What We Did This Term

 This term we have been doing lots of stuff like PE, cactus, sculpt gl, google music lab, ukulele, Kahoot, debates, tidy numbers, persuasive writing, and Matariki activities . At the start of term one, we started doing stuff like pe cactus and ukulele.

The first thing we learned was how to do soccer at PE with Naomi we played some games like Simon said. I really enjoyed playing Simon said. The next thing I did was cactus it was fun and hard. Ukulele was the next thing we learned that was fun but I found remembering the keys a bit tricky. Sculpt go was one of my favorites because we got to choose what we made. Google music lab was cool. Kahoot was nice but tricky. The debate practice was enjoyed. Tidy numbers were helpful. Persuasive writing was my favorite. And Matariki was the hardest.

Flax Weaving

 On Thursday we did flax weaving because on Friday we are having sausages and we had to weave a boat to put them in instead of a servet. For me the weaving was fun and enjoyable. The first thing that we had to do was grab 13 pieces of flax. Then grab 7 and place them down then grab another and make it go under over under over until you reach the end and do that with the five and then leave the last one. Then grab the middle two on the side with seven and fold them over and then grab one of the ones on the edge and fold it over. Next the last piece of flax and cut it into 3 pieces and tie two of the sides with two pieces and then tie the other two sides together. 

                                            Have you ever done weaving before?

On your device you need to search up mountain ridge pick one that you like and try to draw it on your newsprint don’t make it too big Then cut out the newsprint. Then place the newsprint on the black paper don’t stick it. Next grab the chalk pastels and put them sideways. Then stroke them up the page. Then use your fingers to blend it. Next grab the hair spray and spray it on the page to make the chalk pastels stay on. Then grab some white mounting paper and stick it on the back of the page.

Tidy Numbers

 This week my maths group has been learning Tidy numbers. You can use tidy numbers when you have maths problems  like  198+56. Tidy numbers helps when you have big numbers that are hard to put together. tidy numbers can help you depending on the type of problem.

                                              Have you learnt about tidy numbers before?

Giant Skateboard

 Today We had three people come to our school to show us a ginormous Skateboard that they had made to promote skateboarding and the New Zealand team in the Olympics. It was way bigger than any of the seniors. I only just had to bend down to fit underneath it. On the bottom there was a really cool pattern. The skateboard was 18 times bigger than a usual skateboard.                                                                                                                                               Have you ever seen a skateboard this big?  

Coast to Coast Fact

This is my fact about the Coast to Coast. We went on the website and looked for facts. I found out that it sold out very quickly and that amazed me. What we had to do was draw a picture write the fact and our name. Have you written about facts before?

 

Tangrams

  Today we were making tangrams we have done it to improve our geometry. I made a arrow we only got the shapes on the arrow.  It was really tricky. I learned to flip shapes. 

                                                    Have you done a Tangram before?
