Christmas 2021

We had a lot of fun making Reindeer Cookies and Christmas decorations this week.

We used arrowroot biscuits, nutella, M&Ms and pretzels to make our delicious reindeer cookies. It was a lovely treat!

Our Christmas decorations had a 'Xmas Tree' theme. We made a finger print xmas tree card, a glittery xmas tree with a candy cane and then a xmas tree ornament for our trees. What a great way to end the year.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!

Water - An Amazing Substance

We are using water to help us understand different scientific concepts.

Two weeks ago on Friday we did science the first experiment what we did was we splashed water on the court and we would see how long it would take to evaporate. then we put some water in a plastic cup and put a cut ice cream lid on it. you will never guess what when we held it there and we let go the lid stayed on I was amazed. then we got two cups one with cold water one with warm water and a plastic lid in the middle the we slid it out to see witch kind of water was heavier.

Narrative Writing - The day the sun disappeared

 WALT write a creative narrative story!

Once upon a time there was a person called Jimmy with a phoenix named Flame they were strolling through the desert and then suddenly the sky went dark Jimmy fell face first into the sand he gritted his teeth and looked up there stood a dark figure with glowing red eyes and no mouth his head was covered by a hood. what Jimmy shouted with shock. Muahahaha the figure screeched now that that blasted sun is gone I can finally take over the world. Who are you Jimmy squeaked? I am the moon master he replied  now that everyone is in darkness I have control. For centuries I have waited and planned but I decided to make that sun disappear.  Flame we have to light the sun in one swift motion he jumped on the back of his phoenix and away they went they dug and giant hole and brainstormed then Jimmy said why didn’t I think of this before you are a magical creature you can fly to the sun and light it he rummaged in his bag and pulled a convenient space suit from it here's something I prepared earlier. Moments later they were soaring up and up until there was no gravity. I think that is it that humongous black rock they circled it a couple of times and then roar a jet of flames burst from flames beak. They quickly dashed away back to earth. There was the moon master screaming noooooo how and then he crumpled ford collapsing in a pile of ash and they all lived happily ever after. 

The end

Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori

  1. WALT read, write and say māori words and sentences.
  2.  One of the things that we did with Whaea Seroya was Te Reo learning. We did a kupu o te ra which is a word of the day. Kupu o te ra taught me a lot of maori words. These are some of them: 1. Arai mata-face mask 2. Papa takaro-playground 3. Peke kura-schoolbag 4. Kuaha-door and 5. Poro-ball. We played a game called whare whare kemu. Whare whare kemu is basically bingo we played it to learn the names of food in Maori. eg 1. Remana-lemon 2. Kapu-cup 3. Aparo-apple 4. Panana-banana. In my  hua rakau pukapuka I created a character which was a lemon man AKA Lenny. On my second page I had a Ko wai ahau, Ko remana ahau with a picture of a black board saying Lenny the lemon. On my 3rd and 4th page I had a No wai au, no raku au, hen a tree with lots of lemons on it. My wheku mask is blue and black. Its eyes look like teardrops. We played whare whare kemu. Sadly I never won, usually I was one off!!! But though I never won I still enjoyed it!
