Last Friday we had our wacky Olympic Games on the 19th August 2016.the wacky Olympic Games is a fun eventful kids version of the Olympics. Our Olympics has discus,straw javelin and coin toss. We supported Swaziland as our country and we broke their world record for most players competing and most medals won by cheering on for Swaziland we said Swaziland Dab,dab,dab. We won 2 medals for Coin toss and paper plate discus 1 gold and 1 bronze. we had to vote for who was going to be the flag bearer and the torch runner for our class. our winners were Niketa,Niall and Ayesha. And that was the fun eventful Olympics.

Clay Sculpture Reflection

1. The sculpture I am creating is a koru. To represent the Maori culture.

2.The title of my sculpture is called the koru of life.

3. I have enjoyed getting my hands messy in the clay and and making my sculpture.

4. The hardest part for me was trying to make the koru to stand up free standing and stop it from cracking.

Flox

We have been studying about a New Zealand artist named Flox. Flox's real name is Hayley Kingston.  We have been studying flox because she came to Hamilton to do a special Spray paint mural. Flox's  main paintings are about nature and birds.

Team building at karapiro

1.On Tuesday we went to our EOTC trip as in our Karapiro trip. You are probably wondering what EOTC means it means education outside the classroom we went to Karapiro because we we're learning to Kayak and build a raft but we mostly went there to have fun.

2. The activity I liked the most was archery because I got 1 bullseye and 3 shots so close to bullseye. I felt proud of myself when I got a bullseye.

3. The most challenging activity for me was kayaking because I had to use lots of strength.

4.The person who helped me was the person who was teaching us how to ride kayaks and I said this is hard but he said "no you can do it just use your strength".

5.I learnt that when you try hard you get good achievements and when you collaborate you get same achievements.

Assembly Reflections

Our assembly was last week on Friday there were parents and children and younger siblings at our assembly. At our assembly we shared our falling art work and our selfie writing we also had a dance and we had two skits about collaboration. My favourite thing about the assembly was the dance and sharing my art work because I thought it was a fun thing to do I would change our selfie writing for another song.

EOY Reflection

My time at Vardon has been very appreciated because I have made lots of friends and I had lots of teachers to have i went from junior to middle to senior. My favourite thing is athletics because I am really good at high jump. The most challenging part of this year is coming in to Rm14.

Dream Job Competition

Our classroom RM 14 has been doing a dream job competition. this is what we had to do first we had to do is write a story about a job. any job you want but you have to make sure the job is made up from you my job is when you can create land you are wondering how do you make the land ? well this is how first you draw the land and then you copy it in to the magical wonder land machine then you paste it and then you have created land that's cool right.

School Pool

I think that the School pool should be demolished because if we fix some years later we will have to pay for it again you are probably thinking how much it is. I will tell you how much it costs it costs $60,000 dollars so if we demolish it we can just make something else like a playground or another classroom or a library.That is what I think.

Fruit kebabs

For fruit kebabs we had to get into groups to choose your fruit.Once you have got into your groups you sort out a fruit you would like to bring you could bring any fruit like grapes strawberries apples and oranges once we have sorted out our fruit that we are going to bring the day after that we bring our fruit to finally make our kebabs we share out the fruit to put on your kebabs and we each got a marshmallow with chocolate sauce on our kebabs.The favourite part I liked was eating the kebabs.

My Habitat Box

A habitat box is a box that we made into a animals habitat say a Rhino. My habitat box shows a Rhino with where it sleeps and where it eats and also what its scared of.The hardest thing of my habitat box was me making a rhino with to cotton balls and and ear buds. because it is hard to get the ear buds in the right shape for the rhinos horn. The part I really liked about my habitat box was my hand made rhino and leopard and the things I bought from the two dollar shop from the centre place and I also liked my background.

Production 2015

For the production I was in the South African group.We did the gumboot dance and a song called the lion sleeps tonight. For the production my favourite thing was the Filipino pictures behind a sheet.My suggestions for the production was we should all have the same actions but we do it different ways for the south African group.My favourite group out of all of them was the Irish group because I really liked the Irish dancing and the costumes.

School Production

For the production I'm in the south African group. I performed to do the gumboot dance. But for the in the jungle song I am a rhino. The south African group does the gumboot dance first and then we do a song called in the jungle. If you were wondering a gumboot dance is a native dance that south African people did to protest it is now often performed at welcoming ceremonies. I am most nervous about the show tonight because it is hard for me to do.

Friendship Boxes

Friendship boxes are boxes to write notes. in by the end of the term everyone should have a note from everyone in this class we only write good notes not bad notes for example To Jack for being an awesome friend From Kaspar. These friendship boxes are used for writing friendship notes to each other for this term. So we get to have more friends in this class. We have made these for we are learning to make friends and how to keep them. I found tricky folding the actual box.
