Today in the first block our class did a spelling test, in the test you had to spell all the essential word lists from the spell write starting at list 4. I got all them correct. After spelling we did maths, in our class we have a ladder called the Addition Ladder ( It's made out of paper ) I am on + 1000 which is to steps from the top. There are 7 steps on the Addition Ladder. If you are on + 20 that means you can add up to 20, if you are on + 50 that means you can add up to 50, and so on. In the 2nd block we worked on our listening skills, reading and writing. I enjoyed writing the most, I love to write! In the 3rd block we went to the library and worked on our Wiki's.

Today In the first block I did P.E, I am in team 2 there are 4 teams I played team 4. I'm not sure who won but I couldn't play because I had a really sore ankle but I still cheered my team on. Block 1 was fun but I thought that block 2 was much more FUN! Because we had buddy time although my buddy wasn't here today I looked after Amy's buddy because she was away as well, her name is Alexa she is so cute! She is a year 2... we did spelling and fitness together! In block 3 we finished our reading sheets and worked on our Wiki's once we had finished!

Today we had Mrs Hart as our teacher she is really nice, we had her because Mrs Mayall was busy working. In the day we did SSD ( Super silent drawing! ) Two pages of math ( exhausting! ) we made our own word searches in pairs ( I was with Halle ) and we also did alot of P.E ( even more exhausting! ) Today was really fun!

It's awesome to see your regular updates. You rock Jessie! DM

Today I did the swimming sports, we went to the leisure centre. Some of the class didn't come because they didn't want to do the swimming. I participated in breast stroke, back stroke and freestyle. I came 2nd in breast stroke and made it into the finals and came 4th in the finals. I love to swim, so I liked it when we got to mess arround afterwards!

= Reflection 2/3/11 = Today was really fun because at the end of the day Mrs Mayall let us vote on a famous author and we chose Hans Christian Anderson, we got to do a character description of a character from one of his stories. I chose The Little Mermaid, I nearly finished my description but got bored so I started to draw The Little Mermaid. We also did P.E today it was fun but tiring we did 30 step ups 20 star jumps and 3 laps around the field!

Today we did lots of literecy, for literecy we worked on our character description a bit but we mostly focused on drawing the picture of our character. I've finished the first few steps of the drawing, I have made a plan, drawn the real copy,outlined it with vivid and coloured some of it in we didn't colour it all in because the background we are going to dye. At lunch Halle Amy and I went down to the bottom field and played with all the dead grass, we have dead grass on our field because everytime our caretaker mows the lawn the mowed grass lies on the fresh grass and dies. We made a heap of grass about 1 and a half metres high and made tunnels through it, it was so fun!

Today was awesome! Today was a friday which meant that it was Sausage Sizzle day! I orderd 1 sausage and 1 ice-block. We have Sausage Sizzle for lunch, for morning tea we get baking. In the last block we watched a movie with room 27, the movie we watched was called Kusko's New Groove it was really fun. In the 2nd block we had buddy class, my buddy Aliyah wasn't here today so I shared a buddy with my friend Andrea, Andrea's buddy is called Charlise. The school was going to be showing a movie after school but it was cancelled and postponed to next week because they thought it was going to rain.

Today is the weekend... YAY! I slept in until 9:00, then read my book until 10:00, my book is called Pet Trouble by T.T Sutherland, Pet Trouble is a series I have read the 1st and the 2nd I am reading the 3rd. After I finished the 2nd book, I rung some people and asked if they could come over, lots of them were busy but in the end I called Zoe, she couldn't come over but I went over there. We played Mario Kart Wii for a while... I LOVE THAT GAME! The only down side was that one of the Wii remotes needed charging so we had to take turns. After that we played on Zoe's new Ipod Touch ( she got it for christmas. ) Zoe has this really cool app called Tap Resort, the aim of the game is to build a holiday resort and listen to what the tourists need and try and help them to get what they want.

