Refugee

In my reading group we have started to read a book called Refugee. Each week we have questions to answer about the book. I am really enjoying the book so far! We are only allowed to read a certain amount of pages every week so we don't get too far ahead of our group. I can't wait for next week so that we can read more. Here is the blurb from the back of the book. :) Enjoy.

Stonehenge

This week in MLH we have been looking at some monuments. We have been researching Stonehenge, Newgrange and Mashawe. We had to do an information report on Stonehenge because the winter solstice is coming up. we also completed a my map on all of them. Here they are. Please leave a comment. :)
 

                 

                                               

Fish in a Tree

At the start of term two we started reading a book called fish in a tree. It is about a girl called Ally Nickerson, she has dyslexia and learning differences.  I really like the book so far. Each week we are set with different tasks, each relating to what has happened in the book. This week I choose to do vocabulary and a short story pretending to be Ally using my senses.  Here they are. Dont forget to comment! :)

E village / Museum visit

This term so far has been so busy! So far we have  been weeding and mulching down at Hamanatua stream, we have gone to the museum and E village, we have gone on a bike trip and we have been practicing really hard for the gym festival. We have got so much more cool stuff coming up.

Our inquiry topic this term is Retro Tech. Last week we went to the museum and E village to learn more about Retro tech and technology of the future. It was so much fun at the museum we got to write our name with quills (feathers). We got to look at tonnes of other old items in the museum, I really enjoyed it.

Then we walked to the electric village. There we learnt about transport of the future. It was so cool. We got to ride on an electric scooter, complete activity  and control robots using ipads! And when we left we got a free lollipop. Overall I really enjoyed going to the museum and E village.

Escape from kraznir

Last term my early level four writing group started a story writing adventure called escape from kraznir. It is so much fun! We have some slides on our hub witch act as templates. Our writing is still a work in progress and NEEDS editing. Here is my escape Kraznir writing so far. Enjoy! :) (here is a teaser)

Escape From Kraznir

Term 1 refection

Overall I have really enjoyed term one. We have been up to lots of interesting stuff such as camp, duathlon,  swimming sports, mulching, we are going to make feijoa ice-cream and are going to have an easter raffle draw on Friday. I really hope I have sold the most the most tickets. I sold nine sheets that would be ninety tickets. It is the last week of the term. I will tell you next term if I won any prizes from the easter raffle and I will tell you how the ice cream went.

Swimming Sports

On Tuesday year threes,fours,fives and sixes had swimming sports. There were three strokes freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke. I participated in backstroke and freestyle (I really hate breaststroke). I got 3rd in backstroke, I am so proud of myself. It was so much fun.
