Wellington Refliction

Early in the morning on Sunday we left Matawai to go on a long journey to Wellington.  We stopped to Wairoa for a toilet break and to stretch our legs. “Everyone on the bus” Miss Dods said.  We went for a run before we got in the bus. After the next stop we were in Napier for another toilet break and we headed off again. We got to watch 3 movies on the way to Wellington. We had watch Jurassic World, the Avengers and Star Wars.
On our way to Silver Stream resort in Wellington. Looking out the window, seeing people moving there animals. Seeing new things that I’ve never seen and really funny inspired messages and words. My favourite inspirational message such as Absolutely, Positively Wellington.
Here are some of  my favourite parts on camp.
Going to Parliament for the first time and standing in the debating chamber and seeing the library after it had two fires.
Going to Te Papa and seeing the Gallipoli expertise and hearing about what they did in the war. Seeing what they made there bombs out of.
Going in to Weta  workshop and learning about how much it is for a silicone arm which is $1
000 and a silicone nose is $150.
We got to see how they made the armor.
We got to hold some of the guns that they had made and they told us how they make them.
Walking into the zoo you can hear birds kakling animals moaning.
Walking around seeing animals that I  have never seen in my life.
I got to pet a Emu and see in some of my favourite animals like the Tasmanian Devil.
Going to Zealandia was my highlight because I got to see a Tuatara and I learnt that Tuatara hydrate themselves through their skin.

Writing Reflection

We have been learning about Wellington.
My learning was about Weta Caves.
I research Weta Caves to learn many amazing facts. I created a piece of  writing using  my learning about Weta Caves.

Weta Caves Scare!!!
As I get closer and closer to Weta Workshop I hear monsters moaning and goblins chuckling. I see smoke emerging out from under the front door. Walking into the building I see a big, dark, black shadow that said “hello” I stand there like a stunned bird. He runs away and giggles like a little girl  I look at Miss Dods. We walk in and we see a big eagle flying around and soldiers walking  around like they own the show.
As we get deeper and deeper into the workshop,  afraid of the characters running around I happened to look behind me and see a big spider. I try to tell Miss Dods  and the class but  they just  kept on walking. I shout out, look behind you in a scared tone. They look and they run as  fast a they can but… We run into a creepy kind of angel looking doll, I scream like a little kid, the class looks at me as if I am a 3 year old. We look back at the angel. She does a high pitched laugh and flys away.
We go in to where they created all of the statues. We look around one of the monsters wink at me and then he grabs my arm. I scream and start freaking out Miss Dods look at me like I am from a different planet. Miss Dods  and the class keep on walking.  I follow behind. I keep looking over my shoulder… I hear my name being called.  I look but I can  not see anyone, I hear it again but it is getting quieter and quieter. I run to the class and Miss Dods. We pass the big giants on our way out . One grabbed  me by the arm and said “see you later” I tried to squirm out of his hands and run but he had a really good grip. I stop because it  is a waste of time. He puts me down, I run out the door with a sense of relief to be finally out of there.

Imagine a night when you hear monsters moaning and groaning.
Imagine a night when smoke is emerging out from under the front door of Weta Caves.
Imagine a night when you see a big black dark shadow that talks to you.
Imagine a night when a  large eagle soars through the building.
Imagine a night when we get deeper and deeper into the workshop,  afraid of the characters running around.
Imagine a night when you run into a creepy kind of angel looking doll.
Imagine a night when you are looking around and one of the monsters winks at you.
Imagine a night you hear your name being called, looking but no -one is there.
Imagine a night,everything is getting quieter and quieter
Imagine a night when a monster grabs your arm and says “See you later.”
Imagine a night running out of the door with a sense of relief to be finally free.

Reflection for maths

In room 4 we are creating a piece of artwork that involves reflection and rotational symmetry.

We had to find out what reflection and rotational symmetry meant and we found out what they meant.

Reflection meaning: when a shape has been cut in half with the symmetry line.

Rotational meaning: using or relating to a circular movement.

 My favourite part was  making the shape that we used and coloured it in and making it symmetrical.

Today I worked on the Google Doc Ninja Challenge.

Today I worked on the Google Doc Ninja Challenge.

Today I earned the  red belt.

I am aiming to get the black belt.

I found it hard to follow some of the instructions and to find what they were asking me to find.

I found it easy to  find all the of the tabs that I use every day.
