Writing Fables

 You might be wondering? (Or not wondering) What in the mother nature world is a fable? Well I'm glad you didn't ask! Here is my little description:

My understanding of a Fable: 

A fable is a fictional story. A fable usually has a moral (Like a point to the story) . It could be about how not to listen to what everyone else has to say or how to look for the good side of life and not the bad. Everyone has there own history sometimes history can be part of a fable. When I first heard of a fable I thought "This has nothing to do with me!" But now whenever I feel insecure or like I'm all alone I make my own fable! 

 

I didn't really understand what the point of a fable was but now I do with the help of my teacher Miss L!!!!!

 

 

Here is a fable for you to read!

AND THATS ALL!!

Steps:

Step one:

Get your paper and fold it long side

Step two:

Write our name in big curvy and swirly letters.

Step three:

Fold the paper and face it up to a window then join the lines so it makes an alien type of shape!

Draw whatever you want around it and then enjoy your alien!!! 

Chris Moran. (R.I.P)

In 1973 Chris broke his neck playing rugby for Waihi athletic club. Chris became tetraplegic. Chris soon started to participate in Paralympic sport he made his first international competition at the FESPIC games in Australia 1977 where he received 1 gold and 3 silver medals in the Paralympic athletics one year later thanks to sporting achievements he was awarded Marlborough Sportsman of the year. He represented his country at the Arnhem 1980 Paralympic Games in Holland. He competed in the Paralympic athletics and Paralympics swimming. Chris missed a place on the podium when he achieved fourth place in the discus throw 1B. That was a little blurb about Chris Moran. Here is my DLO ( digital learning object) I made my DLO in a Google drawing. Here it is!

How To Play Lape! Writing Procedural. 

Talofa Readers! We were writing a Procedural text which is a text where you have to explain a game using instructions which we write ourselves. I chose Lape which is a game from Samoa. This is what I wrote:

Lape is a game played in Samoa and can be played by almost any number of people but one or two or three.

From the game that my mum taught to all the people who are teaching the cultural games which are kids. I learnt that sometimes they had a jandel in Samoa to hit with so it didn't hurt their hands.

Goal: Is for the fielding team to catch the ball when it's hit or to get the ball onto a base when the hitting team gets on the base.

Hope you enjoyed it. Aloha bloggers!

Waikowhai Student Led Toolkits W.S.L.T

STEM WEEK - WAIKOWHAI STUDENT LED TOOLKITS 

 It was 16/6/21 and I was so relieved not to be a presenter! Answer YES. It was a bright sunny day when I had just finished a LONG assembly. Toolkits is an online presentation that has been presented by two or three children. For STEM week. But it had to be appropriate to class. We all had a little strip of paper that told us where we were going for our first toolkit right before morning tea. A few days ago we went on a site that the teachers had put on for us to choose our three toolkits. There was a lot to choose from and I chose the three that I thought sounded pretty fun. I chose : Piskel, Musiclab and Book creator. And they had 35 mins to show and present their presentations. 

I went to my first toolkit which was Piskel presented by Zara and Josie. Piskel is an online tool used by colouring squares in the same or a different colour. I was going to draw a T-shirt that says SAMOA but I drew this instead CLICK HERE OR CLICK HERE . I had so much fun and learnt lots of things like the mirror tool that will copy ANYTHING you do by just copying the page! 

Then after morning tea we went on to our next two toolkits and I had just been waiting for thing one and it was presented by my friends Erana and Paityn. They were presenting music lab that was probably my favourite one because I really like music and playing instruments. And what I liked most was when there was a big place in the music lab website where I had to click one of the squares and it would show a colour and it would make a music note. 

For my last toolkit I went into my own class and the toolkit was ... BOOK CREATOR!!!! I was pretty intrigued when I heard the name BOOK CREATOR. The presenters for this toolkit was Ayana and Nora were the presenters and I was very very excited. First they showed us how to login and we tried to figure it out ourselves but they showed us anyway. We could make two kinds of books: a normal one and a comic. I made a comic about Samoa and will blog about it when I am finished. 

I really enjoyed this toolkit and I really want to be a presenter and I hope our teachers let us do this again at the end of the year.

Plus STEM means : S Science T Technology E Engineering and Mathematics.

Cultural Games learning!

 Talofa, Kia Ora and Aloha! Yesterday on the 27th of May we learnt a Russian game that was called Wizards. We got into two groups and split into one third of the court. There was three taggers and they have to try and tag you and we had to run away from the taggers. The non taggers would try and run away and if the taggers tag them. If you got tagged you had to stand like a star and shout for help. It was very fun and I was not a tagger but I got tagged a lot. In the last round of the game there was four taggers on of which were my friends and I felt so bad running away from them. It was the end of the game and the taggers had won, sad. 

For our next game We played stream and it was a game that needed an uneven team and we had one person that ran through nd grabbed a random person and the person that lost their buddy came and ran to the front. We faced west and got our buddy that was sitting west of us. We also got to yell for the person to grab them and sometimes we would and sometimes we won't. On my first go I grabbed my friend Erana and she was laughing when she came out. It was so fun to learn TWO small Russian games and I would be so happy to play again. 

 Spark arena!

Talofa readers! Today was one of the best trips I have ever had! All the year sixes had gone to a trip to the Spark Arena on one of the fanciest buses I have ever been in! When we got out of the bus Me, Faith, Chrystelle and Erana were SUPER excited because we have been waiting for an exciting trip that was calling our names. When we got into the arena we had an explanation by Suzy Cato she also had this T.V show that I used to watch. 

Our first out of three activites was the Happy Place! It sounded pretty good but also a bit TO happy. My expectation was the EXACT OPPOSITE of my expectations. When we walked in there was a slide and a MASSIVE ballpit. We all took off our shoes and went four at a time to jump in induvidually or together I was in line with Faith, Erana and Santanna.

When we jumped in we couldn't get out! Faith couldn't even see anything! We ran to the photo booth place and I bumped into a mirror that was at the end.We passed the cookie and upside down room. In the next room there was a BIG ball that looked like a snowglobe and we went in and saw confetti on the ground and chucked it in the air and in each others faces. We took photos of ourselves while throwing the confetti in the air. 

It was fun until we went to the sounds fun and we went into the room we first came into. We tried some drumpads and pianos and drums and trumpets we went into groups and went to the drum pad set. But the sound wasn't working and we went to go explore the other activites. Firstly there was SIGNED posters of some VERY famous singers like:

Six60, Maroon 5, Jessie J, Beyonce and even The Potato Band! It was getting close to the end and I decided to try some out. First I tried the online piano and we were shown the keys and played them when the yellow line came we pressed the keys and they either glowed green, purple, orange or red. 

Then came the Van Gogh experience there were quotes about what Van Gogh wrote and his sketches and went to this big dark room that had Van Gogh's pictures and paintings on the screens and we all went and sat on the floor that had some pictures from a projecter and it look like we were part of the painting and we also heard the sounds of the piano from Mozart and Bach. 

At the end of the sessions we all came out of the arena with a smile. It was very cool to see lots of diifrent things in the arena. At the end we were also very hungry and we were lucky enough to get food! We got a sandwich, ready salted chips with some apple jucie. I was very happy here and I really want to come again. With my parents . . .  

And as we always do photos! WARNING A LOT
