Introducing Rūma Rima, 2019!

Kia ora!

I would like to introduce the so-called 'best class' at St Bernadette's School:

Rūma Rima!

We are a group of Year 6 and 7s in Mrs Lee's class.

We are a hard-working, fun-loving class with a great sense of humour.. but if we get a bit too silly, our teacher eat lollies in front of us. That makes us get back to work!

We enjoy challenges: We are reading 'Fish in a Tree' as a class novel. A character had some wasabi peas - we ate some because we were curious about what they tasted like. Some laughed.. some cried... and some wanted more!

We want to know.. is there anything your teacher does to make you angry?

If there's anything else you want to know,

All About Me!

WALT use Google Drawings to create a drawing about me.

To start the year, we were asked to create a Google Drawing about ourselves.

We had to include:

- Our favourite food

- Our favourite animal

- A country/place we want to visit

- A picture of ourselves.

All images needed to be original and created by ourselves!

This is my Google Drawing introducing me. I was trying to create a beach scene, but found it difficult to create waves - they look more like seagulls! I could try to trace waves next time, to make this look more realistic. I am quite proud of my giraffe, though!

What are your favourite foods and animals? Have you been to where I would like to go? Please comment below!

Beginning My Summer Learning Journey (Example)

Week 1: In the Beginning

Activity ONE: The First Settlers

Māui is a demi god from Māori myths and legends. Here are some interesting facts I have found out about him.
1. It is said that he caught the North Island with a fishing hook and used the South Island as a waka!
2. Māui has many brothers and he is the youngest of the lot. He is also very mischievous and will get up to a lot of trouble.
3.

I watched the movie Moana where Māui was the demi god who helped Moana save her land. He was very arrogant and stubborn. He has magic powers and could turn into different animals (shape-shifter).  The Maui in the movie is much nicer than the one in the story as he becomes good friends with Moana.

I have attached a image I created, representing the story of Maui.

Leaving my mark on the cluster

WALT create a logo for the Uru Mānuka Cluster.

We were given the task of designing a logo for the cluster as it did not have one. I thought it would be fun to design a logo myself - even if I did not compete for the prize!

We discussed the significance of the name of the cluster and also the mānuka tree itself.

My design has a Mānuka Tree planted inside Hornby - the frame is a rough sketch of the Hornby area, taken from a street map. I chose to use only a few colours and to keep the design as simple as possible.

Remote Control - Tweeny paunga

The remote control

Slowly I reached into the bag and grabbed my remote and I pulled it out of the box.

And I saw the back it had no batteries so I went to the store to buy batteries.

When I got home I put the batteries in the remote.    

So I watched a movie after and suddenly I got distracted by something and then I missed out

On a part of the movie so I quickly clicked rewind and suddenly it didn't change so I checked

the batteries to see if it wasn't working but there was nothing wrong with it. So I looked behind me and then my dad was un-eating his food so I clicked fast forward then he was eating so fast

I clicked pause.

My dad stopped eating Immediately. I went to the kitchen to check on my dad and he was completely solid. So I unfreezed my dad. My mum ran with shock into the kitchen.

" are you alright, honey" she said.  "I'm fine" said dad. It was me that froze dad.

"Give me that remote" said mum in a threatening voice."you will NOT have that remote forever" she said. And that was the end of my remote control.

Diamante Poems

We have been writing antonym diamante poems.

We wrote a class poem about Miss Honey and Miss Trunchbull from Matilda.

We then wrote our own, choosing two different subjects to compare.

Here are our final products!
