fire. 

Jacob's mum soon entered the door of the hut. Au Sum greeted her, and told her all about what had happened. " Are you okay Jacob"? Said The Mother. " I'm okay Mother", siad Jacob in a soft voice. Jacob took his Mothers hand and the pair walked out of the dark hut. As they walked along the gravel path, the two of the came across Mrs Bishop. Mrs Bishop said" a lot of bad things about Au Sum, but Jacob and his mother just said good things. Mrs Bishop could never understand how people are different.

P.E At School

                                      P.E At School

At the moment, my class been participating in P.E every single day. If you didn't know P.E is a short  version for saying physical education. P.E is very good for your mental health. P.E is one of those things that there is NO restrictions on when you have to stop, e.g: you can do as much P.E as you ever could imagine, as long as your body doesn't explode with pain. 

 P.E can be all sorts of things, e.g: Sport, Running, Games, just anything that is out doors and that is physical for your body. I love being in the outdoor fresh air, especially with my friends & Family. 

Normally after you participate in anything physical things, you need to stretch your mussels afterwards. Just so they don't get to painful for the next day / week. If your mussels get tight, that means you need to give them a good stretch. That will make you be able to do P.E the next day without any of your body hurting. 

I reckon you should start / do P.E everyday or week. Or whenever you have any free time. Being out in the fresh air makes you feel fresh and good ready for your day ahead.

                                          P.E In Lockdown 2.0

At the moment most of New Zealand is in level three lockdown. That means you can go out of your house for P.E and others reasons. At the moment my family and I have been getting up to a lot of P.E and sport. 

Yesterday we travelled to wheat stone road. As I was biking up the big hills it felt like our legs were burning. I love to be in the fresh air. Finally we got to the top of one of the big hills. I stared down at the bottom of the hill. I could see a lot. 

When we made it to the top, There was such a good view of the whole of gisborne. 

Soon enough it was time to go down all of the hills. That is my favourite part. I zoomed behind my brother still staying on track. My brakes squeaked as I pulled them tight when I flew down the hills. I went down one last hill then I was at the bottom. I was very proud.
