Sprinting by Jacqueline

I am Jacqueline, I was over in the fields next to hub nine being a reporter, I saw determined faces. Parents were standing next to the running lines looking eagerly and happily at their kids and other kids. Thinking thoughts like what places would their kids come in? The lines were painted white on grass.  I was asking a few pupil questions as being a reporter and these are the pupil I asked questions to.

"Do you think you’ll win?"  I asked? Madi replied confidently, "Yes!"

Olivia Hub 8 was asked if she had any tips for sprinting. She replied "Looking in the distance" helps her to keep in line. Sofia L was asked "What place did you come?" Sofia  replied "I tied with Mashara". Emma Re said that she was determined in response to  “What learner quality did you use?”  Erica Hub 8 also said that she was “Determined”.

Introducing our athletics day reporters

Today is a great day for Stonefields Athletics.
It is an overcast day with the sun fighting to come out from the clouds.  All the Y0-2 learners are currently out in the field participating in athletics day.

Hub 9 Year 3 learners are also 'out in the field' but for a different reason. Today they are our online bloggers.

They have splintered into groups of 4 and are out capturing all the highlights from the day.

Stay tuned for more fast breaking athletics stories...

Our amazing Movie Presenters

Jacqueline and Dinesan did an amazing job presenting our movie: How to be a CyberSmart Ninja at the 2015 Manaiakalani Film Festival.

Not only were these two convincing actors in our movie, they also showed what excellent presenters they were by writing their own scripts to introduce our film.

Tino pai!  We are so proud of them and look forward to seeing what 'on screen' and 'on stage' adventures they have in the near future.

Being a CyberSmart Ninja - Manaiakalani Film Festival Entry

Being a CyberSmart Ninja

Hub 9 learners were inspired to share their amazing cybersmart skills that they learned with Mrs Grant every Monday.  We decided that we wanted to become CyberSmart Ninjas and thought about how we might do that.

Are you a CyberSmart Ninja?  Your online choices will decide your destiny.

Thanks for watching.  We hope you enjoyed it.  Please leave a comment.

Creating a smart footprint

We have been learning to make smart decisions about what personal information we share online. To help us we explored the blogs of other learners in Manaiakalani Schools to see what kinds of information they are sharing online. We recorded our ideas and screenshots in our Google Drive. Mia M and Jacqueline's slides are below. What kinds of information can you see?

First Time Swimming

By Jacqueline   

The pool I went to was called WATER BOOM!!! The pool was in Jakarta. When I got in the the pool it was freezing. I did not have a kick board. I was only a swimming beginner. So that means this was the first time I was in the pool. My mum and dad were only watching me but they were not HELPING ME!!!!!!!! I was going down a giant water  slide so I remembered that I was only a swimming beginner then realised I could not swim. When I got to the end of the pool I quickly held on to the side of the slide and stopped myself. Then It was time for me to be determined and swim. So I let go of the side and what do you think was gonna happen? Well I zoomed down then I went in the water suddenly I quickly drowned. Then I did not know how to do this but I blew my first bubble. I blew the bubble because I was kind of thinking of a silly idea but I thought that a bubble could fly me up to the sky and put me to land again. But then I was out of air and my eyes closed automatically. Actually the first thing I could only do is sink. Then a life saver saved me. But I still couldn't  open my eyes. 20 minutes later I finished showering. I got sick I still could not open my eyes but I coughed a lot. Then I started to open my eyes slowly it still looked a little bit blurred. I felt still scared of going swimming ever again. It sounded like I was coughing. Well when I thought I was never going swimming again well that wasn't going to happen week after week I started to have swimming lessons every Saturday. The thing I do best in swimming is free style. I do the best at free style because I like to do swimming my own way!

Anzac Day

Last Friday at Stonefields school we did an Anzac day celebration. It all started when it was April 1 of my favorite months it was a perfect day to do a Anzac day celebration. First, we sat on the mat and Miss Brand was called Brigadier Brand and Miss Harduar was called General Harduar.  Then, Miss Cocroft was called commander cocroft. Last but not least Miss purcell was Brigadier purcell. Then we were split into groups we also had a name for our groups. My favorite part of my was baking we first had to wash our hands. Then we each had an sheet of 1 ingredient then Brigadier brand gave us the ingredients it was sugar,corn flakes, Then we put them all together when we were done mixing them we had to get a spoon and take some and put it into a small ball then we putted it into a tray and squashed it then we had to wash our hands again so after 10 minutes we just finished washing our hands. So then Brigadier Brand told us that we were going to be in for a treat. So then she said that we should tidy up so after we tidied up. It was time for a treat it was A wait for it IT WAS A ANZAC COOKIE!!

It was a fantabulous day the cookies were hexcellent!!!!

They tasted so nice that they made my stomach roll and groen and it also made my stomach rumbled so loud that my brain heard it and  bursted into laughter
