Science Week

In Paihia school we have been doing Science Week. Science week is when you go to every senior teacher and do some science. My teacher did oobleck and my friend Sam’s teachers one made sherbet and lemonade and the other made a straw airplane.   My other friend Josh his teacher was making cars and stuff.  My favourite was making the oobleck because oobleck is hard and soft at the same time pretty much.  If you hit your hand really hard it's a solid.  If you just slightly put your finger in it's a liquid. Now you learned something about oobleck.

life ed

In Te Maunga we went to life education/Harold. If you don’t know what life ed (the smaller words life education) is when you learn about what is bullying and when you do something mean and rude. Rude is when you accidentally trip someone up and you don’t say sorry. Mean is like someone doing something on purpose like tripping you up on purpose. Bully is when they keep on doing it like if you trip someone up twice, that’s being a bully. If you just do it once that’s just being mean.

First Aid Course

In Te Maunga we have been learning first aid. We learnt the DRSABCD. The letters of DRSABCD all stand for different things you need to do to help an injured person. The first thing you need to remember to do is look for danger to yourself. The second thing to do is if you patient looks unconscious, is to tap them on the shoulder five times and talk loudly to them and ask them if they are alright to check if they are really unconscious or not. The third thing is to send for help. Call 111 or get someone else to call or get an adult to help. If your patient is unconscious, the first thing you do is check their airway to see if anything is blocking it. Tilt their head back and lift their chin, check their is nothing in their mouth. We also learnt to how put a bandage on someone and make a cast. I feel like I just learnt a whole lot of new things about what to do to help people if their is an accident.

The four shot movie

We have been learning about four shot movies. Isaiah, Tia and I made a movie about Superman but we called it Super Vinnie. The four shots we  used were  a close up, bird’s eye view, long shot and the medium shot. The movie had to be around 30 seconds long. Then we had to write a narrative about our movie. What I feel I did well is understanding the instructions on how to make a four shot movie. I hope you enjoy my writing and our little video.

Here is our Movie.

Super Vinnie

Once upon a time there lived a man called Vinnie. Vinnie was a superhero he flew through the sky like an aeroplane. Then he was so serious on his missions because if he lost he would get fired. He was so strong and he was fast. Vinnie was the best superhero in the land.  His previous mission was to capture the Joker. The Joker was hardest person to defeat. Super Vinnie could fly up to clouds and airplanes. Super Vinnie  worst friend ever was called Mr Evil Pork Chop. Some people saw Super Vinnie  fly and they were shocked.

First Duncan our coach started with most improved and Joe Lang got it.  Then it was team player. He called out my name.  I felt awesome that I got a trophy.  Then it was player of the year.  Sam Bell got player of the year.

My poem was named Clarence the rugby ball here it is

                            There once was a rugby ball named Clarence

                             He's never had trouble with balance

                             He flew through the air

                             Between the goalposts near

                             No one was more proud than his parents
