Butter making.

On Tuesday rooms 7,8,12 and 10 went to the Howick historical museum. One of the activities were butter making. The only ingredient was milk. All we had to do was mix and mix and mix with a twist on whisk. We were told to sing a song. The people who would do this would sing this song so that they could past time and dont get bored.

Seven bright stars.

T2W9 - Wednesday

WALHT: Identify and draw a rhombus.

Vocabulary Diagonal,Bisect,parallel,polygon,specialised,right angles,opposite,arrows,parallelogram,degrees.

     A rhombus has

• 2 sets of parallel lines but opposite sides.
• It's a specialised 4 sided figure.
• When the diagonal bisect each other they form a 90 degree angle.

I found this activity hard at the start. I found this lesson har because I was not familiar with it. I then started to understand and it then became easy. I accidently mixed up bisect with dissect. But my teacher said that it was okay.

I just want to Celebrate.

Best qualities in my whanau.

I don't know who I really wanna be when I grow up. I have thought about it though. So I think that if I learn the best from my family (Whanau) then I will know who I want to be when I grow up.

The person that I look up to the most is my Mum. I look up to my Mum because she is very successful and I want that for my family when I grow up. She is also a hard worker when ever she wants to achieve something she works hard to get what she wants. My Mum is a very good influence to me and that is why I look up to her.  The best thing about my Mum is when she wants the best for everyone and everything. I enjoy my Mum's cooking because she is the best. My Mum is beautiful and I love how she is a great role model.

My favourite place to go when It is the holidays is Kapiti. I like going there because I was born there. I also like that place because I grew up in that area.

I am thankful for my family because without them I wouldn't be who I am today learning and succeeding at school.

Matariki poster

This is not going to happen because this was for our writing I am very sorry.

Volume and capacity practise.

Today we practised volume and capacity. Sadly I did not do the poster and because of that I do not have a great understanding of volume and capacity. What was easy was the very first game. All it asked was how many unit cubes did it take to form the bottom layer. I will admit the last two games were hard so I had to guess every time. I did find this lesson very difficult and I do think I can learn volume and capacity I just need more practise.

Getting 100 sugar cubes.

This week we were making a box full of 100 sugar cubes. Well we actually used blocks.  We had to use multiplication to get a 100 .I liked this activity and I hope to do this again.

Visualizing.

Walht: Think about the Images we “see” as we read.

This week Author's purpose were learning about visualizing.

Visualizing is when you read a book and create a movie in your head. I was confused at the start but then it became very very easy. As you can see at the top I have used google drawings to draw what I visualised in my head. I made this by reading the 3 sentences at the top. I also had a little chat to my friend Mya while making this.

I am still thinking what I need to learn next.

Samoan Language Week.

Last week was Samoan language week. On wednesday it was dance and singing after lunch. In class we did a samoan dance and learnt samoan songs.
