For this weeks Distance Learning we had to take different parts of two environmentally friendly minecraft houses to create a new one! For our STEAM we had to come up with a new/modernized vehicle, I really enjoyed doing this and named it Charge. Then we had to come up with a jingle/slogan as well as a billboard to advertise our new vehicle.
For this weeks learning we learned about elephant toothpaste and even had to come up with our own design for a elephant toothbrush! I really enjoyed our STEAM project, drawing my environment friendly wrap for food.
For this weeks learning we learned about graffiti or vandalism? We shared our opinion on what we thought and even got to make a mural design to go somewhere in Papakura! I really enjoyed making my mural design.
So, there I was… Just having a dance party outside on these blow up beds. It's my birthday if you didn't already know, soooo, continuing on… Yep! Just as simple as that, having a dance party. “WOOOO” Me and my friends all shouted. My party is going great! There's no drama, no ones sad, it's just… fun. “Hey guys! Wanna play TRUTH OR DARE…?” Lyla said, “OMG, YESS!!” Kayla said. Kayla and Lyla are twins, by the way. I said, “Ooo, of course!!” Oh and I’m Noelle by the way. There was only ONE person who hadn't answered yet.. “Do you want to play Aria?” Me, Kayla and Lyla said (at the exact same time of course.) “Uhhh, I’m not sure if it's a very good idea…” Aria can be a bit of a scardy cat, sometimes. “Okay then, we’ll go play without you.” I said looking back while walking away, “Oh fine!” YES!! Aria agreed! We all sat down in a circle. Kayla was giving the first dare or truth question to someone, and she chose Aria. “Hey Aria, Truth OR Dare?” Kayla said curiously to Aria, “Ummm, dare..?” Aria replied, she looked nervous. Kayla does really good dares. “Okay… I dare you to go down to the creepy house and put a letter saying ‘we found you out’ in their mailbox.” Uh oh, I felt bad for Aria, in fact everyone did so that's why we all went with Aria and did the dare together. We wrote the note, grabbed some torches and put on our jackets and off we went! Down the street to the creepy house, once we got in front of it… we all wished we didn't do this dare… Even Kayla did, I could tell by her face. We slowly walked up together so close I could feel everyone's heart racing, we chucked in the note and ran back to the house as fast as we could! We really wanted to get back home. If mum wasn't on her weekend holiday, we would be in HUGE trouble right now. We all decided to watch a movie, we watched Coraline because we haven't watched it in AGES and when I say ages I mean AGES. Then when we were in the tent watching the movie we heard something… or someone… Then we noticed there was a HUGE rip in the tent, we all got so scared and ran inside. We locked all the doors and windows as well as closed the curtains and blinds. We then sat down and started watching the movie again, TRYING to forget about the rip. Then the couch pillows started floating and hitting us like they wanted to have a pillow fight! We all screamed, “AHHHHHH” and ran away into my room. WHAT IS HAPPENING!!?? Everyone's hearts were racing in fright. “What if this is happening because of the note…?” I said, they all agreed, they think it is the note too. The pillows came into my room and started hitting us AGAIN!! Then they finally stopped… We thought it was over… but it definitely wasn't. We went back outside into the tent, patched up the hole and went to sleep. *A FEW HOURS LATER* “AHHHHHHH '' We all shouted, WE WERE GETTING ABDUCTED UP TO THIS SPACESHIP!!! “AHHHHH” We continued to scream! When we were in the space ship we all huddled together. We saw these people, they didn't look very nice… “How did you find us out?!” One of the ladies said, she looked like she was the boss of the other ones. We said, “What do you mean?” The lady looked mad, “We live in the creepy house, we saw your note. So. HOW DID YOU FIND US OUT!?” She said, smacking her hand on a desk behind her. “It was a dare! We don't know anything!” Aria said, wow! Maybe she's braver than us, I could never talk to this lady. “GOOD. Don't make that joke EVER AGAIN.” she shouted. We gave her a thumbs up because we were way too afraid to talk. She brang us back down to the ground, we ran inside and went straight to sleep. The next day, mum came home, “How's your night girls?” She said, “Umm, Great!” I didn't want to get her in trouble orrrr me. And then we actually haven't seen them in a while… and were NEVER going back to the house. We pinky swore.
