Weekly Blog!

This week in maths we have been learning about decimals. The girls have been on the floor solving questions that involve decimals but also Matua Don has been checking us out to see how we explain the problem, how we solved the problem and how we got the answer to the problem. In Reading we have been reading a book called 'Holes'. if it sounds familiar to you well that's because Holes is also a movie but the book was made before the movie. The book is all about Stanley and how Camp Green Lake goes out for him. He got bullied in his Middle School because of his size, he was an over weighted boy. He got sent to court because of his No-Good-Dirty-Rotten-Pig-Stealing-Great-Great-Grandfather. When it's writing, we do Wonder Writing. What is Wonder Writing? wonder writing is when the teacher shows us a picture and we have to make that picture come to life, well not actual come to life but we have to make up a story about it and use descriptive words to our story. Whoever has the most creative story gets a prize and to me I call those people 'Creative Imagination Thinkers' I only call them that because they have a mind that can think of anything and pretend that there doing those things write now. Their imagination is so creative that they could be famous when they grow up. That is what I've been learning and doing throughout this week. I hope you learn something.

Making Pasta At Tech/Tamaki College

Today we had cooking and this is what we made. I think it's called a Spanish Meatball Dish. It was very hard and very difficult. I didn't really like it, but the only thing that i did like was the cheese. 

On Matariki Day

On Friday last week we had Matariki. Before Matariki happened we had to pick what group that we wanted to be in. We had to pick in what order we wanted it to be in, the groups that we had to pick out of was of Cooking, Arts and Crafts, Movie Making and Sports. I was in room 18 doing arts and crafts. In arts and crafts we were weaving with paper. We had to pick some colours that Miss had cut out for us and start weaving them. When we finished the weaving we had to go to the next class and started colouring feathers. We had to write our name on one feather and then leave the other two just to colour it as many colours as we want. After we finished the feathers we had to lightly coat it with glitter glue. When it dried some of the older kids cut it out neatly and gave it to the teachers. The teachers stapled it to this coat thingy and showed it to the whole school. Then that's all I did when it was Matariki. I hope you enjoyed reading about what I did on Matariki.
