This terms activities

Hi, its Ruby today I will be telling you about term 4 2019. It has been a very busy term four us, I have participated in heaps of activities this term such as Kapa Haka, Orientation day and Surfing. So I will tell you a little bit about this term, so let's get started!

Kapa Haka

Next of is surfing!

I enjoy surfing so much,  I love getting out and having a nice day out in the water. Every time I go out I try to get bigger waves and go out deep. I have improved so much and love going out and improving my surfing skills! And I enjoy having a great time with friends!

Powtoon

Thirdly is orientation day, I was so excited strolling through the gates of ilminster. I was feeling happy as I had the hole day ahead of me planed! We got into groups and did a digital break out! I made new friends and challenged myself! At the end we went to the pools and had a sausage sizzle.

The best Kapa Haka festival ever

 I scanned through the audience looking around, seeing wide eyes focused on the stage, waiting for us to get out there.  I sat there rethinking the moves in my head, wanting to be the best I can be! 'Please give a round of applause for Wainui Beach School!' We quickly moved to our group looking sharp and on track, we were now standing on stage in the showgrounds at the Turanganui Kapa Haka festival on the 20th of November, feeling proud.

Hunter our kaea strolled forward singing, then the audience clapped as we sang stronger as a group.

I thought this was the strongest time ever we have sang, I was stoked. We went there to show of our talent and show what we could do to everyone!

   

Halfway there we all got our poi out 'Poi kiamo' commanded Matidia, we quickly grabbed our poi  and held it in position waiting silently. 'Purea nei' and we were off! I gracefully swayed my poi around giving a big smile to everyone and doing a gentle takahia. I sang at the top of my lungs singing loud and big. My hair waved back a forward as I swang the poi in front of me enjoying the moment.'Purea nei' The crowd went wild, clapping for ages, I stood there feeling proud and happy! Next was the boys haka I quietly sang it helping them out. They shouted so much that the little kids got scared  and ran to their mums and dads!

Our end song was He Honore, I noticed that the Wai was singing it softly, we exited of stage singing at our best. The front row was still out there singing their best. They all clapped, I saw that the parents smiling and feeling proud of their kids. I had a great time out, I really enjoyed missing a day of school to come and perform. I would definitely do this again next year!

Big body

Last term our focus was on Hauora our physical wellbeing. We got together and thought about how we could learn,create and share our work. We got into our buzz groups and started thinking, what should be our interactive be and how we should display our work. We discovered lots of interesting facts along the way such as you have 3 layers of skin.

We decided that for our interactive we should get  people to press the finger in some ink and then press it on a bit of paper and compare your finger prints to other and see the results with a spyglass. It was all going well until someone(Shea) lost the ink pad! Then it went down hill.

We were looking and looking then we gave up. We had no other option than to get a marker and they had to draw on their finger! After all it turned out to be alright we had a great time and had a great day!

Speech

This term in class we have be working on our speeches mine is about why we should keep our beaches clean and tidy. I hope you enjoy reading my speech topic.

Dualingo

Ciao,Mi chiamo Ruby Dods. This week we have been trying out new languages on this some and educate app called Dualingo if you want to learn some different languages or are going on holiday and need to know how to speak a different language. All you have to do is chooses a lagage to work on a set your goals. Next you learn the basics such as nouns. Thn it starts to get harer in levals and you start to learn basic sentace. If you want to have a trying search up:https://www.duolingo.com/register to have a go and learn something different. It is relevant to me because next year we are planning to go on a family trip to France, Italy, Greece, and England. I hope to keep using this app so that my Italian improves and I can order food knowing that I'm safe from nuts. It would good to help my family read timetables and follow instructions in Italian. I highly recommend using Duulingo, if you are interested in languages or are going traveling. It is simple and easy to understand. Addio until my next update.

Cross country

Butterflies danced around in my stomach, my legs were as wobbly as jelly, i keep reminding myself you can do it. I eyed up Mr Shand not knowing when he would bang the block, i was waiting un patiently ready to get on with it. As soon as Ms Shand banged the block i darted ford trying to aim for the front. I keep on going trying to constraint on the race. My heart was racing around in circles wanting a place in the top 5.

