Te Reo

This week most mornings we have been learning Te Reo. We started with learning numbers over ten and learning Tekau ma Tahi / Rua Tekau and more. Then we started with proper sentences and learning how to pronounce the words properly. Today we learnt how to say How are you? and respond by saying Kei te ______ ahau. We had to make a DlO on it here is mine. 

Novel Study / Character Questions

This Term we are Focusing on Novel Study and completing 20 activities based around a book I choose The Hate U Give as my book because of the strong messages that you read. We have 8 topics with 2+ Tasks. Here is my first task Character Questions. 

Participating and Contributing

We are showing Participating and Contributing in an everyday situation by participating in a class activity set by our teacher in groups and in front of the class. We were also contributing by sharing our ideas to our peers and not putting ideas down and building on them. That's what our Participating and Contributing looks like, 

Film Review

Yesterday we went down to the Regent Theatre in buses to watch the 2019 Film festival. For our first ever film festival the theme was Our Place, We were joined by Paroa and Kumara in the Theatre even though there were more schools they couldn't make it. 
We watched some very cool short movies my favourite was Paroa's which went slightly off the theme and did a comedy movie. There was a range of different movies from Quality to Rushed but they all still looked really cool. Next time I would prefer if there was no theme. 

The Shake Out

Yesterday at 1.35 pm nation wide everyone practised the Shake Out which is a practise drill for encase of an earthquake then followed with a tsunami caused by the hokitika gorge(For Greymouth Schools). We started with a intercom come through round the time of 1.35 - 1.40 pm which signalled that there was an earthquake so we dropped got underneath a table with our heads facing in holding our heads in a turtle position (Make sure your not near a window). Next we were warned on the intercom that it was safe to leave but there was a tsunami coming caused by the hokitika gorge so we evacuated and started heading up to our safe area which is at the top of a school friends driveway (We would be running in a real tsunami). When we got up to the hill Mrs O (Our Principal) started talking to us she always brings a rubbish bin filled with supplies just encase. After when we were cleared back to classrooms we talked about what we could do better, what did we think we did good and just answering some questions. I think Yesterday was a really good example for what we would do.
