Anzac Pamphlets

For ANZAC Day this year we made pamphlets. Me and my friend Ruby did one together. The pamphlets were about an item and it's owner's story. We decided to do a violin string. There were many books made about the owner of it including The ANZAC Violin. I thought the story of the violin was really interesting.

When the pamphlets were done we put them in red pockets. This is how ours turned out. 

Growth Mindset Brain

For inquiry this term our class is learning about Growth Mindset.
 Growth mindset is when you have a positive attitude towards learning. To practice having one you need to accept what you're not good at and set goals to achieve it my class made a growth mindset brain with ways to get a growth mindset on it. Here is how it looks.

Being In Room 7 For a Day

Yesterday Ruby, Emelia and I went to Room 7 for the day. Ruby and my friends Ella and Sophie were put into Room 8 with someone else. Though we were split up we had a great day. All of us sat together on the spare table while we did work from our schedule.
We took scissors, a pencil, a pencil case, our Chromebook and our mouse. To start off with we did Writing on Noredink before doing Reading on Freckle and Epic. Then we did a Saint Joseph pamphlet. Before we could finish the lunch bell rang. After lunch, I used the afternoon time to do some more mindfulness
colouring. I didn't manage to finish but I got a lot done. Later we continued with our colouring while calming mindful music played.
A few minutes later it was the end of the day. It was one of the busiest days ever!     
      

Reading Posters

this week for reading my teacher let us do study posters. we had to choose an animal to do it on. I chose giant pandas my friends Emma, Ella, Sophie, and Ruby helped with pictures the reason I chose Giant pandas is because they are my favorite animals I learned a lot of new facts about them I even found out about some new jokes wanna hear one why do pandas have fur coats? because they'd look silly in denim jackets here is how the poster looks.

Being In Room 5

"my new class for 2019 is room 5 it's been pretty different to room 9 but I enjoy it. During the first and second week of school we did lots of cool art I really enjoyed it to celebrate Waitangi day this art mostly represents the koru which is a Maori plant we used lots of different colours we did this in week one the week before Waitangi day. Our art is now displayed in our class to honour the Maori people from back then when they signed the treaty" . in week two the year sixes came back from camp and joined their classes in room five 
our teacher gave us puzzle pieces to decorate .when we finished 
they were put outside of our class for everybody to see.

Shrove Tuesday

it's Shrove Tuesday! This morning we burnt the palms from Palm Sunday 2018 AKA last year with Father Bernard and two people from our parish.

  After doing that we got back on to doing work in the afternoon and then before going home we joined Room 1 to make pancakes. We had lots of fun teaching the little kids.
While we did our blog they did drawing and writing and some of us read to them . The teachers called people up to get a pancake while the others stayed doing their blogs. While making the pancakes the room smelt delicious. The reason we make pancakes 
is to use up all the flour , milk  and sugar before Ash Wednesday.
