What I did in the holidays.

 In hurumanu we did some wrting about what we did in the holidays. We did this off of the word SPILES. Here is what the words mean and what I did in the holidays.

S: Social, P: Physical, I: Intellectual, L: Likes, E: Emotional.

During the holidays I went to Kaikoura for 4 days and had a day break before I went to the West Coast for 6 days and ended up having 2 days to rest before going back to school.

While I was in Kaikoura I walked around with my mother and sister. But while I was at the coast I walked down the beach and walked down the road to the dairy to get their really nice boneless chicken. At some point I did my first volleyball practice with some friends.

I played a strategy game with my friends and I also did some reading. I also watched some youtube videos on something that I wanted to learn or do.

I liked eating the boneless chicken because they tasted really good and if I could I would have them again. I was excited to see the other people in the volleyball team because then I know who they are and what they know.

I felt really tired after being away for most of the holidays.

Creating a brand

 In wananga we have been making a brand. We had to do a logo and a name with some other things if wanted. We put all the stuff we thought of on a mood board. Our brand is a lemonade stand called lemonade lounge. Here is our mood board.

Bacteria

 In science we are doing an experimant with bacteria.

Aim: To learn about bacteria and how they grow.

Equipment:

1. Agar dish

2. Cotton bud swab

3. Vivid pen

Method:

1. Collect the bacteria on a cotton bud swab from taps, computer keyborads or desks.

2. Divide the agar in half by drawing a line on the lid.

3. Wipe the swab onto the agar solution.

4. Put the petri dish into the incubator for 1 week to allow the bacteria to grow.

5. Draw and label a bacteria.

6. Draw and label a scientific diagram of the experiment. 

Maths Learning Story

In maths we did a learning story on what we have done. We had to think back to what we have learnt and write it down. Here is the learning story.

What We Did:  We did a plan for our narrative writing where we could choose if we wanted to do Horror, Fantasy, or Myths and Legends. We did some orientation in our planning to help us in our story. We did some sequence of events for our story we are gonna write.
What I Learned:  I learnt some more vocabulary so I could use it in some of my other work. I learnt how to do a more detailed plan and how
My Favourite Parts: I liked doing the plan because I got to choose what topic it was and how many characters I could have. I liked learning some new vocabulary because I can use it in a lot more stuff. I also liked when I got to choose what is in my story.
My Next Steps:
CARR Values:  Make a statement below describing how you showed each of our CARR values during this Hurumanu.
Commitment I got ready with all the equipment I needed.		Achievement I have finished my plan on time and went ahead to start writing my story.
Resilience I kept on going even if it was hard to think of something to put.		Respect I respect my teachers even if they were a reliever.
