Term 3 Reflection

Making Google draw is the activity I enjoyed most.  I enjoyed it because I like to make shapes, change colours and playing with fonts.  I also enjoyed swimming.  I really like the last session because we played games and raced races.  The thing I remembered most is when the swimming teacher is trying to let us vote to play Stuck in the Mud, Tag or races.  We all talked.  “If you keep on talking we’ll play Simon says.” she said as a joke.  But we all say “Yeah lets play Simon says.”  I made it into the finals but another person won.  I learn something new this term.  I heard it before, but I never got on.  I played on it every now and then when I know how to get on.  I am very proud of my art this term.  We drew photo-real pictures.  My picture looks really like the photo!  Next term I need to study hard on vocabulary because on the test it says that my vocabulary is a little less the average.

Evening Performance Night 1

I was pleased with my performance because I shouted my line so everyone can hear. I am also pleased with my class because they have big actions and energy. We still need to work on timing, no talking and go down stage quicker. We can make our class performance better last night by singing and doing more big actions. We need to remember to stop talking when coming on stage, baby footsteps when coming on and off and no talking when coming off stage. We also need to remember to stop shouting when the other classes come on stage.

Reading Response - Taupo

 I read an article called Taupo.  It is about huge volcanoes, Lake Taupo is the main volcano.  I learnt that you can know how volcano ash came from by looking, feeling, and testing the mixtures of chemicals of the layers of the mud.  Also I learnt Lake Taupo is a volcano, it erupt in AD 186 and the whole year the sky is covered in ash.  The crops don't ripen and dust darkened the air and blocked the sun.  I think that NZ's most volcanoes are extinct, I wished that Lake Taupo won't erupt any more.

Bruce Potter Visit

kAHA the KEA
Yesterday Bruce Potter came to our school to visit.  Unfortunately, half of our school went to rugby.  We came to the hall early in the morning, about 10:30.  He talked to us about drawing.  He illustrated two books, Penny the prolific pooing cow and Kaha the kea.

He sang us songs about those two books.  Our time is up, we got back to class.

After morning tea, I went to the school library.  He taught me how to draw horses, and you can start shading without the outlines.  He shade a face of a man, it looks so real!  I drew a horse with huge eyes.  He gave me his E-mail and R8 children came to interview.
