My memories

My Best Memories.

Hello again. My favourite memories at RichmondSchool  were cycle safety, top team challenge, can sail, flick It on challenge, science investigation, learning my times tables especially my thirteen times tables and going to clip and climb. I have learnt that I am awesome because I'm awesome. I enjoyed the swimming lessons because I learnt how to swim better. We had some awesome days like Daffodil day,Red Nose and Dress up Day were awesome days.

It was awesome when we went to the CBS arena and we played the ukulele. We have use Garage Band with our ukulele teacher matua Paul, he teaches us how to play the ukulele.

 Some of the other things we have done have been Koi Te Hinengaro, we went to Shirley intermediate for a pool party, Mine craft making houses, villages and mansions and swimming lessons at Jellie Park.

I am good at maths, I can spell because I'm the third best speller. On  studyladder I'm the best on the new World Series when I battle other people in the world, on the old World Series I'm the best at it.

My conclusion is that it's true that I'm the third best at spelling and I actually know my thirteen times tables.

THE END.  <>_<>

              

    

                                         

Richmond school gala

Richmond Celebration Gala 

On Friday 8 November Richmond School held their Gala Celebrations. We were celebrating and thanking our community for all their support over the years.

A lot of people came to celebrate and have fun, there were heaps of fun stuff to do like skateboarding, going on the bouncy castle, an obstacle course and driving a jeep. 

There was food, drinks and ice blocks. Everything was free, like sausage sizzle, tea and coffee, bacon butties, fruit and meat pattie sandwiches.

My mum, dad, sister, cousin, baby nephew, John and I came to the gala, it was awesome. My favourite food was the sausage sizzle. The obstacle course was my favourite thing to do.

We got popcorn, candy floss and ice blocks to eat. 

My baby nephew Tobias was slapping and pulling my hair, so I took him to the bouncy castle.

This school was built in eighteen seventy five to two thousand and thirteen, so it has been here for one hundred and thirty eight years. 

My conclusion is that I thought that it would be awesome celebration and it was good

Flick It On Challenge

My class and I have been making a movie with four different time zones. The time zones are Pre-European, Early European, Present and in the Future. The people who were filmed in the Early European scene were Connor, Tom and Jakita. Those who were in the second scene were John, Salote, Jakita and I. The last film scene was taken in our ICT Room, the actors were Michael, Ashleen, Rishap and Kamai.

Flick it on challenge is a film making challenges that we have done. When we did our movies we made it a silent movie and it was awesome. The scenes I liked was the present and the future, some of the films were funny like the future and the early European, I was in the second film doing pretty much nothing really, I was only waving the flax around.

At FerryMead Tom, Jakita and Connor got filmed there, Salote, Jakita, John and I got filmed at Willow Bank and it was weird, for the present I filmed room two and for the future I filmed for Michael, Rishap and I filmed for myself aswell.

I've enjoyed doing it and have learnt about how school has changed.

Ukulele concert two

Last Wednesday on the eighteenth of September we had our ukulele concert and our parents came. The songs that we were playing were playing was Wimoweh, that's aotearoa, Le Aute, Nga iwi E, count on me, paradise and How Maui Slowed The Sun. My mum came to the concert, my favourite songs were paradise, count on me and Nga iwi E. we played those songs on the ukulele, my favourite song playing the ukulele the most was count on me because I know that song really well but the easiest song was that's Aotearoa because you only need to play the chords f and c7.

Our school played ukulele just like other schools but some other schools played the recorder and marimbas. There was also a band and a violinist. We really enjoyed the concert.

Swimming lessons

This week to the two weeks after we are doing swimming lessons with the whole school. Yesterday we did some lessons for swimming it was really fun and I was the first one to finish every thing way before after

K.T.H

K.T.H is our Koi Te Hinenaro  programme that we used to do. now we don't do it any more. K.T.H was  awesome because I'm awesome. I was doing Hip-hop. I learnt heaps of stuff in hip-hop like really  much a d it was awesome like me.

My conclusion is that I am good at it and I'm awesome

New school visit

On the 5 of September we visited Linwood North. Their student council gave us a tour around the school. The principal is Mrs Smith and my tour guide was Ethan.
I like Linwood North school is awesome.  The room I am in is room 9 with Michael.  Riley is in room 6 for two terms and in room 9 with Michael and I for two terms.

Noa is in Johns class - room 10. John and Noa is next door to us. Michael and I had heaps and heaps of fun, we definitely are going there because it is not merging and by merging I mean closing down. 

My conclusion is that I think it will be awesome.

Mine craft building company

Mine craft BUilding Company.

Using MInecraft we have had to build a classroom for the Christchurch City Council. The classroom will be built in 2014, when some of the schools are merged. So we have designed and built classrooms on Minecraft.

We have the Minecraft pocket edition pack which is the full version of Minecraft. I like the full version of Minecraft because we get to build class rooms for ten to fifteen children to fit in the class room. It needs two exits for earth quakes. I put my house on three trees and my house is really awesome.

My house is going to be the same as my class room. I am really excited about Minecraft but we have to be really clear about the brief and our class room designs and that we can build pretty much  what ever you want as long as it meets the brief.

You can build your house or class room anywhere pretty much except under ground you can definitely build your there but you need windows even under ground you need windows  there.

My conclusion is people that know about mine craft they should know what to do

Red Nose Day

Today it is red nose and we have had a red dress up day at Richmond School. It's been. We have had a lot of fun wearing our red noses and we have fund raised $200 for a really good course. It was a good day.

Last Friday

Last Friday I went to the library for garage Band, we learnt how to make a song and how to record it on our iPads. We recorded ourselves as we played the ukulele at the same time. So we recorded our selves playing and we were supposed to sing some words but did not. 

We helped Pafuti sing This Old Man, we helped Kelly sing the same song This Old Man. Matua Paul was helping us and at the end of the day and lesson we got to see matua Paul's saxaphone.

Ukulele concert

Yesterday we had our ukulele concert at two thirty in the afternoon. Parents came and watch us play the songs Y.M.C.A, We Will Rock You and Don't Worry Be Happy. 

My favourite songs are Y.M.C.A and We Will Rock You. For YMCA the chords are C.AM.F.G and for We Will Rock You, you need to play just the AM chord which is the green chord, C  is red, G is all the yellow stickers and F is blue and green.

The person who was leading was Matua Paul, he is the teacher and we are the learners.

Maths

For maths we have completed a work sheet with times tables but for Tom and Rishap they had to do addition. The lane we had to do we the lane B, it had like about twenty times on it.

The Last Week of Term 2

We have a really fun week planned for this week because it is the last week of the term.  This Friday we are having a special art lesson. On Thursday we are going to Shirley boys high school to watch a play. Tomorrow we get a free sausage because we won the Deal or No Deal at Hui on Monday. The competitors were Tasha, Shyrea and Michael. Michael got room 3 a sausage sizzle, room one got an on to it sticker and room two got to select a duffy book.
