Kensuke's Kingdom review

The past three months, we have been reading a book called Kensukes Kingdom.  Here is the review.

Forces and motion DLO

 Last week, on Wwednesday, we had a forces and motion day-Topana and neke. On this day we learnt new cool things about forces and motion. We had to change stations during the day, I went to static electricity, shantytown and frisbys.

After that comma we created DLOs about the three activities that we completed. 

 

I found the  frisbys fun because you got to colour them in and they always come back to you.

digital technology matariki project-blubots and QR code

For matariki we have been learning about the stars. We made a special blubot mat. On the mat we had QR codes and when you scanned them you learnt about the stars on them. The kids had to code the bluebots to get to the QR codes. We learnt that there are nine stars in the cluster and that each star has its own name and something that it is connected to something like the weather, sea, wishes, trees or celebrating.

T-Shaped Reading Unit- Journeys

Write answers to these questions after you have read each text.

These words may help you to reflect on kinds of journeys:  journey, quest, exploration, voyage, trip, trek, excursion, expedition, pilgrimage, mission.

	What kind of journey has taken place?   Explain.	What was the purpose of this journey?	What challenges did the character face?
Kensuke’s Kingdom	A voyage because it's a long journey out at sea.	They wanted a new experience, it would be fun and they had no jobs.	Sea sick , tiring, eating beans, he is not allowed any fires to send for help.
Iris and Dogstar	A voyage because it’s on sea	To go to Noumea the capital of New Caledonia	Hard to sleep,seasick and the adults are grumpy.
Tautai	He is going on a trip to Samoa and emotional journey.	To see his grandmother for her sixieth  birthday.	He got  teased about his name. It was his first time on a plane. His name was hard to pronounce.
Hine-o-te-rangi	Jean Batten went on an expedition to New Zealand because she wanted to be the first girl to fly somewhere by herself.	To be the first girl to fly a long way by herself .	She had to learn how to fly and one day she had to make an emergency landing because she ran out of oil!

The rhetorical question is :What else is out there ?

I interviewed four different people of all different ages, occupations and bubbles. Three lived in NZ and 1 lived in Australia. Australia has slightly different rules than New Zealand like how one of Australia's rules is that you are only allowed 2 visitors at a time whereas in New Zealand you are not allowed any visitors. Everyone's jobs were affected by covid 19 except my great Nana who is retired.
While some could work others were limited to what they could do.
 Everyone missed their family and friends but what I found out is that everyone had their positives and negatives so that means that sometimes being In lockdown can be a good thing but sometimes it can be a bad thing. I enjoyed interviewing my great Nana because she told me all about the polio epidemic and what sort of beds the people who were infected had to lay in. She remembered being 7 in lock down when the polio was going round.

Twenty Twenty Covid-19

Twenty twenty. Life is busy. People are busy. I am busy. I go from school to sport to home to homework to bed. 

We have forgotten how to slow down, we have forgotten how to look after ourselves. Take away meals, no time to exercise. No time to play games as a family. 

A virus from eating bats in China, or was it made in a lab?  Whatever it is, it has slowed down the whole word.

Today life is not busy, people are not busy, I am not busy. My family and I stay home and we learn, we laugh, we play, we bake and we exercise. 

We break the chain of Covid-19

Letter about lockdown

Dear Miss Robins 

This time four weeks ago my house would have been in rush mode. I would have been eating my
breakfast slowly while my Mum grumped at me to hurry and get dressed so she wasn't late for work.
Now our house is a bit more relaxed. Mum doesn't have work and it doesn't matter if my hair is brushed
or if I do my school work in my pjs. 

My dog Auggie loves having me home. She is going on lots of walks and getting heaps of cuddles but
she still gets into mischief.

I am enjoying spending time with my family. We get to bake, go on bike rides and play games. 

I miss my other family that is not in my bubble but I can still call them on skype or talk to them on the
home phone.

The most challenging thing being stuck at home is not being able to see my friends face to face and it is
really easy to get bored.

During this lockdown my favourite book so far has been Diary of a Whimpy Kid the ugly truth and my
favourite tv programe has been Itch.

One thing I have learnt is how to use a can opener to open a tin and how to kick butt in the game bat
down.

I have learnt we have some nice people in the community especially the supermarket workers who have
been working extra hard to leave their bubbles and put food on the shelves for us.

We get the easy job of staying home.

From Ilish

Autobiographical poem

Ilish
Sporty, energetic, weird, kind 
Sister of Will, daughter of Terance and Andrea
Who loves being around fluffy animals, friends and family
Who fells cheerful when playing sport,having fun and being near water
Who feels bubbly when at the beach, yawny when its past bed time, clean after a bath 
Who needs a robot to do my homework (because my dog doesn't eat it), a holiday anywhere but school, a clean room
Who gives laughter, feelings, kindness
Who shivers when sees an angry mum, big spiders and is in small spaces
 Who wants to see the whole world, Aliens, my grandad and uncle
 From Greymouth
 Faulkner
