Term 1 Highlights

The thing I enjoyed most about term 1 is art and maths, because it was really easy.  I learnt how to ask people how are you in Maori. It was tricky reading with my buddy in Room 4, because she wouldn't talk.  My favourite thing was going to food tech, because we get to eat all the food we made.  I'd like to improve the way we did maths because some groups didn't get much time with the teacher. I'm looking forward to learning Japanese next term.

Water Experiment

On Monday 2nd December, Sally from Watercare came to teach us about where water goes after we flushed it down the toilet, sink, bath and shower.  At the end we did an experiment, where we mixed some salt into containers of water and add food colorings.  Then we made a rainbow with the food colorings in a little tube by holding our thumbs at one end and the other end will not drip.  Sally said that the more salt you put in, the more dense it is.  It will sink if its dense.  The water you used this morning might be drank by a dinosaur once!

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.

Comparing Present and Future Education

I learnt that in Future Education there are lots of glass walls so there are not many wall spaces to put student's work up.

Here is my Venn Diagram about education. It shows similarities and differences between Past and Present education.
