Konnichiwa, My name is Beckett.

On the 30th of october Waikowhai Primary School’s Year 5 and 6’s went on camp to the Bay of Islands.

It was an early start getting on the bus at 7:50 and our first stop was Waipu Cove. We had a stop there and were going to go swimming but it was very rainy it was absolutely pouring. So we went for a walk. At this time I was wearing a moonboot. So it was very hard. Then we got  into the warm bus and everyone was relived to be out of the rain. Our next stop was Kerikeri we visited the stone store, the rainbow falls, Te Ahurea and then got back in the bus. Wethen drove the last part of the trip. To the Camp. When we got there we unloaded our bags and went to our cabins. Each cabin had two bunks, a queen bed that was shared a mini fridge ad some even had a mini kitchen!!! We had fisha nd chips for dinner then went to bed! Having a moonboot on and still being able to come to camp was a miracle.

The 2nd day was the treaty grounds but I really want to tell you about the 3rd day. On the 3rd day we went directly across the north island to find the incredible sand dunes. They are the biggist in New Zealand. We went flying down andwere going up and down constantly. I loved it the water was cold but I didn’t mind. I can’t describe how awesome it was. There were two groups one was at the sand dunes while the other group was at Manea Footprints of Kupe. The 4d experience was the best there the air blew at you and when he faught the octopus the whip under you whipped your legs it was awesome.

On the way we went to the Hundertwasser Art Centre. The first thing that comes to my mind is no strait lines for him. He didn’tlike strait lines there was a rooftop garden because he loves nature. Driving in through the school gates was also amazing being back at home felt good.

This morning in Minecraft I made a Spring Garden -…

Here is a screenshot

In the photo it looks like there’s a little bit too many animals but actualy there’s like 500. It was crazy!!!! I could barely see anything because it was so packed.

Then these those wandering traders. They’re kinda lonely.

Here is some of the work we’ve been doing in class about smart emails.

Kia Ora, I’m Beckett from Manukau in the senior school of Waikowhai Primary School. Yesterday, Wednesday the 28th of June was the Te Waka Ako Learning Showcase which was a time for whanau to come and look at some of the work we’ve been doing in class. We had lots of different items we had made that were spread out in our section of the class. We enjoyed eating the food that was sold there. There was Sausage Sizzles, spicy Samosas, and Ice Creams. Some of the items we showed were reading responses from our novels we read, we had our Identity Artwork, our Narratives that had been printed, Anzac Tin Artwork, our Arrays, cuckoo clocks, and Te Reo posters. We had a great fun night and we interviewed our parents with some interesting questions for a book full of stories from Te Waka Ako family.

On Monday, which was bright and sunny, it was Athletics Day at school. I loved it! We had activities like high jump, long jump, shotput and sprints. My favourite was probably the 200m sprints because I got 2nd place! But I also liked high jump and other activities. Something I want to practice is high jump because I didn’t do my best although I came 4th.

Here are my groups LEGO towers. We had to build a tower and then our teacher shook them on a board like an earthquake All of them fell. We had to rebuild them but make changes to improve them. They lasted longer than the second time.

This is my story about what happened

We constructed LEGO towers because we’ve been looking at Earthquakes. We were trying to design a tower that could survive an earthquake. 

The first design we made was not what we were hoping because we thought we needed to make the tallest. But we were surprised because we were actually trying to see if our tower could survive, which it couldn’t because it was too skinny and had no stability. The next time we knew what would happen and so we made it stronger. We made a stronger base and placed that on a platform, which created a stronger foundation. Luckily this time our tower survived the shaking of the tray!

We made Lego constructions and then made a google drawing to tell what happened once we built our Lego towers.

Here is my work. I like how I used contrasting colours and made the picture framed. Next time I could make the writing bigger and easier to see.

Last week we had a visit from some people from the Corban Estate Art Centre. They came to tell us how to create a 3D paper volcano art.

Here is my art.

I like how I made a little volcano next to the big one.

Next time I would think before I stick some things down with glue because sometimes there’s no reason for what I put down.
