The Prince who gave up everything

Walt: Research and find the answers to each question in the text.

Task: The task was to read the book called 'The Prince who gave up everything'. Then we had to answer all the questions and move onto researching. The first research was to create a new slide and find some information about India. One of the questions that we had to research was really interesting, it was how many languages do they speak in india, the results were that india can speak 780 languages. The next research is to create a new slide with interesting facts about 'what is Buddhism?'. One of the questions was really interesting, the one that I really liked knowing more about was 'why is Buddhism becoming popular'.

Superheroes Saving the day!!

Walt: Create a Narrative writing with the 4 w's.

Back in the 19th century, in a well known country, there were a group of superheroes that claimed themselves as “Justice crew” defender of Las Vegas. There names are Superman, Black Widow, Kitana, Beast Boy, Sub - Zero, Raiden, Blue Beetle and Wonder woman. Only 5 of these superheroes were the only ones that had powers and only 2 that had no super powers because they were normal humans, but they can fight. 

On the next day, the most evilest villains came back for revenge. Half of the superheroes from the bad side use to be good, but then they started being selfish and cold-hearted. So then one of the superheroes built the first time machine ever to be made in history. It was time for the superheroes to leave their world and go back to 1950s. 

When they went back to that time it looked mysterious to them. They were in China, where Sub - Zero was born and where he got taught on how to use his powers wisely. Sub - Zero’s father was strict and always bossy, but Sub - Zero was different to his father, Sub - Zero was clever, sweet, talented and he was always trusting. 

When they found the superheroes that turned evil in the future, they wanted to find some more information about what happened between all of them. When the problem was fixed they went back to the time machine to take them back to the future from where they were born. Everything was back to normal and they lived happily ever after. The End.

Kindness

Walt: Define and Identify Kindness

Task: The task was to make a copy of this presentation about stories of Kindness around the world. We had to try and find out what kindness meant to us and what the difference between Paying it forward and being kind. We also had to find similar words to 'Kind'. It was time to explain when did we do something kind for someone else.

Goals

Walt: Create a reflection of what you have gained in 2015 and what you want to achieve in 2016

Today I am writing a reflection about what I have gained in 2015 and what I want to achieve in 2016. I have improved my work in 2015 but I want to try my best and do my hardest to make sure that I do better in 2016.

In 2015, I want to achieve Maths. I chose to improve on maths because sometimes I need help and I am always struggling to work out the problem by myself, so that’s why I chose to improve on maths. Also, maths is a really important subject that I really need to learn so then I can learn new ways to solve the problem.

What I really want to achieve in 2016 is to do better in my school work then 2015. I chose to do better in my school work because I want to improve more and more and get better in all my subjects so then I can do great in school. I want to do better in my school work because when I finish school, I can take all the knowledge that I learned and take it with me to college. 

I hope I do better in 2016 and achieve what I want to achieve. I also hope that I can get better in maths so then I can work out any maths problems without needing anyones help.

Gamelab - Te Oro

Walt: Make a blog post about Gamelab, Te Oro.

It was the last day of gamelab. But before we could go down and have lunch, the spark people came and gave us Android 5 phones and $35 dollars Warehouse gift card. I have created a game called Zombie Island. When they finished saying their speech, it was time to go down and have lunch. The ministry of education came to see what we were doing.

Pes Survivors

 Task: We are learning about how animals adapt and survive in their own environment. Like a Wolf for example. We had to try and get an animal from the Desert environment and the Arctic environment. Then we had to get as much information that we know from that one animal. We had to try and adapt the animal from the desert environment and adapt the animal from the arctic environment.

Camp Bentzon

Walt: Summarise a week long experience into a recount.

On Tuesday the 17th of November the Year 6 students were going to Camp Bentzon at a place called Kawau Island. When we were about to go, Mr Burt said “All of use are ambassadors (The Year 6 students) Then we aboard the bus to drive to Sandspit so then we could catch the ferry to go to kawau island. It was a very long drive because sandspit was so far far away.

Then when we arrived, we started eating our morning tea. Kawau B went to pack the bags onto the ferry so then we could go on. But when we were about to aboard the ferry, we had to let the other people aboard the ferry before we could allow ourselves to go into the ferry. When all the other people aboard the ferry we had to go up the top the ferry. We were supposed to see some Whales and some Dolphins but unfortunately we didn’t see anything.

My first favourite activity is Abseiling because we were on a very tall tower. We had to try and get down but we had to do it very slowly so we don’t get an accident. But first we had to be safe so we won’t hurt ourselves. The first thing we had to put on was a Helmet and a Harness so then they can connect the rope to and we had to make sure that the rope is tight so we won’t fall. My favourite part of abseiling was facing my fears and never be scared of heights.

My second favourite activity is Kayaking because we were going to see some Stingrays and some Jellyfish. Mr Somerville was the person to take care of us. We also had a tutor and she was also the owner of Camp Bentzon. First we went underneath the bridge, but when I went underneath the bridge, I nearly fell out because their was someone else that went under the same bridge I went under. Some of us went through the Mangroves and some went around the Mangroves because they didn’t want to get stuck.

My favourite part of Camp was playing Spotlight. While we were having our camp practice, we had to wait for the right time to play spotlight because it has to be dark for us to be available to play. First the teachers explained to us how to play spotlight and what the rules is. Then it was time to begin the game. Some kids brought their torch out so the teachers could use it to find us. When a teacher finds one of us then they will always say “Spotlight” and you have to return to the deck. 

My other favourite part of camp was having the Concert night. The winning team was Mansion. It was so funny when the Boys were acting like girls and the girls were acting like boys. It was so funny because Alfa said “Come on girls, lets show these boys how it’s done” They started dancing to Hula Hoop.

At the end, I wasn’t really happy to go back home because I got to sleep with my friends and I also got to have heaps of fun. We had heaps of fun with the couples and they were kind to us and also helpful for what they did for us. It was time to hop on the ferry to go back to Sandspit. Then we waved goodbye to the couple and all the other people. So then we went back. But that is just how life goes.