For this weeks distance learning we had to draw some 3D shapes and read 6 texts. For our STEAM this week we had to design a playground to build somewhere along the inlet, I really enjoyed drawing my playground and coming up with the design. We also learned about forts! We had the option to include a few forts in our playground design and I put a few in!

Dear Jacinda Adern,
Did you know that kids can get bored when walking around the inlet? Did you know that kids don't like it sometimes and just want to play? This is why having a playground somewhere along the inlet would make a kids day! There are so many exciting and good things to list about having a new playground by the inlet, but I’ll only list a few.
Firstly, I think and quite a few others think building a playground somewhere along the inlet would be great! I think many other children would enjoy taking a quick stop when walking down the inlet to have a play around on the playground, as well as in the little forts. If you're wondering about parents and would they complain if their kid(s) wanted to go to the playground A LOT. Well they could, play with their kid(s) or look at the view, we could include benches to sit on, or maybe they just sit down and relax. Children would enjoy this playground so much, especially since we have been stuck at home for a while.
Secondly, it will get kids out of the house and off devices for a while! Children can play for AGES on devices but they can play for EVEN longer outside, on a playground or on the grass. But during lockdown kids can’t really go out to play especially if they have no backyard. This is why having a playground close to a lot of streets and houses could be great! Kids can let out all they’re energy by playing on the playground, parents will get to go outside and play with their kids, see the pretty view if the tides are in, or just have some peace while the kids play. Getting kids off devices for an hour or so will be great for them.
Lastly, during the place we are in now not many people can go to work and earn money! So… For people that haven’t gotten a car, car isn’t working ETC. This playground is really good because people can just walk there (If you live quite close.) It also will get a tiny tiny bit of less petrol out in the air because people will be walking there, so it just helps that tiny bit to stop pollution.
To conclude, building a playground along the inlet somewhere will be AWESOME! I hope you consider building this playground and don't forget the mini forts.
Sincerely,
Neave.
For this weeks ready we were learning about "Our Human Body" We had to make a poster about medical terms and what they meant! We learnt about Sarahs life as a diabetic. I really enjoyed learning about our human body and what it does!
For this weeks online learning we are learning about Health and what stuff that we can do Physically to keep us healthy. We had a daily fitness board game to do everyday for 5 minutes. We also had to make a DLO about a healthy life style! I really enjoyed making my pop up card with my cousin!
For one of this weeks reading tasks we had to make a DLO explaining what we think a healthy lifestyle is! I really enjoyed making my DLO about a healthy lifestyle and I also learnt some new things. In my DLO I included a slide about Healthy eating, Physical activity, and Sleep schedule.
For this weeks reading our topic was about balanced diet and how to keep healthy. We learned about what we should be eating and what we shouldn't have much of! For my create activity I chose to make a homemade ice block! They tasted delicious!
For one of the create tasks in our reading slides that I chose I needed to create my own healthy plate of food. I really enjoyed making a healthy lunch plate and maybe one day ill even actually make this plate of food!
