What Exactly is Response to Text ? and Why do we do it?

Most days we do reading, I personally love reading! But I know other kids aren’t so keen on it.  I’m pretty sure i’m in the highest group with Miss Gill! Because recently we read a chapter book with over 40 chapters! But anyway back to the topic, when we have a workshop with Miss Gill she normally gives us a create task and a response to text to be done before the next session. Which leads me more to what they are, a Response to text is a set of questions on a slide. This week we read a journal and this is my response to text.

Do you get the idea? Thanks for Reading!

Athletics at work!!

My heart, pounding in my chest will make it? The finale stretch to the end.

Hi im Ava and I am here today to talk about my thrilling Thursday. With athletics on its way our teachers sort to make us practice although they made it fun it was still tough. As you know i am clearly being a bit dramatic cause thats how i am but  anyway i should probably get back to our topic. We started athletics on Wednesday and carried it on to Thursday.  We were split four ways year 6 boys year 6 girls year 5 boys and year 5 girls i was in year five girls and we started at multi sport It was super fun because we had alot of fast sporty kids. Then after thirty minutes (i think) we strutted to shoot-put Charlie-Mae (Aka one of my besties)  Shot the furthest it went so far even Miss Gill was impressed. The next day we were headed to Discuss and as usual  Charlie-Mae made hers go about 50 feet. Next came running my least favourite part oh boy. Sprint was fun because the teacher we had for it let me do fun things like a crawling race and surprisingly i came 1st. Next came the thing i was dreading i was already super tired from sprint but we got to have partners and each of us ran three times I was with Mila and she was great. She ran faster than wind well kinda. After all this my feet hurt like crazy  and i was so lucky it had come to an end.

CSO orchestra visit!

Hi everyone welcome back this week It was awesome the best thing happened Anna, Publo, John, and a lot more people came they are part of an orchestra. They came because the teachers said we might never get to experience it ever again.

The instrument that I liked the most was the Villon and the trombone because the Villon sounded beautiful it was deep and lovely and the trombone was funny and it played lots of cool sounds also some important ones.

The thing that surprised me the most was that the stick a Villon uses is made out of horse hair and wood it is also called a bow originally called that because in early terms they were made quite curvy like a bow and arrow. 

Something that I found interesting was how the play a flute because all you have to do is blow and peruse your lips and without the special parts it would sound like a fake fart.

Thank you for reading this weeks post.

What’s your favourite instrument?

 

Swimming at Q E ll

This term, we have swimming for the first two weeks of school. We are having our lessons at QEII.

In previous years when we had swimming lessons at school I enjoyed getting on an inflatable boat and wearing our pjs on the last 2 days of school swimming because it felt like a treat at the end and it was a fun way to end the week.

Something that I have enjoyed this week is getting to go in the deep pool because I know I’ve been improving compared to last year where I was still in the middle sized pool.

Something that I have found hard this week is swimming in the second lane where it was 1.6 instead of 1.3 meters deep. I felt it was a bit scary knowing that if we needed to stop in the middle we could not grab onto the side because there was no side.

Something that I want to improve on next week is being more comfortable with swimming in deep pools because that is sure to help me swim in oceans or rivers.

Every year we have buddies this year we had the smallest kids ever they were year 5s and 6s. I felt super proud walking down to the bus with my buddy grasping my hand I felt like a babysitter. So I felt I needed to try hard to entertain her on the bus drawing on the window playing eye spy and more. When she told me her name I thought it was tricky to say it took me 4 days to remember how to say it correctly. Oshika (sorry if i spelt it wrong) it was pronounced oh-she-ka. She was bouncy, playful and a chatterbox. I loved the way she wasn’t afraid to point out any tiny detail that she thought mattered. It was fun talking non stop. I think it is amazing knowing a person like her.

Do u like swimming?

I’m also very thankful to my swimming teacher so a special thank you to her!

Thank u Bye.

Tumu´s Climate Change Trip to Town

On Monday morning this week we lined up on the balcony outside tumu . Then we walked down to the bus. It was a bit late so we waited in the library. Once it arrived we clambered aboard and we were off on an exciting adventure.

After about ten minutes we were there At Margaret Mahy,  the teacher did a second roll call to make sure everyone was there. Everyone was exhilarated skipping and jumping all the way down the riverbed past the food trucks and past the playground to the canoe chairs. There we put down the bags and sat on the tarp.

Hannah was there waiting for us she was sorting out some equipment. Then she assured us that the person teaching us will come soon. Around 15 minutes later she was there she held up a board with funny little pictures on it.

Then she asked us what we thought they were? We soon learnt that Christchurch’s biggest problem was cars and any vehicles. After that was my favourite part, we were told to go across the bridge where we had previously spotted an orchard.

The Christchurch city council  person explained that the garden was free for everybody it was called Ōtautahi Orchard. we raced over asking what was edible and what was not. I found this shocking it was that 83% of people still use petrol cars in Christchurch and less than 1% use EVs What?!!

Here are some photos:

At the end we decided we would do something to help climate change. I put my hand up and said I would ask my family to do a meat free Monday. What could you do?
