🛹skateboarding🛹

Hello everybody! Welcome back to my blog! Last week we did some skateboarding. First we did some balance practice. We had to bend down and touch the tip of the skateboard. Then we practiced some willie flips. You do them by putting the skateboard upside down on your feet and jump up and land on your skateboard. I can do a backward willie flip, a front 360 degree flip and a front willie flip. Next we did some tik-tacs. It is when you lean on the back of the skate boards nose comes into the air. Then you lean to the side and the skateboards tip moves in that direction. We had some free time at the end and I thought it was really fun. I learned lot

 of new tricks and tips. Blog ya later!

Production (jasmine and Aladdin)

Production (took place in week 4)

 Hello everybody! welcome back to my blog! Last week, the production took place. We were practising the production for 11-12 weeks and finally pulled it off 3 times in week 4 term 4. The production is called Jasmine and Aladdin. It may have been very hard to do but it was REALLY fun and exiting. At the end of the production we had to dance. We danced to R.E.S.P.E.C.T. It was super fun. I am professor Quadratic in the play and I think I did my Lines with lots of expression and did them pretty loud. Thank you for reading my blog and here are some pictures: 

 Katie's persuasive writing

Wonder project

 Welcome back to my blog everybody! today is the last day of school in week three term four. On Wednesday, we tested the rockets we had been working on. What happened is q visitor named sihang came in at week 5 or 6 of term 3 and started to teach us rocket safety. we went home for lockdown postponing our lessons. we learned all about rockets and newton's laws. last week, we started to develop our rockets. to make our rocket, we took a bottle and cut the top of another bottle off and glued it onto the first bottle. It looked like this:

after we had the basics, we could decorate the rocket.

It was cool.

Maori comic strips

 Hello everybody! This week, my highlight is making comic strips. All we had to do was make a comic strip. But here's the catch: It had to be in Maori. Mine started as me meeting Jeff and saying hi. Next, Jeff says Hi and asks my name. I say Tristan and ask him his name. He says Jeff, but then says just kidding and turns into Sans from undertale. He destroys me and my soul floats away(in the next part!). I will put Part one in:

I finished that one early, so I started to make another part. First my soul floats out of my body and goes to just shapes and beats land. A neutral person stabs himself with a magical triangle and turns bad. He tries to destroy you. Eventually, he hits himself which destroys him. I will put in part two:

In part three, I turn into a monster chilli and rampage.  click on picture for link.

I made another comic and will add it later. keep coming back to check if there is a new one. Hope you like my blog! Blog ya later! -Tristan

11.9.20

 Hello everybody! Welcome back to my blog. We did so much this week! I need to tell you about some of it. First, we played basketball. We were taught by Ronan and Mikey. I had a lot of fun in the ten second game. What we had to do, is steal the ball from the defending person and keep it for 10 seconds. Inside the circle, you can run freely, but if you go outside the circle, You have to give the attacker the ball. Next, we did some film festival. In that, we build a film on Imovie and put it into a competition. They all get put into a theatre, and this years theme was kindness. This morning, we did a kahoot about the Tongan islands week. I came 56 because the internet crashed. Check out some more on my blog, Blog ya later! -Tristan

First week back at school! (after lockdown.)

This week was the first week back at school! (after lockdown.) We did so much, like practice for production practice, film festive and more! First, I want to tell you about my recipe. Please try it! What we had to do, is make a recipe (or copy a recipe) and write it down. I put in a milkshake recipe, which I really like, and made a cool little slide. It is only one slide long, but it the recipe is delicious.


If you want to get it bigger, here is the link: Milkshake
We also Did something called film fest. It is when we make a 3 minute long film, and add sound effects and stuff. There is a contest of who's video is the best, and there are many schools involved. 

Friday 7th august

It's Friday again!

This week was packed with all sorts of fun activities and other cool work, such as
tennis, wonder project and more! First of all, I will start with... 
 Production practice. At school, we are making a play. 
Each student has his/her own part in the play. My part is professor quadratic.
I have 2 lines, and would have preferred a couple more lines, or no lines, but I really like my part.
Next I will tell you about... Wonder Project! At school, we have an ambassador named Sihang coming in
 to teach us how to build a Rocket. so far, we are on module 2. (A.K.A unpack the rocket and safety.)
Now I will talk about... Cross country. Guess what? I got into cross country zones! 
my place in cross country in the school is 5th place, and the top 5 people in year 4, 5 and 6 got in.
Finally i will talk about tennis. We had tennis lessons on Wednesday and I was really bad at it. We had 
lots of tasks such as bouncing the ball around the court and bouncing the ball to each other.
Hope you like my post! Blog ya later! -Tristan 

Matriki day

Yesterday was matariki day. It was so fun. We did so much stuff!(we did 3 things.)
First,

 We made some matariki kites.

You need bamboo strips, paper and feathers. 

We made a base with the bamboo and then made a punch of paper patterned and put it on the base. 

Next, we went to bake some bread. 

First you get some water, next you get some self raising flour.

After that you mix it and put in a bunch of cooking oil.

After that, we went to do some stop motion.

We had to make it about a maori story. 

My story was mori and the sun.

Cross Country!

Cross Country Wk 12

O.M.G! Yesterday was cross country! We did lots of games activities and more.

10:00, we headed off toward the chill station. 

there, we played on the playground. on the playground, we played cheat.

Next, at 11:00, we went to play tennis. me and marcus hit the ball to each other a total of 115 times!!!!

soon, at 12:00, we went over to the handball place.

