Friday 13 November Term 4 In our [lays with Mrs Beere I have learnt to work as a team. Also to help another person if they are stuck. In softball you have to work as a team and dont listen to people if they are telling you to run to a base and you know you cant just stay where you are. Thats what i learnt in Softball. In our group learning i learnt to always listen to ohter peoples opinion and discuss your choices with them and to make sure everyone agrees with your choice of work. Dont just do you ridea because other people may not like that idea. I have learnt for working alone to try not and get distracted and dont distract others. This week I have probably moved twice because other people were talking and distracting me so i moved. So i other things in maths with Mr T we have been doing decimals there actually quite easy everyone in the group gets them now. In maths with Mrs Beere we ahve been learning to round the number to the nearest ten hundred ect. Which is very fun and very easy. In reading we got a box its new and you have to get a card and do that card on both sides. But its not any card your on a level so you have to pick a card thats in your level. In writing with Mrs Beere we have been learning to do information reports i did mine on frogs. With Mr T with writin we have just beem doing well writing. In our topic with Mrs Beere we are getting back into our plays and its really fun.With Mr T we hae been doing animal kingdom still i have inished doing the kiwi so now im doing the "Red sea viper" I hope no one else is doing it. After school today Ii am going to my best friends place. "Sarahs' Im going there for the night and then the next day she is coming back over to my place for the night and we are also going to "Katies" Bithday she is our neighbour.So this should be a fun weekend.

Friday 16 November Term 4 This week with Mr T in maths we are learning to add decimals and it was quite easy at first but then he started saying stuff that made no sense to me but i will get it. And in our topic with Mr T we are doing animal kingdom we have to choose an native New Zealand animal and find facts about it and then do a powerpoint im doing the Kiwi and im up to my powerpoint yaaa its fun yo. With Mrs Beere in our topic we are starting to do our Red Hoodie and yes i am Red Hoodie. We made it that Norrissa gets to be the wolfs mother since she was the wolf but now Rose is Norrissa is ok with it anyways. With Mrs Beere in reading we are learning to find facts abut something like we did animals we have to find facts on it and then write it in our book but we have to take notes first hopefuly you know what notes are so i dont have to explain it to you. But if you dont look it up peoples. Soooooooo........ um yesterday with Mrs Beere we did a finger puppet play with puppets well duh what else would we use in a finger puppet play. we ahd to have buddys but i was with Rose and Lucy so yea its not really buddys but Mrs Beere diddnt care so why not we had Harry Styles in it and Niall Horan in it and a robot naed Robo. Sooooooo............ um drive safely. Bye my peps.

Friday 2 November Term 4 In our reading with Mr T we have been learning to use apps from the ipods and ipads. Like last week we used an app from the ipods called "stuff" and "NZherald" and we had to find out recent storys that had happend. We had to write it in our book afterwards we had to write it in our books to show you understand and also for showing your own opion. In writing we have been learning compound complex and simple sentences still. Last week I hadnt really got the hang of it yet but Mr T explained It to me and now I understand It more. In maths we are learning decimals they are really easy actually well there easy to me maybe Im just a decimal girl. Bt apparantly we still have alot to learn. In maths with Mrs Beere we are learning to find a rule for a number pattern and make up a rule this is one of them eg Rule:Multiply the number of red dot plants by $3 then add 10. At school I think im doing better at not talking on the mat becauseIm sitting by myself more especially with Mrs Beere. I havent been told off by her for talking on the mat. Yet. But i hope It can stay like that. My mum said Im doing a better job at knuckling down and getting the job done. So I hope It can stay like that. So athletics Is coming up and Im nervous Im not and athletics person like "Lucy" or "Faith" But Im going to have a go because my mum will make me If I dont :( Im having a go at disscus shot put and long jump. In the runnig Im going to try the 100mtrs and the 400mtrs. Im better at distance then sprints so in the distance running I might come 3rd or something. But I might not do that great at the other things like I said Im not an athletics person.

Friday 26 October Term 4 In class we have been learning the animal kingdom with Mr T we havent really started yet but its going to be fun. First of all we have to do some research on an N.Z animal im doing the Kiwi. Im probely going to get most of my research on the internet I know this sounds weird but I understand the internet more than books. With Mrs Beere we have been doing puppets so really we just get a group im with Rose and Lucy. Then we choice a legend to do. Were doing "How Maui Found The Secret Of Fire" Then we choice our parts and make the puppet for that part. We have finished making our puppets we just need to practise our parts. In reading with Mr T we have been learning well nothing much were just doing reading. With Mrs Beere me Rose and Lucy read this "Grass Spider" book the spiders that can go on water and we had to do an experiment on it. Like we had to see if a paper clip could float on water me and Rose's sunk but Lucy's stayed a float I dont know how she did it. But she did. Well in maths with Mr T we are just getting in to the hang of things but when we do get into it we will be learning Fractions and Decimals so yeah thats going to be fun. Not. With Mrs Beere we have been learning to put the messing number in the gap I know it sounds easy but its actually quite hard. Its hard to explain. In writing with Mr T we have been learning to write complex and compound and simple sentences in our writing I haven’t really got the hang of using them yet. A sentence is using a subject and a verb and putting it into a sentence. A compound sentence is when you join 2 main clauses together with a conjunction. "It was sunny so I put a hat on" – compound sentence. There are 7 conjunctions "For,And,Nor,But,Or,Yet,So .A.K.A Fanboys. A complex sentences is like changing a simple sentence into a more detailed sentence e.g "Although I was scared, I crossed the bridge" – complex sentence.

Also with Mrs Beere were learning to do things like " you're" and " your" so she’s teaching us how to use the right ones in the right sentences I’m quite good at it now. Also with Mr T we are doing Maori pas so that’s really fun we haven’t finished yet but we will get there. This weekend me and Jaime are going to Rose and Lucy’s house so that should be fun.
