Blindfolds

Walt: Use Correct Sentences To Help Structure Our Writing

Today we had an amazing experience.

This experience involved a blindfold, and skill.

Have you ever had so much fun in a blindfold game?

Today our class were going on a fun and enjoyable experience, for our writing. While we were in our
class, Room 7, we listened very carefully to Mr Goodwin as he demanded us to walk quickly and quietly
outside to line up in two lines. Mr Goodwin was holding a plastic bag with something in it I started to
wonder what was inside and what it had to do with this activity, or whatever was inside! It wasn’t a long
walk to the park on the bottom fields as we were told to sit down as soon we got there, while we were
there Mr Goodwin asked an old teacher that used to come to our school and asked if she could do the
honors of rating our walk to the park, she gave it a 4/10 which is all good, at least she was honest! We
were told the game we were playing and the instructions for it! We were playing… Blindfold, “yay!”
everyone shouted and cheered we all were told to quieten down as we were told the instructions “you
are to blindfold one member of your pair and guide them through as many obstacles as you can you
have three minutes” everyone quickly blindfolded and started!

It was me and Freedom together, he’s my best friend and he went first. I chose for him all the hard
obstacles like rock climbing, monkey bars, the fire fox and way more cool stunts that he got to have a
go on! He must’ve had a great time when it was his turn. I can even imagine how fun it would be, since
we both know the park very well he suggested that he wanted to jump off a very high bar that I wouldn’t
even have the guts to jump off but he is more interested in parkour way more than me. We could do the
craziest things but the number one rule was to keep the blindfolded member of your pair safe and luckily
no one got injured! His one took three minutes.

Once Freedom’s time was up he handed it straight over to me and tied it very fast, well I knew he
wanted to get going! We basically did the exact same thing but with smaller jumps and I stood on the top
of the firefox and had to jump off without even knowing I was going to but luckily I landed safely on my
feet but that did give me shivers! We swung on bars and I did the fireman pole which was very creepy
because I dropped so fast then I had to grab a rope and climb up a ramp to get to the top where I slid
down the fireman pole, Freedom kept trying to convince me to jump off but I didn’t have the guts to so I
slid down again, soon after that Mr Goodwin told us to come in and put the blindfolds away, then line up
in two straight lines and walk back to class! My one took 5 minutes for some reason!

I would definitely recommend this this to anyone and if your wondering will this be fun if you ask me I
would definitely say yes! If you are thinking on doing this experience then I would probably get a partner
to do it with you cause’ then you can be more safe and it’s way more fun! I actually had a lot of fun even
though I got a massive ground shock from jumping off the firefox!

Task Description:

This week we had to write a recount about an experience we did! I found it fun and easy!

Pioneer Photographer Agree/ Disagree

Walt: Look For Information In The Text

Agree / Disagree
Statement	Agree/ Disagree	Page	Explanation and Evidence
Alfred Burton is a famous photographer from New Zealand.	Agree	2	"Just over a hundred years ago, a photographer called Alfred Burton came to new zealand from england."
Alfred likened his photography skills to that of a Hunter.	Agree	2	“Burton thought of himself as a hunter, going into the wild places.”
Alfred used to keep the film in his back pocket while taking photos.	Disagree	3	“Photographs were not taken on small rolls of film, but on big sheets of glass, called ‘plates’.”
In some areas Alfred needed to ride a horse, or even carry his equipment on his back.	Agree	4	“Sometimes he travelled with a dark van, specially built for him by a coach builder in dunedin. Sometimes he rode a horse, with his equipment loaded on a packhorse. When the tracks were not good enough for horses, he had to carry everything on his back, in a special pack.”
Alfred would usually go away on expeditions taking about 3 months.	Disagree	4	“On an expedition lasting three weeks, and allowing only twenty photographs a day, the photographer would need to carry 420 sheets of glass.”
Crossing rivers was a tricky thing for Alfred to do with all his equipment.	Agree	5	“On one of his earliest trips, he was crossing a river, with a packhorse carrying his photographs and equipment. The horse stumbled in the swirling water, and when Alfred got to the other side, he found that all his processed photographs were wet.”

