Kennels

If you read chapter chat you should know the book "because of Winn-Dixie. We had a task of making a kennel. These are some kennels that my class made.

Shadow art

This is some art that we made. When we were done we went in groups of three. We shone a light at the man that we made. We drew the shadow then we put them on the wall. This is the one that I made.

Shadows (term 2)

I had a really good understanding of shadows. This is what I made in term 1. I had one little thing that shadow I had a smiley face on my shadow. 

This is my better understanding. 

Charlotte's web

We joined chapter chat for Charlotte's web. This is some art that we have done after we read the book. I'll tell you how we made them. First we made a web on white paper. We had to do the web on the top quarter. We made a line in the middle of the web after we did that we drawer a spider on the end of the line. You needed to have your name in the web. The spiders are black. Then we painted them with die. The die colour is blue and green if you wanted a day coloured art you need red and orange. Then we let Them to dry for about an hour. Then you have your art!

Maths (perimeter & area)

We have been learning about perimeter & area. This is my poster that I made.

Kapa Haka

21.6.16

Before we go to Kapa Haka we try it out twice (one a week) & choose if you want to do Kapa Haka. I tried it out & I like Kapa Haka so I joined Kapa Haka. In Kapa Haka we do Te Reo (māori) songs with Rosy, Troy & Fire. I enjoy Kapa Haka. In my class Libby, Joseph & me go to Kapa Haka together. We do Kapa Haka In the Hall Rosy, Troy & Fire Teach us some song then we practice them until we know what to do while we sing. 

World Of Maths

On Thursday 16 June the world of maths roadshow came to school. We wad to do what the instructions said. My favourite activity was called Animals. you had to make the animal shape out of lots of different shapes. The most challenging activity was called 2 frogs. You had to work out witch one of them was heaviest & lightest + the secret word. The secret word was Fredo. I think it's a name of something.  

3D Maths

This is my 3D maths. I worked with Riya. Riya is one of my best friends. It was really easy but I enjoyed it. It's fun. You should try it out. It's good for learning in maths.

Chapter Chat

Every week we have a chapter book to read sometime of the day. Then every Friday we tweet about the book we read. For an example our book that we read now is called Because of Winn-Dixie. We are enjoying the book that we read. We only read about 4 or 5 chapters so far. Winn-Dixie is a dog doing funny stuff. There is some funny names in the book. Long names, Short names & more. Last before we had this book the other book was called Charlotte's web. Charlotte's web was fun to. I have watched the movie of Charlotte's web. We have it as our own DVD at home. The book & the movie are mostly the same. Charlott is a spider & more characters like Wilbur the pig & Templeton the rat. Both of the books are fun. You should read the books & watch the movies. I have not seen the movie of the book called because of Winn-Dixie. They are full of fun. There are some pictures about chapter chat like how to write a quality tweet.
