Yesterday, for maths we had to read a step by step procedure for making a 3D clock. It was very tricky. We had to measure in centimetres to make equilateral triangles, measure the angles with a protractor to check they were 60 degrees, make a clock face and arrows and tie it all together with string. I was glad when I finished. The clock hands were the hardest part. Here is a picture of my clock.
We had to do a handwriting sample this week. My handwriting is not that good but it’s way better than the start of the year.
Thanks to Covid we could only have
Ohaeawai kids in our cross country this year. I came 7th
in my year group.
On Friday, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation. This week Mrs Craig Read the book: Maui and the sun.
It was about the Maori myth which explains how/why the sun moves across the sky.
I chose to draw the sun before Maui trapped him. We also had to publish a piece of poetry from our writing work this week. Here is my blackout poem.
In Week 3 of Term 3, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation. This week Mrs Craig Read the book: the smartest Giant in Town by Julia Donaldson.
It was about being kind.
I chose to make something for somebody I love
In Week 9, Term 2 , we had a day of activities based on Matariki. We got sorted into groups and did rotations. Most of us got to do 2 different activities but some only did one activity if it took a long time. I chose to take part in: Paper Plate Stars
