My Culture

Yesterday our class were talking about our cultures. I did England. I dressed up like a british school kid. I had to talk about who in my family lived there, and traditions and that sort of thing. I enjoyed talking about my culture and other peoples culture because I did not know that somebody in my class was from Canada. I found it tricky to go up to the front of the class because I was a bit nervous. Next time I would try to find more facts.

Easter Puppet Show!

2 weeks ago, we were learning how to summarize. We learnt about how the easter story went from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. We had to make a puppet show about it. I buddied up with James. Halfway through the puppet show filming, I went away to dance competitions in Napier. So I did some at home. I enjoyed learning about the story of Easter because I could not believe how much happened in the time span of a week! I found it tricky to draw some of the characters because I am a bad drawer. Next time I would try to finish it on time.

Marae Trip

Last week on Thursday we traveled to Takipu Marae. I had to go late because I was busy but we had loads of fun! For dinner we had burgers. We even had dessert! For dessert we had Ice cream and fruit. I even had thirds! After dinner it started getting dark. We got ready for bed then came back to where we eat. We then watched a movie named Yes Day. In the morning we had toast and cereal. We started getting ready to leave and the people from the museum. We got to play games and go into a space dome that was huge! For lunch we had sausages and meat patties. It was the best Marae trip I have ever had!

   

Women's Native Tree Nursery Visit

Today we walked to the Women's Native Tree Nursery to plant some trees and clippings. It was such a hot day! There were lots of wasps but we were very lucky to not get stung. I enjoyed one of the jobs I got because I had to work with tiny kowhai seeds. I found it tricky to see because I was at the back of the group. Next time I would try to get to the front of the group so I can see.

Tornado Facts

This week for reading we have been making connections between what we read. We have been learning about tornadoes and tornado shelters. We had to make a slide about top 10 facts we found and make a tornado shelter that will fit our family and will have all our needs. I enjoyed learning about tornados because it was actually very interesting. I found it tricky to make a shelter because my book was not that big and I could not fit lots. Next time I would change the background of the slide because grey in hard to read off. Here they are:
