= __//My Blog //__ = Monday 26 November Co-operation: In the afternoons at school we have been practising our softball and just the other day we had a little fun game and when the fielders caught/got the ball they would have to use teamwork to get the other team out. Like on the 'Wonder Pets' their little song 'Whats gonna work... Teamwork' (i dont watch the show my nephew Syrus does). Participation:  Whenever you get the chance to join in an activity, do it, it could be more fun than you expect. Their will come a day you wont be able to do these things so while you can, do these things you wont be able to do when your 90. Thinking skills: Every day you should be using your thinking skills. They will always help you in life. You always have to use your mind before your body. Mum said their was a saying 'look before you leap' i dont know if its got anything to do with this but yea. Self managing: You need to be self managing all the time like 24/7, be self managing. You need to use your thinking skills to be self managing, and thats only a bit of the things you'll need. So be self managing everyday. Sometimes in the harold truck we talk about these things.

 Friday 16 November This week in maths we are learning to add decimals and it was really easy and i like doing it, yaaa its fun yo.

Friday 2 November 2012 I like school because we get to do really fun things like for reading we get to go on the ipods and go onto the NZ Herald and look at some news that happened in New Zealand then we write down who was in it, where and whe it happened, what happened, why it happened and we write our own opinion about the news. Our reading learning intention (L.I) is- I am learning to find important information and form my own opinion about the news article. In writing we are learning to change a simle sentence into a compound/complex sentence. L.I- I am learning to chang a simple sentence into a compound and complex sentences. in maths we are learning about decimals and how to add themand were've been working out of a HBJ (a maths work book). Were've also been doing things like learning about 'to the power' type of thing (walt= we are learning to) WALT- add and subtract decimals with 10s 1s 10ths 1000ths. I like maths but reading is better. Athletics is coming up and for it i am competing in the 100m, 200m, 400m, long jump and high jump. In 100m i think i will do good but not good enough to win cause there are alot of good sprinters. In 200m i think i will do the same as 100m, good but not good enough. In 400m i think i will do well cause last year i came first so i have a pretty good feeling about that one. In high jump i think i will do good but not go to zone for it. In long jump i thin i will do well cause i can make it pretty far in high jump at school.

Friday 21 Sepetember 2012 This week in maths I have been learning how to change a fraction into decimals. It is acutally quite fun and intersting. This week in reading I have been learning to retel a story from a comic into a story or somthing like that cause we read a chapter of a comic and turn it into a story. This week in writing I have been learning about similes, metaphors, personifacation and idiom. We did it in that order to. This week in topic I have been learning about plays, music and maori. we are having a little production of a small play at the end of this term and at the end of year prize giving we are performing a big play production of the red hoddie. For maori we are making a pa and for music we are creating a powerpoint or poster about a rock band we made up about a tour schedual and a cd cover and cd and its like we are real rock band manegers. We also get to practise a song on gutiar hero that we have to play at the end of this term to the whole class. This is a cool topic.

Friday 7 September 2012 <span style="color: #40bbed; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">This week we were practising our red hoddie play and similes and metaphors. We are doing plays because at the end of the year on prize giving night we are going to perform our plays. I will know when i have lkearnt my lines when i can say them without a script. This week was a fun week and we had Mrs Beere for most of the week cause Mr T was sick.

<span style="color: #b6e60f; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Friday 10 August 2012 <span style="color: #b6e60f; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">this week Mr T has been teaching us music and letting us prractise our songs we have to play on gutiar hero on the x-box. we have also been doing maori and been learning all the names of the weeks in maori and all the months of the year in maori. With Mrs Beere we are doing production and performance. We are acting out a play called 'Little Red Hoddie'. I am playing the cool hip-hop grandma. I think it is going to be fun. In reading we are reading a book called Rocco and for maths we are doing fractions and for writing we make up our own character and give it to someone else and they have to daw what we write and we gotta see if that is what we saw in our head when we were writing it. Friday 29 June 2012 <span style="color: #40bbed; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">This term we did ripper rugby and started and finished our R@W awards. We also had to come up with an inquiry question and find the answers to it. My inquiry question was how do pacific islanders make drums? With our R@W awards I worked with someone from school on a Claymation and on a video ad. With our Claymation we had only a bit of time to finish it because we were running behind but we were able to finish it in just a bit of time. With ripper rugby the senior team didn’t make it to the finals but the junior term did. At the start of the term we did work on pacific islands and making brochures and cooking and eating pacific island food. We had a big working B and now the gardens are prettier and we have more wood and a lot more. We also got a lot of new kids at the school and we might be getting 4 more next term. We also made tapa cloths and made printing blocks.

