Toolkits

 Hey there bloggers

I was one of the students in my school to go to the Toolkits on the 20th of May.

If you don't know what toolkits are, it is when some schools go to one school and a there are people that present from different schools. There where three people that presented from my school and the people who presented go to a class that they got told to go to so then people who picked that presentation goes to that class. But the day after the people that where going to the Tool-kits had to pick witch one they wanted to go to. For the first session I went to coding Minecraft and after each toolkit You get to have a 15 minutes break

Coding Minecraft was very fun for me. Coding Minecraft was when we went to a site called hour of code then searched for the coding Minecraft. If you don't know how to code there will be a video or and speech bubble the will help you in each level.

After the break I headed to a Toolkit that was how to remove you back ground.  So it was simpler that I thought. So first We went to a site called Remove.bg then you insert the picture that you want to remove the background of. Then you download it on your chrome book and that was that Tool-kits.

In the last session I did Book Creator it was basically just making a book on a google slide but it was still fun. My book that I made was about a samurai.

Spark Arena Trip

Hey bloggers

Today the 17 of May Waikowhai's Year 6 students went to Spark Arena. Brendon Hines was the one who had organised this trip for us and 2 other school, it was free!!!. There was 3 activities that we did there. There was Happy Place, Sounds Fun and Van Gogh exhibit. We went to happy place first.

The first activity we did was Happy place it was very very fun. First thing that we did in the Happy Place was the ball pit. 4 people jumped in together and then the teachers took some pictures of us jumping in to the ball pit. I was surprised how deep it was it was like the height of my friend Tayszar. The second thing that we did in the happy place was the slide. After that we took some pictures in rooms and then we got to my favorite part of the happy place. It was like a dome and there was something like a a lot of fans under the floor and then when we went in and there was confetti was flying every where. 

The next activity that we did was sounds fun. It was where we got to play with the launch pads. When we got to go to do the launch pad we had to look at the computer because there was a yellow line that would go past a block and when the yellow goes on the block you had to press that block. There was also trumpets that we got to play for fun. There even a electric drum that he got to have a turn on. 

The finally activity that we did before having and lunch and going back to school the Van Gogh exhibit it was a dark room were to shows his arts. It also had words on the walls about his life.

Swimming at Cameron Pools

Hey bloggers

In Te Waka Ako we have been going to Cameron pools for swimming lessons. We started going this term.  At Cameron pools we got split in to 3 groups. In my group I have Paige, Daniel, Marcus, Tainui, Hazel, Tehani and Amara. In my group we only use half a swimming Lane. It is very fun swimming there for me. My 2 favorite way of swimming for me is free style and back strock. The day that we go to Cameron pools are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We take a bus to the pools. We normally use the board to help us do do the technique then we put the board up on the bench and try with out it. For the next few day we are looking at water safety
