Today my class was working with shapes one our chromebooks with one of our teachers Mrs Grant and before she left she said to make something on our chromebooks on a new slide and I made this house looking thing.
Today I made a poster about what the Trinity means to me.
On one Wednesday morning we had a teacher come into my class her name is Mrs Grant. She was teaching the year 5’s some new shortcuts and the year 4’s how to get better at using the touch pad. Since I am a year 5 I had to do the shortcut one which was actually quite hard to do since we had to keep finding the different shortcut. Since I was struggling with my work I had to keep asking my friends what the answer was since I was terrible at it. Some of the new things that I learned were shift ctrl + and shift ctrl – which is used to zoom in and out. With practise I am sure I will improve.

After morning tea my class and I were starting to prepare for athletics day which is on the 18 of September and our coach’s name was coach Bart and we were playing on the field.
First we practiced doing some sprinting and there were lots of challenges like having to go on our toes, then going on our heels, standing tall or having to crouch and the hardest one for me was having to go on my heels.
After that we played this game called sheepdog and its like tag but not tag so in sheepdogs there would be two sheepdogs who would have a noodle and they would have to try and tag the other players and we would play in a square and if they get tagged they would have to run around the the square and luckily for me I never got tagged.
Later we practiced some racing but first we had to get into groups of 4 and go down to the hedge and our coach also put up some blue and orange cones and then we had line up behind the orange cone and the first person in the line would have to stand by the blue cones and the coach would say “On your marks, get set, go” but instead of saying go he would clap and the person standing by the blue cone would have to run to wall. After that we did some more running but it’s a bit different so the person in front would go to the blue cone and the person behind the person would go to the orange line and coach Bart would say go and they would both go and the person by the orange cone would have to chase the other person and they would have try get them.
After that we would each get a little foam pig and we would have to lay on the ground and put the foam pig just above our heads and then we got back up we had to try and jump to our pig and our standing position was having our legs a bit apart, bend our knees and our arms swinging and then after that we would do the same but we have to try make it past our pig with the same position. Sadly for me it took a while for me to get past the pig but I eventually did it.
At last we finally finished and we were all sweaty and hot but at least I learned some new things.
At the beginning of Term 3, my teacher brought some very ugly and gross potatoes. into class. We didn’t want to touch them at all. Then later, my teacher brought some new and very pretty potatoes to class and we used these to make our own potato people. My potato looked like a normal person but in a potato body.When I was making my potato I used some shiny things for the eyes and I used some fabric for the mouth and some other fabric for its clothes and I gave it some purple hair with a fringe.
A week later we made these little movies in groups. The potatoes we made were used in making the little movie. There are 4 jobs people use to make a movie and they are the director, camera man, scene manager and editor. I really liked being the scene manager because I liked moving all the potatoes slowly for each photo.
Some days later we started making the background stuff and we had to make a rocket,evil layer and castle and i was making the rocket.
The Stolen Princess is the name of our Class movie. This is a brief outline of the story: once upon a time there was a princess and it was her birthday but something terrible happened. The princess was captured by an evil monster so the royal astronauts went into space to save her and they went back home and continued the birthday party. They lived happily ever after. I can’t wait to see our stop motion movie at the Manaiakalani Film Festival next term.
