Do stars Twinkle?

 In Week 8,  Miss Fletcher gave us a science lesson about Matariki.

We had to write some notes about it.  Here is my work:

Mrs C

In Week 8, Term 2  our school librarian, Mrs C, retired. On her last day, we put on a  Book Character Parade. We dressed up in costumes like book characters and then we went on a parade through the Daycare Centre next to the school, past the shops in the village, along Hobson St and back up Tennyson St to the school. 

 I chose to dress up as a cow from the book call the cow jumped over the moon.

Personification old playground

 We had to write a piece of writing about the old playground. We had to use personification in all of our sentences.

Going to My Grandparents - Recount

We had to write a recount, which included a simile, personification and adjectives about what we did in the past two weeks. Here is my work.

Going to my grandparents new house

BROOM! BROOM! My granny, poppa, cousin and I drove to their new house

where they got to live on Aroha Island. They have the whole island to themselves.

They are the caretakers for a few months because my granny is going to get surgery

in a few weeks so they can’t go on their boat. My cousin and I got to stay there for

the weekend.

CRUMBLE! CRUMBLE! The rock smashed into pieces like an avalanche falling

down a hill while we drove along the rocky road. The rocks jumped around the road

as if they were crazy rabbits. When we got to the building they lived in we jumped out

and ran inside. We ran into a room full of kiwi’s after putting our bag in the room we

were going to sleep in. It had two beds. I chose the bed closest to the door so it

wouldn’t be too dark. We ran down to the beach and started our hunt for crabs.

After a while my cousin yelled out I found a crab! She tried to pick it up with a

shell because she was too scared to pick it up with her bare hands. I picked it

up for her and put it in a little hole in a rock. The crab was as small as a tiny

baby mouse.

After a few minutes we had too many crabs for the hole so we had to move them

into a bigger home. We found a home big enough for them all to hide somewhere

and run around. We started to go back because it was getting dark and my granny

wanted to try to find the only two kiwi’s that live here. People call them Hayden and

Henrietta but they were two old to lay any eggs. We walked out to the garden place

where they like to go and sat down and listened to them calling to each other. We

couldn’t see them but we could hear them. I thought that the one that had the nice

voice was the female but then my poppa told me that it was the male calling.

Then I heard the female calling. It sounded like a dying duck that's

SCREAMING as LOUD as it can, it did not sound friendly.

After about 5 minutes we went back to the house and had dinner. We had spaghetti bolognese

but my cousin didn’t like mixts so she had scrambled eggs with avocados and tomatoes.

I thought it looked disgusting because the avocados they taste horrible. After dinner

we said goodnight to our poppa and granny then jumped into bed but we didn’t

have to go to sleep yet but after a while our granny came in and told us to go to bed

now so I hopped in my bed and fell asleep. The next morning me and my cousin woke up

and straight away started playing cards we play a card game called cheat it's like last card

but different a bit after playing card we had breakfast and play more card games but then

my granny got her tablet and then she had cameras all over the campground and the

road we played a weird game with the cameras and my granny was the bad guy first

he had to hide and watch her on the cameras she came in the house and we could

she her anymore I yelled out to my cousin that she was coming but then for some reason

my cousin came out of her hiding spot and got caught straight away then she told our

granny where I was and then she found me!

 After about 2 hours my cousin's family came to pick us up. We said goodbye

and hopped in the car.

I wish I could have stayed there longer. It was fun and I had a good time there

but we might go there in the holidays!

Stars personification

 I did writing about stars using personification. Here is my work.

Matariki Coding

 I coded a bee bot around the Matariki star cluster. Here is my video.

Fractions DLO

 I did a presentation to share what I know about fractions. Here is my work.

Play make create

In Week Seven of Term 2, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation.  This week Mrs Craig Read the book: The Day the Crayons Quit.  It was about crayons.

I chose to make a pink picture for the pink crayon and build a rainbow tower and I made a naked crayon animation with Aumaarire.

Play Make Create

 For play make create this week we read a story call Twig. She wanted to blend in and she wanted people to be her friend because she was lonely. She was always camoflaged into things until her friends made her a scarf to stand out..

DLO NZ pest Stoats

A few weeks ago for reading Olivia and I made a DLO about NZ pests.  We chose to do ours about stoats. Here is our work.  We hope you like it!

Simile Poem

 In Week 5, we learned how to write a Simile poem. This kind of poem needs a simile in almost every line. We could base it on any topic we wanted. I chose to base mine on a marshmallow and a lamb. Here is my work.

Autumn leaves

In Week 4,  we went on a hunt in the playground to see if we could find some autumn leaves. We looked for them on trees and on the ground. Then we came back to class and wrote about them using as many of our senses as we could. Here is my work:
