Also for maths week we had school wide maths competitions, Mondays was guess how many jelly beans in the jar. Tuesday was how many weetbix Mr K, Mr Harris and Mr Stygall can eat in 2 minutes. Wednesday was how long it takes Mrs Cameron to run two laps of the track. Thursday was how many people can fit in Mrs Burns car. On Friday we had to dress up as something mathematical.

Worm Data Disc

For a while now my class has been studying worms.
We had to go onto websites and sign in to reading sessions with Mrs Cameron and find facts. Then we put them onto a google doc. Next we created a worm explanation. Then finally put those facts onto a data disc and then its finished.

I class for inquiry we had to design our own garden.

Matariki

This week we have been learning about Matariki. I learnt quite a lot!
 Matariki is a Maori new year. Matariki is a cluster of seven stars. You see the stars in early June.
I choose to present my ideas on google drawing to create a digital poster.
Here is some facts.

Starry Night

 For a couple of weeks now my class has been painting our own Starry Night. Starry Night is a very popular painting  by Vincent Van Gogh. We had to use the technique double dipping. That technique is very hard . I used blue and purple for my sky and dark and light green for the grass. We used pastel for our trees.Here is my painting!!

Writing

For a couple of weeks now my class have been writing on a picture we were given. This is the picture.












In our writing we had to use complex sentences. ( Serial, interrupter and opener sentences ).  We also had to use short powerful sentences.
Here is my writing :)

This is it. I am ready. But I still have no idea why I chose to do this dare on such a gloomy day. My friends are staring in surprise.

Waiting. Waiting. Waiting…..

“Hurry up,” they say. As I look around I see the Sky Tower. I wonder why I didn’t  jump off that instead? My mind is telling me “Don’t do this, don’t do this”. I pull all my strength together and say “I can’t do thi”… But it’s too late. I jump! As I fly through the air, I’m thinking of how cold the water will be or how hard I will smack onto the water.

I look down to see my reflection looking back at me. It’s coming at me fast.  “SPLASH!” I’m in. It’s freezing like ice.
