2020 Morning, Assembly and Reports.

Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. Today is Friday in the morning and there are 2 more days of school, Monday and Tuesday, until 2021. I was so excited because 3 days ago we have been practising choir. We are doing 2 Christmas songs. I got ready as quick as I could and looked the best I could. 

Then we got to school. I was pretty sure that the assembly was going to be at the end of the day but my mum suggested that we ask anyway and then my teacher said that it was in the morning at 9:15. I was shocked. My mum had to go home and change but the time she got back to school the chairs were full and there was no space to sit. So she had to go home. I was so sad but that didn’t ruin my amazing day. We were at the assembly for 1 hour 15 minutes. I thought it was going to be boring but it was so amazing. After like…… 10 minutes I got an Academic Award, then after 2 minutes I got a Musical Award. Then it was the Trusted Trekkers for 2021. I thought that won’t get to be one of them but they called my name! For a second I thought that they were meaning a different Sadiyah. Anyways, I am going to be a Trusted Trekker for next year! Then it was the end of the day.

At the end of the day we got our report cards and an envelope that has our room number and teacher's name on it for next year. I was so excited to see. They gave us a random book and a 2021 calendar. When I got in the car I opened the stuff and I had my favourite teacher. I screamed so loud that my mum got scared, (she never gets scared.)

That was my favourite day of my new school life.

Fun Run Interviews

 Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. We are doing interviews about the Fun Run. Hope you enjoy.

Athletics and Sprints

Hello readers and welcome to back to my blog. For the past couple of days we have been doing Athletics. This week Wednesday it was the last day of Athletics but I didn't come first place in long jump, high jump, discus, distance running, shot put and sprints. For sprints, we didn't do sprints because it was raining. We did an even more fun activity. Anyway.

This week Thursday the whole school did sprints. It went from year 1's, years 2's, year 3's, year 4's' year 5's and then year 6's. My first race I came 2nd and the other girl beat me by teeny weeny bit. The people that come 1st, 2nd and 3rd place they get into the finals. So me, Emily, Love, Kelis, Leala and Angel got into the finals. I came 3rd place in the finals. I was so nervous about getting into zones because I thought that we had to play touch or rugby or that kind of stuff. Then Mr Taylor was handing out the forms for the people who got into zones. Me, Emily and Angel got notices. I asked Emily what we were going to do there and she said sprints. My paper said 60 metres of running, Emily's one said 80 metres and Angels one said 1000 metres. I was so confused because Angel came 3rd and she had the most metres. I came 2nd and I had the least metres. Anyways, I asked my mum and she said I can go to zones. I was so excited. 

That is the end of my story. Hope you like it. Leave a comment please. Feel free to ask any questions.

Raisin Moment In Time

Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. The whole class had to use their senses and they had to use it on a raisin. We had to smell it, hear it, feel it, see, and taste it. Here is my story. Hop you like it. Feel free to ask any questions, please give me some advice if you have some.

Mrs Mclachlan is unwrapping the big raisin box and I know that it is plastic, it is so annoying and painful. The shake of the box sounds like little mice wanting to get out. The opening of the box sounds like 2 quick clicks. I have a raisin in my hand right now. It looks like a small kid's pancake because it is not a perfect circle. It is brown and red-ish like Autumn leaves. It is really lumpy and squishy too.  It smells like oil. It feels lumpy, squishy, small and wrinkly. It is soft as a pillow. I want to squeeze everything out of it but I can’t. Mrs Mclachlan said we can eat it after we smelt it, heard it, saw it and felt it. It tastes like sweet candy, it is really sweet.

Sadiyah's Wonderful World Of Poetry

Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. I have been working on different kinds of poems. These are them and hope you like them. Feel free to ask any question.

First Swimming Session for Term 4

Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. Today we had our first swimming session at Canterbury swim school. We had to get into groups and 1 group has one lane to practice on. They had 2 pools with some lanes. 1 pool was warm and the other was cold. Our group was in the warm pool. Each group had one swimming instructor.  The instructors name is Huia and he was a man. We learnt how to swim.

1. First we had to get boards.

2. We had to practice how to make big circles with our arms.

3. Once we got the circles, the instructor showed us how to breath while swimming. Stand on the floor, keep your right ear on your shoulder, take a deep breath, then put your head in the water, then blow bubbles for 4 seconds. Then you can come back up and do the same thing again. 

4. After we learnt that we had to practice doing the circles and the blowing bubbles at the same time but you had to walk.

