2020 the year that was!

 Kia Ora welcome to or back to my blog.

I cant beleive the year is almost over. 2020 has been an interesting year, And its almost over. With all the bad news about Covid 19 and other things we haven't been acknolegening all the good things that have happened, Here are 5 good things that have happened in 2020.  

1. you may of heard your grandparents talking about drive in movie theaters well they have made a comeback. With all the covid restrictions we have to social distance so that means movie theathers had to close down. Which made an opening for Drive in movie theaters. Drive in Concerts are now a thing too.

2.  Have you relised that nowdays because of Covid we can wear whatever we want outside. Sweatpants and t-shirts became exeptable and it was our reiality. So I guess we cant  just walk out in our Pjs but who knows that might be next.

3.  We relised that home schooling kinda sucks, Now we can appericate our teachers and all there hard work. Teachers don't get an amazing pay rate so maybe the next thing to happen is going to be a worldwide teacher pay rise. Its a little much but its not impossible.

So there we have the top 3 things that happend in 2020 that was actually good, If you want to find out more things here is a website: 50 good things that happened in 2020

Speaking of things that have happened in 2020, In literacy we have been thinking about 2020 and what we have been doing. surprisingly we have done a lot at marshland school. Its been a crazy year for everything. After we wrote our senteces we had to turn it into a book. Here is my story. 

2020 The year that was!

                                        What is the best thing that has happened this year for you? 

Jolly Japan

Konnichiwa, welcome to or back to my blog

I hope you have had an amazing day so far. Its been an interesting term but its almost over, Which is really sad but I guess next year is going to be fun because i am going to be a year eight. I am really sad that the year is ending because I am going to be moving at the end of the year. My parents have decied that it would be best If we move back up north because my dad got a job. So I am really sad about that, I am really going to miss all my friends.

For literacy we have been learning about different countries and how to write information reports. Our task was to create a google earth tour that shows our country that we chose. We had to write a Introduction, A paragraph about the capital city and then any other information. The country I chose was Japan, it has been really fun learning about a new country. The Japanenes culture is truly interesting and fun to learn about. Japan is a beautiful country and I would love to be able to go to Japan. Here is my Google earth tour Japan 

Pretty Packaging

 Hello welcome back to my blog!

I hope you have had an amazing week so far. Last week around 50 children went to zones athletics. I went there for shot put and discus. For shot put I came 4th place with 8.46 meters, And for discus I came 1st place with 22.72 meters. Since I got 1st I am going to Canterburys which is the next big compition. If you win Canterburys then that means you are the best in Canterbury. I am really nervous for it but I hope I do good.

In math we have been learning about packaging and how to correctly take measurements. on tuesday we got a mystery pack with either: Chocolate, Cookies or Peanuts. in my mystery Pack I got 4 mini Chocolate bars. Once we got our mystery pack we had to take down the measurements and choose what shape of box we want to create. 

I chose to make a square because it would fit the measurements of my mini chocolate the best. I drew it up and cut it out, then I put it together. I then thought it would look with a lid so I made a lid to go with it. Lastly I added some black ribbon around it to make it look pretty. 

Here it is, I am really happy with the outcome:

Super duper Storyboard

 Hey fellow bloggers, welcome to or back to my blog.

I hope you have had an amazing start to the term. This week has been so long and boring. but I am so happy that the week is over! The only thing that was good about this week was seeing my friends again. We started  athletics practice, My favorite athlectics event is probably discus and shot put. High jump and long jump are fine but they aren't the best.

For Literacy we are learning about man vs nature, man vs man and man vs self. Its been really interesting. We have been reading 2 different books and 1 movie. Hatchet, Castaway:dissapointment island and the movie esscape from wildcat canoyon. Our task was to make a story board showing examples of Man vs Man, Man vs Nature and Man vs self from the text. Here is my storyboard: 

Lovely Sign Language

 Kia Ora, Welcome back to my blog. 

How has your week been so far? Its almost the holidays, Yay!!! I cant wait for the holidays. How about you, are you excited about the holidays? Since its New Zealand Sign Language week we have been set a task and here it is:

Our task today was to go on a app called sign language and play the games that the app provided. It was interesting and cool to learn a new language. It took some time to get it right but it was really fun to learn. Sign languege is such and amazing and a beautiful language. The game had a bunch of different levels. The first level was learning how to play and then playing. Once you complete a level you get a belt. it here are some pictures.
