Kids for Kids concert.

On Friday my school went to the life convention centre to do the Rehearsal  practise for Friday night. 

We sang all of the songs and we were singing with Jackie Clark and Nathan King. There was kids that auditioned for a soloist part. We had to practise for half an hour. My favourite song was maybe tomorrow and sensitive to a smile. Then after that we eat our morning tea we started to singing  songs again. There was 250 kids there and 15 schools that were singing with Jackie and Nathan. 

When we finished we went back to school and eat our lunch and our teacher gave us an ice block each and then we had P.E for a little while and then we went home. 

                                                                                        

Filming Reflection

Today I am going to talk about my classrooms film for the film festival, our film is about success. It was fun filming the film because each one of us got to do a part of the film. Some of us were not in the film because we were the Director or Camera Operator and some of us were away. We all watched it and discussed how to make it better. We decided that we will put words in the film so that the people that are watching will know what we are doing. We want our film to be fun and enjoyable to watch.

Rugby League Reflection

Today we had league after morning tea. We have to change and go have our rugby league session.

When we had our session the people that didn't have breakfast had to do ten star jumps and the people that had no water bottles they had to do ten star jumps.

Maths Reflection

Today for maths my group went to the mat and worked with our teacher we learnt about fractions. We played a little competition that whoever get’s the right answer wins and the winner was me.

When we are on maths whizz we have to listen to the tutor and the tutor tells us the instructions and then after they tell us the instructions. We have to do the work that we are told to do, my activity to do was work out my time tables.

Catholic Schools Day.

Yesterday morning was Catholic School’s Day and Saint Joseph’s school came over to our school  and they came with us to mass. Their priest came to our school to celebrate the day with us, the priest of St Joseph’s is father Terry.

After mass we had a shared lunch with the Saint Joseph’s children and then we told some kids our age to come and play with us, so we played bull rash. When we were about to start we said to the Saint Joseph’s kids will run and the Saint Pius kids will try to catch them. The staff of Saint Joseph’s and St Pius had a shared lunch in the library.

After big lunch we all lined up and we went to the hall for the concert. Room 7 sang a song and after them was St Joseph’s and our class went up and did our cup song. After that our concert was finished St Joseph’s walked out the hall and went back to their school. What an awesome day.

My Pencil.

Pencils are made of wood and people put lead in pencils so you can write and draw. Some pencils are circle shaped and some are hexagon shaped. Pencils can be very useful, some pencils are sharp and pointy, other pencils a blunt like a flat tyre.

Pencils are pointy like a needle and pencils can be hard like rocks. Pencils write like felts and pens and sometimes blunt pencils look like a big mess.

A pencil feels smooth and hard and a pencil is easy to hold when you a writing about something.I like pencils because they a easy to write with.

My Mother.

My mother loves me and she helps me with my homework and everything I struggle with. She cleans our house and other kinds of jobs that need to be done. My mother is beautiful and kind and I love her just as she loves me.

My mother means everything to me and I love her with all my heart. I thank her for supporting me and helping me. The thing that I love most about her is her smile and her laugh.

A simile is where two things are directly compared because they share a common feature. The word AS or LIKE is used to compare the two words. Eg. As cold AS a dog's nose

On are sunny day me and my family went to a family Reunion at the beach to meet up with our families. My aunty said that we had to come in colourful clothes. My dad’s dad side had to wear red and my dad’s dad’s brother’s side had to wear blue.

That day was are fun because we had sport. The sport that we did was rugby, soccer and racing. We had a big feast that day because Waitangi day was the day that my dad’s dad’s brother had passed away.

We went to the beach with our families and swam. When I swam I caught a small fish, it was a red fish and I took it and I put it on a bowl with sea water. After that we changed and we went home to sleep so we would be ready for school and work.

X Country

On last friday 24 August there was cross country at St Pius X Catholic School and there were children running.

The little juniors run first. After the juniors ran it was room fives turn. After they ran it was the seniors turn and the seniors had to ran the whole course but they had to run in their age groups.

When the cross country was finished we had to line back up in the age groups and go back into our classroom and eat our fruit while we waited until our parents came to pick us up.

Fruit Description

Granny smith apple is as green as grass and delicious like potato chips.

It sounds crunchy like a cookie and it smells nice like flowers.
The apple feels light like a ball and it is soft as pencils but also can be hard as a rock. It tastes yummy like mango, delicious like juice and sweet as an apple pie.

Our fruit of the week is seen on apple trees, in the fruit bucket and supermarket. It is used for eating and making drinks and apple pie.

The Granny Smith apple is healthy and gives you energy.

Olympic torch

The Olympic flame is lit at every Olympic Games.

The Olympic torch goes around the world and goes back to the place that the Olympics is being held. It is shiny, gold and it is run by gas.

The Olympic torch is run until the Olympics is finished.

Netbook Description

My Netbook is special and it was given to me this year.

My netbook is black and it is shiny plastic on the outside. It feels hard and smooth.

When I open my netbook I see a screen and lots of black keys with white writing on them. When I login the sound sounds like ‘dan dan’. Sometimes my netbook makes sounds when I go on tux paint.

My black netbook is seen in the classroom and it is charged in the C.O.W and when it is  morning tea it is in the toot tray.

When I use my netbook I can use it to go on the internet to do my work and I love having it around.
We are some of the first people in New Zealand to use netbooks for our learning.

My netbook is very good for me because I can post stuff to my blog easily.

Descriptive Activity 1

In writing we are learning about descriptive writing.  I practiced thinking up descriptive words of different things.

Orienteering Week 1

On Wednesday after morning tea Mrs Tui came to room three and told Mrs Deeney that Mr McGivern and Mrs Irene was coming to our classroom and they were coming to teach us how to do orienteering.

The first thing that he said was that we will use a map to look at. We put our hand up and answered lots of questions about using a map. Mr McGivern said we had to use a map because that’s what we follow.

After that we did some hunting in our classroom and we had to look for words. When we finished we went outside and did some orienteering on the field.

When we got outside we got are paper from Mr McGivern and they told us the rules. The rules were that we were not to go backwards and not to jump over the puncher because the puncher will break. When we played orienteering we ran around and we didn’t get lost. After that we went to morning tea.

Howick Historical Village

My favourite thing from our trip to Howick Historical Village was when room three went to make trolleys.

First of all we went to look at the instructions so we would know how we make the trolley. Mrs White told us to look at the photo so we would know how the trolley is going to look when it was finished.

The tools that we used were washers, nuts wood, bolts, metal sticks, wheels and pins. The trolley was hard to do because my friends were telling me “go there, go there” but when I got to look at the instructions I remembered what I was supposed to do. I went back and did my work, I knew what to do when I went back to my group and started.

I started off with doing the wood in the right place and then putting the bolts on it. We had to put a nut under the bolt and when we finished doing that we had to do the wheels.

My favorite thing about doing the wheels was when we had to put the wheels into the pole and after that we put the pin though the hole of the pole so that the wheel would not fall out.

After that we finished our trolley and we had to take it apart again because the next group was ready to have their go. It was all so much fun.