I played handball with marcus and nigel.

I think this part was my fave.

after, at 1:00, we played something called blindfold. 

you buddy up and one of you puts on a blindfold.

then, you guide your partner to a bean bag that is on the floor and you have to tell them to pick it up. 

if you touch a hula hoop, you have to go back to the beginning.

after some of that, we went to the 5 place, where we sit and watch cross country. 

(we did races in order from 0/1 2 3 4 5 6.) we watched and cheered for the passersbys. 

I think this was kinda boring, but next, was our race!

soon, we were at our last station! lining up on the start line waiting for the signal.

Bang! we were off, with Daiki running past us all, I dropped down to about 4th place.

 after my first lap of the school, I was almost dead. halfway around the second lap, I was close on TJ's heels. we were rounding the last corner, i put in my last bit of energy, but TJ came 3 and I came 4th.

I am the one with the yellow t-shirt.

Reading Week 10

This week, we did lots of reading. 

some of our reading was our work site, called the syndicate site. 

we have our maths, reading, cybersmart and writing.

on our reading site, we have 4 activities, which change every week, 

if you are wondering there are 5 days of school, 

and only 4 activities, we go with the teacher and read 1-2 times a week.
sometimes, we get a youtube video, 

or sometimes we get a kahoot.

we have a lot to do during the week, and if we finish early, we use fast finishers.

a fast finisher is something that we do when we finish early, 

some of them are wonderopolis, kiwi kids news, national geographics and wicked.

One activity from this week that I did was a youtube video on the site.

(click on youtube to veiw!) it is about racism. A girl who is african american is talking about how racism is not ok. sometimes people are really mean to people with dark skin. Others don't let darker people

get a job or make them pay more money for food. it is really harsh and it is getting worse in other

countries. A little while ago, a African American was killed by a European because they had different races. The girl on the youtube video also talked about her ancestors being criticized as well.

lockdown diary

                                                My lockdown diary

Lockdown started on 24th of March and ended on the 18th May. A really long time.

Lockdown started when somebody was bitten by a bat. (or we think it was a bat!) When the bite happened, the person caught a virus called Covid-19. This happened in China. Soon Covid was all over China and not so long after it was all over the World! This virus caused an outbreak and everybody had to go and stay in their home. Most people knows about lockdown. But not many people know what others have done during lockdown...

What I did for lockdown is... Well I guess I played a lot of video games and played in my back yard a ton, but I still thought lockdown is really boring. it was until my online schooling started. It took up most of my time. As lockdown progressed, we started to do something called lockdown diary. My lockdown diary is a cool slideshow that I can record and do work that my teacher set me. We do it because it will help us remember the pandemic in 2020 of coronavirus. I enjoyed doing some of the slides like the blank to write anything slide. I wrote about minecraft. I also enjoyed the slide that I have to insert pictures of my family because I got some funny pictures. I did not enjoy writing a poem because I did not know what to write but then Ari my friend said I could list stuff about him.

Here is my slide show!!!

First week back at school! post lock down week 6

Awesome! first week back at school!!!

    Today is the first week back at school!

Me and Ari have already played with each other.

When we came back to school we did something called lockdown creations.

We record the work we have done.

Here is the slideshow to show you my work.

Lockdown

Hey guys, right now I am stuck at home going crazy in my room. Due to Coronavirus, every body is stuck in their houses doing stuff. In the past 5 days, I have made and done a lot of stuff I could not do while I was at school. here, I'll show you some. we did some amazing art. It took a while but we found stuff to paint on such as bricks canvases and paper. We also played settlers of Catan. (a really good game.)You are trying to get ten victory points to win the game. Build houses and citys to get victory points. Next, we played with our Lego for like 3 hours. Katie was building a city while i was building an army base. Look to the right side of my blog post to see some pictures. Then we made some forts. They were ginormous! One of them was made out of bamboo. We were working for 1 hour to make the bamboo fort. The other fort was connecting me and my sisters room together. Every morning we go on a 30 minute walk down to the dog park or the playground. We don't
play on the playground but we do climb the trees. My Favourite tree is one that is
super high and has lots of branches. Everyday me and my sisters go out side and play bus. Bus is a game where one person is in a chair which is connected to a rope. This person is the bus driver. The other person stands on a tree and tries to get on the chair. Once the other person
 is on the driver of the bus tries to shake the other person off.

Hope you guys are okay during self-isolation, see you soon!

Cameron pools

                                            Cameron pools

Hey guys! in the past three weeks, we have been visiting our local pool, Cameron pools. We go every Tuesday and Thursday. When we get there we split up and go into our groups, different groups go into different pools. Sometimes we all get together and do something in the large pool. Recently we gathered and used life jackets and a big life boat, here are some pictures: 

 We practised dropping off the boat, forming a chain, and huddling to keep warm. It was awesome!

portraits!

                              2020  portraits
Hey guys, welcome to my second post! Today I would like to tell you about my portrait! To start we sketched a picture on paper, it was all of our face. Then we went into our art books and sketched another face - but we sketched only half a face with a lot of detail, we then made the face we sketched in our art book look like it was from another decade. then we coloured it in partly and planned a background. finally we got our final paper and started to paint a final back ground. Then we got our photos and put them on the picture.
After we put dye on the other side and sketched ourselves in another decade. All we had to do now is colour it in. In this picture represent the four type of photos: paint dye, photo and colour pencil.
                               
                                               here is my picture, it is not done, but hope you enjoy! 😊
