14 Smooth grooves

14 Smooth Grooves

"Any suggestions for the week well the year sixes are gone?"

That's when it all started. We had thought of making smoothies.

When we reached week seven, this Monday, the moment the year sixes 

left, we all rushed into the classroom to choose smoothie buddies. I was with Aria. 

As you probably know, my name is Dune...

We wanted to make a sweet smoothie, so we called our smoothie The sweet DNA. .

Do you get it? D'n'A?

The other groups were called Berry Breeze, Purple Sunrise, Fruit Punch and Paradise 

Fruit smoothie.

Tuesday was our organizing day. The day we made our recipes, drew pictures of what we

 predicted it would look like and agreed what we were gonna bring for our smoothies from home.

Wednesday was our action day, the day we made our drinks. 

First we gathered all our ingredients and materials and put them on a plate like this;

Then we headed to the room in the middle of the class and filmed a video.

Back To School 2021

 Back To School 2021

By Dune

As School starts in 2021 we have already done quite a lot.

We did a walk your pepeha week, which we still haven't finished, we still need to go to our Marae. We are going to get that done today, but luckily we don't have to walk all the way there because it's in town. 

Here in New Zealand most people or schools have there own pepeha. A Pepeha includes a Marae, ( a cultural house ) A maunga, ( A hill or mountain ) and an awa ( a river ).

Here are some photos of what we did-

We also have done some art.

 We wrote 2021 in chunky numbers and then inside of the numbers we drew what we predicted the year would look like. We also drew stuff about ourselves, what we like and what we do. This is what it looks like-

At the very start of the term we also coloured in a mandala and wrote our goals on it. We also drew our family and friends. Photo-

  

In writing we have been doing persuasive writing

For math, we have done IXL math or khan academy.

Thats how our year has gone so far. Later on in the year I can share more of my learning.

Fridays Earthquake

 Fridays Earthquake

Mum wakes me up and says; "Get out of bed Dune, there's an earthquake!" I can't believe I sleeped though that. We headed up the hill as fast as we could...

On Friday very early in the morning, there was a strong earthquake that nearly lead us into a tsunami. I was too panicky to go to school, because where I learn, its right next to the beach.

... When we felt safe, we drove back home and fell back to sleep.

It was quite a boring day. We spent most of our time watching the news to see what we could do, and heard that a small tsunami hit Tokomaru bay. Here is an image to prove it:

We then, went up the hill again and watched over the ocean to see if we were safe...

About an hour later all the warnings were canceled and we could go back to the beach. I didn't feel scared anymore, I felt relieved.
