Holidays

Holidays 

This morning, we wrote 5 basic sentences about our holidays. We looked at a range of different connectives that will improve our writing. A connective is a word that joins simple sentences , e.g. such as, never the less, in spite of etc. next we spent time improving out 5 basic sentences by using connectives. Do you use connectives? If so, which ones? 

For the first week of the holidays I lazily lay on the couch most of the time watching netflix.

Nearly everyday we jumped in the car and traveled to Invercargill to see my Poppa because he was in hospital.

Despite the bad weather my mum, my brother and I still went to kidzone for the day.

For a couple days I stayed in a house that my aunty was renting in Invercargill and since it was cold my cousins and I tried to light the fire but nearly burnt the whole house down.

Near the end of the holidays we took a trip to town to watch the new spiderman movie with my cousins while eating lots of lollies and popcorn.

First Aid DLO

After our session with Felicia from St John's in Schools we realized we had learnt a lot. We thought...how can we share what we have learnt? So we brainstormed lots of ideas...from making movies to presentations to art projects. Eventually we split into groups and decided what we want to create.

My group was Emma,Carey,Khali and I and we decided to create a movie to share our learning.

Digital Dig

Digital Dig

The past couple weeks I have been working on my digi dig which is a slide that we have to complete and it teaches you some tips and small things like shortcuts you can use which using a Chromebook. I was working on getting it done in a short amount of time because I was away for a week at technology. 

Novel Study

Novel Study

For the past couple week Room 4 have been working on our novel study's. We had to do it about a book we have already read and I did Wonder by R.J Palacio. For this I was working on layering my questions with big paragraphs so my answers were clear and people could understand them.

The Milky White Chocolate

The mother of all foods; the best thing I have tasted in my life is sitting right in front of me; just waiting to be dropped in my basket. Its screaming my name, it wants me I can hear it clearly. But Mum told me to just get some things for her, now what do I need? Yes that's right I need: bacon, eggs, milk, flour and that's right that amazing block of Milky White chocolate right in front of my eyes!  Snatching it from the shelf I chucked it in my basket and rushed to the checkout.

So easy.

Lions Maths

Lions Maths

For the past 3 weeks our maths has been focused on the Lions rugby team and we had to plan a 40 day trip to New Zealand from a chosen place from where the Lions came from. My favorite part was working the entertainment and where to go.

This week for the 100WC we had to write about a small sentence that was ´The weather changed dramatically.' Our focus was using good vocab and adding semi colons. I had to work mostly on my vocab and I think that I used it very well in this story. 

We were all having an amazing time outside; the sun was shining and the birds were chirping and we have having the best time. But then out of nowhere the weather changed dramatically, the sun went away behind the clouds and the bright blue sky turned into a dark grey colour and it starting raining out of nowhere. We quickly sprinted outside and the thunder and lightning came fast! I was watching the flashes of lightning strike outside. I could hear the thunder banging and crashing on the roof; the trees were grumbling and growling and the dogs were barking.
