Term 1 Week 5

Monday was our school Swimming Sports. On the day I competed in 3 races. Freestyle 1 Length, Backstroke 1 Length & Breaststroke 1 Length. I tried hard to get into Hauraki Plains but I didn’t. I still have next year to try even harder. 

We had two art sessions this week and the first one we did was finishing off our designs and putting them onto our larger circles for our Landscape art.  In the second session, we spent practising painting with one colour and adding in white and black to create a light Green, Dark Green and a normal Green. What we practised painting on was our mountain shapes and we had to draw a scallop pattern then paint inside the scallop shapes. 

In reading this week we have been reading the Magic Finger by Roald Dahl. We have Book Detective tasks to complete every day and so far we have done Summariser & Predictor roles. 

Part of our maths programme is NumBots and I think I am pretty good at it because I am leveling up fast and on Steel. Numbots is really fun because they make the learning on it fun by making it Cogs, Nuts & Bolts instead of dots or just only addition and subtraction questions.
