Travelwise Celebration - Friday 9th November 2018 - The Cloud

Travelwise - The Cloud
 11/14/18

 On the 9th Travelwise went to The Cloud in Auckland City by the train station. The Cloud is on a wharf. There were thousands of students! Our school got Bronze - lots of other schools got a Bronze certificate too. If you have been to The Cloud you know what it is like/It is long!. In our group there were 12 people. If my mum didn't come only 6 people would be able to come. The people in our group was Hayley, Franki, Leslie, Teri-Rose, Amani-Grace, Telesia-June, Alayna, Taya, Trey & Olivet. Some of the senior students that went to camp but were in Travelwise were Jasonna, Ellie, Rajbir, Shayla, Jordana & Mia. At The Cloud Morning tea was provided which was 2 biscuits, 1 water bottle & 1 chip packet. Travelwise is free! There was a man on a bike-that you could ride on the road. Travelwise is all about Keeping Kids safe so if you are an adult or parent please slow down around schools. Photos to come...

Roti Making

Today Room 1 made roti with Diya's mum (Diya from Room 12) and Kirpal's mum (from Room 6 Hub). The students split into 2 groups and I sent Ryleigh and Hayley Rotherham over with their chromebooks to take some photos. I think the girls did a great job. Ryleigh thanks very much for creating this slideshow.
PS Everyone loved the potato roti - thanks very much.

Avatar Maker

Shayla, Emma, and Ellie from Kahikatea hub showed Room 1 how to create their own avatar and add cool text. Most of the students found this easy and lots of fun.

Replying to Comments

In this activity I was learning how to reply to blog comments. In this slideshow you will be able to find out for yourself what a reply must, should and could include. Please check out other student's blogs from Room 1's.

Quality Blog Comments

Anglea has been teaching us that blog comments need to be positive, thoughtful and helpful. Taya was the first to finish her comments on four student's blogs in our class. Check out the comments that she made on each of her four blog posts and make a comment. As soon as the rest of the class has completed their quality blog comments they will be uploaded to their blog also.

Taya's Speech - Bullying

Room 1, Room 2, Room 14, Room 12 and Room 11 have been performing poems and speeches in anticipation for our Speech and Poem Recital Week 2, Term 4, Wednesday at 11am. Everyone is welcome to attend. Here is one of Room 1's Year 4 speeches.  Great speech Taya.

 Speech Cards
 P.1 let’s go and punch her because she’s smart’’. ‘‘ let’s go put a kick me sign on her back like we did yesterday’’. Hi my name is Taya and I have one question for you Have you ever been bullied? Bullying is when you or a group repeatedly say or do things hurtful to another person.

P.2 Bullying is an unhealthy habit to get into because if your hurting a person it could damage their life. There are many types of bullying today I’m going to talk about four kinds of bullying. Cyber bullying, Physical bullying, Verbal bullying and social bullying.

P.3 Cyber bullying is when you can get hold of a strangers or a person you knows email or cell phone number and start writing and sending hurtful comments. Those comments can make a person feel bad about themselves.

P.4 Another type of bullying is physical bullying which is when you hurt another person on purpose. This includes kicking, hitting, spitting, tripping, pinching and even frightening another person. If a bully does that to you, you could get badly injured.

P.5 The next one is verbal bullying. This is where you get name called all the time. It may be a nickname that someone gives you that they think is funny but it actually really hurts your feelings. Being called a name one two many times can hurt you more than a punch or a hit.

P.6 Lastly is social bullying. This is when you or groups ignore or leave me out on purpose. When you do that it leaves me feeling lonely and as if I have no friends.

P.7 sometimes these types of bullying can happen all at once like if I hit you and call you names. Remember if someone does that to you or someone you know then you should stand up to them by telling a person you trust like your parents or even your teacher.

P.8 If you let bullying go on it changes you. You become sadder and can affect the way you sleep, eat and get along with others. You may stop doing the things you used to enjoy and you may stop doing your best work at school.

P.9 In serious cases a you may feel so bullied that you change schools or you may think about attempting suicide. I hope you have learnt something from my speech and that you will think about the way you treat others.

A Huhu Grub in my Sandwich

A Huhu Grub in my Sandwich

Some days at school are not so good

You can't remember things you should

Your friends don't help - they laugh at you

Your lunch box is depressing too

There's a huhu grub in my sandwich

And a pukeko in my head

And my brain won't do

What I want it to

And I wish I'd stayed in bed

Your bike has a flat tyre when

You need to ride it home again

And you're not in the team they pick

You eat a piethat makes you sick

There's a huhu grub in my sandwich

And a pukeko in my head

And my brain won't do

What I want it to

And wish I'd stayed in bed

It's stinking hot, you've lost your hat

And someone's nicked your cricket bat

Your friends are mean - you let off steam

The day seems like a long, bad dream

There's a huhu grub in my sandwich

And a pukeko in my head

And my brain won't do

What I want it to

And I wish I'd stayed in bed
