A day with Miss M'Grath

 Ki Ora Everybody, welcome to another one of my blog posts. Today the year 6's went on a trip to a place called Spark Arena. I'm a year 6 but unfortunately I didn't come because I wasn't here all last week to return my notice. The teachers had to go (obviously) So we had our Deputy Principal. Miss M'Grath.

The first thing we did was talk about our well being survey we did last term. But that was kinda not related to what we were doing and plus it was kinda boring. So we'll skip that part, OK? Next Miss M'Grath turned on some music and we had to start walking around. When it stopped. We budded up in pairs and said one thing we were grateful for? She turned it on again we started walking again and you get the point. The people I budded up with were Savanna (My sister), Tehani and Abdullah. One of the things I said was grateful was "I'm grateful that my dad took me to school today".

We finished that and then we started talking about what to do if someone was bullying or being mean to you. Then we started to make fortune tellers that at the end, had nice messages to compliment and Encourage you. Only 2 of us knew how to make it so Ms M'Grath had to show us one step at a time. When we were done, we could show other people the messages we wrote. One of the things I wrote was "Have an Awesome day!" We did that until the morning tea bell rang which I had to ring because one of the year 6's normally would have to ring the bell.            

Heres a photo of my fortune teller. 


Also a photo of my messages.



Sorry that you can't see it very well D:

If you want to make a fortune teller here are the steps.

1. First you get a square piece of paper or a normal one and then fold it diagonally like this. and do the same thing but with the other corner. If you used a normal piece of paper you can cut th(turn down your brightness to see more clearly)

2. unfold the piece of paper and you should have a cross on your piece of paper. Then you fold the piece of paper in half. One from side to side and the other from top to bottom. (You actually do not need to do this but it was one of our steps)

3. Fold the paper from each corner to the center. Do that with all of the corners. The paper should look like this now.


4.The next thing you gotta do is do the same thing on the other side but fold it with the other side of folded paper too. When you are finished your paper should look the same as the other side.

5. Fold your piece of paper in half and put your thumb and pointing finger in one side and your other thumb and pointing finder in the other sides. 

6. Your done! :D Put 4 colors in your first half. Unfold your piece of paper and it should look like the photo on step 4 but with folds in the middle of each folded piece. After that you can either color in using 8 colors or write numbers from 1-8 and then you can write messages inside the 8 folds and then use it for your friends! :D



After morning tea we had SSR (Sustained Silent Reading) and then we got into a circle. It was not an ordinary circle though. It was called a Compliment Circle. Here's how it worked. One person started off saying a compliment. Then the person who got complimented went next. Then the process got repeated until the last person came. The last person Complimented the person who went first. My compliment was to Dustine which was "I liked how high you hit in tennis" Because he did a very high shot in tennis during morning tea.

A little bit later the year 6's came back and they told how fun it was... I wasn't jealous totally not... Anyway thank you for reading my blog post. If you want you can comment something you liked about my Day! Have a great day or night and blog ya later!

  1. Ka pai Jeremiah. I'll start with another compliment for you: I like the way you are honest but respectful when you post on your blog. It's always nice to get compliments and to appreciate what you have. Right now I appreciate the cup or tea I have and the fact I can hear the ocean. I wonder if you could make a digital version of the fortune teller?

  2. Kia ora Jeremiah, I have to say I was incredibly impressed with your attitude towards our work that morning, it must have been very disappointing not to go on the trip and yet you approached all the tasks we did with a calm and empathetic nature. I like Phil's idea of creating a digital version of the fortune teller. I'm going to be doing a similar lesson in a few weeks with the Year 6s - I wonder could you do it by then, so that we can enthuse them?
