Big day out for Te Kinga

 On the 7th of December Te Kinga class went to the lake for a day out. We first went to the Velinski track and when we got to the end of the track and Kaelyn was missing and so we went back up and yelled out her name, then we heard her whistle and we ran towards her and found her lying on the seat and she was shivering. Nic said "where is Kaelyn's group?" and Blake and Leo popped out of the crowd and then she said to help her. Then we remembered what we had learned the day before. Nic was teaching us first aid 101 and she taught us a heap of stuff about accidents that can happen. The boys tried everything to help Kaelyn stay 'alive' but they didn't manage to keep her alive, she died of hypothermia and then Nic said what they should've done. Then we went on to the Arnold river track and Tara and Jimi were the next victims of an injury. Their group managed to keep them alive, apart from Jimi's 'broken arm' they were fine. Next we went to the beach and my group's victim, Morgan, cut her hand and it was 'bleeding' a lot. We kept her alive and stopped the 'bleeding'. We built huts with a tarp as the roof and it had to be water proof and Alice poured a bucket of water on the top and our tent had HOLES IN IT!!! I got soaked because Uriah tipped the puddle on top of the tent all over me when I got out. We made fires and had marshmallows and smores. I helped start Kaelyn's group's fire because they couldn't get it started. When we were about to go back to school we said what our favourite part of the year was and I said the first day because this was the best year of my life.

Art smart

Last week for art smart we had to take photos of things outside with water included then add filters to make them look better. 

What would you like to photograph?

Here are my photos

 

Logic smart

 Today for topic my group did logic smart. We were looking at bridges, and we had to make our own bridge out of Popsicle sticks, modelling clay, pipe-cleaners, little sticks and PVA glue. The bridge had to be at least 30 cm long and be able to hold a toy truck.

Here is the end product:

What I am looking forward to in Term 2

I am really looking forward to all of the sports events that we are doing this term, especially Cross country, because I love running. 

Te Kinga's walk up Te Kinga

In week 10 of term 1 my class, Te Kinga, walked up Mt Te Kinga. We went to the 3rd lookout. I was at the front with my teacher and she kept falling over. When we came back down we lit fires on the beach and ate marshmallows. It was a fun day and I hope to do it again. Te Kinga is my favourite mountain in the world. What is your favourite mountain?

My favourite sentence in my natural disaster story.

Last week my class wrote a narrative about natural disasters. My story was about a landslide and a tsunami. My favourite sentence in my story was "Nic, my teacher, would not stop blabbering and waffling on and on about geology and science and blah blah BLAH!"

Sports in term 1

 In Term 1 my school had a lot of sports events like athletics, swimming sports and Top Team. I did all the events in athletics and I believe that everyone else should have done the same because sport is very important for learning and it also keeps you fit and healthy. The Top Team challenges were great because in team sports you have to communicate with others. Here are some photos of the Lake Brunner students in the sports and some students cheering them on. (Lake Brunner has been the loudest cheerers in pretty much everything.)                            Skye Whetter in her 1000m race