5. Then we were doing the real thing and started doing kicking.

6. I was kind of doing it wrong so the instructor helped me for a while. He said I was a quick learner. 

7. After a while I got it and we went into the cold side which was longer. The instructor was holding the end of our boards and was slowly pushing us to the end of the pool. I went all the way without stopping. 

I loved our first session!

My 10th Birthday

 Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. 6 days ago was my birthday and I got a lot of presents. There were only 2 packages but there were a lot of things in there. Lots of people came to our house. We invited our neighbours to come, Kev, Kelly, Chloe, Kaiden, my cousins that live 3 minutes away from our house and they bought us a cake from The CheeseCake Shop, Ahyan, Asheem and their mum, other people came and they live 1 minute away from our house, Zara, her mum and dad, my cousins that live in Ashburton, my grandma, my little cousin Sameeha and her mum and dad.  Sameeha and them brought me a package that had 3 dresses, one dress had a bonus matching scrunchie. The dress and scrunchie was dark green with little white flowers. One of the dresses was white with orange, green, and big flowers. The last dress is fully peach with a daisy. The package also had a white pop socket for my phone. It had white little stars, little moons and white glitter. But my phone case wasn’t white so I swapped it for my sister’s one which was light purple with the exact same stuff in it. But it was all purple. They also gave me black pants. They also gave me 7 scrunchies now I think I have 16, 17 or 18 scrunchies all together. They gave my sister and my brother some gifts too because they didn’t want to be mean. They gave my mum a box of 4 different coloured perfumes. Ahyan’s mum bought me and my mum diaries. It was Disney related. My birthday was so fun!

Student Summit

Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. Our whole class get's to do Student Summit so we are really lucky. Student Summit is really fun, there are 4 sessions and there are different presentations. There is Mihi Maker, How to use Prezi, Bitable, Canva, Pixton Comics, Suped-up Slides, Easel.ly, Stop-Motion, Storyboard That, Marvellous Miro, Embedding Blogs, Creative and Unscreen and Removed. There are a lot. We had to press on the link that we were in and then it would take us to google meet. There will be 2 or 3 people that will be talking and teaching and those people made their presentation. After we are done the meet we have to fill out a reflection, like a form. We have to right in it what we think of it, how they made it to teach us, when we will use the toolkit and what they can do to improve it.  

1.Session 1 was Mihi Maker, the people that made Mihi Maker was Mikaylah and Taimana. I really liked that one because they teached me how to make a pepeha and remember it. I think they made a animation. They did make 1 tiny mistake and that was spelling, they spelled figure into finger. For the first question, I said I like it, for the second, I said with a animation, for the third  I said when I am ready to make a pepeha and for the last I said just fix the finger word. 

2. Session 2 was Easel.ly. The people that were making this presentation were Grace and Abby from another school. Easel.ly is a really cool app, you can make posters or anything. I really liked that one because I can do that now when I get bored. For the first question I said I really liked it, for the next I said they went on Easel.ly, for the third I said when I am bored and for the last I said nothing. 

3. For session 3 was Embedding Blogs, I really liked it because I can do more stuff to my blog, and they didn't make any mistakes. 

4. Session 4 was Mihi Maker again so I said the same things. I don't know why I got into the Mihi Maker again but I am really pleased to do the Summit.

The Rule of Three

Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. In our class we have been learning about The Rule Of Three. We had to create a DLO (Digital Learning Object) and right about 1 or 2 stories. My stories are The Three Little Pigs and The Three Little Bears. We had to right everything that has three things in it. Like the porridges, chairs, beds, bears, the pigs, houses and materials. Hope you like them and feel free to ask any questions.

