                                                         SUDDENLY I SAW.............

One hot afternoon I was about to take a big dive in a huge waterfall when  all of a sudden I saw the waterfall turned into a lava fall.  I was just standing at the edge of the cliff just waiting to see if the lava fall will turn back in a waterfall.  I felt the boiling hot steam coming from the lava fall on to my face.  Then it turned back into a waterfall.  Then I saw somebody thinking it was a great idea to throw rocks in the water, It turned back into a lava fall.  Then home time bye lava fall then.....

My Reflection

I have been learning to use a range of strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems.  I found this easy and fun because I know a lot of strategies.  My next step is to try even bigger numbers and start learning multiplication and division strategies.

Kiwi Kids News Activity - Summarising Information

My Reflection

I have been learning to summarise information.  I read an article from Kiwi Kids News about the rugby.  I think I could have done better at this activity by answering the questions in full.  My next step is to keep practising to summarise information.

Term 1 Week 6

Last week the whole class did some art, the art was called Pepeha art.  I enjoyed doing the Pepeha art because it was fun to do.  This is what we had to do, first we had to get a piece of paper with four large even triangles shapes,  the next thing we had to do is we had to draw four things like for example in the first shape I would draw my house then in the next one I would draw my awa- my river, then my mountain then in the last shape we got to draw anything we wanted to draw. I would like to  do this art every year!!!!!

Term 1 Week 5

The highlight of my week was doing foundation skills.  What we do for foundation skills is that we get to choose two activity's we want to do each day, then we go away and do our activity's independently.  I enjoy doing foundation skills.  I want to do it for the rest of the year because it is so much, I never want to stop doing foundation skills.
