Te Reo Verbs

We have been learning to write simple sentences in te reo.

I found it challenging because it is my first time actually learning te reo.

Maths - Perimeter & Area

In Maths we are learning about area and perimeter.

The perimeter is the outside of the shape (orange/red)
The area is the number of squares inside.

I am feeling confident with finding area & perimeter using popsicle sticks.

Pet Letter

Dear Brenda,

I do not want to get a class pet because it will distract us with our learning and because it will stink. Who would pay for all the money? It is too expensive and who would clean up all of it's poo! I do not want to clean up all of it's poo! It would be too loud and every kid will be covering their ears.

In conclusion I do not want to get a class pet.

From Max

A while ago it was assembly click on the links above to watch it. I didn't want a speaking part but at my old school was a host twice. For our assembly I did a Mathletics Live challenge in front of the whole school.

I felt nervous. Next time we have assembly, I want a speaking part.

Dance NZ Made

Dance NZ Made is a competition. To start with I didn't want to do it. But I changed my mind. I just wanted to do it because I like dancing. Every week we practise with Dean McKerras. Next term we will compete on stage.

Chapter Chat

On Fridays our class does Chapter Chat. We answer questions and share our work with other classes all over New Zealand.

I like Chapter Chat because I LOVE the Minecraft creative activities. I also like writing different tweets.

 We have to write quality tweets.

I made this cake with mum. My class loved it when I shared it with everyone.

World of math

Today is cross country. I am feeling excited. My goal is to Come in the top 5.
