My House Of Bricks Reflection

Kia ora a few months ago we had people that came in from the house of bricks and they came and gave us advice on making lego creations.

 My favourite Lego activity was desinging the mosaic because  Lily, Mia and I made a beautiful beach and we got a photo with it.

My least favourite Lego activity was the car racing because I didn’t like having to go back and change it. 

The activity that tested my perseverance the most was passing the bricks because when I got mine back it did not look like it had at the start.

The most challenging activity was pass the bricks because as I was adding stuff to other peoples I watched my creation change and develop.

I enjoyed working collaboratively with others because It shows that it makes the job go quicker.

Weird Writing

 Kia ora and welcome back this week for witing we are doing a persuasive text. We had to choose a topic off a doc and I chose that we should not have sweets everyday. I wrote about not having sweets everyday because it there is a downside to it. here is a demonstration say that I wanted to make it so nobody littered I would have to do a persuasive text to the government. but there would have to be lots of persuasion and good writing. but I hope you enjoy.

You should not have sweets every day.

You should not have sweets every day because then you will be very unhealthy. 

Lots of sweets contain artificial flavors,colors and sugar. Artificial anything is not good for your body. Your body doesn't really understand anything artificial. You can even get cavities from too much sugar.

You might get sick from eating too many sweets but you can have them once or twice a week. I know as kids we love sweets but it's not the best for us. Adding it to a balanced diet is the best idea.

Jolly junk food persuasive writing

                                                Hi im back with some persuasive writing.

Over lockdown I have been working on my persuasive writing, this week mine is on junk food. I love junk food but it is unhealthy so it a sometimes food. You need to have a balanced diet and try not to eat dessert unless you  are exersising because it is unhealthy but if you want to you can, I hope you enjoy.

Junk food at school?

I believe that we should be able to have Junk food at school. We should be able to have junk food because then we will be able to power through our work because of the calories, we will be so hiped up from the simple sugars we might even ask more questions. Who doesn’t want a nice gooey caramel chocolate bar? We would be good for the day and crash at night and have a good sleep.

Magical Margaret Mahy

 On the 20th of may we went on a trip to margaret mahy first we went on the waka then we went to Victoria Square Next we went to Margaret Mahy last but not least we went to feed the tuna eles as well as looking at the mats .

First me and my team went on the Waka we learnt how to use the paddles then we went to victoria square.We drew a Pou and learnt about the maori meaning of pou and we saw the stachus of captain james cook and Queen Victoria.

Next we went to Margaret Mahy and we did a scavenger hunt for maori patterns me Mila, Charlotte almost got all the patterns but then we got called in and mrs Carney told us about the patterns and what they mean last but not least we feed the tuna eles I got a fright by them but the most fun thing was playing with my friends. 

My favourite part of the trip was victoria square because we got to learn about the pou the kai table.There are stachues of captain james cook and queen victoria

Something I learnt was that margaret mahy have Maori designs printed in it's path it also has a song in it. There are the first ships that sailed to New Zealand.    

The thing I found the most interesting was the tuna eles because they snap the food and it is quite interesting as well as it gives you a fright 

This trip has helped me with my PBL because I learnt lots of things about victoria square and the maori patterns
