Hand Art

This is how mine turned out.

 

The first week back at school

 Hello  I'm Te Atawhai and i'm a year 5 girl at wainui beach school. This is the first week back at school and it's already been busy. Yesterday me and my school went to a  monarch butterfly show. We have also have be doing athletics training. Plus all of my priorities and that's a work load. So I have been trying to do my best. 

In athletes training we have to prates ball though, sprints, long jump and high jump. My favorite athletes event is long jump. I like long jump because  you just jump and it kind of feels like your flying because sprit up and then jump. I think my least favorite athletic event is sprites because they are all about the shart and I always go late. I also don't like it because its tiring. 

Third of all the butterfly show. I found it funny and entertaining because it was about save the monarch butterflies homes from a road work company. But there were only 2 people that played 5 people. They also did lots of gymnastics in there play. So that was cool to. I hoped you liked my blog.

My speech

 

INTRODUCTION  introduction: $10 note. Everyone knows what this is, right? It is a $10 note. But not everyone knows who is on it or why she is on it. My speech is about a woman and why she is on our $10 note. Her name is Kate Sheppard. Kate was recognised as the woman who led the suffrage movement in NZ. ‘Suffrage’ means the right to vote. Women's suffrage day was celebrated here in Gisborne on the 19th of September 2020. Flowers were laid for her by the suffrage monument next to the council. 

PARAGRAPH :  Kate got women to vote on the 19th of Sept 1893, 127 years ago, NZ became the first country to allow women the right to vote. What an amazing achievement for NZ. Kate also fought for the right so that women could run for parliament seats. Today we have a female prime minister because of her. Previous female prime ministers were Helen Clark, who entered parliament in 1981 as the Labour MP and Dame Jenny Shipley entered parliament in 1987 as the National MP. Now Jacinda Ardern. The mayor of Gisborne is also a woman - Rehette Stoltz. 

PARAGRAPH 2: Secondly, Kate Sheppard believed that women should be able to participate in ALL areas of society including politics. This included sport and physical exercise. For example she fought for the right of women to exercise like men could. Like bike riding. Back then women couldn't bike ride but men could. How unfair is that? And that is why she is on the ten dollar note. 

 PARAGRAPH 3:  My third point is that she thought women should choose what they wanted to wear. An Example of this was that Kate fought against the use of corsets. What is a corset you ask ? Well that’s a good question. A corset was a tight fitting under clothing to shape your body. Form the chest down to your hips. Did you know koka Ngaire wore a corset sewn in her wedding dress - I bet she looked flash though!

 CONCLUSION: America only let women vote in 1920 which is over 20 years after NZ. There's still countries that don’t let women vote like the Vatican city in Italy. And Saudi Arabia doesn't want women to vote so they make it very hard for them to. But Kate has fought for women's rights and helped nz, and that is why she is on the ten dollar note. Thank you

A Busy Week

Kia ora, this week is Maori week and at  my school we've been trying to incorporate that idea . So this week our priorities were based on activities that would help us learn more about the culture and language. But this week we have been very very busy and hectic because me and my class moved into our school hall while our classroom is getting renovated. And we went up to a frame for a day too. But in all the distractions I've been trying to learn about the Maori language. It has been a whole lot easier with the website that my teachers shared with me because it adapts to how you answer the questions.

The first busy thing I had to do was move into the hall with my class. I helped move things into the hall all day. Koka Ngaire said that we had to move everything in our classroom to the hall including all of our art work. At first I was really sad because I liked my old class but now I think I've gotten use to the idare.  Our new class is really big and it's way easier to see when one of my workshops are on because there's no walls through the middle of the room. I also really like our reading space because it has lots of room and alot more books.

The second busy thing that happened was that me and my class went to a farme for the day. The frame is called Pihitai Station and the William's own it. But when we went up to the some of the farmers from down the road came to help out. The Lands, the  Thouises and the Williams had 6 rotations for us and they were all interesting.  The first one was the vehicles they use on the farme. We also got to chase sheep around. Third of all the dogs rounded up the sheep then we got to see a drown. Then we got to look at traps for pests and my favorite was the cow because we got to shake the milk and it turned into butter.

LTP

 Hello I'm a year 5 girl at wainui beach school and I love it here. As you may or may not know My school does LTP.  The options were Cardboardnation, Makey Makey and Junky monkey plate constrations. And for this week they changed Makey Makey to Lose Parts.  I wanted to try it out and see if I enjoyed it.  I thought that it would be very fun because we could make whatever we wanted.  So me and my friends started to think what we were going to make.

Then my friend Alice had a great idea, she thought that we could make a hut. So we started to gather the things we needed to build.  We tried to put the walls up but they kept falling over because of the wind. And I    realized that it would be hard to play in and that it would take a long time to make. So I tried to think up another idea because I was getting bored. Then I had an amazing idea.

 My idea was that me and my friends, ( Alice and Charlotte) could build a theme park.  Now I was very very exited by the idea and I wanted go get started that very moment. The first problem we ran into was that to make our trampoline we needed the top of a rolly and a tyre but the rolly top was the problem. Then I remembered that I saw one in the playground, so I ran up and got it. Then we had our Trampoline made!!!
