Term 3
This Term has been so much fun!We did lots of:
-art
-sports
-activities
-literacy/reading + maths
-writing
-R.E/ Religious Education
As you should know my class LOVES to do art. All of those bright colours and patterns, so far what I have learnt/learnt more about is primary colours red,yellow,blue
secondary colours orange,green,purple
warm colours red,orange,yellow,pink
cool colours green,blue,purple I really enjoyed doing art because it´s my hobby and I love doing it.
Sports is really cool and it helps keep you fit when we are doing kiwi sport.My school does lots of sports one of our most valued sport is X-Country-(cross country) We practice X-Country by running around the school block or doing the beep test.Once the big day has come we didn't just run around the field a few times, my school was so dedicated in what we do that the Cutler family allowed us to run around their farm.What a turn out it was, practically the whole school turned up and ran the 3ks up hill, down hill and through the slippery,squishy, splodgy mud! We couldn't have done X-Country without Mrs Cutler...
Thanks Mrs Cutler!
This Term we also did lots of cool activities like:
science,art projects,games and our new addition Kapa-Haka.
All of these activities were very exciting for one of them we made our own homemade crystals!Popcorn,sherbet,going on trips like when we went to the museum!It was really fun and enjoyable when we did these activities I can't wait to see what we do next term.
During Literacy and maths we did cool tasks like
Literacy-Art,geography,history
Maths- Geometry,art,symmetry
While we did these things the teacher (Mrs Cutler) made all of these normal school things fun!Like turning geometry and symmetry into art, and making history interesting when we found out that our home town had some cool backstory! I wonder what else
New Zealand has tucked away in books.
Writing has been a big step-up for me.We learnt how to write a newspaper article,how to write a speech and we were so lucky that we had the opportunity to meet and spend some quality with
Des Hunt.Who helped me with writing by saying.'Show don't tell'
Eg-The dappled light shined through the damp dew on the leaves that fell to the leafy carpet of the forest floor.
Just by reading that sentence I think that it just rained, because the light shined on the dew-water on the forest floor.
Showing not telling.
I really enjoyed this Term, I had a jolly time learning all sorts of new things with my friends beside me.I got some of my learning done like basic facts.I can't wait for Term 4 and hope that everyone has a great holiday.
What do you look forwards to next Term? Why?

40 Days of Lent Challenge
40 Days of Lent Challenge
When Lent started the class was set to do a challenge called-40 Days of Lent.We got a sheet full of good deeds to do for the challenge and we had to glue it into our Faith Journal.Once we have completed a task we colour that area in.The objective was to complete the sheet and colour as many sections as possible.
This challenge was fun and I completed most of the sheet.This challenge helped us and made us better as people on the inside and outside little by little.
Why not give this challenge a try,how many of these can you accomplish in 40 days?
How many of these tasks have you already done?

How to write an Newspaper Article
Writing a Newspaper Article
Today in my class we are learning how to write a newspaper article for our class newspaper we are going to work on.
There is a difference between writing and Newspaper writing.
In writing you normally write from your perspective
-example
( I was on my way to the dairy we suddenly a robber dashed out past me with bags load of glimmering coins.) There are lots of adjectives and wow words, and words like I,me and my. In Newspapers there are no wow words and you're writing from a third person perspective/point of view.
Next Newspapers are simple and short-but not too short.
Here is a brief short reminder of what you need to write a Newspaper Article:
1-Headline/Title
2-Byline-By (your name)
3-Short article from 3rd person point of view
4-Quick conclusion/outro

Ice Skating
Ice Skating
On Daffodil Day, Me and my class went to Te Ahu Center for ice skating.We had to pay close attention to the rules for safety conditions.Once we were all geared up we were ready to skate!At first it was really hard to get use to skating and balancing but we made-do.The Ice skating ring wasn't really ice it was just really hard plastic but the skates were real steel,That's why we had to be careful attention to follow the rules properly and wear gloves to protect hands,helmets to protect heads and get up properly if we slip over.Then there was a competition.....
!GIRLS vs BOYS!Musical Statues,when the music stopped we had to try not to fall over.If we did that would be a point to the boys/girls.Unfortunately the boys won,but the girls still got to get in on the prize... BUBBLES! We had lots of fun, even if we fell over.
Have you ever been Ice Skating?
