Writing - Write a letter to Harold

 W.A.L.T: Write a letter

Today for my school work I choose to do writing. Miss Pownall arranged us to write a letter to Life Education \  Harold. I asked 3 questions and talked about our zoom calls. It was actually pretty hard to think of questions to ask him, but it was really fun.

Ki Oara Harold!

It has felt like we have been in this lockdown for a year.

 I haven't been doing much but yesterday on a school zoom call our teacher talked about how she ran past Richie McCaw. 

I thought it was a lie because we were playing this game called fact or fib and she started off saying she ran past him. When it turned out to be true I was shocked.

I also have a few questions in mind I would like to ask you. 

1. Are you alone or do you have someone with you in your bubble because I can imagine being alone in lockdown, and it would be very boring

2. How have you coped with being in this lockdown. Have you gone out for lots of walks or have you been inside most of the time? 

3. Have you been catching up with your friends during these times?

I would love to see your reply to all my questions!

Love Emilee from New Brighton Cathlioc School!

R.E - Reliable Routines

 W.A.L.T: Be Reliable

In Rom 2 our teacher has put up some work to be done during this lockdown. I choose to do R.E because I thought it would be fun and reflect what we did when we were at school. We had this google drawing to fill out and there was pictures of something.

 e.g: The chromebook charging station.

You had to write down what it was used for and what happened if you did not do what it was used for.

e.g: The charging station is where you charge your school chromebooks. If you do not charge your school chromebook you have to do your work in your book.

Positive Thoughtful Helpful Blog Comment

 Because we are in Lockdown and have to do online Zoom Meetings our teacher, Miss Pownall has arranged some work we have to do at home. I choose writing and for writing we had to to a positive, thoughtful, and helpful comment. I choose to do my comment on Quinn´s Blog. He was talking about what he was doing at home. Here is my comment.

Maori Dictionary😮

Emma Twigg Visit ❤️😀

W.A.L.T: Reflect on exciting experiences  🎉

Emma Twigg, famous Gold Medal Olympian, came to our school on Tuesday, 17th of August. The Kapahaka group preformed an amazing Haka to Twigg and then we sang the National Anthem. Soon after that Twigg came up onto the stage and talked about her failures and her success. It was very interesting and great to learn why she started. She also talked about how she participated at 2 Olympic Games and came 4th in each of the races. Twigg explained how she came . 3 of a second away from winning a medal and how she left the sport for 2 years.

After those 2 years Twigg decided she would come back. She knew she could stand in the middle of the podium and claim a Gold Medal. After 3 years of training she got the Gold Medal and stood in the middle of the podium like she knew she could. She said, if you have a dream go for it because you will always achieve it!

Aunty Fluff Olympics

 In Room 2 we have been working on our Olympic slides for reading and the last task was to read a book called "Chicken Olympics" One of the characters was called Aunty Fluff. We had to make a profile for her like she was in the real Olympics. I had a lot of fun making this.

Here is mine!   🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔    

The Boy With Wings

 W.A.L.T: Reflect on our experiences

At NBC we have been lucky enough for 2 people to put on an amazing show for us. It was called The Boy With Wings and it was about a little boy called Jack and one night he had a dream about his great grandmother saying "Look for the boy with wings and you will find your treasure" 

. Jack went on lots of adventures such as following a goat in thick, thick fog and battling a sand storm and finally found out that under the rock in the middle of the meadow where the dying apple trees were, was water. Jack let the water flow and soon enough the trees were fresh and was growing apples once again. 

It was an amazing show and I would watch it again.

Have you ever read The Boy With Wings? 

Why all children should be involved in sports

 While we were doing our Olympic slides one of the activities I found was making a DLO (digital learning object) about why all children should be involved in sports. I spent a lot of time into this.

Emma Twigg Article

We have been learning about the Olympics and Emma Twigg this term and we had to make an article about her. Here is mine.

Emma Twigg Proves People Wrong

By Emilee Van Egdom-Jones

Emma Twigg won the finals and brought home gold at the Tokyo Olympics on Friday at 12:30. She did not expect to win this time.



You could see the pain in her face while she was rowing as hard as she could to get to the end. No matter how hard people tried to catch up to her she went even faster. A fish even jumped out of the water to see Twigg claim the victory. She was very happy and nearly cried. "For anyone who's had a little bit of failure… just keep at it. If you believe you can do something and you know your worth, then the world's your oyster.”

Twigg began rowing a long time ago in 2001. After 2 years of rowing boat class she began Woman Single Sculls. She won gold in 2005 in the World Rowing Junior Championship. Then aged 29, Twigg left the sport, and it seemed the 2014 world champion and five-time medallist at world champs would depart without making the podium at an Olympics.

In conclusion, Emma Twigg claimed gold and trained a lot for this moment that she achieved. Alot of people did not expect this special moment

Red Hat Olympics

 W.A.L.T: Make connections to texts. 

In Room 2 we have been learning about the Olympics. One of our tasks on our slides was to make a red hat about how I feel about sports. Here is mine.

I also think that sports is really cool.
