The Holiday's Come To An End
The holiday's has finally come to an end and it just went so fast. I was so excited that the holiday's had finally come but it just went so fast so now I'm getting ready to go back to school.
The time where we have all the time in the world is gone and we have to go back to school and study.....ohhhhh but one thing is sure that when we grow older, we will be intelligent people and we will thank whoever invented school..... if he's alive.
For me it wasn't the best holiday's ever and you would probably know that if you have been reading my other blogs so I'm happy to go back to school but at the same time I'm sad that the holiday's is over. So that is pretty much it so tomorrow our life will change.... well not really.

One Term To Go Till Schools Over......ohhhhhhhhhhhh
Oh no, schools almost over and we only have one term left until we will be going to intermediate. All the year sixes will be moving on to intermediate and having to do homework every night. I will be fine with that and also will be having fun in intermediate but not as much fun I have in primary.
I wish our school was going up to intermediate because it's the best school ever and it makes it even more better with the best teacher in the world, Miss Davies. But well it's not going up to intermediate but I wasn't joking about the best school and teacher part.
Hope the time from now and the end of the year goes really slow and we should have as much fun as we can.

The Day it All Changed
On the 29th of June we got to measure things in our classroom. We did this because we were going to change our classroom around which was really exciting for us because we will not have desks except for one or two. We needed to find out all the measurements of everything so that we knew if it would be the right size to fit or not. We had to work with people we don’t normally work with. I was working with Josh. Before we started Miss Davies gave us a short learning session about measurement.
We had to do a worksheet which asked us to measure something but we had to estimate it first. We moved on to doing perimeter and area. To work out the area of a shape without using a grid is to use your ruler and measure the width and then the length you then times the length and then width.
We also learnt how to find the area and perimeter of a compound shape. You have to split the shape into the shapes it could be and then measure the area of each shape and put those answers together and then you get the answer. We learnt that the Perimeter of a shape is the outside of it and that the Area is the space inside it.
We all love our class and it is the best!

iClean!
On Friday 20th We had our iClean day. it was the day we all helped out the school and cleaned it all up and make it look way better. It all started when Room 17 were doing our homelinks and then Stuart Hale video called Miss Davies and told us that there was an emergency. He said that Apple Bust tour was coming on Monday 23rd and said the school didn’t look very good as it used to be. So we all thought of how we could help make the school look better. We got into our star groups and thought of questions, how we can help the school. Afterwards we took photos of the problems around the school. Then we listed all of the problems on a sheet of paper and on inspiration. We got into super groups by merging two star groups and named them. Together in our super groups we picked an area to clean up. Afterwards we made an action plans and thought of which tools we need.
On Friday it was the big day, we all got prepared in our Anawhata shirts and old clothes ready to clean up the school. We all worked really hard and afterwards it looked really good but we all were soaked. When Mr Hale came on the day he said it looked AWESOME and he wasn't joking!
We were all proud of ourselves and thought we all did a good job. That meant Summerland was still a beautiful school and always will be.

Parents at School!
It would be a funny scene to watch our parents in a class learning. Well it actually came true, a few parents of room 17 and 12 were sitting in our class with us and got ready to learn about google search, wordle and a whole heap of other computer gadgets and information.
4:45pm, "Mum time to go" I said to my mum as it was time for my mum to go to school and learn. We sat down at a desk together and there was some lollies in the bowl. They were there for us to eat so my mum put the lollies on my side and kept gobbling them in. " Mum, it's not dinner" I whispered to her and she quickly put it on my side but I didn't eat any then.
Ok now it started and there we were, sitting in class at 5o'clock learning. Miss Signal and Miss Davies introduced themselves to us and Miss Signal told us to go on google search and my mum was already struggling. She finally got on and she had a sigh of relief. Miss Signal taught us a lot of things on how to search, for example, When you want to search What is a Taniwha?, if you put speech marks beside the question like this("What is a Taniwha") you will get the exact thing you searched for. We learnt a lot of similar things to that and then we learnt how to use the safe search settings. You can put a safe search on your computer and you can restrict it so you won't get inappropriate things. By then I started eating the lollies and my dad came. We also learnt wordle. Wordle is a site where you can see what word you have used the most by just writing down the URL.
It was really worth it although before school started I thought "who would want to go to school at 5o'clock", well I changed my mind because we learnt something new.
