Second Intermediate Vist

Hi bloggers, it's Jonathan here and this week we visited intermediate again. This time I found out what class I'm in. The class I'm in is room 12 and the teacher for the class is called Mrs Power, she loves science and coaches a few of intermediates sports team. I'm going to have a friend which I know who is in the same class named Ari (link to his blog).  I can't wait to go to intermediate but I'm also quite sad because I'm going to miss primary school and some of my friends. If you want more information then here's the school website link, which has all of he information about the school: link. Hope you have a great weekend. Blog ya later!

 

BFB (Big foot biking)

 Yesterday I did Big foot biking with my class, it was really fun and I had brought my own bike to use. We learnt how to do a ABCDQ checklist: A is to check the air pressure on the tires, B is for brakes which you to check to see if they stop the bike, C is for checking the chains for any damage, D is to drop the bike to see if the suspension is working (Only drop it a couple of centimetres off the ground), Q is to check if the quick release is out of the way of the wheel. We also learnt how to do a curb rideout. My favorite thing was THE BOX GAME where you have to stay in a shrinking area and have to not crash into some body or put a foot on the ground or you're out. This biking was amazing and learning more was very fun. Now I'm going to ride it a lot more. Here are some photos:

Skateboarding

 Hi everybody it's Jonathan here and I want to tell you about skateboarding. This morning my class got to do skateboarding with two amazing coaches, their names were Ben and Lawrence. We got to learn how to get onto a skateboard, how to do a tic tac, how to carve (turn) and how to crab walk. We found out there are three sections of the board: The deck (middle), the nose (front) and the tail (back). We learnt how to play What's up wolf pack (basically Red light, Green light but with skateboards). Tic tac is when you put weight on the one foot on the tail lifting it up, then turning the foot on the tail and taking away the weight on the tail. Crab walking is basically walking by only using Tic tacing. The sun was shining bright so it wasn't cold outside and learning how to balance on a skateboard helped (most) people not fall over. Here are some photos:

Production (the actual thing)

 Hi it's Geewiz/Jonathan here and this time i'm going to talk about the actual production where I played Geewiz the magician's assistant. Oh yeah... I HAD A BLAST at the show, it felt so amazing performing in front of everyone. My favorite scene was scene 3 where Aladdin found the lamp and met the genie and I had a third camel, the naughtiest of them all. My favorite part of making me Geewiz was the makeup. Back at school we also made a de bono thinking hats slideshow on the production, It basically had the ups and downs. Here are some photos and a link to the slide. 

P.S If you saw the production then tell me what was your favorite scene.

Film Festival 2020

 Last term around the 5th week some of syndicate did Film Festival. Even though I didn't do it I know from friends and classmates, that it was amazing. This year's theme was kindness and 4 films were made: The Lockdown Show (My favorite), The Act of Kindness, The Kindness Comedy and Don't Judge a Book by it's cover. Because of lack of films all of them made it in and the process was hard for the people who did it but it was worth it.  

The Act of kindness is a film where a alien named Beepy-Boppy joins a school, makes quick friends, get's bullied, the bullies get in trouble and the friends go to mars. The kindness comedy is about a kid whose teacher wants her to do a quick job and she trips and gets hurt, she gets found and goes to the sick bay. Now I present my favorite film: The Lockdown Show.

Monoprint

 Hi everyone, this week I finshed doing a monoprint. A monoprint is a type of printing which uses one piece of paper = one chance, it is hard and time consuming and makes your wrist and hand hurt. A lot of monoprints are animals and they are amazing, so we did animals. I did 2 amazing kiwi prints! First we drew a prototype, then we drew an actual one, then we traced the drawing on to a second piece of paper. Finally we printed it and coloured it. The results were AMAZING and here are some photos:

Rehearsals

 Hi everyone Jonathan/Geewiz here and my school's doing a production. I'm excited and I'm Geewiz the magician's assistant. Lockdown has made us delayed using the props but we're getting better. The production is called Aladdin & Jasmine, our spin on Aladdin. This production is going to take place at Waikowhai Intermediate and the tickets are being sold at the office at Waikowhai Primary. 

Note: The show will go on even if in lockdown in some way.
