Advent

W.A.L about Advent

 we are learning about Advent we learnt all about what advent is and I learnt that Advent is a season leading up to Christmas. It starts with four Sundays before December 25 or sometimes in the last weekend of November or sometimes on the first Sunday of December. We also Laurent about the symbols of Advent the symbols are on a wreath with four or five candles. one candle is pick and the other 3 are purple. The four candles all represent the four Sundays.     

I'D Rather knot

In kakapo class on our literacy contract we have a activity called I'd rather knot. So what we did was we made a poster on Google draw and we showed a picture of each knot and explained what each knot was good  for you to use and other things. This is my one

google ninja test.

Every week on Thursday in Kakapo class we have manaiakalani to teach us all about being cyber smart but this week in Kakapo class we came across this thing named the Google Docs Ninja challenge. What the Ninja challenge does is it helps us learn short cuts on all devices and can help us improve our device abilities. I really loved this challenge and I'm happy that I completed it. I will definitely use what I have learned when I am on my device. But we would have never done this challenge if we didn't see it on our buddy pass blogs last week.

Come on try the ninja challenge your self!

You are now a Google Docs Ninja!

our pompallier school arhletics day.

WOW! I had a great and fun day because in term 4 in week 3 on Wednesday we had our pompallier School athletics event. so from Monday till Wednesday I couldn't wait till athletics. so the day came first up was sprints I didn't get a placing but I still tried my hardest. Then second was long jump and again I didn't get a placing but it still went well. Then treed was high jump I did come second equal with my mate koby. Then we just did fun activities had a break and after was the 200 meters I came second in that.        

why I enjoy manaiakalan

I really enjoy doing Manaiakalani because we get to learn on our devices and have fun.  We have learned how to be Cybersmart , do animations, use google draw and we have our own blogs.  Mrs Cutler started a class site for us where our contracts go and any other digital links we need.  Manaiakalani taught me a lot of things to do on my devices like shortcuts which are quicker things so it doesn't take too long, how to take a screenshot and more. I love Manaiakalani because now we have our own buddy class where we can read their blogs and comment, they live in Gisborne.

    

Special things in the far north

In kakapo class for the last two terms we have been learning about NZ history local history but this term we are learning about Fiordland and all the things in the far north that make it special. But we are learning about this because our teacher Mrs Cutler has been reading us this amazing survival book named Cuz. Some special things and fun things that I love doing in the  Far North are going to explore all our amazing beaches, cafes, restaurants, and also going to Cape Reinga, Bay of Islands and exploring our museum.

Where do you live and why is it special to you?

                                          

athletics is coming up

        learning blog post

Get really because pompallier school athletics is coming. At pompallier school each year in term 4 pompallier has there own athletics event.But we don't just do athletics for a day off school or learning pompallier does athletics to get fit,learn better techniques and more. Also athletics for me is a great thing to do and I would definitely do it as a sport out of school. Also I would highly recommend athletics because you don't just do one thing there is different fun activities like sprints,high jump,long jump,shot put, and discus. But I would say athletics is a hard sport to do so when you do athletics never give up always try your hardest on each activity.

All About Term 3

In term 3 I loved all the sports we did but I especially loved doing cross-country and getting fit and healthy. I love how every week from week 3 we did #represent and learned how to be leaders and represent people. Also I still love learning about our NZ history and what went on in NZ before we were born. But this term I definitely knew that if contracts werent here I would be struggling a lot at school. I also loved doing manaiakalani and learning about devices and being cyber smart and improving my blog. Making animations was really fun! Also the last thing is I love doing is RE and learning about God and the holy spirit.
