Habitat Diorama

Today I finished my habitat diorama. I was proud of myself because I worked really hard on it. I chose to do the Oasis. An oasis is a source of water in the desert and around the desert there is some plants and maybe even a house if someone lives there. Animals don't live in oasis, they just stop there for some food and water. This is my diorama:

Crosses

Over the last few weeks we have been working on painting a cross. We did this because we would hang them over the school. I liked doing it because I really like painting. My design had the earth in the middle and some Good Shepherd School symbols around it.

Maungawhau visit

This morning some of Maungawhau school came to Good Shepherd to do some performances. They came because it was cultural language week. The performances were a Haka, a Pacific drumming and a Sasa. My favourite was the Sasa because I liked all the different sounds they used. The Sasa was amazing because they said they only had 2 or 3 practices. 

Author Visit

This morning we had an author visit. He was Raymond Huber
 His favourite book he has written was Peace Warriors. He talked about some of his books and at the end he said some writing tips. Some of his other books are Flight of the Honey Bees, Sting and Wings. I enjoyed it because I can use his writing tips in my writing.

Cross Country Inter-schools

Yesterday the people that came 1st, 2nd or 3rd from Year 3 and up went to the inter-schools cross country. It was at Monte Cecilia Park. The course was really hard because it was very hilly and there was a hill called Killer Hill because it was so hard. The day was pretty boring because your race would be around 15 minutes and the rest of the time you had to cheer and chill out. The Year Three and Fours had to do 2 laps and Year Five and Six had to do 3 laps. I liked it because I got to hang out with some of my friends. 

Maths fractions Pattern

On Monday the class did Maths fractions patterns. We had to pick 8 to 10 colours and colour it in. After we coloured it in we had to count the squares and write them in percentages, decimals and fractions. There was 100 squares and sadly we couldn't do 10 squares for each colour because it would have been to easy. I enjoyed it because I like colouring and it was very peaceful.   

Komodo dragon slide

 
For writing we have been doing information reports. We had to pick a reptile and write a slide about it. I chose the Komodo Dragon. I enjoyed it because I got to learn lots of facts that I didn't know.