The City Gets Crazy
“Ughhhh.. That villain last night took AGES to beat..” Groaned Luminater (one of Pantherna’s sidekicks) while sitting on the COMFIEST chair in the spaceship. “Uhhh yeah” Said Huminater passing back and forth, “Oh my gosh guys, literally all we had to do was steal the wand, knock the villain out and then the secret superhero crew police came and took her to villain jail, IT WAS SO EASY!!” Pantherna replied driving the spaceship, “but we missed HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2!!” The 2 sidekicks said together. “It was only on tonight,” Said Huminater, “ughh” Pantherna said, you could tell she was starting to get annoyed with her sidekicks that she got put with. A little while later, when Pantherna and her sidekicks were finally nearly at mars once again.. Pantherna got an alert/video call from her boss (The Mask who she didn't even know the true identity of) She answered the facetime call, “Hello Pantherna, Luminater and Huminater. We have been watching the cities on earth, and it looks like in Auckland City there is a villain, she is a lady, blue spiked up hair, blue scaly mask with a blue scaly costume as well. We need you and your sidekicks to stop this villain from taking over the city.” The Mask said to the crew, “but we are SO close to home, can’t you get someone else to do it??” Pantherna replied to her boss, “No because you are the strongest superhero and we think your super speed power plus your other ones will be great to defeat this villain.” The Mask replied to Pantherna, while Pantherna was on the call with The Mask, Luminater and Huminater were getting ready and tightening their costumes practicing what they were gonna do and blah blah blah blah. Once they got back to Earth and were above Auckland City, they all flew down to the ground landing with one hand on the ground and one knee up. “ALRIGHT, ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS PULL THE SNAKE FROM THE BACK OF HER SUIT AND THEN SHE SHOULD FALL TO THE GROUND AND GET AUTOMATICALLY KNOCKED OUT!!” Pantherna shouted over all the crashing and screaming. “OK” The sidekicks shouted. Luminater and Huminater’s first job in every villain crisis is to take all the people to a safe place. They scoop everyone up and carry them to safety (while flying OBVIOUSLY.) While they are doing that Pantherna lifts up all the boulders from buildings and throws them away with her power, she doesn't even have to touch them! It's a really cool power. Once she has a clear space she starts to fight the villain with her laser eyes that are yellow with black spots on them since she's based on a leopard, the villain fights back with its flying fangs power. Luminater and Huminater have taken all the people to safe places now so they are flying to the top of a building which the villain is standing under. They don’t usually do this but they can all sense that this is gonna be a hard one. Luminater and Huminater came down super fast but they made too much noise and the villain slithered away EXTREMELY fast. WOAH they had NEVER seen that before. They saw the villain slither into the ancient Museum that was NEVER there before, they followed the villain in and WOW there were so many stained glass creations! OH NO they all noticed that Luminater and Huminater hid ALL THE PEOPLE in here!!!!!!!! But when they spotted the villain again she was just slithering past everyone. Hmmm this was REALLY weird, what is she up to.. Luminater and Huminater started grabbing all the people again to take them to a new hiding spot just in case, and Pantherna followed the Snake villain into the stained glass room.. Luminater and Huminater just decided to hide the people OUTSIDE the stained glass room… This was going to be bad. Then the Snake villain started to squiggle through the stained glass maze and Pantherna RAN through all the stained glass pieces trying to catch the snake villain. They were both using their super speed power but while they were breaking all the stained glass windows all the glass fell OUTSIDE where MOST of the people were because some just left without Luminater or Huminater. All the glass fell all around the people. Huminater and Luminater started to take everyone away. Suddenly the villain changed to normal person form but she must have forgotten she cant use her super speed power when she is her normal villain self, so Pantherna quickly grabbed the snake off her suit and the villain fell to the ground and knocked out automatically like they were told. Then Pantherna fixed up all the buildings but then soon realised that there was a trail of glass that had a bit of red on each piece.. UH OH, Luminater and Huminater finally got everyone that got hurt to the hospital but they soon found out that no one survived sadly… A couple days later the Police were looking for evidence about the stained glass incident. Pantherna was still around and she saw evidence from the Snake villain and took it to her lair because she said, “We need this more than they do…” THE END!
For our distance learning part of the Extra Learning slides was to make a graph about something that includes our family. I chose to do favorite colors! I had to go around the house ask my family what their favorite color was and had to write down the data to turn it into a graph. Here's the results! (There was also Yellow but no one chose it)
