Tongan language week.
This week is Tongan language week this means people all over New Zealand will be learning new things about the Tongan culture, I learnt how to say 10 in Tongan this is how you spell it Hongofulu. At our school we are celebrating by decorating the foyer with Tongan decorations. Sometimes at our school we don't like being with other cultures. To fix this I would like to get everyone who are in in rooms 7,8 and let them get to know each other so that they just don't judge kids by their culture.

The science expo.
Last week Friday we had a expo which was showing simple machines that were made by all of the other classes. But we could only make them out of pulleys and wheel and axles, I saw some really cool ones that were way better than mine some people had a Ferris wheel,well and a unicycle. Here are some photos that were taken by my teacher.

I have not accelerated because the questions that I am getting are a little bit harder every time and I think it's because I don't know my times tables. But I am happy with my score because it is better than a 2 or a 1. At the end of the year I would like to get to get a 4A to get a 4A I am going to concentrate more and learn my times tables,understand percentages and decimals.

In writing I have not accelerated but I have keep my scores in a 2 section. This because I haven’t edited my work after writing something like a explanation. I am still happy that I haven't got a 1B,1P or a 1A. I believe that I need to get a very very very good understanding of an explanation. I think I find put punctuation in the right place hard because I haven’t practise. Next term I need to really need to work on explanation writing and better choices of words. At the end of the year I would like to get a 4B I am going to get a 4B my editing my work,using a variety of sentences and planning.
I am actually pretty happy with my results.
