My Speech Reflection

My Speech Reflection

On Friday I shared my speech it was like I was going to have to say my speech otherwise

I would die but obviously I didn’t but it felt like it. I was holding my breath hoping Mrs Hobbs would change her mind fingers crossed she didn’t why why this was so freaky.Take a big breath I calmed myself down then I started.I never looked at anyone I could hear some of the class talking feeling like I was about to pop!

*What was good about my speech

I thought they would like to know about bees so i told them some facts maybe a lot of facts but the facts were interesting so I thought they won’t get bored with these facts I don’t know if they did get bored well I hope they didn’t.

*What was bad about my speech

All I said was bee facts and I should have said about why the bees are dying. I don't know why I didn't do eye contact.

Tapa Turtles

Tapa Turtles

This term we have been

learning about how to make tapa cloths and we learnt

 about symmetry with Mrs  

 White.I learned how to carve and reflect shapes.   

I enjoyed it because I got to do carving,printing and fun

Math games.

I really liked the activity wrap it up because I could do any design.

This is my tapa turtle it was fun making tapa.

We made our tapa cloth different to the way you're meant to.First we had to do a bit of research then we had to trace a tapa turtle onto a piece of thin cardboard.My hands got sore because we had to trace the turtle against the window so I had to keep stopping.We had to draw a design on a piece of paper and then carved the design on a square piece of wood.Next we had to draw a design on our turtle's once  we had put the design on our turtle's we went over the designs in black ink.

Then we got two strips of paper and got a roller and rolled over our carving with black paint.

then we translated our print block (our carving) on the strip of paper until the piece of paper was covered with your carving design.once our tapa turtle and carving design was dry we glued the strips and tapa turtles to the tapa.then we were FINISHED!

😌Mountain Biking😌

I reached to the peddles and started to bike.I felt my body slide off the seat I was going to fall off my bike I knew how to save myself I lifted my body up and jumped off.I did it I didn't fall off my bike I could hear someone coming it was Lylah and Jessica."Hi Caitlin"Lylah said."Are you OK"Jessica asked."Yeah i'm alright,I saved my landing."I replied."Should we keep going or just turn around"Lylah asked.I hopped back on my bike and sighed "ok."We started to bike until we saw the tape I saw a lady standing there watching us.I looked around and saw another track going down hill that was probably were we were meant to go.I slowed down and came up to the lady and she said "Go down here"that was the way that I thought we were going down.I hopped off and walked down the little hill it was quiet steep but I managed to handle the hill.They were right behind me when I saw someone I yelled out "I'm stopping"I pulled up to a hult I could see who it was it was Isla.I could hear my friends stop I started to walk over to Isla I could see that she had been crying.Jessica and Lylah came running over to see what had happened."Are you alright"I asked."Yeah my chain just broke."I looked down at Islas bike she had probably fixed it because it looked fine.Me and Lylah and Jessica hop back on our bikes and kept going.The journey back was tiring.     

  

Sport shed😄 

I started to sprint my legs were moving so fast I thought they were going to fall off.I could hear the kids yelling and the sound of them banging on the doors and the shiny white walls.Me Addison,

Te Aroha,Hannah,Bonny were doing sport shed. "Can I have a moon hopper"a little voice came from the back.I looked around and saw a small boy waving his stick in the air.I reached over to grab it but he moved he started to walk to the front.I passed him a moon hopper once he got it he bounced away with his friends.Soon it was the end of lunch everyone waited around the door passing there sticks to us.Once the pack of kids were gone we started to pack up.SLAM!the door was pushed shut.The End

How Whales Change The Climate

How Whales Change The Climate

Did you know that whales change the climate.Whales feed a depth in waters that are often pitch black and then they return to the surface to the photic zone were there is enough light for photosynthesis to happen.But that's not only what whales do.They also plunge up and down through the water column,kicking plankton back up to the photic zone giving it more time to reproduce before it sinks back into the abyss.Humans think killing whales is good but whales help keep fish and krill.Whales don't just eat fish and krill they also keep them alive.In fact they also help the entire system of the ocean.More whales more fish and krill. 

Gymnastics Performance

Gymnastics

Performance

I trotted into a row I bent down so I was in a crouch.I could hear the audience talking it was like they were talking about me no they couldn’t they didn’t know who I was. “And Action” our couch directed.I could hear the footsteps of my group moving into a line.I was next what if I failed well there was no time for thinking cause it was my turn.I leaped onto the mini trampoline and started to bounce and off sprang.I could feel the breeze of cool air blowing in my face.THUMP! I hit the ground I threw my hands up for the end.Then we all crouched down again.

My row did the splits.Once we held the splits for 10 seconds we stood up the row in front of us knelt and the front row sat.Soon the audience clapped. “That was great I told my sister while we walked over to the mat.I sat down ready to watch the rest of the performances.

“Wow” the lights turned off. Glow sticks were shining.I could see the audience whispering to one another.Once the performers started the gymnastics got interesting.

I could feel fear filling my body what if someone popped out in front of me.Lights were dancing around the pitch black room it wasn’t that dark cause you could see shapes.I could hear a baby crying it was awful.Soon the performers were frozen a hursh light shined right over everyone. “And that brings our performance to an end”our coach beamed.It was a great performance.But the last thing was the awards. “Here are level one awards.”She pronounced. “Eva Williams Caitlin Williams” I was petrified there were hundreds of eyes staring at me.My cheeks turned in to tomatoes.

“Time to go”mum told me.I could feel the pressure sink out of me.I was so exhausted. “That was  great,

you both are a star,for a reward you can get an ice block.”My mum beamed.A smile appeared on my face.
