My Waitangi trip
WALT reflect on our class trip.
On Tuesday we went to Waitangi and I am going to tell you about it. I went in my parents car so I had a nap in the front of the car. When we got there we went into the learning room where we were going stay most of the time. The guide was called Monika she told us about her self's we then had morning tea. We had a tour of the area and then got showed a big boat called a waka that had carvings and a really big tree trunk. We then went back and got in to two buddies and played on a site called scratch it is a coding site were we had to get a guy from the left side and using code get them to the right. We did that then had lunch. We then played outside in this big meadow and after we did some more coding like how to make the person move using arrow keys We then went home.
Reflection
What did you enjoy?: I enjoyed doing the code were we had to get a guy from the left side and using code get them to the right because it was fun figuring how many steps he had to do and stuff like that.
What did you learn?: How to code in scratch.
Have you been to Waitangi and what did you do?
Kiwi Can
WALT post about our kiwi can experience and how to be accountability.
Today I went to kiwi can and I am going to tell you what I did. When we first got there we learned about accountability and how its Maori week. The first game we played was bang! The rules were stand in a circle the teacher says the name of someone then the people beside them say bang! and they have to duck then the person next to them gets out then we played I did not do so well but I had fun. We played colour run its where the teacher says in Maori, colours and we had to stand on them it was super fun and I came second! We then did traffic lights where the teacher says ether red yellow or green. Green means you run, yellow walk and red stop we played it was alot of fun then we had a game of gkq its where you say a question and you answer by a clap and saying your name. It was fun and it was fun going there.
Reflection

What did you do well?: I think it was the colour run because I came second.
What could you improve on?: Maybe knowing more Maori words because I am not that good.