On sunday I pretty much did nothing I was to tired to get up and do anything so practically i just read my book and went on the computer until 4:45 because at 4:45 i had to leave to go do tryathlon training it was so tiring. We had to swim bike and then run. On the actual day I am going to have to bike 4 k! Just thinking about it is making me feel really tired! Once I got home I had a shower and read my book. I fell asleep at 10:30 because I stayed up a bit too late when I was reading and I didn't notice the time!

= Reflection 7/3/11 = = = Today my class did P.E I missed out because I had a cold and I wasn't allowed, so I helped Keagan try to find some white paint so we can partly paint our class bird cage. We also filled out a sheet about Christchurch and places to go and facts about the 2010 earthqauke and the 2011 earthqauke. I learnt that the earthqauke last year was 40 seconds. I also made a amazing discovery, and that discovery was that i don't exactly suite blonde! I found that out from when I went on livequartz the application and i could get a photo and drdaw on it and i made myself a blonde!

Today in the first block we picked up hay from the field, we now have two fields that are covered in hay! So we helped to pick up the hay, luckily I sprinted outside so that I could get a rake, I got one but was a bit dissapointed because it got a little boring and was less fun than I thought! After the picking up hay challenge we started on the star test, I love doing star tests, I thought it was going to be the same as last year but it turned out to be a bit harder, although I think I did well.In the second block we did drama and music, first we did drama and we went in our house groups and made a chant I was the only girl apart from Keagan. I liked doing drama but I was stuck with a lot of silly boys in my group. Next we did music, in music we made a beat and a rhythm to go with our chant, our music was ok but still the boys were being silly! In the third block I did Trash to Treasure we couldn't make anything because this was the last week before change, so we made a chart and on the chart it has ideas for what we could make at home.

Today was fun because in the second block we got to walk down to Okoromai Bay, we walked down to the beach with room 27. If you're wondering why we walked down to the beach, it's because we are getting two Quail on monday so we needed some nature for the cage. In writing Mrs Mayall started a story called " The mystery Of The Missing Bear " and we finished the story off. We only got about fifteen minutes, but I still managed to write a page and three words! We chose the missing bear topic because in our class we have two bears, one is bigger and one is a smaller mini-me! And at morning tea we discovered that the baby teddy was missing! ( You can see more about the teddy bears on room 28's home page. ) In block three we painted the bird cage white, so that the back ground wasn't an ugly brown colour! Only a few people got to paint the bird cage, luckily I got picked along with Amy, Halle, Campbell, Harry A and Lewis.

Today in the first block we did maths. For maths we were gonna play a game called 21, but just when we were about to play the boys started talking. So instead Mrs Mayall wrote some math problems on the board. Next It was feed and read, we are reading a book called Boom Max brought the book in. It's really funny! In the second block we did literacy, for literacy we wrote a story called The Mystery Of The Missing Bear It's really funny! In the last block we went to library, I am reading a book called The Amazing Days Of Abby Hayes, It's ok but It gets a little boring at times! After Library we did RLL ( Real Life Learning. )

Today Keagan, Sophie and I painted the quail cage, we chose to paint it a rainbow pattern. Everything was going fine until Keagan accidently nocked the yucky paint water! It went every were, it was a disaster! In block two we had buddy time, for buddy time we went to our buddys class room ( Room 20 ) and they read a book to us. After they read a book we went outside with them for sport, for sport every buddy got a ball that they could play with, my buddy and I played with Rosie and her buddy, Halle and her buddy, and Crystal, Crystal had no buddy at the time so we were looking after her.

Today we got our Qauil! We have one male and one female. We can't decide on what to call them so we are having a vote, go on room28 home page and there'll be a list of names. Please vote for Popett and Perry ( I voted for them! ) The male qauil is always scampering around in the sandy cage where as the female qauil is always tucked up in the little hut, I suspect she has been traumatized by the loud voices! We also did 20 minutes of silent reading, I read a book called Around The Twist by Paul Jennings, It's pretty funny!
