Hornby Primary's 5 Awesome days

 Kia ora readers, 

Last week on Thursday, Hornby Primary started EOTC week which stands for Education Outside The Classroom. 

The places we went to were Adrenalin Forest along with Spencer Park, Mega Air, Top Team Competition, roller skating, Amazing race around town, Margaret Mayh, Botanical Gardens, Surfing at Sumner beach. 

One of my favourites was roller skating. At first I didn't know how to skate. I was crawling on the floor but then I decided to take little steps slowly, going faster, beginning to be really good at it. I went from being worried and scared to good and amazing at it but still fell over. 

At roller skating I also learnt how to stop myself with my roller skates by leaning forward on an rubber part at the front of the roller skates.

Some of my highlights was playing dodge ball at Mega Air, playing tag with my friends and teacher at Sumner Beach on the sand. Last one playing in the water.  Here's an extra one; in the Amazing Race, my team came first and is going to get prizes!

That day I was excited, happy and impatient.

Thank you for viewing my blog. I hope to post more next week!

Feel free to comment.

Our Hearing Poster!

 Hello readers,

This week the reading groups in room 9 learn't about different things like sleep. My group did hearing.

Once we had read information we had to make a poster on our hearing either on google slide or drawing. I did a google drawing. With the information I read I put it on my poster in my own words with decorations.

I'm going to share my poster.

Thank you for your time. Have an amazing day!

Persuasion Map!

 Xin chao and kia ora readers, 

This week room 9 made a persuasion map on a site called Persuasion Map. A persuasion map has labels for what you are arguing about like reasons, introduction, facts or examples and conclusion. We had to choose a statement from a slide show and write our opinion on the persuasion map. My statement was students should have a uniform.

So now I will be sharing my map!

Last Day of Swimming!

Hello readers,

today I am going to be telling you about my 2 weeks of swimming.

Through out this week of swimming me and my group learnt some survival skills and techniques.

We learnt a stroke for survival learning. (can't remember name)

The thing about swimming that I disliked most was a move called wiggly worms and my most liked thing in swimming was breathing arm and bubble arm.

I had a goal that was too swim full length without a kickboard and achieved it.

My favourite thing about swimming was jumping off a platform into the water. I was really proud that I could also touch the floor in the deep end.

Have a nice day thank you for reading my blog!

Canterbury Swim School ~ Day #1

 Ni Hao, Xin Chao readers and welcome back to another blog post,

This Term for 2 weeks Hornby Primary School are learning how to swim or you could call it swimming lessons. First room 9 and room 2 our buddy class went on a bus then drove to Canterbury Swim School.

After the bus ride both classes walked inside and got ready for swimming. Lastly both classes were split into groups and headed off to one of the pools with their swimming instructor, my instructor was a woman.

I learnt which of my arms is the bubble arm and which is my breathing arm for arm circles. 

My goals for the term are trying not to struggle in deep water and arm circles without a board.

Have a nice day, Bye!

Nature Spots Mental Health!

Xin Chao readers,

As you may know in one of my recent posts I was talking about Mental health and had done an activity aswell. So today I have another one about nature spots and who we would go with to those places. 

We had to get photos of our favourite places outside then write a list of who we would go with to the place.

I hope you like it and have a nice last day of the term!

Marleigh & Krystallynna's Second Playdate!

Talofa lava, readers

This term we have been learning to write narrative stories. The purpose of narrative writing is to catch the readers attention. 

First we had to write our story on a narrative writing planner labeled with different parts of a story like characters, setting, or problem.

Then we made a google doc and put our story together from what was on the planner.

We had to include similes, full stops, settings, descriptive words, 5 senses, and problem or personification.

One of my favourite sentences is I delightfully said "hello!" whilst nervously clenching my shoulders into my chest.

One thing I could improve on is finding another word for delightful.

Have a nice day!

Reconnecting for mental health!

 Hola, and Xin Chao, readers

I want to keep my relationship with my mum by calling her on my phone. This is my poster about calling my mum on a phone.

Remember to take time to korero.

Thank you for reading my blog, have a nice day!

What do you know about Water Safety!

 Kia orana, Talofa, Kia ora readers, In reading in my reading group called gryffindor with another group called slytherin have been focusing on facts about water safety that would need to be kept in mind when needed.

I know how to be safe in the water or around water by to never wear baggy clothes or lowering into the water using a ladder or steps.

So then we made a poster either on paper or chromebook on a google drawing or slideshow. I decided to do mine on paper and made it very decorative with my creativity.

Here's my poster.

Hope you have an amazing day and keep safe around water!
