What good are wings without the courage to fly ?

Last Friday it was pink shirt day, we all wore pink .we have to were pink because we need to
speak up that is why we wear pink. We need to support the people that don't have the courage to speak up.  

For pink shirt day our teacher said that we had to paint 4 pink  feathers per classmate. we had different shades of pink feathers.  Later our teacher cut the pink feathers and put it in a angel shaped paper.  It had a sentence above it , What good are wings without the courage to fly.It might not make any sense ... it means you have a talent, but what good is it when you have no courage to us it.

Why do we need to stand up to bullies. I think if we all stand up, the world could change into a better place. 

  

    

My pohutukawa art

 

Last term our class did some pohutukawa art. I was really excited, because I love art. We were doing this because we were learning about the native forest in New Zealand . We had to make a the branches the right size, not to small not to big, that would be a bit tricky. The flowers I think are going to be easy. 

We started with some photos that we had to draw. We were using dye to make it more beautiful .We could use black and white crayons. The white was when we put the dye it looks more realistic and the black for the outlying We  first drew the branches, then the flowers . The first one was a draft. It was very soft , but on the hard copy it would be way rougher .

We  then started on the hard copy, it was going to be so much fun. My branches and flowers were perfect to me . It took as a few days to finish our art work. When I finished my art work it looked very beautiful.

       

My end of term

In our class  we learned about money it was fun that 100c is 1 dollar. we learned giving money, building money and  giving change.In maths we also learned division and multiplication    

In RE we learned about saints. I don't have favourite saint, I like all the saint's.  

 In Inquiry we did our solar system. we learned all the planets then we got to make the solar system but not real one. First we constructed it, then we painted 

In writing we did fairy tales, letter's and lot more. I also like writing and I can write very good. We did free writing, every body could write about anything, I wrote about a fairy tale.

My cross county experience

 On cross country day I woke up early in the morning , I was very exited to go and have some fun. First of all I paced a yummy lunch to eat and some water to drink, then I got a towel it was a bit small but I still did put it in my bag .Later before going to school I ate rise and some fish.

Later my mum drove to school,  I got my bag and went to my class, I had a small brother he went in another class.When I reached my class room I was more exited to goo! first my teacher wrote a number in our hands some people had four and all the others had three after putting our numbers we got outside and we sat down, after a while all the teachers put as in pairs after putting as in pairs, we got into a enormous bus then we drove of to the farm when we got there, there was a canteen, because I was starving I got my money out of my purse then I got a bowl chocolates it was for tow coins, there was other things like American hot dogs and banana cake. First the year 8 stated, it took a long time,it almost it took half and hour. Later the year 6 were going and it took the same time, next the year 5 went but it was a bit shorter. Later the year fours started to run and this is when I got more exited because it was almost my turn but the year twos and ones, after all the year ones and twos had gone it was the my turn to run first I got to the place it was big track when I started to run I was a bit dark then went thorough a tree it was a bit easy because there were orange arrows after a some time I reached a lake my teacher was in the other side, there was a wobbly piece of wood I walked thorough the wobbly piece of but I did not fall down. Next I reached a slippery part and I sided thorough the grass and I was almost in the end, when I finally reached the end, I was exhausted. I was last but still I had fun.  

Later we went back to the bus it took the same time to reach to our school, when we reached there it was very sunny, so I payed with my friend's. Later it stated to rain heavily so we went in one of the class, after a long time, my came to pick as up and we drove to our house .Thank you for listing to my cross country day                              

What I have been learning about

In maths, I have been learning about division, counting and multiplication. I always practice my counting at school. In division I know the number get's smaller. In multiplication the number get's bigger.

In literacy I do reading and writing. In reading read  a book called wear's my gumboot ? I enjoyed reading it. In writing, I write about the weekend's and try to write in paragraphs.

During  science I have doing materials. Like wool, fabric, metal, plastic and wood.We can lot's of items with them. like wood,we can make pray tables and lot's of other things.

This is my RE I have been doing, I have done creative prayers and I was very relevant when I do my RE. When we do group work in RE we are a bit nosy. 

Thank you for listening.
