Year 6 year book

My earliest memory at C.S.N.S. was My first day of school. There were 5, kind year 5 girls. They loved to play with me and I always played with them.

I am a successful College Street Kid because I always use the habits of heart and habits of mind and I do my best in everything and I am always getting better at my learning every year.

The highlight of my time at College Street was Year 6 it was the best year because we got to manage our own learning for example we got to choose what we do and when we do it which is really good because if the teacher says you have to do writing now you might not feel like doing it so you won't do as well as you would’ve done if you wanted to do it. Also we got to do stuff that no one else got to do and most of all Room 10 and 11 ( GRI11 ) had the most amazing teachers Miss Gordon and Mr Robertson.

I have been involved in Jrock in year 4 , Go For Gold Drama , Art Club and kapa haka.

The things I will miss most about College Street are all my friends , the amazing teachers and all the different stuff we get to do throughout the year.

Next year I am going to Be moving to Hawke's bay in February next year and will be going to Hawke's bay intermediate

In the future I would like to an Interior and exterior designer or a professional dancer because those are the two things i love to do.

C.S.N.S. Gala

On Sunday the 8.11.15 it was the c.s.n.s. gala and i went with my mum. There was lots of stuff to do at the gala but my favourite things were the cup cake decorating and when Mr Kennedy got water splashed all over him. For the cup cake decorating i made put lots of lollies on it but they didn't stick so i just ate them without the cup cake. The funniest part of the gala for me was when Mr Kennedy was sitting down on a chair and he was thinking that no one would hit the target for the bucket to fall on him but right then someone hit it and it was a 5 year old and Mr Kennedy made a really weird face it was so funny.  

WEEK ONE BACK TO SCHOOL

on Tuesday and Wednesday of week one term 4 our class have been working on our integrated unit witch is EVOLUTION. On Tuesday we made cars that had to run on ballon's and that was the first time we went into the learning pit and F.A.I.Led that means that it was our first attempted in learning we had to get ourself out of it and it was pretty hard. Then on Tuesday had to look at a photo and figure out how to make it. It was made out of paper and we had to cut it but we couldn't cut any peace if the paper out and put it in the bin. Thats when it happened again. It was what happened on Tuesday and it made us work really hard.  

School Holiday Beach House

On the first week of the school holidays my mum and I got to go to a BEACH HOUSE IN WANGANUI and it was really warm when we first arrived. First we unpacked all our stuff. After we had unpacked we went down to the beach which was just up ahead. At the beach there was the sea and then right behind us was a little lake that everyone was playing in so i straight away wanted to go in it. So I did. It was freezing cold then suddenly it dipped down and It was so cold that i almost drowned. I swam to the sand and got out and I didn't want to got in there again. After we had finished at the beach we went home and i had a shower then we went into Wanganui and went to Breakers restaurant for tea. It was yummy. Later we went to Virginia Lake and went for a walk around. it was almost time to go to sleep but first we whached a movie called Annabelle Green Gables part 1 and then one movie turned into 3 the other two were Anne of Green Gables 2 and My Girl 1. Then we went to bed. The next day we went to the beach then went to the warehouse and then to the super market. After we went home and watched My Girl 2 and then went to sleep. Then next day was the last day of being there so we packed up and hopped in the car to go home. On the way home we went to Mc Donald's to get something to eat and then we arrived home and got to see all my family again.

The Mind Lab

Yesterday the 22.09.15 Tuesday Gri11 went to The Mind Lab and we did heaps of activities.

  This activity we had to make cars that we were going to race. For this you had a one piece of card board that had cut up straws on the end of each side. Then you had a 4 CD disc's that you used for the tiers and pieces of foam to hold the tiers on, and then you also had a small motor, some wires with batteries that you had to put together and a little fan to put on the end of the motor. Last of all was tape to stick it all together.

 This is the stop motion animation and here we had a computer and a camera that connected up with the computer and the we had a scene and some toys that we could put there. For this to work you had to just slightly move the characters or else it wont look real. Did you know the Box Trolls movie was done like this.

 Next making music with wires and a computer game this was a cool thing to do. you needed some wires and a little plate with arrows from a computer on it like up, down, left, right and space. this way you could play a computer came with wires.

   This is 3D printing and we all got to design what ever we wanted on the computer and the the printed it out. Some of use got it on the day but the rest of us will het it in term 4.

This is the last one and we also need a motor and some wires with batteries in it for this one too.

these are called scribble bots and we used pens, motors, wires, a plastic cup and some tape.

my group failed a couple of times but the we got it to work it was amazing.

We all had so much fun at The Mind Lab and we are so proud of our selfs that we fund raised for it.
