Week 3 Of Term 3

It's already the 3rd week back to school!. YAY!!. I feel better to be back at school. So today on this blog post I am going to share with you some amazing things I've done so far this term. Well to do this I am going to use emojis again.

This is my first emoji. I chose this emoji because this week and last week we have been learning about starting our speeches (Also a bit of term 3). We have to produce a speech that is explaining about a charity that is helping the world to stop polluting and basically just stop global warming. I am super proud of my plan and all the effort I put into the commas workshop and in my plan. I was focused at all times and was never off task. I also was looking at my book standards to keep them up to date. Another thing, when I started writing my actual speech I am super duper proud of the rich vocabulary I used in my speech.

This is my second emoji. I chose this emoji because today (Thursday) we had our maths strategy workshop. I was curious about the different types of strategies that I can use to help me solve subtraction problems. But the one that we were focusing on in particular was add, don't subtract. It was basically you were reversing a subtraction problem into an addition problem and then the problem becomes an addiction problem. In order, to solve the problem easily we used a number line.

This is my third emoji. I chose this emoji because tomorrow (Friday) is the GEG summit. A bunch of learners from LH6, LH3 and some other learners from other schools have brought up a presentation about something cool using digital tools or robots. They share their knowledge with other learners and then they give each other feedback and feedforward. I'm not a presenter but I am a participator or attendee and I'm lucky enough to be included in other people's workshops.



Thank you for taking your time out to read this blog post. I know, I know it was SOOOOOO Long!!. I'm sorry but I will try and make my blog's a bit shorter.


                                                 THANK YOU!!

WHAT!! It's Term 3!! WOW!!

WOAH!!, it's Term 3 already!!. But anyways, in this blog post I am going to do something a little bit different. You would have thought it was a simple reflection but it's actually not!. I am going to select 3 amazing emoji's and describe how I felt this week as it is the first week of term. 

This is my first emoji. I chose this emoji because I was away on Monday and Tuesday as I was at Fiji. I will tell you guys what I did in Fiji on another blog post!😀. 

This is my second emoji. I chose this emoji because I was REALLY tired because I didn't get enough sleep as I was travelling a lot in the holidays. Also, because in the holidays I get to sleep in but as it was school I didn't get to.

This is my third emoji. I chose this emoji because in the workshop we did today for maths was a little bit complicating. In maths we did problem solving and there were problems based on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We did the problems to show the learning coach how we solve problems and how we used our learning from the past few terms.

Hmm... What am I looking forward to this term. I am looking forward to SOOO much things!!. But what I'm super excited about is the Year 6 Kokako Lodge camp. We get to stay their for 4 days'ish. Also I am looking forward to learning new things everyday and share it with my parents.

Science Madness!!!

On Friday 30th June, Week 9 LH6 went to the science roadshow at our school!!. Yep, that's right this year Ormiston Primary School hosted the Science Roadshow in the multi-space!!. There are hosts from LH6 and they are helping other learners with different activities. Today we were observing different science experiments the Science Roadshow leaders had planned. One of the leaders were Shane Kingston. 

There were experiments like the elephant toothpaste which is not actually made for elephant's to brush their teeth, that's just the name of the experiment. Another experiment we did was with liquid nitrogen which is -346°F and dried ice temperature is -109.3°F. They are both REALLY COLD!!. When they react with water it creates a water vapor. Also, the Science Roadshow helped me so I could understand science in a more fun and creative way.

My next steps would be to dig even deeper into the learning and experiments that maybe I could even start an iExplore or learn more about the experiments and share my learning with my family and friends.

THANK YOU!!!

Shooting Galore!!

On Thursday 8th June, the new netball team played against Mission Heights on the Ormiston Primary courts!!.😊💪👍

First, when we started the whole team was VERY nervous!!, but we were alright and ready to play. The players in my team were... Me, Yuvika, Samantha, Komal, Shaval, Karis, Aditi and Sameeha.

Secondly, this was the position I was playing on the day... GA which is goal attack. I was helping Karis shoot and also helping the team defend. The other positions were C-center, WA-wing-attack, WD-wing-defence, GA-goal-attack, GD-goal-defence, GS-goal-shoot, GK-goal-keep.
 Thirdly, I was the captain and Aditi was co-captain, and mostly my job was to play rock, paper, scissors with the other team's captain before we play the game so we can decide who chooses a goal or who starts with the ball. I won the rock, paper, scissors so I chose the ball and the other team chose the goal, they picked the nearest goal where it was sunny and we had to use the goal on the far end and we had a better opportunity to have lots of goals because we had less sun in our eyes while shooting. 

The game was #oresome because we had WON the game!!!. I don't remember the scores or the ending points.

My next steps would be to try and explore more different techniques and tricks so I can become EVEN better at netball than I already am.

                                         THANK YOU!!!

Memorable NYLD!!

On Thursday 25th May the year 6's went to the National Young Leaders Day in Auckland. 

We started NYLD with a chat from Liz and Christian. They introduced themselves and what will be happening today because they were the hosts. Some of the speakers that explained about being an #oresome leader were:

My favorite speaker was Daniel Flynn because he had an inspirational story. He thought of the people in countries with no clean water. He helped them out by making a company called Thank you. The company sells and gives the clean water to countries like India and South Africa. Little kids are dying due to dirty water, so to raise an awareness Daniel Flynn thought of this amazing plan.

What I learned from this experience was that you will always go past no's and other words that will let you down, but you will need support from other people and if you try your hardest your dream will come true. 

My next steps would be to inspire other people or share this with my friends and family. 

THANK YOU!!!
