Anzac Activity

For this activity we had to create a Lego scene that commemorates the soldiers that fought in the war. While I was at it I also created a war scene with the soldiers fighting. Here are the pictures. The top one will be the one commemorating the soldiers.

Anzac Activity

For this activity we had to create a piece of artwork such as a poppy or something that commemorates the soldiers and represents Anzac Day. For my piece of artwork I tried my best to recreate a picture of a poppy.

This is the original

This is my artwork

Anzac Activity

For this activity we had to read about a war leader called Colonel William Malone. We had to read a paragraph about him and list down five things that shows he had the quality to be a leader. After we had listed down those five things, we had to write about someone that seems like a leader to us. We had to list down a few things on why they were a leader to us. I chose Jonah Lomu as my leader. Here is my writing.

In my opinion Colonel William Malone was a very good leader trying to protect his men at all costs. He was always getting prepared knowing that the war would come sooner or later. He studied and he got into a routine everyday just to get ready for war and fight for his country. Even just as the war was declared to happen he volunteered and ended up getting being made commander of the Wellington Infantry Battalion. He had one of the best reputations at being a great war leader. My leader would have to none other than Jonah Lomu. He was one of the best All Blacks in history and he was my favourite rugby player. Jonah Lomu was also one of the fastest and strongest rugby players of all time. He also played for my favourite international rugby team the All Blacks. One day I hope I can be just as good as him and try to push myself as much as he pushed himself. Jonah Lomu is my inspiration and he always will be. He is a leader to me.

Anzac Activity

Since this week we are working on Anzac Day and we are doing Anzac activities one of the activities that we could do was write a story about our teddy. If you are wondering what I mean we had to dress up a teddy for a challenge and take a picture of it. So we thought why not write about that teddy. For this activity we had to write an adventure that our teddy has been on. Here is my story about my teddy Hugh.

As Hugh sat in front of my window I wondered what he was thinking and all the adventures he has been on. Maybe he went to war or maybe he was successful at one point in his life. Whatever it is i must’ve been hard. By the way Hugh always looks like he’s in a mood he makes it seem like he had a hard life. As Hugh wondered to himself he remembered the point in his life where he had to go to war. Hugh was one of the best of the best at the time. He was a bomber pilot. Dropping bombs on the enemies towns and villages. As Hugh looked back he could see them winning the war but really they didn’t. Whenever Hugh looks back on the war he thinks he would’ve had the same feelings that he had when they lost the war if they won it. Back in the war Hugh was the lead in the sky with his crew behind him and beside him flying over the opponents lands. But what their army didn’t realise was that their enemies were ready and waiting for the attack. As soon as Hugh’s team flew over the town and villages they got shot down one by one. Hugh wanted to leave but he didn’t. Hugh stayed with his crew in the air and helped the soldiers down on ground to win the war. Until one of the pilots got shot and the plane was descending and fast. It was heading straight for their own soldiers on the ground. Then the plane hit the ground. Leaving a huge explosion and half of the main town destroyed. There was only Hugh and his best mate left in the sky. Helping the reinforcements on the ground. They were trying to call in the backup planes but Hugh or his best friend didn’t have any codes to send back to headquarters to get backup to come. As the enemies soldiers came up in a huge group going to ambush their army Hugh’s best mate said that he is going to take a sacrifice. He suicide bombed the opposing soldiers coming from the capital building. Hugh had to back out. But as Hugh tried to leave he couldn’t not only because he wanted to stay with his team on the ground but because he was getting shot at. He tried his to best to get out of there but just as he was leaving his one of the engines got shot and he wasn’t flying to well and started descending. But very slowly. He was scared of what was to come. Was it fate that his plane was meant to get shot down. Was it karma sending a message. Who knows. But just as he was going down he could see a opening spot to land his plane down. So he prepared to have a rough landing and popped out the wheels and started to fly lower and lower. Then before he knew it he was less than 10 metres away from the ground. Then he landed, a bit of a rough landing but he did it. He got out of the war. Hundreds of miles away from the chaos and death. He thought he was going to die. Just as he landed he got out of his plane. Fell on the ground and just layed there for awhile. As seconds felt like minutes and minutes felt like hours he laid there thinking what could’ve happened if he didn’t leave the war. Thinking of what is happening. He got up and he started walking away. Not remembering that his plane engine was shot. That when he walked about 10 minutes away he heard the explosion of his plane blowing up. Up to this day he never speaks of what happened. 

