Music Home learning

I have been busy practicing my keyboard a lot lately. It is coming to the end of my keyboard lessons this year. Every year the Christchurch Music Academy puts on a Christmas concert. I am playing in this.

I am playing a solo called 'Struttin’. It is a jazz piece. I really like it. I will also be playing a duet with another kid that learns there. It is called Slow Blues.

I am also playing at another concert on the same day. It is for Mum's orchestra. Mum will be playing the duet with me and I will play some other tunes too like Jingle Bells.

What do you love?

It is harder to take photos of a black cat because the details don't show up as well. Bella is easier to take photos of because she is a more brightly coloured cat. Animals are difficult to take photos of because they move around alot.

The Junk yard

She is an old lady and she is wrapped in scarves and glasses.

Clink, clank, clunk as something flies through the air. An old lady was searching through the ranch at the dump.

She found a Teapot and she threw it over her back then she found her broken yellow umbrella with holes.

She kept looking and she found a rusty  old tin can and then she put into her trolley.

( Who would want a rusty old tin can?)

She kept looking in things and behind things and she found a cardboard box and some fake bird’s and her eyes rested up and she had an Idea.

She kept on looking and Looking and finally she found a car. So she stopped and had a look.

She sat in it and had a play and the old lady saw a hanging Christmas tree that was an air freshener and  she sniffed it and the seat fell back. There was something interesting behind it too.

IT was treasure.  So the old Lady picked it up and had a look and then opened the box with holes and flowers on it.

She opened it up and it had a ring and lot’s of jewellery in it.  The rings shimmering like the sun. (It was a jewellery box.)  She open her eyes even more as she had an Idea. In amazement.

Then she walked back home to the end of the rubbish tip with her trolley. Then she lit her candle and hung an umbrella to a steel bar in her roof.  (How would like a broken umbrella in there house?)

Then she hung up the mobile birds, then she put a old rusty can on the candle. Then hangs up the tree’s and hangs up the ring.

The Old lady looks around and sit’s in the seat in joy.

Family Chores

Family Chores

This is a list of the things I plan to help with over the past 4 weeks:

• Vacuuming
• Clean bench
• Cat help
• Clean device screens
• Fold towels
• Get breakfast things out

At the end of the 4 weeks Mum is going to make a comment about how well I did.

Mum’s comment:

Over the last few weeks Jayden has been a big help. He was especially helpful when Fergus and I went away for the weekend and when I was away for a few days.

He enjoys doing the vacuuming and actually does it quite well. He even had to vacuum up bird feathers.

Jayden likes things to be clean and regularly wiped down the bench and checked and kept the cat are clean and stocked with cat biscuits.

It has really been a big help in the mornings when Jayden has got the breakfast things out.

Thank you Jayden for helping around the house. It is very much appreciated.

The sims 4

The Sims 4

I play the Sims 4. I like to play the Sims because you can create people build a house and live in it and control them. I have a household at the moment and I have a lot of money.

The best part is that you can have kids and have a big family and build.  It is learning game because you have to do the thing that are in the game in real life. And you learn to save money and pay the power bills.

My Mum likes to play it too.

Cricket

Cricket

On Saturday I play cricket with Sam and other kids that are at my school. I am in Section 3 and that means that we don't use a hard ball (it is like a hard ball but it is a bit softer.) We have just started for the season. We practice on a Friday night.

In our first game of the season I got the first wicket. I bowled someone from the other team out. We played the Weedons Tuis. In that game I got player of the day!

Our second game was at Diamond Harbour. We went with Nathaniel’s Dad and Nathaniel. We played on a grass pitch. I like this ground because the boundaries are really small. I whacked a 4.

I like playing cricket. It is fun because I like getting lots of runs and bowling people out.

Pet Day 2017

Say Happy Birthday to Bella for last weekend.

Bella is a Female Tabby cat. When Bella is looking at something interesting she stands up on her two back legs and looks like a meerkat.

When Bella gets her dinner or breakfast she likes licking the gravy. Bella loves to eat cat treats. For Bella’s breakfast we give her wet meat and for dinner we give her wet meat and Science Diet biscuits that are good for her teeth .I fill up her water whenever the water gets low.

Bella likes sleeping on my bed(even though she isn’t really allowed to).

We take Bella to the vet sometimes for a checkup and to have her flea and worm treatments.

It was Bella’s birthday on the 29/10/2017 and she turned two. We had a cake for her.

Bella is an outgoing cat and she loves catching birds with her sister. After she has caught the bird she will bring it inside so she can show us.

I love Bella and she loves me too. She follows me around everywhere and puts her arms around my neck and gives me cuddles.

My 100th blog post

MY 100 blog post!!!!!!

On 5/11/2017 I got my 100 blog post.

I have learnt heaps of things this term about blogging and a lot of other stuff.

I know all of the key codes and key shortcuts like ctrl c ctrl v.

Last term I needed to work on spelling and now I am quite good with spelling.

Sometimes I have to delete things when I help kids in our class even though they don't want it to be deleted.

Like all of the kids in my class  are always coming and asking for help.

I like helping kids in my class.

Adventure time

Once upon time there was a little boy named Draco and he liked to go no adventures in the Forest and find things like endangered animals. He lives by himself at his tree house on the side of the Forest.                               

When he wants to play he calls his dragon that roams around the tree and guards it and his dragon is his friend and he plays with the dragon speaking of witch the dragon name is Fin.      

He plays on fin for fun and fin can breath water out of his mouth and looks really cool from the ground and he uses it for good like growing trees.

Pop went the lid.

“Ahh”as I drunk the black liquid.

Rattle went the coke bottle as it hit the table. “Bang”

Little gardens

Little Gardens

At New World they have Little Gardens. Last year they had them too and they are different ones this year. Mum has been going there lately so we could have them. We have about 9 of them. My two brothers have three each like me.  Sam has planted his three but Ben has not yet.

We have just planted them yesterday. They are going well so far. We have to keep them inside these days so they do not fly away in the wind. I have tomato, kale and basil. I can’t wait to be able to eat the tomato.

(I love tomato.) I have to check them every day to see if they need to be watered or not.

Swimming (Home learning)

Swimming (Home learning)

On a Friday at 4.30pm I have a swimming lesson. I am in aqua five and I heard that I am going up to aqua six next term. We are also switching days next term to a Tuesday.

I did swimming last year and then I stopped and at the end of last year. Mum signed us back up and we were on the waiting list until the end of term two. I started in term three.

In my lessons I do freestyle, backstroke, survival backstroke and breaststroke. At the end of this term I will be doing water safety.

I like backstroke because you are on you back and it is easier to breathe. The only thing that I do not like about backstroke is that I get water up my nose.

I like to do swimming. It is fun to learn to swim.

#There will be some photos to come.

Here is the book for how Maui slowed the sun.

If you go down the page you can see the video if you like too.

How Maui slowed the sun

We have retold the story in a bit of a different way and to do the pictures we used Drawing Pad app and AutoDraw. We took about three days to complete it. We have learnt a lot of new things while making the video. We also used the speaking tool in Book Creator so if someone needs some help with reading it can help them.
