Making Kites!

On Friday, the 26th of June room, 1 and 2 created kites.

There are tons of prizes. One prize is for the most traditional kite, That means the kite that is most related to Maori. Another prize is for most creative, so that prize was the one that had great ideas. There is also one that is the best plan, that means the best and creative thinking,  then building what’s on the plan. Before the end is the people's choice, where we get most of the classes of our school to vote on who’s they think is the best, not by who is the most popular.

Last but not least is the best teamwork award, Its for the team who worked best together.

Kite making involves lots of creativity and teamwork. Me and my buddy had all the materials we needed. I bought some cool stuff from home that would help us a lot. Tyton, collected some bamboo leaves that would make an awesome tail for our kite. The most creative and traditional kite got chosen by the lovely Mrs Sandifer. The most traditional kite was Annalise and And Olivia and the most creative kite was Liam and Celia.

Here is a picture of our kite:

22.6.15- Plant observation!

Thursday= 22cm

After weekend= 32cm

It grew 10cm in 4 1/2 days.

WOW 

<<<<THURSDAY

<<<<MONDAY

The plant growth has happened really fast over the 

weekend Look at the difference... It has already 

reached the top. The green must produce good light 

for the plant to grow. At the start it had 6 leaves. 

After the weekend it now has 8 leaves. Its colour hasn't 

changed, it only looks different in the photos because they

were taken in different places. The obstacles did not stop the 

plant, but at the top it couldn't get out so it eventually snapped :( 

Because it snapped I think the plant will die. :(

ART!

Our ART was being done with Mrs Tolsma. We painted flowers and made bugs with plastic and wires. I really enjoyed it. We started some new art with our own teachers. We are doing some art to do with Matariki. We are making Maori cloaks and making a wall about them. It needs basic designs that look good, its really fun! Here's a photo about our flower out with Mrs Tolsma:

Speed writing:

Yesterday I woke up thinking.. Man i’m tired. I had just finished the first week of school, and Saturday and Sunday. I knew it was school tomorrow, and we got Monday off for ANZAC day. Today is Monday, and i’m at my friends house, on Saturday I went to his house and came home later. Then the next day, Sunday, I went for a sleepover, and that leads up to now. Annoyingly I woke up at like 4:30, so I had to lay down for 2 and a half hours, and as I waited I started to feel very hungry. It was getting really annoying. Ruben finally woke up at 6:55, and we waited till 7:00 to get up. We headed downstairs and played on the Xbox. We waited for Rubens parents to wake up so we could have breakfast, toast! Mmm It felt so good to get food in my stomach after soo long! Me, Ruben Nathan and Sam all got a bit tired of the devices, so we all struggled up to the field at the top of the house to play cricket. We spent ages playing cricket, until it started to rain. The rain and wind blew around the house and we were forced to stay inside. Me and Ruben went back to playing nerf wars and playing on the Xbox, and Sam and Nathan went to go do whatever they were doing. Haha. It was such a great day.

This my speed writing a while ago, but I think Its kinda cool!

My own plant!

We also planted our own plant, I decided not to sacrifice my plant, and I kept it growing, even though its quite small compared to others:

Working in the garden!

This week I have been learning about measurement and shapes. I have learned how to measure using a ruler, like 1cm=1m. I learnt more about squared metre/ area. The trickiest part was finding out how much squares were in the whole garden, then taking away the squares that are taken up by building, but each square of grass was $3. I enjoyed choosing where to put the buildings on the map. Next time I need to make sure that I get the measurement right the first time.
