Cultural Diversity Day 2019

Cultural Diversity

Yesterday was Cultural Diversity Day at school. In the morning, we came over to the amphitheatre, Mr Wilkinson said that there were about 24 different countries at school. There was a flag parade, people were showing their flags around the amphitheatre. After that, Whakamanawa sat in a circle and we shared some things about their culture, I didn't know where some people came from, I found it quite interesting learning about other people's culture. I am filipino, so I wore some filipino clothes. My mum made a sticker with the Philippines flag on it and I put it on my shorts.

Me under the Philippines flag.

In the afternoon, some people did some cultural performances. There were many performances like some dancing and singing.

Te Reo Māori Assessment (Objects in the Classroom)

Objects In The Classroom

Last week, we did an assessment on classroom objects in Māori. We had to move the objects to the right name. I found Pene & Pene rākau the easiest ones.

My next step is to learn rubber, paper, pen, bag and whiteboard.

Prototec

Today, I have done a Prototec, I was rushing so I messed up on the factors a bit. I got 34/40 in 7 minutes and 53 seconds

My next step is to spend less time on the factors.

Filipino Culture

 Filipino Culture Drawing

Kamusta, I am going to share a Google Drawing about Filipino Culture, if you did not know, my parents are Filipino but I am not that good at understanding Filipino words.

The flag is the Philippines flag, the city is Manila, the capital of Philippines. The picture on the bottom left is the Philippines. The food on the left is Adobo, a chicken and some sauce and the desert on the right is Halo-halo, it has shaved ice, evaporated milk and some fruits like ube and coconut.

Before School Expectations

Before School

Kamusta everyone, I am going to show you some things you should do before school. Some of them you could do at school, or at home. Try to do this so you will be ready for school.

My next step is to follow these rules and try to get to school on time.

My Goals For Term 2

My Goals

Kia ora everyone, this week I have made a Google Drawing about my goals. I really want to work on the ball with a fire trail. I have set the excercise goal to 40 minutes, because I excercise a lot during morning tea and lunch.

My next step is to actually do the goals starting from today.

My Gratitude Bubbles

Gratitude Bubbles

Today I've been making a Google Drawing of my Gratitude Bubbles. Gratitude is being thankful for what you have. You don't have to be grateful for only big things to show gratitude, you can be grateful that you have clean water or that you can talk.

                              

You can come up with a list of things you are grateful for before you go to bed, or when you go back home from school.

A Week Of StepsWeb

StepsWeb for a week

For literacy, we have done Steps twice for this week, we had a total of 60 minutes (one hour) on Steps. Some people managed to get more than 60 minutes, they must have went on Steps at home.

I am surprised that I've managed to get 53 minutes, 27 gold medals and 44 activities done in 60 minutes.

My goal is to get 65+ minutes next time.

Dancing Like The Stars Lesson 1 1/5/19

Lesson 1

Today we did our first lesson of Dancing Like The Stars, the song we were dancing to was Happier. The teacher's name is Shawn. Shawn said we will learn Bollywood, Modern Jive, and Tango which was a mix.

We learnt a new word called choreography which means dance moves. There is also another word called formation which is the places everyone is. 

We did some stretching before we started dancing.

Then we learnt some more choreography, here is what we learnt so far. We learnt 25 seconds of the song in the first lesson!

It was a very fun experience, I am looking forward to the next dance class on Friday.
