Aroha Island camp

 W.A.L.T upload my camp reflection to my blog and write about it.

 Last week the year 5 - 6's went to Aroha Island for our end-of-year camp. The teachers had a lot planned for us and we were so excited about camping in tents because the last few years at camp we would sleep in cabins. Going to Aroha Island makes us experience the true outdoors and interact with a different environment. Aroha Island is a little island that has an narrow causeway to get there. You get greeted by many native birds and trees like Tuis, fantails, kererus, pohutakawa, totara and at night you can see kiwis if your lucky.

Have you been to Aroha Island? and Did you like it?

Limerick Poem

 W.A.L.T upload a blog about our limerick poem.

Last week we started to learn about poems. The poem that we learnt about were Limerick poems. We learnt that the 1,2 and 5 line have to rhyme and have 8 - 10 syllables. The 3 and 4 line have to rhyme and have 5 - 6 syllables. My limerick poem is about tennis here it is.

I really enjoyed making the poems it is really fun I like how it rhymes and its funny. I learnt some poems have syllables and I didn't know that before. I found trying to rhyme really challenging because you couldn't think a rhyming words.

Have you wrote a limerick poem before?`

Maitai Bay Brochure

W.A.L.T upload my learning to my blog and write about it.

 Last week we started a inquiry task to make brochure about Maitai Bay. We had to include what you can do there?, How to get there?, what recreational activities you can do there?, what marine life lives there? and information about the rahui that the local hapu put there to bring back the marine life.

I learnt lots of things making this brochure one thing that I learnt is that there is a lot of things to do at Maitai Bay. I really enjoyed making this brochure one thing I really enjoyed was researching to find the right information. I found typing it really Challenging because I'm not a fast typer.

Have you been snorkelling at Maitai Bay?
