Term 2

During Term 2 my 2 favourite things that I did was the Holy Spirit art and Swimming. The reason why I liked these 2 things was because first I really love to paint pictures and design my own creations. Also the reason why I liked to swimming is because I love to be in the water and I also love to find different ways to swim. How I felt when I was doing art was awesome because Art is one of my favourite subjects and because I like to use paint. How I felt about swimming was  amazing because I like to backstroke and have free time at the end of the lesson.

The most least thing that I disliked for me during Term 2 was Football and the cookie thinking keys. I disliked those 2 activities was because first I don’t really like to kick and that we don’t get to touch the ball, also I don’t like the Cookie thinking keys was because really for me it wasn’t really fun and I did find some difficult and hard questions. How I felt about playing Football was exhausting because we had to move around alot and my legs kept on getting tired. How I felt about the cookie thinking keys was difficult because it was hard on some keys and really different to answer.

What I am really looking forward to Term 3 is going to the kids 4 kids concert and playing a new kiwi sport league. I am really looking forward to these 2 events because I can’t wait to perform in front of a whole crowd and I can’t wait to sing with more people and Jackie Clarke and Nathan King. I also can’t wait to play the new kiwi sport because I like to try different sports each year.

Religious Education Work

I broke my Mother's  favourite mug when I was reaching to grab something from the pantry. The first thing I did was say sorry and said to her that I will fix it. Then I tried to fix it and make it look like it was brand new again. When I had finished I was really sorry for what I had done but then at the end eventually my Mum forgave me.

Week 8 - Melbourne, Learning

On Tuesday on Week 8 at 3:30pm Miss G and Mrs Tui left to go to Melbourne, Australia. 

While Miss G was in Melbourne, Australia she had an awesome time. She went there with 21 other teachers. The reason why Miss G and Mrs Tui went there was to see how to make our school a modern learning environment. She saw huge classrooms there and really cool rooms and stuff. In Melbourne they don't call them classrooms they called them Learning Neighborhoods. She visited 8 schools, the names of the schools she saw were Broadmeadows, Silverton Primary, Berwick Chase, Danderong High, Hume High, Meadows Primary and Broadmeadow Valley Primary. On her last day at Melbourne she went to the rugby with some other teachers, she said that it was about 1 degree. The time she flew back to New Zealand was 1:30am. 

She also said that she woke up to plenty of sunshine and had heaps of food. When she came back she bought us some tiny Koala toys. 

While she was away Room 3 had lots of fun as well but not as much as Miss G. My favorite thing that I did was make my cookie construction with my partner.
