Christmas Decoration

Kia ora,

This week we have been asked to make some decorations for christmas trees.

We are going to be selling them tomorrow ( Thursday 28th November) We are selling the decorations to fundraise money for the years 5&6 ski trip in 2020. At this very moment we are still making decorations to get ready for tomorrow. 

We are making these for people to buy because  the money will go to the ski trip next year.

We may have used polystyrene or toilet rolls. Our teacher Mrs B spent $120 for our decorations and some things were free from the school. Some of us used different kinds of glue such as glue guns or glue stick but what I think worked the most was the glue gun. 

What I  liked about this activity was that we did lots of art.

What I disliked was the power cut off when I was gluing my snowflake.

The first thing Grace and I made a wreath and then I made my snowflake even though the power went out. 

Spelling Practise term 4

Kia ora,
This week we have made a slideshow to show how we are using our Chromebooks while doing spelling. We were suppose to get to list 8 but not much of us did but I finished and I got up to list 8. The thing I liked about this activity was that we were using google slides and the thing I didn't like about this activity was that at first I didn't know what root words were and it wasn't until our teacher ( Mrs B ) showed us a website and there is a link in on the last slide for people who want to use the website. I hope you like this slideshow.

Margaret Peters spelling test

Kia ora everybody

Today, we sat the Margaret Peters Spelling Test. I scored 45 which gives me a spelling age of 12.8.

At the beginning of the year, I scored 41 and had a spelling age of 12.4

So, I improved my spelling age by .4. My actual age is 10yrs 5months so I'm doing great in spelling.

I think I got this result because I was confident and I was working hard on my practice.