Term 3 Holidays On Tuesday

Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. Today I will be telling you about my amazing Term 3 school holidays. On the last week of the school holidays I went to a lot of places from Tuesday to Saturday. We went to a lot of fun places with my cousins. On Tuesday we went to The Antarctic Centre to see the cute penguins and the snow husky's. The husky's were really hyper and energetic. They were so fluffy and we got to touch one of them. There were 3, the husky colours were.... one was kind of ginger, and there was 2 white and black ones. We got to see the ginger husky play with the owner in the snow place. As soon as he got untied from his leash he started running like a cheetah all around the place. There were 2 yellow quart bikes ad we took a lot of pictures on them. After a while the husky needed to pee and we saw its pee. It was disgusting and yellow. Anyway, There were a lot of penguins and penguin bones there. Most of the penguins were rescued. The penguin pro went inside the penguin place and we got to see her feed them, while she was feeding them she told us the names and how they got rescued or how they found them. She told us what they are like so if they are deaf, blind or scared of people. It was really cool over there. When we were getting back to our car we saw people going for rides in truck rides and we begged our mum if we could go. Guess what, She said yes! So we got into the truck and the driver said be careful for your head. One of my cousins bumped his head, he he. His name is Asheem and the other is Ahyan. The driver said hold tight, this is going to be a bumpy ride, he also told my sister, Siddiqah, to sit right at the back facing the doors. She wanted to sit by my mum. When the ride started we knew why she had to sit at the back. It was really bumpy and dangerous. We went on a huge ramp, on tyres, we went on wood but it was only for the tyres of the truck. We bumped our heads a lot of times but we survived. We had a little bit of time to play around so we went on the huge smooth hill and we saw the 3 huskys sitting in their cage. My brother, Saad got a great picture of one of the huskys face. Ok, that was the first day of fun. The next is going to be on another blog post. Feel free to ask any questions.

Spelling

Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. Today I will be sharing with you my spelling that we have been doing in class. There are 7 activities that you can do. The one that you have to do is right 10 words and practise them. First one is Silly Sentences. You have to right a silly sentence that includes some of your words that you have to learn. Next one is Colour Your Word. You have to colour your word in different colours. Next one is Chop It Up. You have to right your words and then chop it up in syllables. Next one is Vowel Hunt. You have to write out your spelling words then colour the vowels your favourite colour. Next one is Add It Up. Now this one is confusing because you have to add numbers up, that's what we do in maths right, the vowels are 5 points and the consonants are 10 points. Then you have to right down a word, for example, brother, it would be 10+10+5+10+10+5+10=60. That's how you do Add It Up. Lucky last, Flash It Up. You have to write your words in a artsy or fancy way. I didn't do this one because I forgot but I hope you like the others that I did. There is another Blog Post that shows you the slides so you can check that out. Feel free to ask any questions.

Genially

Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. Today I will be sharing with you my Genially work that we have been doing in class with the Polar bears. It is about Character Descriptions. Our story is Cinderella. We had to find any picture and then put it on Genially. Then we had to get the plus button and write evidence from the text that describes the characters. The characters I did were Cinderella and her stepsisters. If you just press the arrow on the right then you will see the stepsister picture. Here is Mine.

Blue Box Activity

 Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. Today I will be telling you about one of my reading activities that everyone in my class can do. It is called the Blue Box. There are a lot of different colours, there is Sky, Ocean, Mist, Lime, Turquoise, Yellow, Amber, Orange, Tan, Coral, Sunset, Red, Mauve, Lavender and Silver. It goes easy to hard. Guess what colour I'm on? I am on the third colour of the rainbow which is Yellow! When we started to do Blue Box I wasn't here so that's why I am really low and I was expecting to be on Tan or Coral but it is OK. Anyway, each colour there is 10 different cards and I am deciding to go from 1-10 because it is way more easier. Then there is a lot of answer sheets so first you read the story, next there is 20 questions so you have to answer them in your answer sheet on your Chromebook. When you think you are done you grab the right answers and check if your answers are right. (You have to be honest). The answers you get right, you have to highlight them green and the answers you get wrong you highlight them red. Thank you for reading readers. Feel free to ask any questions.

Kawa Care charging Your Chromebook

 Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. In our class we have been learning about Kawa Care. If you don't know what that is, it is taking care of your Chromebook. There is a lot of ways to take care of your Chromebook. Like.....don't eat beside your Chromebook, don't leave your Chromebook on the edge of a table if you are sitting a one, always charge your Chromebook before you go to sleep, don't leave it on the floor because someone can step on it, always zip your Chromebook case when you are out of the house, especially when it is raining and lucky last, if you have a case with no pockets for your charger don't put your charger on your keyboard, it's just going to break. If you do one of those things and you send it away to the people who fix devices, they can easily tell if you have done some of those things. If your device it dirty and the keys are picked off then they won't give you any insurance. Here is a picture of me remembering to put my charger on before I go to sleep.

Snapshot, Show, Don't Tell

Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. We have been trying to finish this story in our class and I is finally finished. This type of writing is Show, Don't Tell. Show, Don't Tell is that you have to show your feelings and not tell them. For example: I am so scared. That is telling your feelings. You will find the showing part in the story. Hope you enjoy. 

