Back to School!

-
Hello everyone,
I am now back to school. I am enjoying it very much! It is really good to be back with my friends!
This week we have been just fixing up the work that we did in lockdown, also we presented our inquiry on oceans. It was very nerve-racking to present, but I just had to get up there and present all my amazing knowledge that I had worked hard on! We are also keeping on track with mindfulness and hui. The classroom is a bit different though, we are split onto 2 sides.... luckily I am with my friends. Being split onto 2 sides mean the teachers have to talk in the middle of the room so the 2 sides can hear.
Here is my opportunities and challenges during the lockdown:

Opportunities

  • More time to keep fit
  • Catching up on school
  • Learned how to play croquet
  • I had time to try out some experiences
  • I had time to try new art
  • I learned new skills
  • I got to cook dinner for the family
  • I got to try out things I have never done before
  • I taught my dog how to skateboard

                                               


Challenges

  • It was hard to manage screen time
  • I could not talk to my teachers about my work in person
  • It was hard not being able to see my friends
  • My sister's b-days were in lockdown
  • Not being able to talk to people face to face
  • Missing my grandparents
  • Waiting for the lockdown to be over

Hello everyone, As you know New Zealand is in Level 4 of lockdown.  So I have been staying safe at home.  I have been doing lots of walking and biking around the neighbourhood, and keeping up my fitness in any way possible! Painting My sister and I have also been painting. Painting has been very fun.  We have painted lots of boxes and making them into 'Letterboxes'.  Which has been very fun to try out. I painted a big yogurt box lids, and I also painted two boxes, one of the boxes was really thin and really long it was used to hold the lining in, and the other box used to hold bottles, it was the box I made into a letterbox. The decoration on the yogurt lids and the lining box was rainbow and on the other box, it was splashed with different colours! Decoration Easter has recently been too as you know.  So we decorated the house Easter themed. It was very fun to decorate the house! As a family, we decorated with old stuff that was in the attic, in the a...

  Hello everyone,  last week the Hillary Hub and I went to a school camp to Wainui. Wainui is close to Akaroa.  We started off with the bus ride over there. I had a front seat next to Greta ( my friend ).  When we got there we went and had a look at our bunk rooms. Bunk Rooms: I had a very good bunk room in my bunk room I had my friends Maddie, Meg M and Hazel. It was a nice quiet bunk room. We got to sleep well although we did have noisy neighbours running around and giggling on the first night, but we did have good sleep. Activities: The activities were fun the one I was most scared about was abseiling. The one I was most excited for was Kayaking. High Ropes: I enjoyed learning how to belay and to feed to rope out and in, we also learned how to coil the rope. My favourite was probably feeding the rope through. The climbing part was a bit scary although I did not get to do much climbing as we had to take turns in a 4, overall I love learning how to do it all. Kayaki...
