THE UNWANTED BANDIT WHO WANTS A COURIER

My name is John and im a old student at Wesley primary. I have two goals that I want to achieve.
My goal is to be a professional footballer. I have been playing soccer for about 3 years now and basically I have played almost everyday at school. Me and my friends play soccer at morning tea and lunch time. I practice and that make me better at controlling the ball. I was introduces to soccer when I was young and was watching TV and saw a guy kicking a ball and that made fell "wow that cool".
Once I retire I want to become a teacher following the foot steps of our shiny teacher Mr Vega. I want to teach at a primary school. Since I am learning a lot at the moment I think I know a bit about how to teach a small audience.

Golf

Today we were learning about vocabulary and knowing what the words are meaning and what type of word are they such as a noun, adjective, verb and adverb.

Maritime museum

Maritime Museum

On Thursday we went to the Maritime Museum in Auckland. We were ecstatic to go.

First we packed our bags on the bus and lined up in our groups. We all hopped onto the bus and sat in our seats. It took about 15 minutes.

Next we hopped off the bus and went into the huge entrance. Above us was a giant ship hanging above the drive way. "hello" shouted the man. "hello" exclaimed us happily. We went into the education center in the building.

Afterwards we went into the room and had a briefing about emergency and we had a small morning tea. Then we started to go on the boat called the Ted Asbhy. It was as rocky as the waves.

Learning mission

Hello today in math we were learning about sums and percentages. Here are some data sheets that I have been working on today. The data was really hard to find out and the sums were hard adding them up. The bit that I enjoyed the most was the adding up the percentages. I learnt a lot of things that you can do on google sheets and I learnt a lot on data. Maybe next time Mr Vega should explain how to add the percentages and sums.

Similes word cloud

Today in room 6 we were learning about how to write similes and what good vocabulary we can use to create them. This is one of the ones that I did about a puzzle piece. The other week we got a box sent to us to write a poem. when making this it changes your vocabulary and lets you express your words onto the website. If you want to make one go onto Abcya.com. These words I chose because they are better words such as e.g: big, little, scary. Here are 2 examples of what similes are. 1. the puzzle was as colorful as a rainbow. 2. cute as a teddy bear. This is what you say. ____was as ____ as ___ And you fill in the spaces. Bye.

Floating

Floating at the maritime museum

What are life jackets

Life jackets are jackets that help you float when your in the water. They are made from a lot of different material. When your boat sinks or if you are in the water the life jackets keep you out of the water. You must always use a life jacket in the water to keep you and others in a safe place.

What type are we using?

The life jackets that we are using are have more buckles and have a head rest to keep our heads out of the deep blue sea. Or we might wear a Inflatable life jacket that will inflate when you pull the string.

Learning with captain Vega

Our awesome captain Vega at our school teaches us about safety towards boats and reading texts about boats and Immigration. We have been working on research on the maritime museum and the boat that we will be going on.

How we know how to keep safe

We know how to keep safe by us making some rules at the facility. the Rules show us how to be respectful

Cool life jackets

Life jackets are cool, they save you life and when we go to the trip we are going to be wearing them for health and safety.

The Annual math lesson

Today we had an outdoor experience while we were doing math. Our fabulous math teacher Mr Vega told us some new math equations by telling us to write the operation and the symbols, Expanded maths etc. I really enjoyed the thrill in the maths questions. I felt triumphant when I got the questions right. Maybe next time we could do maths a bit more differently.

Maritime museum expectation

I hope this writing persuade you to go to the maritime museum in Auckland. There is A lot of fun stuff. 

My Safety Information guide for the maritime museum

My Maritime museum trip. I have designed a Instruction book to follow. It provides rules about running and eating. This spreadsheet has rules for all students to follow. All students must follow these rules at the museum. For people who don't understand then Iv'e added some logos .

Protest Of the cook Islands

Captain James cook went to the pacific Islands and found a new Island. Which is now called the cook Islands. Named after Captain Cook. But Now people are protesting about should they rename it.

What Is a Sextant and The Endeavor

Well the Endeavor is a boat her captain James Cook

Charting New Zealand

Chart of Captain James Cook's Map of New Zealand

Captain James Cook was A sailor From Britain who was born in Greenwich. He Sailed to Aotearoa and he started mapping It . He saw it and started charting It with his Sextant (quadrant) to check the horizon.

Captain Cook charting our Islands

I strongly recommend the book Captain cook charting our Islands. It talks about where Cook went and what he did to anchor his ship to the ground. The part I found interesting was that it tells you what soundings are and little fact that people may not know. It produces deep detail in the text For level 4
( Year 7 & 8). My thoughts of Captain cook has changed after reading this specific text. Captain cook had his way of charting down Islands and country's on his chart map. I thought that Cook had to go all around and just guess how to map it. This book would be great for people who loves Interesting facts
About sailing and voyaging.