On Tuesday, I went on a hike with my friends at Castle Hill. Castle Hill is a place

that is right next to the snowy mountains. When we went there, there was a lot

of mud and we kept slipping. It had a lot of dry and tall grass. We call them forests.

There were also a lot of little cliffs and graves. That is where we went. My friends were

off and they didn’t tell me that there were dead bodies behind me! When they started

to run I asked them “why are you running”? But they couldn’t hear me. When I looked

behind me, I SCREAMED! I started trying to sprint like a cheetah and couldn’t stop.

I couldn’t believe my eyes and had pterodactyls in my stomach. My arms were swinging

to my face then down to my pockets, my heart was beating really really fast like an

untamed, galloping and wild horse. There were a bunch of dead heads and dead bodies

walking towards me.  I felt like I wanted a gun and shoot them, I thought that day was

the end of my life. My feet were paining and trying to keep going, it felt like it needed

a good massage. I had sweat all over my body and couldn’t close my mouth. I felt like I

was in my brother’s 800 metre stadium and I had to beat him. He felt like he was going

to faint and I felt the same. My feet were covered in mud and sweat. My chest was

hurting and I thought I needed my asthma pump, I couldn’t breathe properly. I tried to

be calm and just not worry about it but I couldn’t, they were ZOMBIES! I mean how can

you not forget that you have Zombies behind you. That was the scariest day of my life. 

ScartchJr Game

Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. We had a special guest come in called Emma and she taught us how to use ScratchJr and how to create a game on it. It was really fun. She also taught us how to program our sprites which is the characters and how to debug things. I felt so excited and I think I am going to make one at home and challenge my brother on it. Here is a Screencastify of me playing the game.

You have to press the rocket to move it down so it doesn't touch the other sprites. If it touches one of the sprites it will explode. Feel free to ask any questions.

The Present Story

Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. We have been working on The Present story and we finally finished. I am the dog in the story. Hope you enjoy.

Ooh, I think I heard some shooting but I can’t see it because I’m inside a very very dark box. I hope the girl or boy is going to play with me a lot. The mum must take me out of the box. Now I hear some talking, It sounds like the mum telling the boy or girl something. I see some light, I think they are opening the box. At least one of my legs survived in the box. They hurt so much and they are cramped. Who cares? Yes! It’s a boy! His mouth is smiley and he looks surprised. I think he saw my leg and likes it. Why is his eyebrows scrunched up? He also looks angry. Ahhhhh! He threw me. Why did the boy say “she’s gotta be kidding me?” That's very rude of him. THUD! OUCH! That hurt you know. It doesn’t matter, I will try again. Can we please play? He kicked me again and said “get lost!” But wait, that scratch feels so amazing. Wait is that a ball over there and even better it’s red. It is so round and shiny. It looks like a clown's nose. Can we at least play with this instead of your stupid TV. Ooh, he’s kind of playing with me because he kicked the ball instead of throwing it and he looks mad. You know, who cares, I’m going to be the fastest dog in the world and get the ball. Wait am I in the tiny and dark box again. Wait, no ones holding me so that means that I trapped myself. Ahhhhhhhh! That boy probably doesn’t care though. Ok, let’s try to get out of here. Ouch that hurt, please can someone get me out of here….. finally I see light but where’s the clown’s nose. Oh there it is. Is he looking at me? Oh, I’m pretty sure that he wants to play with me. Let’s go then, why do I keep falling so easily? Ok, we are here, do you want to play with me? While he is thinking about it I’m going to make sure I don’t have any itch’s because I don’t want to waste my play time. I got it right! He grabbed the ball and that means that he wants to play with me. He is really smiley too. He has a missing leg like me, great we have the same kind of legs and we are best friends! What is he doing and what are those yellow things? Is that crutches? Yes! He is playing with me and outside is the best place to play. Let's just push the door open for my beautiful friend. I want to play fetch, thank you. This is the best day of my life!

 

Vocabulary

Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. Today I will be telling you about one of the reading activities that we have to do and that is vocabulary words. Those are words of the week. For this week we had Hesitant and Elated. First thing we have to do is right the word down, next is right the meaning of the word, then a synonym of the word, then you have to use the word in a sentence and last thing is you have to  put a picture from google. Hesitant means uncertain or undecided, synonym is unsure or doubtful, the sentence is "I am hesitant if I'm going to my cousins house or not". The picture is 

         

 

Next word, the definition of it is happy and joyful, the synonym is thrilled and exhilarated, the sentence is "I am elated to go to my cousins house", the picture is 

and that is my vocabulary for this week. Is there any advice?

