Year 5 Morning with Ms McGrath

 Today we did some things with Miss McGrath. The first thing we did was telling what we were grateful for.  Then we had to make a fortune  teller that told compliments to each other and then we had to colour it in and write some messages inside it. On my fortune teller I coloured it in and inside was some numbers and underneath the numbers was some messages.  One of my messages was...'Be Kind'

swimming at Cameron pools

 This term we have been going to Cameron Pools.

when I was there I liked being there because it was fun.

 I didn't like going under the water and jumping back on to the platform. I don't like having to take breaths and going back under. But I did like swimming back and forth to the two platform. I could do this on my front and on my back. We go to Cameron pools to learn how to swim because we are surrounded by water in NZ.

Can you swim?

ANZAC day

Today we had to do all of our work under the wires all day.

We had to do a basic facts test with all the gun fires. I did bad because of the noise.

Then we had to do some maths about ANZAC day.

We had fruit break under the wires and exercises.

Then we had to write a letter from the trenches to our family.

Then we did a pictodraw. Ms Sands read sentences and we drew a pictures.

Lastly we were blindfolded to unwind the strings.

Respect cartoon

 This week we have been doing a respect cartoon. We had to choose on of the codes of Respect. My group chose respecting other peoples property. We had to put pictures in the boxes. We made it on a google drawing. My group was Abdullah and Kiani. We used speech bubbles for the speech. Here is my cartoon, I hope you enjoy it.

Picasso Self Portrait

In our class we did a Picasso self portrait. First we had to watch a video of how to draw it.

Then we had to colour it with colouring in pencils with crazy, bright colours.

Then we used a black marker pen to draw over the pencil lines. Once we were finished, we put the portrait on our goal slideshows.

lockdown 4

 I felt excited in lockdown because I like learning from home and playing with my toys. 

My favounte school activity was maths and reading. My favourite book to read was my Pokemon book. I like eAko maths.

I'm feeling happy and sad that we are back to school. 

Day at Mummy's work

Today I went to work with Mummy.

I was lucky and was able to have a room all to myself.

I had to get up early this morning to leave home at 7.30am. Picked up breakfast from McDonald on our way in. I had a cheeseburger for breakfast.

I had trouble logging in to my morning meeting this morning, had connection issues. But sorted it out in the end by hot spotting from Mummy's mobile.

Before lunch, I did some of my tasks for the day, I read a book and did some maths.

For lunch I had some rice noodles with egg gravy, one of my favourite dishes. I almost ate the whole dish!

After lunch, I watch a movie as part of my writing task.

After that, I got to play draw on the white board and played Pokemon on my phone.
