In reading we learnt about different myths from the Pacific islands. We made slideshows retelling a myth. My friend Otis and I did the Eel and the Flounder a myth from the Islands of Tuvalu, it is their creation story.

Abraham & Sarah

Today in class learnt about the story of Abraham & Sarah, at the start of the the story the are referred to as Abra & Sari. Then we split up into two groups, one group made a slideshow about the story but it was set in the present day and the other group did a play. I was in the group that made a slide here it is.

Mini BB Fair

Today was the Mini BB Fair. The 2 B's stand for books and baking. I bought 1 book, 2 biscuits, 3 cupcakes and 4 scones. The reason we had the BB Fair was to raise money for a mural on the power box, we managed to raise enough money. It was a really fun day.

Grandparents Day

Today was Grandparents Mass. At mass I did a big reading. After mass there was tons of food to buy. I bought 6 cupcakes, 1 sausage and 3 biscuits.  I really enjoyed Grandparents Day.

Drawing Angles

In class today we learnt how use a protractor to draw and measure angles. A protractor is like a ruler for measuring angles. I found a it bit tricky at first but after a while I got the hang of it. An angle smaller than 90 is called an acute angle. An angle between 90 and 180 degrees is called an obtuse angle. An angle over 180 degrees is called a reflex angle. I loved learning about different angles.

Hauora - Helping Hands

In class today we learnt about hauora or well being. There are 4 types of hauora - mental, physical, spiritual and social. We learnt about what can damage your hauora and who can help you mend it. We made Helping Hands, a Helping Hand is a hand were you write hauora in the palm and on each of the fingers you write one person who can help you mend your hauora. I enjoyed learning about hauora and making the Helping Hands.

Dye Experiment

Today we did an experiment using dye. The experiment was whether dye soak into a wet paper towel or a dry one. I thought that it would soak into the wet one more but as the experiment went on I quickly released I was wrong because with the wet paper it was like water trying to soak into a wet sponge. so in conclusion dry paper wins!

Mary Mackillop Day

Today was the feast day of St Mary Mackillop. Since she was the founder of our school, we went to mass. After mass we did some dot painting. Dot paint is when you get a cotton bud and dip in some paint, you use the cotton bud to make dots around a shape in this case a picture of Mary Mackillop.

once you have made a full circle of the shape repeat with a different color. I really enjoyed use my imagination in the dot painting.
