Wellington Post # 2

Last week Rimu class went to Wellington for their 2015 camp. It was really exciting and very amazing that Rimu is able to travel on a train, boat and an aeroplane. Throughout this blog I will be taking you through our Rimu journey on our adventure to Wellington.

It all started on the 23rd of November. Rimu were about to hop on a train to Piction! 

    Emily and I on the train at 7:40 a.m

                                                                 Jack's amazing photo

                                                                 Logan and Josh awesome selfie

                                                             Katie sleeping on the train

Finally after 5 hours of sitting around and talking to our friends it was time to get on a boat to ride the waves all the way to the capital. :)

Wellington Post:)

Here is the video or news for today by class also know as Seven Blunt.

Hope you enjoy and there will be more photos and video coming soon in my blog:)

Parris Goebel

Over the last two terms Rimu Class has been working on something called Genius Hour.

We all decided on a topic to present for the class. I have chosen Parris Goebel who is a dance sensation.

In this google slide I will be taking you through her journey of dance and how she became famous.

I hope you enjoy the google slide and make sure you comment which slide was your favourite.

  

  

Whose Your Favourite Artist?

Over the last term Rimu Class has been working on painting our own canvas, so to give us some  inspiration we all chose a NZ artist . I chose Amanda Cass because I really enjoy looking at her paintings because her painting are never the same. Also Amanda Cass is a self taught painter and also a photographer.

I hope you enjoy the Google slide and make sure you comment who your favourite artist is.

I WANT THAT TOY!

"Come on holly it is time to leave the toy shop" commanded holly's mum. "But I want it so bad!why are you not a nice mum and just spend money on me like Rico's mum" barked holly! Do you see what I mean? Holly is just a cry baby! And when she sees something that she really really wants she will cry and cry and cry and cry. She just wouldn't stop crying until you give it to her. And that is why I never ever want to go to the shop with her ever again!!

My Long Jump!

My class has been videoing our long jump. Before we put up our video we had to analyse an expert at long jump. Here is my long jump in slow motion.

Tip 1: Make sure that I jump on the same place every time on the mat.
Tip 2: Try and get a good run up before I start sprinting.
Tip 3: Go from horizontal to vertical in the flight.
Tip 3: I am going to work on my flight and this is especially throwing my hips and arms forward to get more air time. This will hopefully improve my jump.

100WC + Icky Sticky Bubble Gum

For this week's 1000wc I had to write about  a prompt the prompt was   ..It Felt Like..
I hope you enjoy it.



There was a factory that made bubble gum. The factory was called Icky Sticky Bubble Gum. There was also a song that went along with the company. " Icky sticky bubble gum bubble gum bubble gum icky sticky bubble gum and pop like this". Ok so now that you know that their product has a catchy tune to it, you now need to know that, when you bite into the bubble gum you get a  bad feeling! It feels like a snail traveling across  your feet.. I know it may seem crazy; but it is really funny to see people's  reactions .

My School Holiday

This school holiday I had lots of fun with my family. Going to the beach, watching movies and hanging out with my friends and having sleepovers.

In the school holiday I watches lots of movies with my friends and family. Here is a list of just some of the movies that I watched.

1. The Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes.
2. The Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes.
3. A Second Chance
4. Born To Dance 2 times
5. Everest
6. Descendants the disney. I've watched this movie like 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000  times because My little sister loves that movie.


I also went to the swimming pool with my friends I really like swimming because you have races with your friends and see who can hold their breath under water and just saying i always win :):)

The best part of the school holidays was spending time with my family and playing outside with my friends and having a blast before we have to back to school:)

100wc + Teddy Bears In A Car!

For this week's 100wc we had to write about Teddy bears in a car ???? What is that post to be about you might think bit let me tell you about the story....

100wc 

There once was a family of bears. There was a father a mother and two twin girls, they were going to buy a new car. Once they got up to the place, they were very unhappy because they had to pay $50 each just to get in the building, let alone having to pay for a new car. Once they found the right car,  they were about to go and talk to the person about the car when it was sadly sold to some polar bears that needed to drive back to the snow? So the bears just gave up.

My Timetable

Over the last term Rimu have been following a timetable and now we have finished and this is what it looks like. Pl means personalised learning. Green: I worked to my highest standard and/or I achieved what I set out to do 
Orange: I worked to a good standard and/or mostly achieved what was intended.
Red: I found it hard to stay focused and/or I didn't achieve what I aimed to.
I  hope you enjoy and comment if you liked seeing what I have done :)

Here Is My 100wc/ Chloe:)

The Story is The Crazy bowl.

My Speech

My speech is about why women care too much about their appearance.
I choose this topic because I know a lot of people who say they are too big or really do not like what they look like. So I decided to write a reason so women don't feel so bad about their appearance and what they pay is crazy.

How To Write A Quality Blog Comment

                   
                           



 

Writing a Quality Blog Comments

We re learning to write a quality blog comment.

Digi Awards :)

Emily and I made an iMovie about teachers for Digi Awards. Here is the criteria for Movie Making.
Here is what we needed to do: 

Movie Making: Make a movie that celebrates your everyday hero and holds the audience’s attention from beginning to end. Your movie, documentary, report, or digital story should be no more than 3 minutes and demonstrate excellent camera-work, editing, dialogue or narration, plus background music that enhance the story.

Emily and I made this video in at least 5 weeks so it was worth it and we hope you like it. Also Emily and I had also made a Pic Collage but we decided that we wanted to make an Imovie instead.

The most challenging thing for me was making sure everything was all made into the movie and no mistakes.

I learnt that you can put lots and lots of music into iMovie because before I only could have one song. I am so smart right :) Leave a comment if you knew how to do that before.

If I did it again I would have different music in the iMovie as we only used one song. I would've used more.

Facing The Mountain!

On Friday 28th of August the Year 4-8 students went on a ski trip to Mt Hutt.
My dad came skiing too but he went snowboarding. :)

At the ski trip I learnt that a lot of people can ski and snowboard in my class really well and it is really easy to fall over if you turn too hard and fast.

I learnt that I only fall over when I am standing up and not moving as opposed to when I am skiing. :)
Now that is really weird!


I found standing up was the hardest thing for me to do because I had no balance at all since people came and skied over my skis.


The funniest thing that happened was the bus breaking down and Emily, my Dad and I, had to take Logan and Asher up the mountain!

When we finally got home Dad and I looked at the footage on the go pro and all you can see is Dad crashing and him saying ouch ouch when he face planted in the snow:)

I think we are now going back to Mt Hutt this weekend. Maybe the family or just Dad and I!

Yesterday, on Thursday 23rd July, we returned to our third term of Manual at Lincoln Primary. This Term I am in Food technology and my teacher is Mrs Scott. 

I am in a group with Emily and Claudia. The first thing we made was a toasty cup:) In my toasty cup I had bacon and cheese - yummy.
They were very nice, I even gave Miss Blair some to try and Miss Blair and she thought it was delicious:) After break we made gingerbread cookies they were so nice and I only have two left.
