Week six reflection

Hi :)
Last week was our first week back at school after lockdown. It felt really weird going back to school and seeing everybody after spending so much time at home. I found it a bit easier completing my tasks at school rather than at home last week. I think I completed all of my tasks except for some of my reading I had to do.
A task I enjoyed last week was our prior knowledge task we did. We began reading a book this week called 'Dark Life' by Kat Falls. Our prior knowledge task was based from the book and we did the task so we could have some background knowledge as we read the book. We had to pick two topics to make a poster about, I chose phytoplankton and deep water pressure. You can see my posters below.
A task that I didn't enjoy was Typing Club. The only reason I didn't like it is because I'm so used to typing normally and it was very hard for me to keep my fingers on the keys!
Last week I had no blockers for my learning because we have all been put on set tables, and last week I found our table really good and I didn't get distracted by anyone.
My goal for this week is to try to complete my Write That Essay to a good standard because sometimes I find it hard writing about topics given to me.

Acid Rain

This week in class we had to write about an environmental issue. I chose to write about acid rain because I found it interesting.


 

budget task

In my class Lh1 our term 4 focus is money. We have a new system in Lh1 called Banquer.  On banquer we get paid Banquer dollars for tasks we do, and we can use our money to buy seats and beanbags. We had to do a task on budgets, here is mine.

marakai results !

hi :)
As you may have seen from my previous blog post, my friend Hana and I were in a cooking competition. It was held at Gisborne Intermediate, and we competed against all the other schools in Gisborne, up to Intermediate. It was lots of fun and we really enjoyed it! There were some other amazing dishes! We made Chicken and Bok Choy Gyozas, with Nori Miso Soup and lemongrass infused dipping sauce. Gyozas is the Japanese word for our dish. Our dish was Japanese themed. Here is a photo below. We came first for our main dish and got the most independent workers.

Marakai Competition

Hi!
Recently my friend Hana and I were in a school cooking competition together. The competition was called The Marakai Competition. Marakai means 'Garden' in Maori. The winners would go on to the regional competition. We made chicken and bok choy gyozas, with nori miso soup and lemongrass infused dipping sauce. Luckily, we won!! We were so happy and tomorrow is the regional competition which will be held at Gisborne Intermediate.
