What Now

 What Now?

On 13th of September room 7 and  room 8 went to Shantytown to film What Now. I went up in the car with Donna Hampton, Billie, Wairini and Summer. It was fun on the way up because we were listening to music and singing.We had to wake up at 10 past 6 in the morning.  We had to be at Shantytown at 7 and we started going live at 8.

We were introduced to Erin the present, Matt the cameraman, Matt the props plus and Morgan the producer. They were all really nice and funny. One thing I noticed was that Erin was like two people. When she was off the camera she was so chill but when the camera came on she had so much energy and it was quite funny.

At the start of the show we did a scene on the train where Erin, the presenter, would put her head out of the window and introduce our school and the segment we were doing. We had to wait around quite awhile before we did it live and we also had to practice two times. 

The bad thing was that we had to wait lots and lots in between ads and studio videos.One break was for 20 minutes! So that wasn't very exciting. I also thought we would be busy the whole time. Like having water fights and being asked questions etc… There was a lot of waiting around. When we were gold panning my group didn't share so I didn't get to have a turn. I think What Now should try to include everyone as best as they can.

We did lots of little bits but my favourite was when we got to gunge Mrs Newton. It was funny because the gunge was blue and her goggles came off from the weight of the gunge. I also liked at the end where everyone got foamed.

At the end of the show I couldn't wait to get home because my arm was sore and I was cold.It Was kinda funny because when we were live I choked on some saliva and I was coughing and going red and if you look back I look so grumpy! 

Moari Language Week

 

Tramp

 Lake Daniels

On the 9th of September  Room 8 went for a day tramp to Lake Daniell. For preparation to go on the tramp we had to learn about hyperthermia and what we need to pack in our backpacks. We also had to do an imovie around our learning about “leave no trace.”The tramp was 8.4 km one way.  We had to be at school at 8 o'clock in the morning. We left school by 25 past 8. Before we left we also had to show Ms Kemp our wet weather gear, just in case it rained.

 I went up in a car with Tim Robbins, my Grandad, James, Indi and myself. The car ride up was good because we talked lots about planes, motorbike farms etc. On the way there and back we went through Lewis Pass. It was so windy. 

My favourite part was getting to the lake. It was my favourite part because you could see the lake for a little before you got to the hut and I got excited. I also liked how we had lunch right next to the lake. I had noodles for lunch so I was happy. 

I also liked when we had a moss fight. But we soon got caught and sent to the back. I understand the destruction we did to nature and how they might have been homes to tiny insects,but the fantails would love eating the bugs we turned over! Jokes! I felt bad  about what we did.

It was harder on the way back towards the end because we were going fast. The view was so pretty and the day was so sunny. I had lots of fun with my friends. 

When we headed home from the tramp I felt sick. So we stopped at reefton for some air. My Grandad said he would have got us ice cream but he thought no because I would probably throw it up. Damm! We did this tramp for the William Pike challenge. I like doing stuff outside of the classroom. I can't wait till our next tramp!

Magazine - read at least three articles from within a magazine. Write a paragraph about your thoughts about your favourite part

 

This week I read a magazine called wild things.It was a magazine all around “ who eats who.” Wild Things is a magazine that is all about nature and wildlife in New Zealand. I enjoyed doing this reading because we also did work around it in class . My favorite part was; Where animals eat and what animals eat. I also like reading an article about why we shouldn't through scraps into nature because it can endanger wildlife.. I enjoyed this magazine very much.

Forces and Motion day

 Forces and Motion day

On Wednesday the 19 of august karoro school did a forces in motion day.

This is where we were put into groups with a range of year groups

scattered in them. The year rolled older people in the school had to be

good role models for the younger students because there was usually

only one teacher in the class.  The classes were easier for the older classes . 

The first class I went to was with Mrs Robbins in room 7 learning about

static electricity. To get the balloon charged we either used our hair by

rubbing it on our head or by using a wollen rag and rubbing it on the balloon.

I learnt alot about different things we could use to move with static electricity.

I didn't know that you could move water (slow running tap water) with a

charged balloon . Or pencils!

The second group I went to was in the library with  Mrs Mears and Mrs

barber. They are from shanty town and came in for the day to teach us

with their workshop. The first thing we did was a competition to see who

could make the fastest moving simple machine . We used a box, tarpaulin,

rope and stilts. We used the rope to pull the person in the box. We won

with the fastest time to get to the finish line. We also did one more task

where there was a ramp with a smooth surface like tarpaulin. We  how fast

it would go and what object would go faster compared to another object.

For the last workshop I went to room 6  to make Worllie gigs. They were

already cut out so all we had to do was decorate them and cut them if we

wanted to. I help little kids with decorating there and cutting. 

The day was really fun and I hope that we do more days like this in the

future because I had lots of fun. I also learn alot about Forces and

motion.
