Halloween Or Not? - Poster



WALT: create a quality blog post. I think that Halloween is a unique way of letting kids have fun, and letting their imagination go wild with creating costumes like a . . . Vatch! (a vampire witch). ๐Ÿ˜‰ Finding the pictures was really challenging especially trying to make the frame fit the picture.

Te Kauru 2018 Camp Writing (2nd draft)

The Invader Adventure


Thunk, swish, clank, clank. I was on Invader, a ride at Rainbows end, and was TOTALLY regretting it. My stomach was turning itself inside out. As we got faster, we went higher. my mouth opened and I … SCREAMED LOUDER THAN EVER IN THE PAST TWO YEARS! AAHHHHHH!! Wiremu and Jasmine screamed too, but not as loud as I did. At last, It slowed and shivered to a stop. Then, you would think I was gonna start crying, BUT yet, I screeched: I WANNA GO AGAIN! *Sigh.* good times, good times indeed.


The Fear Fall Fiasco

The Fear Fall on the other hand was a BIG FAT NO NO! I was babbling on about how I LOVED it last time, two years ago. I went on it TWICE. But this time, …  Yeah … uhh NO WAY. So we waited in line for about 5 minutes. And I had HUGE butterflies inside my stomach, wait, no, make that GINORMOUS HORNETS! That was how NERVOUS I was. But it was too late to change my mind. Because I was already ON THE FEAR FALL!!! My heart was racing. I shut my eyes but the view was beautiful, I couldn’t resist. Oops. Big mistake. TOO HIGH, TOO HIGH! My breathing shortened and sped up. Click, click, clink. The seats clicked into place. OH GOD. AAHHHHHHHHH! I screeched and, as I got off … the tears came tumbling down my cheeks. *Sniff sniff.* 
EEK! WAY TOO HIGH! CATCH ME, I"M GONNA FAINT!
Aww! Its ending. Can I go again?

Mmmmm . . . Lunch!

STEAM Reflection - Term 3

Name - Caylee    Date - 19/09/18 
STEAM - TERM 3
- Coding (Snap4Arduino) and Arduino Boards
In Term 3, the students have been continuing their STEAM learning using the STEAM Electronics kits. They have been learning how to block code using the program Snap4Arduino. The purpose of this learning has been for the students to control one or more LED lights on an electronic arduino board using code. Each week the coding expectation increased and the students showed perseverance in achieving successful outcomes!
Learning Goal 1. To make an LED blink off/on by controlling voltage from 0V to 5V by programming the Arduino.
Learning Goal 2.  To change the speed of blinking to such a high rate that the LED appears to be dimmer.
Learning Goal 3. To make the LED fade on and off by varying the voltage



2018 - Term 3 STEAM - ‘Coding and Arduino Boards’ Reflective Questions

1. What was I learning and why?
I was learning how to code an arduino board so I can make an LED blink. I was also learning how to make 2 LEDs light up at different times.



2. What did I do well and how do I know?
I worked well with Jordan because we got MOST things correct. And because Jordan’s one of my good friends! 




3. What challenged me ……?
Finding the right places for the code parts, so that it matches the diagram.





4. What would I do differently next time to make my learning more successful ….. ?
Not arguing with Jordan when she’s actually right. 




5. What have I enjoyed about the learning?
I LOVED ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because it was SUPER fun!

The Science Road Show!!!

I sat in the front row, on the floor, a few metres from the smart board. The tall Man who seated us, called out for us to shush. "Hello and welcome to the science road show!" He Announced cheerfully. "This first section here tells you about how you're muscles work and . . ." 

This first part was the part I where I learnt more about my body and muscles.

What does this thingy do? I thought. I was looking at a battered up old fabric stool. Then the girl that was standing beside it asked if I wanted to have a turn. I nodded, then I sat in the stool and she told me what to do. So I clipped my self up and the girl gave me some not-so-heavy weights. I put my arms and legs in and out as she span me around. OH MY GOSH! I realised that when I put my arms out, I slowed down! BUT when I put them in, I sped up!

That was the activity I LOVED the most.

I want to learn more about how the spinning chair worked. I think that when the weights go out, it slows because the weight is spread out over a larger area.

Assembly vignette!

Assembly Vignette - By Caylee Jones
28.6.2018
I stood there, wearing my brothers striped white T-shirt with a dark purple tie, a moko and a matching maori headband combo! HA! I LOOKED RIDICULOUS!!! My heart was in my throat, I couldn't breathe and I felt super nauseous.

… “sweeping him across the swamp.”  Elly finished her part and that meant it was MY turn! My sweaty hands moved the mic to my mouth. “Iratumoana fell hard.Even though “... and before I know it … I’m finished.
I think I was overreacting … hee hee … ๐Ÿ˜

Do YOU think I was overreacting? Comment on it!!!

Awesome Code.org with Mrs Davan.


This is my Code.org with my awesome teacher, Mrs Davan!
(P.S. Sorry about the background noise.)

Good Friends!

Good friends can be trusted with valuable items and dark secrets. They would let you hang out with others and not try to hog you. Good friends care about you and your feelings. They would feel safe around you. They would show Integrity. Good friends know that sometimes its time to move on so you  would have to move on too. I learnt that the hard way.    . . .

Good friends help each other. They work together and strive for excellence in all they do. Two friends are stronger than one person.



      FRIENDS ARE AWESOME!!!
