Culture Club

On Friday, our class held an event called Culture Club. In this event we had to pick a country to research. We also had to dress up in their national costume. Some of the info we had to add was the flag's meaning, national food, traditions and more.  My country was Mexico and my buddy was Ziggy. Here is my presentation...

James K Baxter Poems!

We have been making poems inspired by James K Baxter. We used the same layout as his "This Town" poem. We had to choose a location that's special to us and 5 things that it has. Then you write My____ and I did what____ do. You fill in the blanks with things that you and a group of people do. Here's an example, My family and I did what Families do. Then you write 5 things that you and them do. Then you end the poem with "Doing nothing important". Here is my poem.

The town was usual enough, it had

schools, dairies, a rugby field, a beach, and even a bike track.

My friends and I did what friends do-

Played video games on sunny days, bought lollies, drank fizzy's, biked places like a mob, and stayed up all night watching movies.

Doing nothing important

Actions Stations Day!

On Tuesday this week, our school had a day called Action Stations Day. On that day, everyone in our school helped to clean, create and more. My class was helping clean up our beach in a 100 metre square. Here are some photos of what we did on Action Stations Day.

When We got back from the beach we put all the rubbish in buckets inside. We talked about what material all the rubbish was and what bin it goes in. Here are some more photos.

Here is us talking about the rubbish. We collected plastic, wood, bottle caps, paper, cardboard and lots more!

These are all the bins that we put the rubbish into to. In total we collected 359 pieces of rubbish.

We had to choose out of a hat the letter that we will make our sentences and pictures on, my letter was V. My Sentence was "Victor the Vulture vroomed the van while Vincent the Viper played the vicious violin". Here is my picture.

Time For Timetables!

Hello Again, welcome to my blog. Here is a presentation of how Moana fills in their timetables! The past few weeks we have been working on our timetables! Timetables are a way for the students of Moana to learn how to manage their self by going to workshops and doing activities set out by the teachers. Here's how it works.

 First the teacher sends us an email with a Google Form link on it. Then go to Gmail and if you click on the link you get taking to a Google Form. On it is WorkShops(wksp for short) (A WorkShop is 30 minute activity. When it's your time to go to the workshop you get your equipment for the workshop. You go down to the mat and that is when you learn about the topic you have chosen). There is a place to put in your name and some topics. The topics for the workshops are Writing, maths, Screencastify, Te Reo, P.E and science. Each one has a time and topic for example, Early level 3 - Writing a blog post. -  (Monday 12.30 AM and Wednesday 9:00 AM) Each one has a picture with the teacher that you are doing the workshop on. You click in the boxes to tick them which means you have chosen them.

Once finished filling out the form you go to the homepage of Moana Learning hub( The learning is our moana website). Then you scroll down till you see a clock. There will be text next to it saying "remember to fill in your timetable at the start of each day". Click on it and it will take you to Google  Sheets.You would find your name and fill in the empty spaces with your workshops. There is a place for every day of the week except for friday (Friday is not in the timetable because its home room friday which means we stay in our own classroom and do activities chosin by the teachers). You have to fill in Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with your workshops and activities. You get the activities from the home page of Moana Learning Hub. Scroll down and you will see a purple page saying links to learning with activities that you can put on your timetable.

  When you finish filling it it with activities from the links to learning page put in your reading group(you will find your reading group by the poster in Moana 2 and 3. If your boxes are yellow that means that you have been on the wrong activities at the wrong time. If you have filled in all the boxes you are sorted for the week! Thanks for listening to my presentation! See you in my next post!
Here is a picture of my part of the timetable!

I like the new timetables because I am the one choosing what I do each day.
