The end

immersion assembly

On Monday we went to the immersion assembly. First we started off with a song called MUSICAL MADNESS from the principal and some teachers. During the song there was a drum. Mr Somerville did the drum solo and it was cool. After the song, Mr J started talking in scottish then he showed a video of his cousin playing in a pipe band.

I don’t feel excited about this term because we have to learn about music and make music i'm not that good at making music.

Animation Writing

Hi my name is Lennox. My animation is about two people going into space to try and save the earth. So there was a guy in the park but then 3 years later the world got polluted because everyone was throwing their trash around and two people decided to go to space. Jeffy and Jack built a spaceship and flew into space to find a new home. First they went to a colorful planet. They walked out, then an alien came jumping down. They ran dashing to their spaceship then they went to Mercury. While they were there one of them said “ It's too hot!“ The other one said, “Yeah let's go!“ They went back into space and they found earth 2.0. They heard a weird noise. This alien was nice to them and then 50 years later humans and aliens lived together. The End. By Lennox

My friend told me about the solar eclipse so I told my mum and I told my brothers and told my cousin and my mum told  her partner so we ran to a farm and sat on a hay bail. it got cold and dark and we all said wow.

Comprehension task

This was my task for this week.

landboat

Walt: design and write a brief

Walt: understand the difference between physical and functional attributes

this is my plan

We are designing a land boat to learn about technology and see how they work.

My boat has a pole that can hold up the sail and a rope. We need the sail so we can move faster and a rope to pull. We also have wheels so you can move fast and slow and turn. There is metal around it so you do not fall out of the landboat.

Environment narrative

One day there was an old man who kept getting sunburned because he had no shelter. He mostly stayed home but one day when he was going to the shop he walked under a tree and he realized he wasn't getting sunburnt. So then he walked under another tree and then he had an idea. He got his shopping and then went back home. He got dressed for the beach, he walked from tree to tree, and he finally made it. He quickly made it to a poem tree and he relaxed. He never got sunburned again.

Year 5/6 Camp

Walt: add detail to our writing to support our ideas
Walt: reflect on events and our experiences

Hi my name is Lennox and you'll never guess where we had camp!

The day finally came Pt England school year 5&6 camp on the field in tents. I had to wake up early, I had breakfast then brushed my teeth and I got ready. We went to my school  and then we went into the breeze, then the teachers told us what we had to do. We had 6 teams, my teams name was the general's. Our first activity was to practice our chant and then once  we had done that we went on the bike track at our school for a little bit. The  teachers put up the big tent we also call it the marquee, we had our afternoon tea, we had cookies and fruit it was yum.On the second day we went kayaking,  i fell out into the cold water and when we finished then we went to get changed. That night we had dinner my mum served as well.   We had our concert on the second night, the presidents won, on the last day Friday we went to Mangere pool’s i went into the bombing pools it was fun and cold.

Everything at camp was my highlight because the activities were fun, we got to try and beat the other teams. one of the teachers had a game called killing zone that was my favorite because at the end we go to throw water balloons at the other team it was awesome.Thank you Mr Sommerville, Mr Goodwin, Mr Burt all the teachers and everyone that came and helped.

You learned how to be yourself how to work as a team. Everyone should go because we do fun activities and hang out with your friends.
