Today my class are doing aboriginal art! Aboriginal art is a art where you use dots to color in everything, but what make this art special is that this art has been used thousands of years to communicate. Each symbol means something. They are also made to tell stories, here's how my story goes.
The story begins on a bright sunny day. Two dolphins were diving and darting through the waves. Suddenly a big shadow blocked the light. Up above the ocean’s surface was a man and a woman armed with spears, hunting for dolphins.
The dolphins knew if they didn’t swim fast, they would be dolphin meat.
Diving around, they found some coral to hide, waiting nervously until the man and women left. Happily, they darted through the waves again.
Hi, what's this? It's my writing, yesterday we had to write a story based on a video. We only watched the first part of the video, and the rest? We had to make it up the rest. Then after the class wrote their story we watched the rest of the video, it was a lot different to my story (the difference is that I made the story better 😜). Read the story and then give me some feedback. Here's some questions. How can I improve? Is there any mistakes I made? Should I make this story longer or shorter? By the way there is a video you can watch.
“I am hopeless” I said to myself. I turned the plane to only see the abundant ships coated with golden sand and the wood scattered around the desert, rotting and starting to decay.
As I fly the plane longer more rusty ships dotted the desert and more rotting wood surrounded the ships. I am tired, hot and hopeless, I thought to myself. When all hope was gone a light caught my eye. Turned around to only see a lighthouse, it was the only thing standing tall in the lifeless place. Although it’s barely holding itself, somehow the light was still working.
I followed the light and saw what I was looking for days, a cloud. I immediately directed the plane to the cloud, after a few minutes I saw the ocean, Hope was building up. My thirst will end, I will finally re-experienced the feeling of the cool feeling on my skin.
Suddenly I realized I was heading straight into a storm, I tried to turn but it didn’t work, the steering wheel isn’t working. The thick clouds blocked the view of the sea, lightning bolts flashed in front of my eyes, the moisture in the clouds terrorised me with the cold. Everything was happening so fast. Unexpectedly the lightning bolt stabbed the plane.
I was frightened, scared, sick and cold. All my hopes are fading away leaving nothing but fear. I plummeted into the sea sinking down in the deep blue...

Every Wednesday, Mark and Kelsey teaches us about how to be smart on the internet. This week we learnt about Netiquette. What is Netiquette you ask, well it's a list of rules of how you behave online. It's a lot like real etiquette. We used something called MindMup to write our dos and don'ts. Here are my ideas. (I didn't spell MindMup wrong) 🍩🍪🍭🍨🎂
Hi, My name is Mika. What's this? It's a time table. Don't know how to use it. If you look at the left, you can see how many blog posts I made in a month (I'll try and make more posts in the future), click on June and scroll down. I'll let you find out what to do next.
In week 6 we started managing our own work by using what is in front of us. I don't know what to call it but you can call it the management time table\personal timetable.What we do is that we go to a slide with must dos, then you choice when you do it, for e.p. you want to do some maths after lunch time then you write it under 'lunchtime eat'. If you complete an activity you go to a doc called 'Completed work tracker', you write done under the name of the activity you've finished working on. I think this helped me alot. We can also reflect on our time table, on the right you can see a green box, orange box and a red box. It means that if you finished the activity you fill the box green. Red means that you hadn't done anything! And orange means you did some work. I really want you to tell your teacher about this because this really helped me so I think it will really help you. Thank you for reading.
Today. . . my class just meet Jamie Duff. But to tell you the truth, I didn’t know him at all. And I didn’t know that he even existed. Oh, I forget I hadn’t introduce myself.
Hi my name is Mika in Yaldhurst Model school. My class was so excited. First we asked a few questions about him. My question was who inspired Jamie to be a racer.
He said his Dad inspired him. After All the questions were answered, we had a closer look at the racing car. Jamie duff said the engine costed 75,000 dollars! Imagine how much the other materials costed.
He also said the car had to be light so the car can be really fast, so they used titanium because it’s really light like plastic but very strong like it’s unbreakable.
This wasn’t the first famous person we met, we met Lesa carrington. And of course I knew her. Lets finish this blog post by seeing my class with Jamie Duff
This slide was made from me and Mia. The slide is about how you behave in the pool. Please tell us in the comments how we can improve this slide and make better blog posts. :)
On Wednesday, week 2. Me and my class (Rimu) went sailing on our field trip. First we split up into groups. I was with Mia and Abby. First we worked together and got our boat ready. Then the teacher told us how to sail. I was a bit nervous but I tried anyway and it was a lot of fun. I almost fall out. But I was ok. This field trip was awesome! And cold. :) Hope you will like this slide and check out all of the cool photos.
On the second week, me, Pawin, Billie, and Julia worked together to make the highest uncooked spaghetti tower and to join the spaghetti, we used… MARSHMALLOWS! And in the end the chocolate egg has to balins on the tower for at least 30 seconds. Anyway we started of great. But the marshmallows were really sticky. After some minutes the tower was getting taller… but it fell down. And there was only two minutes left, ONLY TWO! My group was panicking. I was panicking. We were all panicking! We just started building and we didn’t care what it looked like. In the end it looked sooo bad. It was like something you would find in a trash can. But luckily the kinder surprise chocolate egg balanced on our short and ugly tower. And…
This Week in Rimu we have been learning about YAldhurst model school HERO’S. so we did a video about being a yms hero we did give everything ago and including people, hope you like our video!
