Main Star - Shantytown Report

Shantytown

On the 29th of October a class of students from Grey Main School Mamaku 1 went on a day trip to Shantytown. There were many extremely excited children getting ready and putting suncream on outside the old site.

When they had gotten inside they went to the old church until they were told “You are going to the old school to get changed”. All the children were waiting in line to get their clothes and get changed into old fashioned boys and girls clothes.

Once they came out the boys learnt it was polite that if you ever walked past a lady or a girl you tip your hat so throughout the rest of the day the boys were tipping their hats.

A day out at Shantytown offers children a look into the past so they can experience how it was like in the old days, it is highly recommendable and enjoyable.

Main Star - Basic Facts

Basic Facts

For this Main Star we had to practise basic facts using two different methods. I practised all the times tables up to 12x for two weeks.

Each day I looked at the questions and answered them using a few different methods on each of them.

Conclusion:

I now know a lot more times tables than I used to and I think this was an awesome Main Star to help with Basic Facts.

This week we have been doing challenges and activities to do with survival. 

Today our group (Kaha) did a challenge against another group. We had to take turns with going to a bucket with a cup, and filling up a container to the top. 

The first group to fill to the top won, our group won because the other team got disqualified.

On the 29th of November the year 5's from M1 and M3 went on a trip to shantytown. Everyone had to wear old boys and girls clothes and we did lots of fun activities. The first thing we did was get changed into the clothes we had to wear, at the old school.

We then had a break and some food, then we learned about the incident that happened to George Dobson. We then went to a holographic theatre and learned more about it. Once we had learned about that we got a train ride to different stops and got to look around.
