Spark Arena trip!!!

 Spark Arena

Hi viewers, for today's blog post I’m going to talk about the Year 6 Spark Arena trip. When we arrived at Spark Arena, 2 other schools also came: Royal Road school and Lincoln Heights School. Brendan Hines (The CEO) organised the schools into different Exhibitions, The exhibitions were Van Gogh, Happy place and Sounds Fun,  and we have half an hour on each one. And we had Suzy Cato with us.

The first exhibition we went to was the Happy Place. First we went into the ball pit. The ball pit was so deep that some people sank into the pit and it was so tricky to climb out, and we had to go 4 at a time. Next there were rooms. The first one was the silver room which makes you look like you're a popstar, The second one is a room full of chains which makes you dizzy. The other room had a tub with yellow balls inside and walls with rubber ducks. After that, there was an upside down room. A room with a chocolate chip cookie with the chip like doors that can open and close and stick your head through it, another room with a unicorn, and another with sunflowers in it. The final one was a dome with confetti and people were playing and threw confetti at each other while it was being blown.

The next one was Sounds Fun. First we could play with different instruments like trumpets and trombones and electric drums, drum pads and a keyboard. The first one I did was the trumpets and the trombones and we had competitions like who can blow the loudest or longest. Next I did the drum pads and the keyboard, and we could make songs or notes.

The last exhibition was the Van Gogh experience - if you don't know who Van Gogh, he is a

famous Dutch artist who painted over 2100 artworks. There were 3 rooms, the first room had

information and pictures. The second one was a big room with Van Gogh paintings and there

was a 3D image and moving pictures as well. The third room was the sunflower room with

sunflowers everywhere and mirrors as walls.

The whole trip was amazing!

At the end we got a free morning tea in a bag. There was a sandwich, apple, chips, juice and

there was a vegetarian sandwich if some people are halal or a vegetarian. Blog ya later!

ANZAC: A day in the trenches

A day in the trenches  

Yesterday, when I went to school everyone was crowded outside Hauraki and Waitemata and all the teachers were wearing black and had face paint And so many people were saying there are lasers in the class and I ran to the back of waitemata. If you don't know what ANZAC is, it is an army that New Zealand and Australia fight other countries.

When the teachers allowed use inside and then after the bell we had to crawl under the wires and then we had to spread around and do tasks. We had to start with 10 points if you go over the wire you lost a point and the teachers might shoot you if you reach 0 points then you will be the servant.When we were doing tasks the teachers are trying to distract us and we are not allow to go out unless if its lunch or morning tea and almost after school we had to get blindfold and then we had to unleash the strings and then clean up.

Landscape art

 Landscape Art

Have you ever made landscape art before?

In Te Waka Ako we have been creating a Landscape artwork. If you don't know what landscape art is, it’s an art piece that you have to draw using some landscapes like some Mountains. To draw the landscape art, first we had to rule a rectangle and also it fits in a A4 paper  in our art book and then draw some hills or mountains. Then we had to add a sun and patterns radiating from the sun. Next we had to add color using cool colors like Blue, Green, Purple and warm colors like Red Orange Yellow Pink. When I finished my art I was proud of it because it came out very nice. Blog ya later

Family Fun Day

Family fun day  

Kia Ora Bloggers Last friday Our school had a family fun day. If you don't know what a family fun day is, it is where families can come and have a fun day with their child  and it's every year but not 2020 because of lockdown. On family fun day we had to  wear our house colors, Tui, Kea, Ruru and pukeko, and then we had rotations. The rotations were Bouncy castles, Inflatable water slide, Magic playbox/Wheels, pool and Slippery slide. We were fundraising cakes and chocolates for this year's camp.  

For the bouncy castle we had to go 2 at a time, and then we had to do an obstacle course. And then people can go to the small obstacle course if they want to. When the bell rings we had to go to the Inflatable water slide, but we had to wear  our clothes because These chemicals on our togs. After that, we went wheels and then swimming and Slip N slide!

Lockdown 4

Kia Ora Bloggers, Today I am going to tell you about things I did in Lockdown. In lockdown I felt Bored because there was not enough to do and you can't go out to do stuff. In Lockdown we had a google meet. I didn't go to the meeting because I didn't know. But I did some of the activities. My favorite activity was I spy with google earth because I get to find landmarks and it was very easy to find because they are all in New Zealand and then we had to put them in our Lockdown creations. I felt Happy coming back to school because I get to see my friends. Blog Ya later
