Maths Mystery Week 9

 Today I worked with Shirley to do a Maths Mystery!! I really enjoyed working with her because I have never worked with her before.

The Maths Mystery was about a trophy thief and the culprit was Mollie.

For clue One we worked out that the culprit had a metal drink bottle.

For clue two we worked out that the thief was a female.

For clue three we found out that the thief was a year three.

For clue four we worked out that she is size nine.

And clue five was that she played for the blue team.

I found this Maths Mystery really easy but I still enjoyed it. I think I put in a Supernova effort.

Play, Make, Create

This week for Play, Make, Create we read Giraffes Can't Dance. 

I worked with Katelyn. We decided to create a scene in the book and I think it turned out really well.

We decided to do a collage using a magazine as our background and added the other elements on top. We also used coloured paper for the grass, crape paper for the dance area and string for his tail.

The hardest part was glueing all magazine strips on the background and the easiest part was the creating the moon.

I think that our Play, Make, Create this week is a Supernova!

Week 5, Term 1, 2021

Monday was our school Swimming Sports and it was really fun. Before my races, I was really nervous, my legs were shaking and I had goosebumps all over me. But I think did really well and I made it into Hauraki Plains which is this Monday.

In literacy this week we have been book detectives. We are reading the Magic Finger by Roald Dahl. So far we have done a summariser and a predictor on the book.

Part of our maths program is NumBots. I am on Aluminium (which is the tenth level) and am aiming for diamond (which is the eighteenth level).

Last week we read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and for the Whetu Challenge, we make/research or anything related to it. I worked with Katelyn to make a picture of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We made the caterpillar out of cardboard and painted the background.

Week 4, Term 1, 2021

The most interesting/fun thing we have done during class time this week is doing a piece of writing. I really enjoyed starting it and can not wait to do more.

We started our art this week and I have chosen to do art with Mrs Kennedy.  Our art is going to be landscapes. I have chosen to do this art because it’s very bright and colourful.

We created our Whetū stars on Thursday and they look amazing. Mum came in and helped me make it.  I added pictures of Mum, Dad, Jackson, Tess and Ruby. I also did some patterns around the outside to make a Supernova.

Next week we have our school swimming sports. I am feeling really excited and also really nervous. I am excited because I love swimming and feeling nervous because I am going up against my friends. My goal is to make it into Hauraki Plains.

Term 1 Week 3 - 2021

One thing I have really liked this year are the Whetu Challenges. Last week we did a house challenge and Orewa won!!!

Two words that describe learning in Whetu are...

Awesome and Fun.

Something I am looking forward to this year is more Whetu Challenges and moving up on Numbots.

The most fun thing I have played this year at morning tea and lunch is crocodile on the big blue with Tayla, Katelyn, Shirley, Haven, Scarlett and Marley.

I am really looking forward to this year in Whetu!

Case Closed

 This morning Mrs Taaffe came in and we showed her the evidence that leads up to her, which was...

• She came to school on the day of the crime.
• She attaches an HDMI Cable to her device regularly because she's having trouble chrome casting.
• She wears scrunchies.
• Her fingerprints were everywear in the crime scene.
• She had a cut in the holidays on her wright hand wrist.
• She parked out by the office.

Then she confessed that she did it, her story was...

She came into school to drop some things off. She had deactivated the alarms in the office because she haddent indented on coming to Whetu. She was having trouble chrome casting so she decided to pop over to Whetu to borrow the HDMI Cable, but when she was grabbing the HDMI Cable she noticed there was a jar of chocolates and she didn't think anyone would notice if any were gone because it was the holidays. When she went to leave she couldn't open the door so she tryed again and the handle sliped out of her hand, then she cut her hand on the door frame. Then she finally opened the door and ran out. She stoped behind the bush for a while because she didn't know if the door shut behind her, Then carried on to her car out the front of the office.

It happened on the 10/10/20 around 12pm-1pm, in the Whetu Team.

I am really happy we solved the crime!!!

Letter of the Week

Today I did Letter R. 2 weeks ago I missed letter R so I went back and did it. I think the funniest bit is the rhyming words because I like my pictures.

I think my Letter R Letter of the Week is a Supernova!
