Lockdown!!!

 Lockdown

Last week I found out we were going into level 4 lockdown at 11.59 that night. I didn't want to go into lockdown because it reminded me of last lockdown and how boring it got. So I will be telling you about what I have done. I did things like going to the beach, playing on the tramp with my siblings.


The Beach. I love the beach because you get to just put your feet into the sand and also just sea glass. I love finding sea glass because now we have the whole street looking for it. Last lockdown all the people on the beach saw was my family's heads looking down at the sand on our beach walks, and we will probably do the exact same thing again.  I feel so happy when I find a piece, but when I find a piece and the wave gets it is annoying, also when your brother steals it.


The Tramp. The tramp is so fun at our house we get to learn new tricks, play games, also launching my little sister from a mattress so she goes flying. Our tramp is good because we have a net around it so no one flies out. I'm so happy that I can do a layout-half-twist (it's a gym move) because I couldn't do that before but the tramp helped me. I love when we all get to play games some are like, who can jump the highest, and who can do the highest backdrop. Then the mattresses I love when my brother and me say to my sister to lie down on the mattress and we would make her into a taco and bounce, then on the 6th bounce we would jump back and up so she would go flying. It worked so she went so high.


I love this lockdown but then I don't. That's my lockdown

Reading WL3

 Reading WL3

I love Reading WL3, we always have a new goal every 2 weeks. This week our goal was: Skim read to locate specific information & retell. 


We got to read a digital text from Kiwi kids News. It was about the Olympics and how some of our Kiwi athletes were going in which sport. We skim read through the text because on the Success Criteria it said not to read the whole text. We had to write in our books about who were the people in the text, what were the sports, when it happened, and where it was. ( I will show you a picture at the end)


After we skim read through the text the group talked about some of the who, what, when, and where. One of the who's were Lisa Carrington. One of the what's were Athletics. The When was Day 13. Last but not least the where was Tokyo Olympics 2020.That was our fun Reading WL3.


 So now my picture that I talked about in the first paragraph:

Olympics Booklet

 Olympics Booklet

This term we have an inquiry called going for gold. One of the things is about the olympics. I will tell you about the funnest booklet ever.


So we got this olympic booklet by Kiwi Kids News. It's so fun we all have one in MLH and we have 3 weeks to finish it. There's stories about the ancient olympics, there are cool games about the olympics. We also get to do your favorite kiwi athlete, last but not least we get to do things about Japan!


 Sometimes you get to say who your favorite kiwi athlete is for the olympics and paralympics, I choose Madaline Davidson for olympics (she does trampoline). We get to write her date of birth, age, hometown, sport, first olympics, and achievements. I also had to the same thing for paralympics. I choose Sophie Pascoe for the paralympics ( she is a swimmer).


I got to where it said Japan popular culture and I was worried. There was K-pop, Kawaii, Manga, and Anime. I knew what all of it was but, I do not know how to draw. All I know is that I tried and I think it looks ok.


I love the Olympic booklet. I wish we had the olympics every year so we could do the olympics booklet.
