Swimsafe

Room8 have been going to Water World. I am very good at backstroke and freestyle breathing. What I am working on is dolphin dive. On Thursday we went into the 25metre pool to learn how to be safe in the water.

  

My favourite

My favourite athletics event was 60 meter sprint , I was good at it because I came second and I achieved my goal.

My favourite science experiment was making sherbet because I got to taste the sherbet and see if it was sour or sweet. It was a little bit of both.

My favourite animal fact is that the panda used to  be a carnivore but now it is a herbivore.

My favourite subject is reading because my group is reading a chapter book called the lemonade war.                                                                                                                                                

The vinegar and baking soda science experiment

How high can I jump?

Room8 has been practising high jump for athletics. You had to run up and do the sicssor kick over the metal bar.If we were really good Mrs Hood  put the metal bar a little bit higher. It was hard for me because the bar was high so I felt like I couldn't do it, but I kept on trying and I jumped over the bar. My goal for high jump is to run faster to get the speed so I can jump higher.

Maui and the Sun

All Blacks competition

In room 8 we entered a competition to dress up like we where in the stadium watching the All Blacks vs Argentina .We painted our faces black and white and we dressed up in black clothes .If we won a all black will come into our class room and talk about rugby and the All Blacks. Today we got the photo back and it looked AMAZING. We got some good news that we had to take another photo because they want more photos of us. I hope we win. My  favourite All Back is Richie I haven't been to the staduim and whatched them but one day I will.I only watch rugby on tv .Try and find me in this photo.[hint- I am wearing a blue scarf]

Buddy reading

Room8 does buddy reading every Friday. Our buddy reading class is room 4. My buddy is Taylor.  I help Taylor read by sounding out the words and encourage her to read more. I sometimes ask her questions about the story like how many characters are in the story, what are the characte'rs names and what happened in the story. I enjoy buddy reading because I like helping room 4 read.

Gymsport competition

The gym sport that I was involved in was hip hop .We practised 14-15 weeks on Thursday mornings in room 9. My hip hop teacher was Mrs Head. My hip hop group entered a competition at the Hamiltion gymnastics gymsport. My hip hop group's name was called the inspiaring hip hoppers. On Wednesday the 28th we went to the competition .We had a warm up by jumping up and down then we had a practise without the music . Our song was called Youngbloodz I'm a shine step up 2.  The hip hop fluro mob came 1st then the inspiring hip hoppers came 2nd and the funky hip hoppers came 3rd..My group worked very hard to come 2nd place.

The peasent prince

In room 8 we read a story called the Peasent Prince .It is about a boy called Li Cuxin. He is very poor .He would always fly a kite and make wishes .He grew up to become the best dancer in China and America. He became very  famous. Room 8 made some kites and they had to have something about China. My kite has the Chinese flag on it and Chinese symbols .Then we made three wishes, a personal wish , a family wish and  a world wish.

Culture, what does it mean?

                                                                                        
What does culture mean? Culture means where you are from (your country) the different flags, the language you speak, the  different foods,  what kind of things you do and your way of doing things.

Term 2 reflection

One thing that I enjoyed about term 2 was the waste to wow trashion show because we had to make garments out of trash and I got to wear the garment and walk on the catwalk.Something that I found a challenge was gym sport because I couldn't  do a forward roll but then I tucked my chin into my neck and that helped me do a forward roll.

Something I want to work on  in term 3 is to get a placing in cross country.

Trashion Show

My favourite part about the trashion show was when I was the model and I had to walk on the catwalk and twirl my milk bottle umbrella.

Mrs Paraha's baby

Guess what? Yestarday Mrs Paraha came in and she brought in her baby. Her baby's name is Eden. She is six weeks old. Mrs Paraha brought in some choclate chip cookies too. Room 8 asked some qusetions about Eden and Mrs Paraha asked some question about our learing. I think Eden is cute when she closes her eyes.

Poetry Week!

During poetry week the thing that I enjoyed the most was reading the poems and writng them.

My favourite poem was called Rhymes I liked it because I wrote it.

Poems have.....

lots of describing words

onomatepea (sound words)

Alliteration

Museum trip!

Room 7 and 8 went to the museum because we were learning about design-waste to wow! When we started our hat we first thought of an inspiration. Next we got our things that we neededpaper, scissors, celotape, after that we started making our hat.We first made an ordinary hat then we made a tailpiece at the back to make it fancy. Later we made curls at the front and one at the back. Soon we put a tiny spiral up the top. I really liked our hat I thought it was fantastic.

Term 1 Reflection

My highlight from term 1 was camp because it was my first time camping on the school field. I improved in handwriting because I think that I made my work nice and neat. My goal for term 2 is  in cross country to jog at the start then sprint at the end and get a placing.

Me poster

We have started doing a Me poster because Mrs Hood wants to know more about us.First we had to write our name then we had to answer some questions like what kind of food is yummy and I wrote candy floss,butter chicken and mince and cheese pies. We also had to write what we want to be when we grow up and I wrote when I grow up I want to be a singer or a movie star.




Today we did oral language. Baki shared a ladybug rock that he painted. He painted the rock with his mum. It was really cool.Tomorrow I am sharing anything I want.  I might share my favourite soft toy I am really excited.

Camp week

 

This is my group there were three girls in my tent we were called the candyfloss girls. My favourite part of camp was all of the activities it was awesome. I also enjoyed sleeping in the tents. It was a challenege for me because I had only slept in a tent once before when I was very little.

Rosie the cow show

My favourite part of  the Rosie cow show was when they changed the back grounds and I  learnt that Rosie the cow was a jersey cow. I like how they were dancing and singing.