 

Toy Inventions

Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. Today I will be sharing with you what we have been making in our class. IT IS OUR FAVOURITE TOY! We have to work in buddies obviously because we can not make it ourselves. My buddy is Lily and we were going to make a panda money box, but it was too hard and we decided to make a panda bookmark instead. It is going to be so cute, at least. We have to work really fast because it is the last day of term. It kind of doesn't matter because I am making one at home and my brother is helping me. Our invention is not really a toy though. It doesn't matter. If you want to make one here is a link.Panda Bookmark. I really feel good about it right now. Thank you for reading.

Kakapo Digital Learning Object (DLO)

Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. In reading we have been learning about Kakapo's and our main thing was how to help the Kakapos. We could make it however we wanted to make it. The choices we had was a slideshow, an animation, and a google doc. Here is the link to the site. I really like my work and my favourite part was the pictures. I made a slideshow. Please tell me how you feel about it and what I could add. Feel free to ask questions.

   

Kumon

Hello guys and welcome back to my blog. Today I will be telling you guys about the new classes that me, my sister an my brother are taking, especially my brother. There is a place called Kumon, it's this maths place where a Malaysian lady teaches maths or teaching you what you have already learnt but quicker. She is so nice to us, OK, so, it was her time to go home so we were late but guess what, she stayed to help us. It was so quiet ans creepy in there. It looked like a haunted, old hall. The toilets were creepy too. Today when we went there we got free Kumon bags, the ones that have straps. She said that only people that get enrolled gets a bag but my brother wasn't enrolled and she still gave it to him, us too! There is too kinds of bags. The older people can get a small one. It is blue and black. the younger people can get a yellow, blue and dark blue one. I saw all the people with the yellow, blue and dark blue one but you can choose. She said it only costs $5 so she gave to us for free. Today we also brought our Heelies because last time we didn't know that there would be smooth wood. We thought that we could ride it but we couldn't because we came just in time, people were still there. HUH. We couldn't distract them so we just rode them around our table. That's all the things I can tell you about Kumon. Thank you for reading.

Week 11 Acrostic Poem

We learnt about colour poem and acrostic poems. Acrostic poems are poems in which the first letter of each line spells out a word or a message about the topic.

Term 2 Colour Poetry

Hi guys, I have been doing a colour poetry with my class, I hope you like it.

returning to school

Hi guys, I am going to share with you my first draft about Returning To School. My writing is about how I was feeling going back to school. I am really happy about my writing but is there anything that I can improve in my writing?

Corona Virus

Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. Today I will be talking about the Corona Virus but if you don’t want to hear about those things, you don’t have to. So I am pretty sure most people around the world are on a Lockdown but if I’m wrong then I don’t know because I am. Anyways people are getting really sick, I knew that when it was February and that time we weren’t at Christchurch. But it’s not about when I knew about it. I just don’t like how it’s spreading all around the world. It’s just so bad. When I watch YouTube I see people talking about it and they say that they are also on Lockdown. It’s kind of good because we still get to go outside and play. “Please stay safe.” everyone says. So please also listen to them. New Zealand has over 1000 cases now so it’s getting really bad. Don’t worry I do care about the other countries. Like my favourite aunt is living in Australia and they have lots of cases and I am worried about them because there's no Lockdown.

WAREHOUSE!!!

Hi people, I have been writing this story so I can get better at my writing skills.
It's about Warehouse. Hope you enjoy. 10/3/20. Warehouse!!!                                             

Yesterday me, my little sister, my mum and Aunty went to the Warehouse!!! We went
there so we could buy house things for our new house. We only needed two trolleys
because if we didn't have anything at our old house we needed more than 3 or 4
trolleys but we didn't. All our stuff is hopefully going to come on Thursday or Friday.
I can't wait!!! I wanted something to play with at our new house so we kept asking
our mum for some colouring and writing stuff. My sister nearly cried because she
couldn't find any cheap writing stuff. First we saw some LOLS but they were $25
and $19, they were too expensive. My aunty and mum had enough money to buy the
house stuff though. But we found some cheap stuff so we’re lucky. My little sister
found a writing thing that has 2 paper clips, a note writing thing, a pencil, a drawing
thing and a writing book. Her one is cool but I got this art thing that has different
colour gems and glitter so I think my one is better than hers. I'm not going to let
her use it because she is just going to waste all the glitter and she'll want  to use
all the gems. I'm not going to open my art thing until we move into the rented house.