This is Hugh now.

Anzac Art

For an extra activity that we could do was creating a piece of Anzac art. It didn't matter what sort of art it was as long as it was about Anzac Day. I found a piece of art and tried by best to create it but instead I added two more soldiers in the piece of art. My piece of art is about paying respects to the soldiers that fought for their countries and the lives of others. Here is my piece of art.

The Last Post

For writing today we had to listen to The Last Post which is a song that commemorates the Anzac soldiers. After we had listened to the song we had to write 6-10 sentences about how it makes us feel. Here is my writing about The Last Post and how it makes me feel.

This song reminds me of Anzac Day obviously. But not only just Anzac Day, but all of the soldiers that had fought in the war. They not only fought for their country but also for the lives of others. This song is a song that just makes me feel lost in space thinking about the past of the soldiers that had fought for their country and for the lives of others. This song is meant to commemorate the soldiers that had fought in the war. It makes people remember but also it makes them feel in a different act of feeling. Like sadness and loneliness. It might make people feel like that in those ways. But as long as we keep playing this song to everyone whether they celebrate Anzac Day or not at least that we still have the memory of our heroes.

Baking

Last week on Friday we had baking challenge out of the whole class. We called it Room 6's Best Baker. Our whole class had to try and bake something. We were allowed to bake anything we wanted but during the process we had to take some photos of us actually baking our food. Then after the whole baking situation we had to go and create a slideshow and put the recipe pictures of the food being baked and a reflection. Then once your baking was completely done with everything you wanted on it we had to make a presentation and make a little scene then take the picture. Here is my slideshow.
 

Different Feelings

For writing we have had to listen to a book called In My Heart by Jo Witek. The book was about all these different types of feelings and then after we listened to it we had to write about how we feel at the moment. Here is my piece of writing.

The situation that the whole word is having right now makes me feel sad and a little bit worried. I try to think of all the happy times that can make me happy and try not to think about all the bad things happening this very second. Like people suffering from cancer and diseases and other things like the virus that has spread across the world. Thinking of the happy times makes me happy like all the times I spent with my friends and family. Then when I look at other countries it makes me feel furious when people aren’t listening to the rules and staying in there house for a few weeks. Sometimes I just don’t feel safe around strangers people I don’t know and I’m afraid of what might come. A lot of the time I can be very quiet and still this is when I know that I’m shy. But there is one thing that makes me very excited, is when this all blows over and then we can go back to school and then I can go see everyone again like my friends and family then I know that everyone will feel safe thats the feeling I love the most is when I know that everyone is safe and that they are ok. Then sometimes when I know that I can do something I try my best even if I’m not good at it or I’m scared of what other people might think of me, but then I realise that I shouldn’t think about what other people think of me and that I can do it, this is when I know that I’m brave. Everyday I have one feeling that I have throughout most of the day when I don’t have anything to do and I just relax my whole body, this is when I know I’m calm. Some days just aren’t for me sometimes, maybe I have a bad day and I get called names and my feelings get hurt, this is when I feel broken inside. But then I think that I can get over it and think that I am better than this and that I can carry on, this is when I am hopeful. Then at times I just feel clumsy and relaxed and I feel like I can do anything that I want and thats when I know that I’m being silly and funny.  Then when I’m just calm and relaxed I think that my body and heart is just this thing filled with heaps of different feelings that I express everyday.

In this post I am going to tell you about remembering your times tables. This is one of the most essential things during maths is remembering your answers. This was another extra maths project on our digital learning site. Here is my presentation.

Favourite Times Tables

Since we can't go to school for a few weeks we have been working from home digitally. Once we did out maths we had another extra thing to do that was optional. One of the extras for maths was creating a poster on our favourite times tables. I added some extra saying what my goal was and why this times table was my favourite. Here is my presentation.