We are writing explanations because we did procedures and we changed it to explanations. We are reading Rocco because Mr T picked it out for us and we are still doing 241 x 5 sort of thing because it is in the HBJ book we are doing and we need a bit more practise on it.

<span style="color: #b6e60f; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">With my R@W work i am just about finished my Google sketch up and we have got a bit more to go on our video ad and with our Claymation because we haven’t finished making the people and painting the scene and haven’t even started taking photos. The R@W is going awesome and a lot of other peoples work is really good and is cool as.

I am going with my mum and dad and sister Rose. We are leaving Saturday morning and coming back on Monday. We are staying at this hotel that has a spa and a kid’s play area with a trampoline and in the middle of each side of the hotel is like a cars roundabout and a cool kid’s mini golf thing.

I am learning this because we had a big book of math problems to figure out so we asked our teacher Mr T and he taught us this way. I know i have learnt this because i can figure out the math problems in the book by myself like 241 x 5= 1205. <span style="color: #40bbed; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">I also learnt about the Pacific and a lot about coconut trees. We are learning this because our teacher bought a coconut and thought of school then we did the pacific. Well that's what she told me. <span style="color: #40bbed; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">We are also doing/making Claymation's, Google sketch-up, video ads and a lot more for the R@W awards. <span style="color: #40bbed; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">We are a big family and i like that.

My Holiday On Easter my family and I quickly did the Easter egg hunt then packed to go to sailor’s grave in Tairua. Thomas, Dallas, Jen, Kitch and I went in Thomas’s car, Mum, Dad, Rose and Baxxy went in mum’s car. When we got to the beach I saw these little white plastic balls. Mum and dad told me it was from a boat crash called the arena or something. Mum, Jen, Baxxy and Kitch stayed at the beach while Thomas, Dad, Dallas, Rose and I went over slippery rocks and through little puddles and on rocks where waves will come and wash our feet. After all of that we made it to a different part of the beach to get some kina. Dallas rose and I stayed at the beach and was drawing things on the sand and while Dallas was pushing a HUGE log out of the rocks and onto the sand and Rose was drawing on the sand still I found three paua shells I found two small shells and one large one. Dad and Thomas came back with lots of huge kina. After that we headed back to Mum, Baxxy, Jen and kitch and went for a swim. We couldn’t go out to far cause the waves were to big so we just played in the water and went out a little bit so we could dive into the waves. That was only Easter. For the rest of my holidays my cousin Hannah came to stay at our house for a couple of weeks then I stayed at my auntie’s house and we rode the motorbikes in the next-door neighbours paddock and kept going to the shops to buy 2 litre drinks for our self’s. Then I came home and stayed home for a few weeks then school started. I like spending time with my family because it is fun.

I like learning about Ancient Rome because i have learnt things i've never known about. I was learning TaeKwon-Do with a man named Ethan Parker but we call him Mr Parker or Sir. We learnt kicking and punching and on our last lesson we broke a green board. A lady named Jaquie Knight came to our school and was talking about her life and how she ode from Bluff to Cape Reinga with two horses and one dog and how she met the love of her life but she liked racing rally cars and he liked cricket. So she read every book she could find in cricket and the had two kids and told us about her trip to Mexico and about the forest of butterflies. She gave us some paper butterflies and told us to help save them by putting tags on them and it dosent hurt them. She made this cause the people in Mexico were poor and were chopping down the trees so they could sell the good parts and keeping the yucky parts for fire wood.

YAY camp is nearly here i can’t wait I’m really looking forward to get away and have a break from my family although my sister is coming from Monday to Friday like me and my nephew from Wednesday to Friday and my mum, dad, brother and big sister are coming to help daily. Finally i can have a swim and not have to help clean the one at home. The thing I’m looking forward to in the weekend is the gala on Sunday and my brother is coming up from the army today.

This week we had to do a technology challenge it was who could make a bridge that could hold a jar of peanut butter but it is not about the weight it is about the teamwork. There was 1 problem it was we didn't have enough paper but we made it any way. Next week i am looking forward to athletics. I JUST CAN'T WAIT!!!
