E.O.T.C (Education Outside The Classroom) Week.

E.O.T.C week is education outside the classroom week.  E.O.T.C week is where the trusted trekkers pick fun things for the year 5 and 6's to do or go to, the year 4's can also join in but only one day.  This year we went surfing and body boarding on Thursday, we went to Adrenaline Forest on Friday, we were going to go sailing on Monday but it was raining so it was canceled and on Tuesday we went to mega air and we did a fun challenge called top team.  Top team was at school and we got into groups then we started doing lots of different challenges against different groups.

In Mega Air we were jumping on lots of trampolines, and there was a foam pit in mega air, I learnt a cool trick on one of the trampolines, the trick was jumping from one platform onto a trampoline, then onto another platform in one jump, the platforms were a bit far away.  Mega air's rules were, no diving headfirst, no double or triple flips, remove all socks, shoes and jewelry, no phones or cameras while bouncing, take all photos from the walkways, no food or drinks on the trampolines, walk, don't run, don't jump on the pads, land on two feet, and always jump in the center of the trampolines.

If you can't jump onto a platform, you can't jump off, watch out for other jumpers, especially children, don't run in front of other jumpers, follow the jump guards instructions or you will be asked to leave, no hanging from the basketball hoops and bounce to your ability.  At Adrenaline Forest we got to climb up trees with clippers so we were safe, there was lots of challenges for us because sometimes the clippers got stuck and we couldn't pull them off so it took awhile.  I hope you enjoy some of these photos because I enjoyed everything in E.O.T.C week.

I have made a slide about onomatopoeia from comics, I have heard some of these noises from comics but I will be making new sounds for them.  In the past few weeks I have been learning about comics and onomatopoeia is in lots of different types of comics so, my teacher has assigned me to find noises of different things and then, record the noises then write what I thought they sounded like.  But there is a twist, I had to search and see if those words existed, and if they already did exist, then I couldn't use them.  I hope you enjoy.

My Fiji Presentation.

I have been learning about Fiji and I have made a presentation about, Fiji that I would like to share with everyone.  I really enjoyed making this because I have learned new things about Fiji, but it was a bit challenging because I had to get a lot of information and remember some of it.  I hope you enjoy my presentation.

W.A.L.T Find A Fraction In A Number.

I made a video about how to solve fractions and how to find a fraction in a number.  I hope you enjoy.

The Lie.

I have written a poem about lies I have heard about myself.  I hope you enjoy it.

Today's Earthquake.

Today's earthquake was frightening.  The earthquake was in some of the north island and the south island of New Zealand, the earthquake started at midnight.  The earthquake was a 7.5.

All the students are safe at school now but some people are at home.  When an earthquake happens, get away from windows or anything that can fall on you, go under a table, act like a turtle and protect your head.  Earthquakes can make you dizzy, so try to hold onto something.  When the earthquake happened I felt like I was really dizzy but I wasn't dizzy enough to be knocked over and all I could hear was the door creaking and it sounded like fireworks, but I don't know why.

My Persuasive Story About Sushi.

Did you know that there are different kinds of sushi? The types of sushi I enjoy eating are, Inari sushi, Rolled sushi, and Sushi balls. You might have had different kinds of sushi but it is good to try them all!  Sushi is my favourite food!  These are my reasons why you should eat sushi as well!!!

Sushi doesn’t have much sugar or fat in it, so it is really healthy to eat!  Another reason why sushi is really healthy is because you can put fruits, vegetables, and other healthy things inside it!  Sushi is healthy because, the rice in it is healthy and it makes people full so it can last awhile if you have a lot, of sushi!

Sushi tastes delicious and nutritious because all the healthy food inside sushi and it makes sushi a long-lasting food!  Sushi smells delicious and amazing because the food inside sushi make it smell nutritious.  Sushi looks apptizing because of all the delectable, nutritious, yummy food inside it!

There are different types of sushi that are delicious to eat and amazingly nutritious, such as, uramaki and temaki, uramaki is sushi with rice on the outside, temaki is sushi hand-rolled into a cone shape!  Sushi is really easy to make, you can make it at your own house!  Also, sushi can be sold cheap so it won’t cost a lot of money!!!
