Let The Music Play

Task Description:  This theme is Let the music play and this means that we could make music out of anything and it doesn’t mean that we need like piano or a guitar that we could make music from anything like for example. We could use our hands and make sounds then add on a water tap to add on and on and on. So first we did our normal team 5 hui. Then we went to sit down in assembly in our B – G lines. As we went to go sit down on the chairs we saw that Mr Wiseman said “Where is Mr Burt or Mrs Nua, there probably having a extra holiday” Then everyone started to come in and the screen switched the a photo of golden. And Mr Burt, Mrs Nua and Mr Somerville were in masks and started to sing golden from K-Pop Demon Hunters.  Once the music was finished, Mr Burt introduced Team 1.

Team 1 did a video about them making music from cleaning. Team 1 is learning about making music from any material. Based on their movie, they were munching then went to go bake scones, once they were finished, 

Then Mr Burt Introduced team 2, they did a song based on emotions, they started off with music in the start, then changed it in another version of it.

Once Team 2 were finished, team 3 were next, they were similar to team 2, they did music based on there emotions, they had heaps of videos of showing there emotions and based on there music, 

Once team 3 was done, team 4 was next, there topic was based on how emotions can affect on there actions. 

Team 5 was up, and there one was a skit, Mr Wiseman introduced what there was performing, followed by a speical guest Mr Moran. Mr Wiseman introduced, “Are You Smarter Than A Teacher, MUSIC EDITION” Mr Wiseman brang up the best teachers from the best around the world, it was miss Tele’a, Miss Iliaoa, Miss Tipene and Miss Peleti, Mr Wiseman asked 4 people from Team 5 to play against them, and it was Olive, Junior, Isla and Nate, they were playing 8 rounds, they had to answer songs from different countries, and if you were correct it was worth 500 points, as they game went on the from round 7 the points were Students 0 – 1500 Teachers, than Mr Wiseman Boost the points to 1000, and then the last question the students got it right, They got 1500 (as a joke) and the teachers had 1499. 

Recount: Marshmallow Challenge

Task description: This week we have been learning how to create a recount with lots of descriptive language. We had a really fun challenge to complete as a class first and that was the Marshmallow challenge. After that we had to write a recount about our experience. Check out my recount below. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. 

Today room 10 completed a marshmallow challenge. In my group there was Frank, Khittamai, Winter, Alex M, Mercy and myself. We were given 20 pieces of spaghetti and 10 marshmallows. We had to build the tallest tower in the class and we only had 15 minutes.

First we had five minutes to plan out how we wanted our tower to look. We talked about how to make it the tallest tower using the materials that we had. We could not agree about what would be the best way to create the tower.

The 15 minutes started and we decided to make it long. The pasta was holding us back, it kept on falling so we tried a different way. So we put a lot, like maybe four marshmallows, to balance it. When we did that it stood up for a few minutes and then it fell. So we decided to use the wall to make it stand up.

Only one minute left and it fell again. My whole group felt so bad. Only 35 seconds left and we built it so differently like it was a one year old mess. It was fun and I really enjoyed it.

Year 5 and 6 Camp Recount

Task description: A few weeks ago we had year 5 and 6 camp on our school field. This week for writing we had to create a recount about our camp experience. Check out my camp experience below:

Last week the students of team 4 had the 32nd camp at Pt England School. My favourite activity was Killer Zone which I will tell you more about later on. We had to sleep in tents on the field and it went for 2 nights and 3 days.

One the first day we had Killer Zone. It is where you play against other camp teams. There was the USA (Weka My Team) and Canada (Pukeko). This game was all about teamwork. Mr J Was giving us instructions to play this game. Mr J Siad “3 2 1 go” First my team went on this board (IDk What it is). We had to keep on getting this board because if we fall down it gives us 10 sec added to our time. Later on in the game we had to launch these tennis balls in Canada’s base. But Canada was stuck on that when we were finished but I respect Canada and Usa. My favourite part about the killer zone was water balloons.

Kayaking was down at Pt England Beach with Mr Somerville. We learnt how to use the paddles and then had a chance to go out on the water. It was lots of fun. I really liked kayaking.

Year 5 and 6 camp was a really fun experience and I can’t wait to do it again next year when I am a year 6.
