Interchange with Miss Prendergast

 During one of the weeks With Miss Prendergast in interchange we had a task to do a board game based on a voyage to Aotearoa ( New Zealand ).

We had a choice of working by our self or with a partner. I chose to be with a partner so I was with Porsha.

In our board game we had to include: Step backs or Move forwards.

On of my favourite push backs is: A whale - 0 - swallows you go back to the start.

My favourite move forwards: The waves pull you forwards go up a space.

Porsha added stars to show the navigation to New Zealand.

After we had included all of the instructions we needed we decided to decorate it with colour.

I am very happy with how this turned out and was definitely one of the best activities I have done with Miss P.

Narrative Writing

This week Mrs Prendergast gave us a task to complete about a narrative writing. So I done my experience about Christchurch with a twist that is fiction. So here is mine

What country has made a vaccine for covid - 19?

 Have you heard of the deadly virus that has been going around for roughly 9 months?

Covid - 19 has killed 1 person on the west coast in New Zealand, and 1,654 have confirmed cases in New Zealand. 1,531 people have recovered from the virus.

But luckily China has found a vaccine for Covid and are healing a bunch of people. If the vaccine gets around the world it will heal everyone with Covid.

My questions I have for this is:

1. What is in the vaccine? 

2. How did they get this idea?

3. How does this vaccine work and what does it contain?

My opinion if this gets around the world is " If the vaccine does get to everyone with covid will it cure them depending on how bad it is? ".

My opinion on how this information got around: " I think he or she took their time to go around and gather up all the information and made the right choice to let it out to the world ".

Taking the OAR

Are you taking the oar, or are you going to bed.
O for Ownership
A for Accountability
R for Responsibility
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 B is for Blame
E is for Excuses
D is for Denial
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are wanting to take the OAR when you get in trouble or make a mistake make sure you take the OAR so you get in less trouble if you go to BED then you will get in more trouble and have to take the consequences.

Interchange on Mondays

Every Monday for the next 9 weeks Totara hub is doing interchange. Mrs Prendergast my teacher is doing New Zealand history. Miss Power the leader of Totara hub is doing Science experiments. Miss Hines is doing around the world.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last week with Mrs Prendergast we did learning about the ancestors of the Maoris. I learnt new things about my culture and I am proud to be a Maori.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------With Miss Power we done spinning water this was fun and one of us spun it too fast and the cup broke when it hit the ground and everyone in my group got wet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------When Totara 3 went to Miss Hines we had to find all the continents in the world. Did you know there are six continents? I thought there was seven until I learnt about them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------There are still 9 weeks to go with interchange and I cant wait to see what is going to happen with that.
