maths glog

In maths we have been learning to use place value to solve addition problems. That is why I have made this glog.

Museum Trip



Today my class and Room 6 went to the museum and we learnt some Maori. We also learnt about the stars and the constellations they make. First we went to the big ball thing and when you are inside you feel like you are in space and I really enjoyed going in. You can see all the stars and planets!!. when you go in the big ball thing its like going into a black hole. After that we went to learn about the Maori New Year. We learnt about what they did to celebrate, like how they killed birds which I am against and how they had fun. We did the haka and went back to school.

Week 4 Reflection

What: This week I did another Picasso face but we painted it instead, I haven't finished it yet but a really want too. We are sticking on pipe cleaners, feathers and lots of other funny different things. We also got a drawing lesson from a real artist called Graham Braddock. He taught us how to draw a possum. First you measure where the picture is going to be, so we did that. Then we started the legs, arms and head of the possum. That took some thinking about thinking. I also changed my blog title name but I did not want to. Frank Bunce came to our school too and talked to us about the rescue helicopter.


So What: I learnt that you need to draw very lightly if you want to make a very very good picture. I learnt how to do great shading. I think I finally know how to find the main idea in each paragraph in the story.   


Now What: I really want to finish my Picasso face so I can put the materials on. I want to get better at writing and handwriting. Also want to get the habits of mind about thinking about thinking poster in the hall.






Wordle 2

This is another wordle. I made it about words to use instead of said. I put some different words hope you like it and please make lots of comments.

Frank Bunce

Today Frank Bunce came to my school to talk about the Westpac Rescue Helicopter and how he played rugby. We got a photo with him as well as an autograph.  The pilot for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter said what they do and how they do it.  They have this thing called the winch and they lower someone down and bring him up again with the sick or injured  person. If they can't land  that is how they rescue someone.

Week 3 Reflection

What: This week my class finished off all of our unfinished work, so far I have to do 2 more things and they are my book cover and my last activity. And we did Picasso art and that is a face looking too ways one looking sideways and one looking forwards mine is cool I have already finished it looks really effective as well.

So what:I learnt that you colour in one way and I learnt use a better maths strategy. And to use '' in my writing as well.

Now what: I want to get better at handwriting and Maori language.

Week 2 Refliction

What:This week we have been given a project to do about my favorite book my favorite book is the Tin Tin series i have nearly read all of them and we have made toilet rools in to our favorite main charector in our favorite books.I made tin tin and this week we did this reading bug thing but I didn't get to to one which is sad and the only resin is because I was sick but I don't really care.

So what:This week I learnt that I don't have to use my hands so that means I finally got better at maths and I learnt some new moves for the haka

Now what:I want to get better at hand writing and art
