REFLECTION

Maths:For maths i found that the work we did on the mat was really easy.The write what strategies you know sort of  caught me off guard.My real favourites of working things out though are:

• Tidy tens
• Algorithms

  

Writing:The speech topics didn't really pop out at me this year.I decided on combining kids today lack integrity and just because we can does it mean we should.I have been looking up some heavy facts for my speech like kids learn from their role models so if someone did something bad and it happened to be the role model they would copy and do the same thing.

Reading:I have finished 5 books for the 100 book challenge.I am enjoying the all activities we are being set except one.Weekly spelling.

    Reflection

 Reflection

Maths:This week we learnt about 3d and 2d shapes like a cylinder a sphere,a cube,a rectangular prism and a triangular prism.The sphere relates to a circle the cube relates to a square.We also did algorithms with 3 digit 4 digit and 5 digit numbers.

Reading:Weekly spelling takes too much time to do and it does’ nt teach me anything.

Writing:We were focusing on speeches for writing this week.

We did jump,under,over find.The little kids loved our game.I enjoyed playing the game with the little kids .Me and Emily and keira did it with me .We also teamed up with William,Braxton and Lewis.The little kids had a great time and we could tell because their were smiles all over their faces.I enjoyed playing with them and they were delighted when we told them that they could keep their prizes!!!!!!!!The little kids were amazing.

Milk monitor trip

10 milk monitors were chosen to go to Te awamutu, fonterra. One of these people was me.As we got of the bus I saw a large building.The top of the building was made of blue watery glass.As we walk in I saw what i was not expecting.A staircase was hiding a bunch of trolleys and some hay bales,but it could not hide the herd of cow balloons that were held down by party favors. The stone staircase lay dead still as we climb the staircase not really knowing what was at the top.As we near the end of the climb chatter spreads along like wild fire.  Long trestle tables lye in the room.As we sit down Claire introduces herself.Claire tells us that it is morning tea even though we just got there.There are yogurts,water and fruit.I take a water and sit back down.After morning tea we get given another band,a hat and a lanyard.The lanyard will let us get around the factory without getting thrown out. Dwan comes out and tells us what we have to do.It sounds fun(and embarrassing) We get given a number and the person with the number you were given was the person you were with.Me and Keira were with Tracy.Tracy told us that we were teaming up with another group.Luckily it was another pirongia group. Dwans group! In the other group was Isla,Lily and Lexi .We went down the stone steps to grab our trolley.I was the trolley pusher,Lily the bell ringer,Lexi and Keira the main singers.We went round the offices singing and telling them to come into the kitchen to watch our presentation.As we got into the kitchen for the first time the adults flooded into the kitchen to watch.We handed the milk out to the adults,we also handed out some milk facts. Dwan read them out the adults.Then came the best bit we played...........THE PIE FACE GAME!!!!A man came up and got a face full of cream! So did the rest of the adults.Then we had a milk folding competition.The winner got a tea voucher so did the first person who played the pie face game. At the end of the day we went up in the great glass elevator !!!
we each got a cow balloon and we went away happy and full of laughter.    

inquiry

Inquiry

Integrity games

Treaty of waitangi

Music

For inquiry we rotated from room 10 to room 9 and then to room 8.We did this for 8 week.We went on field trips to see what it was like when the Maori/ Pakeha war was happening and what mistake they made on the treaty of waitangi that ruined the hole point of the treaty.We researched went on more trips and put our information to use.We then filmed our self talking about  what we had researched.

Integrity games:We made up a game that would be fun,different and entertaining.We didn't have much time to make them up.The couldn't be the same as games we already knew. Jump,under, over find was awesome!!We didn't need to much equipment compared to other groups.The little kids loved our game,we could tell by their smiles and laughter.

Music:Playing the keyboard was fun.The guitar was even better!I loved playing the guitar strings and it was definitely harder than ukulele!  

➶Reflection➶

Maths:It really mucked me up when we tried kaydens way to do the 31 x 4.It really confused me and i couldn't do the rest of them without getting it wrong.

Reading: Yesterday (Thursday)I thought that i had to much work to do with the handwriting and word find and the long o sentence and make your own word find and the armadillo writing.

Writing: I don't know what to write i don't really like anything about writing.

  🎀REFLECTION🎀

Maths:I m not really a fan of fractions and didn't really get them that much but i would like to have a recap session.The dot grids i found ok.I wouldn't chose to do them but i don't mind doing them.

Writing:I like doing similes so i find metaphors ok.But they're not my favourite.I sort of like converting similes into metaphors.

Reading:My fave like reading my chapter book instead of the journal i take home.    

✍Reflection✍

Maths:I like doing the area game with my best friends(keira and Emily )but i think it puts me off being the only girl in my group.I like doing doubles and halves for warm ups,it helps me think a bit more.

Reading:i have been doing  a lot of reading at home and over the week i have finished 3-4 books.I really like doing brain banks as activities.

Writing:I don't really like writing and we haven't done much of it.  

🌸assembly🌸

We spent a week practicing and rehearsing for the week 4 assembly.Finally the day came.Room 8 did tempo,fast and slow.Amy was the conductor.At the end  we did a mix  of all the classes.It sounded awesome . Room 10 was singing integrity and room 9  was do the right thing and room 8 was when no ones watching.While we were singing were playing with rakau sticks.Then we shared our potipoti  flowers (flax flowers) we had made.