In the distance i heard a chunk of people yelling "Go Ruby" then i started to go faster feeling encouraged and happy. Finally i reached the halfway point feeling that i could get into interschools and get a certificate. 

As soon as i saw the finish line i raced my heart, i sprinted across the line feeling proud and excited that i made the top 5. I was panting so hard i was out of breath. I raced to get my drink bottle and a snack. I collapsed to the the ground feeling worn out and thrilled that i made it through to interschools.

Hauora

Angle/triangles

In class for math we are learning about the types of triangles. There are 3 types as you will see in my slide show. Hope you enjoy.

Retro Tech

This term our topic was Retro tech here are some of our trips we went on.

This term our topic was Retro Teach so we decided to go to the East Coast Museum of Technology. The reason i picked this trip was because i learnt how things were used, for example we got given an object and we had to try and figure out what it was , our group thought it was a solar panel but it turns out that it was used to heat your car ,all you had to do is stick it on the back of your car and your car is warm. But now days all we have to do is push one simple button and your car will be warm in no time. I really enjoyed my time there.

Also we went on a trip to electric village i really enjoyed this trip because there were so many activities to do and all of them were so much fun there was a station where you could control your own robot with an iPad there was a station were you could ride an electric scooter around the room and there was a station were you could draw and do a quiz off a bit of paper. This Trip was my favorite out of the lot. To top it of with a good ending they gave all of us a lolly pop.

Also In moana learning hub sometimes on Friday we go down to the Hamanatua Stream and mulch. The reason i picked this is because i enjoyed helping the plants grow and spend time with friends. Also i like making a difference in the world. For a hard solid hour of great work we managed to mulch every single plant.

Quik right

My heart was racing around like a race track zooming around in circles.’Buckle up’ bombed the speaker then i froze knowing that soon it would start. I gripped my hands tight not daring to let go soon my kunkels got wight.’On this ride there will be darkness,dizziness and there will be sharp drops and turns so keep still at all times. Just great just what i needed i started to shake like crazy.

Beep and we were of in a flash i screemend my heart out fire flicked up and down.I looked in front of me and my sister was laughing and waving her hands in the air like she is having the best time ever!! I was shocked I was having the worst time in my life. Oh,no up ahead i spotted a 3 60 loop, I gripped my hands even more harder to the railing in shut my eyes and hoped for the best.

Suddenly the ride screeched to halt my heart beat slowly started to go down as soon as possible iI jumped out of the cart and sprinted out of the station. My legs were as wobbly as jelly and my head was spinning around none stop. I will absolutely never ever go on that ride ever again.

You will never guess what happened next lola suggested to go on it again then i totally freaked out knowing this would not be  good start away my answer was no way never again but somehow they covensend my to go on it agin don’t ask my how because i do not no!!

Retro Tech

In class we have been learning about what we think our object is and what was it used  for. On  the 12 of june we when on a school trip to the technology museum. 

We went there to see if we had guessed if our itam was right, we thought our itom was a solar panel but apparently it was used to heat up your car. All you had to do is stick the sticker on the back of your windscreen and wala your car is warm in no time.

For sure i would think that our heaters nodays would be more efficient to use.

Chapter Chat

In class we do chapter chat. Chapter chat is each week we read up to  2 or 3 pages of our class book called Fish in a tree then our teacher sets us some activities to work on and I chose vocabulary this week. I hope you enjoy.

Strand

Wheels day

"Are we there yet," I groaned. People were whizzing past me. My heart was pounding, gasping for breath, our destination seemed like it was about 90,000 feet away. I started shifting to the back, my feet were going crazy. I pedaled as fast as I could but it seemed like I was going nowhere. Somehow I ended up at the back of the line. I was devastated.

When we reached the place I was so relieved. We all gathered around  the Pou looking curious and interested. We all went silent as Koka Terri announced why the Pou were put their. I learnt heaps of fascinating information that I didn't know before.

But on the way back I realised that my bike was broken. I tried to fix it but it was no use so I just had to put up with it the whole way back to school. I have a wonderful but tiering time.
