Blog post Record - By Hajera

Today, we were working on our blog post Record. We made a chart to show how much blog post we have done, and I did not post that much on my blog. My amount got lower as my year group went higher and in 2015 I was done good but 2016 and 2017 I cant say the same about that. 2018 we just got started school so I just have 2 blog post on my blog. I did not post that much on my blog at 2017 because my chrome book needed to be fixed.

Our focus this week was myths and legends. Today we have been creating a cartoon image of how Maui (Maori God) slowed down the sun using his hook.  Our task was to create an image showing how Maui slowed down the sun with the help of his brothers.  My partner Miki and I collaborated together to complete the task given to us by our teacher.

The thing that we found easy about the movie was that we had the confident's to make the movie and get it finish with out mucking it up when we needed to get it finish. 

5 - 7 - 10 Writing

Today we did the 5-7-10 activity for writing to describe the worst mistake we have ever made. We had to write for 5 minutes, share what we had written with a buddy for 7 minutes, and then carry on writing for another 10 minutes.

Miki's worst mistake ever...

Let me tell you about my worst mistake in my old school. At the school teachers told us to draw the paint on the wall but I accidentally painted the window. My teacher told me to get the paint off so I tried to get the paint off the window, but the paint was very hard and wouldn’t come off. The next day there was no paint on the window so I asked my teacher where it was. My teacher said “I cleaned it up last night.”

I told my teacher I was sorry for painting on the window and said thank you for cleaning the window. When I saw it was ok my body is stopped shaking because I thought I needed to buy a new window!

Nickaela's worst mistake ever...

Let me tell you about the worst mistake I have ever made. One day when I was at my my old school we had our weekly assembly. My teacher told me it was important that we weren’t late because it was our Values assembly. We lined up outside our classroom and walked over to the hall.  

Soon the principal was calling kids on to the stage to get their certificates. I heard my name, ‘...ickaela,’ I felt so happy. I ran to the stage, my face full of excitement and a big smile, only to hear the words, “I said Mickaela not Nickaela. Please get off the stage!” I felt so embarrassed my smile disappeared very quickly. I felt my heart beating a lot slower than when I climbed up the stairs. I heard lots of laughter and saw lots of fingers pointing at me. I felt so humiliated as I turned around and ran back down the stairs.

I walked back as fast as I could to my seat and covered my head with my jersey. I just didn’t want anyone to see me. Now I try really hard to listen carefully because I really know that mistakes can happen when you are not listening carefully.

Hajera's worst mistake ever...

Let me tell you about  the worst mistake I have made at home.  One day my dad just come for work he had an Samsung Galaxy Note 5+ in is hand. It was new and inside the pack. I was in my room. When he got inside he called me so I went to him. I almost fainted when I saw the Samsung Galaxy Note 5+ when he said it was my one! I felt so happy, it was as if I was going to Paris. But then two weeks later I went outside with my phone. It was in my hand the whole time. Then when my mum called me to come in inside I ran to the house and the phone slipped out of my hands and fell on the ground. I was as worried as if I was cat that did not want to go to the vet. I had no idea what to do. It was so scary and then I had to tell him. Sadly now I am not getting a phone until I am year 8 and it's going to be an iphone 6+. My sister has one but I don’t. It was my worst mistake ever and it wouldn’t have happened if i had an screen protector.

Archery fun... by Hajera

As my cheeks got red like a cherry I was about to explode with excitement. I couldn’t believe I was about to do archery. As each arrow flew the kids were got louder and louder.

Now it was my turn. I picked up the bow and I got the arrow and put it in place. I felt nervous. It was time to let it go. As I let my hands were shaking as it released. A big smile came on my face because I got it on the board!

On my second try I could feel the pressure around me. I then let go of the string. Sadly my arrow landed on the grass. On my last arrow I pulled the string towards me. I was scared I wouldn’t get it but my face had a bigger smile than before. I safely landed it near the board. I was quite proud of myself.

As I finished off this activity I felt like doing it again. Pulling my sleeve up I saw a mark, was it a bruise?

This is my recount of the fun time I had at archery.