Questions	Answer here. Use evidence from the text.
Explain why you think Alfred wanted to take photos of New Zealand scenery.	“He soon became excited by the beauty of New Zealand's mountains and lakes and bush and rivers. He wanted to take photographs of them for everyone to see.”
Do you think this would have been a frustrating job?	Yes Because “It was very hard for a photographer to travel around with his camera in those days.”

Reflect
How much easier is for photographers nowadays and why? Please explain what you mean.	The reason why it’s easier nowadays is because all you have to do is get out your camera, then click a button, and you have a picture saved with the data storage on your camera. Back then you had to get your camera, put a whole lot of stuff on the camera, then you have to carry the pictures around the entire place and, there really heavy!

Task Description:
this week we had to agree or disagree to the questions that we were asked then we had to say why we chose the specific answer that we told our teacher! I found it fun!

Term 4 Goals and Expectations

Walt: Use Correct Sentences To Help Structure Our Writing

The holidays have ended and school has started for this term our topic is Te Wā Toi/it’s art time.

Each teacher from our school, painted their art using all different kinds of ways!

Did you ever do this at your school?

What’s On this term? Well i’ll tell you. We have loads of things that are happening this term and I will only mention a few because I don’t want to bore you with everything because as my Mum always says “if your bored your boring” and I don’t want to make you boring! This term we are having The Manaiakalani Film Festival, Athletics, Year 6 camp, Art and Prize Giving!

My goals for this term are trying to get better at drawing and painting and becoming a pro drawer! The reason why I would love to get better at my drawing and painting is because I need to work better and put more detail when I draw on paper and coloring carefully between the lines when I try to paint nicely! Also it would just be so cool to be a pro drawer cause’ then I could draw famous pictures in art galleries and stuff!

What I want to learn about is history on famous arts and paintings from famous galleries from all around the world. I also want to learn about the ways that famous people drew things like Pablo Picasso, Leonardo Da Vinci and Vincent Van Gogh and what style they used to make such great and famous paintings! What I want to achieve this term is getting an awesome mark from testing since this is Pt England’s testing term!

This is going to be a wonderful term yet hard and overwhelming. We have a lot going on this term but the two things that I am most excited about is Year 6 Camp and Prize giving, I have two goals that I want to achieve this term to become a pro drawer and getting better at art just to make it look better than it was before, also I hope we learn about famous artists and paintings from all around the world and the history of famous artists and how they got ideas of their famous paintings. Overall this could be the best term of the entire year.

Task Description:

This week we had to write about all our goals and what we are looking forward to this term! I found it easy!

Check Out My Tiny Hand-sized 3D Printed House

Intro: This is my special 3D Printed House. This house took a long time to create, like three weeks! Have you ever made a 3D printed house?

Throughout term 3 my class and I have all created our own mini hand-sized houses with an LED light to make it glow in the dark. It’s actually pretty cool to see. The way we make these houses is by Tinkercad which is a cool website which you can create an account and make whatever you want using all sorts of blocks!

As you can see below that my house that I created has a see through chimney and my crafted initials just to the right and a garage all the way to the left. My house also includes of 13 hand-crafted windows, well that is if you count the chimney as well! I think that my house is the best because it stands out and also I think that my class took it to far making their house look to over the top!

To go with my house I added a little astronaut with a jetpack who I call… Astrobot, just to get people interested more in my house and Astrobot! Another reason why I added Astrobot is because he looks welcoming especially while he waves his hand in a nice, kind and good way. I also colored Astrobot grey because then he’ll stand out since his entire house is painted white!

Altogether the house, the LED light and even the Astrobot look good together which makes me very proud of my accomplishments as almost everytime I walk past someone they are stunned by my house my teacher has been showing off my work to other teachers and staff members of the school!

Thank You For Reading My Story!

Hope You Enjoyed It!
