Art W9

Olá, welcome back to my blog. Happy Friday!

This week in art we had to get a picture of our self and do a self portrait on google drawings. We used the poly line tool to get each detail of our face. We watched a YouTube clip on how to do the self portrait. Here is my final product and I'm very proud on how it turned out.



Have you ever done a self portrait on google drawings before?
See you next time Bye :)

Winter sport catch up⚽🏆

Bula, Lately I haven't been doing my sports posts so here's a quick recap.

*2 weeks ago on Saturday we played Belfast. It was a good game and we won 21-0. That game I got player of the day. I played well for my 3 quarters in WD and me and my team were really happy with our end results.

*Last week on Thursday at winter sports we played Elsmere college. We sadly didn't come away with a win but that's OK because we played a not so bad game.

*The last Saturday we played Cashmere. We won 18-10. That was also a really good game.

* The most recent game was yesterday. Yesterday we had a tough game. We played Catholic Cathedral College. They had some really tough players but I think that our team played really well to the best of our ability's. We lost 24-9. I scored a goal! Usually I play in the mid-court. Yesterday I tried GA. I enjoyed it but I still like the mid-court the best.

What sports do you play?
See you next time Byeee :)

Weekend Netball 😎⚽

Hello,

Today at netball I played for a different team. I really enjoyed having other people to pass around to. I also enjoyed playing netball with some new people that I have never played with before. We won 11-8 and I played 3/4 WD(wing defence) and the other one I played in C (centre). The team I usually play for won 20-9. Can't wait for Thursday sport next week as we didn't get to play last Thursday.

Bye:)

Breakout EDU

Bonjor,

This week the googlers ( one of the leadership teams ) made a breakout EDU. A breakout EDU is where you have to find clues to unlock locks and crack codes. This year the theme for our breakout EDU was all about wonder. We looked around the library to sheets of paper with clues on them. We had to unlock one box which had a hint card in it we could pass in if we needed help. My team escaped with 26 minutes left. I think that we worked really well as a team but next time we could of discussed more about what we were doing so that it took us less time to escape.

Have you ever done a Breakout EDU?

Reading Synthesis eggs

Kia ora,

Today I'm talking about my reading for this week. This week my goal for reading is to: Think while reading,pick up new information, and come up with new ideas and new thinking. Synthesising is putting together information from the text with our prior knowledge to develop new ideas and understanding. We read a book called Me Me and Me about a girl with a cellphone. Here is the  reading synthesis eggs sheet I filled out before and after reading the text:

The Teachers Strike

Kia hoki mai ki taku putea mo te wiki, he pai te wiki o te katoa (Welcome back to my blog hope everyone is having good week)

On the 29th of May the teachers went on strike.
The teachers went on strike for 2 reasons.

• Because they aren't getting paid enough
• Because they don't have enough time.

1. The first one is a big one because they don't get paid enough. Private schools did not join in with this as they are not paid by the government. That is why private schools cost more money to attend. Hopefully soon the government will give a pay rise so that everything can get back to normal.
2. The second thing is time. The teachers said that they spend so much time on admin and getting things ready they don't have that much time to actually teach us.

Bye :)

Did you get the day of on Wednesday?

See you next time :)
