Labour Day Reading

 WALT: Learn more about Labour day.

This week for reading Room 5 focused on Labour day. We had to fill out reading docs and do a bunch of readings with the teacher. We also had to create a Labour day DLO. My work is down below. 


 

Reflection:
I found it hard to obtain different info about Labour day because most of the readings given to us werent very different.
I found it easy to fill in the information slots with my own words.
Maybe next time I could work a bit faster, and work with a partner.

Manaakitanga

This week in Room 5 our Pb4L (Positive Behavior for Learning) Value is Manaakitanga! Manaakitanga can be shown in all kinds of ways, even by little things like by saying please and thank you or just holding the door open for someone. We had to fill out a Manaakitanga slide deck and make a Manaakitanga DLO about what it is to us. My work is down below.


Reflection:
I found it hard to make a Manaakitanga slide deck.
I found it easy to find ways to show Manaakitanga.
Maybe next time I could work faster.

Niuean Language week

 In-Room, 5 we have been learning about Niue. Like in my other posts we had to explore Nuie and its culture. We were given a slide deck we had to fill out and post to our blogs. My work is down below. 

Reflection: 
I found it hard to find info about Niue.
I found it easy to fill in the slide deck.
Maybe next time I could work with a buddy to make it easier.

Water Safety With Whaea Nacny

Today in Room, 5 we learned about water safety. We learned things like what to do when there's trouble in the water and who or what to bring with you while swimming. I also learned that Ahipara lifeguards patrol the whole of the far North beaches. There are some photos of us sitting and talking about what to do when you're in trouble when it comes to bodies of water. 


Reflection:
I found it easy to ask questions and understand Whaea Nancy.
I found it hard to remember what Whaea Nancy said last year.
Maybe next time I could try harder to remember and focus more.

Pet/Ag Day

 WALT: Create interesting creations with recyclable materials.

On the 30th of September at Ahipara School, we celebrated pet day. Our normal celebration however was forced to be canceled and re-made into a new plan. Pet day is also called Ag day, short for Agricultural day. The idea is basically in the name. You bring your pet to school and basically show them off! Dress them up, walk them around, and the best part is, you get a fun day. However as you can imagine, covid hit hard. Very hard. We were forced to go into level three which caused us to go into lockdown. By the time pet day came around, it was still level two. This meant that judges couldn't judge the students, and parents couldn't enter the school. As you might think, we were super freaked out. But luckily for us, the teachers came up with a compromise. Instead of a normal pet day, we could make recycled animals, potato characters, Orca drawings, and much much more. Here are a few photos of our incredible day!


Reflection:
I found it hard to: get recyclable materials to create a creature.
I found it easy to: draw my whale/orca.
Maybe next time I could: Put more effort into my projects, and work.

Thanks for reading about our pet day! Have you ever had a pet day before?
