Term+4+Week+5-8

Week 5 :D Monday

Today in the first block we did RLL, I am in a group with Awatea, Halle, Andrea and Amy. Our group decided to focus on space art, because we all love art! I finished one of my pieces, it was the colour shades of different types of blue and an occasional green splash! I also added a planet in the background and a spinning vortex. Then I started on another piece of art, Forst I drew a bit of earth in a corner, then I painted the rest of the background black, then once the background had dried I added splodges of gold and sliver paint to add the effect of sparkly stars. Then I let my master piece dry!!!!!! In the second block we read a chapter of the book we are reading called Animal Farm. I like this book, and Miss Mayall has us discuss what happened in the chapter afterwards, I think that part is really cool to! Then we went back to our RLL. And in the third block we had RLL AGAIN!

Wednesday

Sorry I didn't update yesterday, I was really busy! So, today was our immersion day, we are focusing on art so I bought heaps of art supplies into class. But it was annoying because a certain SOMEONE in my group kept annoying me when I was trying to work. So the whole day we did art, but in the third block we had Glee H S, it was really fun. I painted three pictures and painted the background for my next picture. And Halle and I were the only ones who brought in atr supplies when all of us were meant to pitch in so I wasn't so happy about that.

Friday ( . . )

Sorry I didn't update yesterday, I was really busy AGAIN!

= Week 7 = = = = I am so so sorry that I havn't updated. I hope this makes up for my lack of writing. I am going to put all the sentences Miss Mayall has mentioned me, on Room 28 wiki. Here we are! =

=== We also looked at the works of Hans Christian Andersen and the class all selected one of his stories to read. They then chose one of the characters to write a description on and will be creating a picture of, to display in the library. Jessie, Amy and Rosie wrote some amazing descriptions === === I took a guided writing session. It was the Mystery of the Missing Teddy Bear, that disappeared and somehow turned up in my office; I don't know how it ended up there.... All of the writers in the group were awesome, I was especially impressed by the enthusiasm and effort coming from Quinn, Jessie , David , Connor , Giancarlo , Harvey , Raymond , Lewis and Halle. === === We are enjoying them so much that we are going to write our own for the rest of the term, so we spent the remainder of the afternoon creating mind maps of ideas and endings. Max and Jessie both had these great big mind maps after only a few minutes, I can't wait to read your stories. === === I can't even count how many times I have called students over to congratulate them on some of their recent results or work. There was Raymond, Giancarlo, Bree, Jessie , Keagan , Pierre, Campbell, Pieter, Medes- wow I was so impressed with Medes! ===

Well done to the three girls from our class who went up the front and showed everyone how to move! Jessie, Keagan and Sophie! What talented dancers you all are.
=== I have to recognise Math Group 2 (fantastically original name I know) today. The members of this group are Blake, Harry , Pieter , Quinn , Rosie and Jessie , and they were brilliant today. They were working on an advanced multiplicative strategy where they have to use halving and doubling, or trebling and thirding. They were a little cautious at first, but got quite excited when they were able to apply. Jessie even took her workbook to the library at morning tea so she could continue solving problems using the strategy. === === Halle, Andrea , Jessie , Amy and Awatea have put their creative hats on and wanted to create some amazing, space-themed art. They have been painting away and experimenting with different brushstrokes and colour blends. ===

Tuesday
In the first block we did maths. For maths we worked on geometry. We worked as a class. Once we had discussed the topic, Miss Mayall set us a few pages in a math text book. I worked with Halle. Halle and I worked really well together. This math was pretty easy for me, I actually found it fun! Once we had finished our book work, Miss Mayall assigned the class to make some shapes and tell what we think about the lines. When we had finished it was morning tea. For morning tea, Andrea, Awatea, Vanessa, Alex and I played man hunt with the boys. It was really fun, and I didn't get in! In the second block we had to finish are sheet and then we looked on the wiki and had to find all the sentences that we were mentioned in, and put them on our own wiki's. I did that in no time. Once we had finished Halle and I went on mathletics. I earned 1000 points, so I got my name on the board. When it was lunch. Nearly all the girls joined in on playing man hunt. This made it even MORE fun! In the third block we updated wikis. Then at 2:00 we had Mr Petrie come and teach us, because Miss Mayall was going to look at her new school. To have Mr Petrie ( Our principle ) wasn't actually that scary.

=  Thursday   =

In the first block we looked at all the Space Projects that were due, I did my project on stars. We rated our projects with a 3 star criteria. Mede's critiqued mine, he gave me three stars! YAY! Miss Mayall also gave me three stars! I was so happy! At morning tea, I played in the sand pit. In the sand pit, a group of girls and I made a city with tunnels, and all! Then in the second block we did maths, we did maths in a text book. After maths we watched some funny videos on you tube. Is was really fun! At lunch I stayed inside to update my wiki. In the third block we had cooking. It was really sad because it was the last cooking session we were going to have for the rest of the year. We made cookies, mini hamburgers, crepes, and watermelon slushy, they were so GOOD!

=  Friday   =

Today in the first block Miss Mayall started a friday with a math test. BORING! I did okay in it, I got one wrong.
