rich, dark, chocolate fudge

I am crazy about cuddling my cute fluffy cat.
I am addicted to rich dark chocolate fudge.
I never tire of crawling in to my small fun secret hut.
I can consume a bag of crunchy salty chips.
I wear a white t-shirt and dark blue jeans.
I love running in the park that has flowers and trees growing.
I like playing my red precious shiny violin.
I adore my adorable fuzzball puppy.

Te Reo Maori

Our Te Reo Maori focus is on the classroom or 'akomanga'.  Students learned names of objects around the classroom.

Next the students learned to say a question and answer in Maori.

He aha tenei?  (What is this?)
He ________ tenei.  (This is a ___________.)

Students practised with their partners saying the sentence structures in Maori.

Afterwards, the students used the ipads to show what they have learned.

Here are some examples of what they did.

Can you say these words?

Spectacular Spelling!!!

At school we were doing spelling as part of our curriculum. We needed to make sentences out of our spelling words. It was quite challenging.

My trip to the Bay of Islands

In the holidays me, my grandpa, grandma, my friend and his grandma went on a trip to the Bay of Islands for 3 days.

First when we arrived it was very wet so we found a hotel to stay in for 2 days. When we found our room we first unpacked our things.

After the rain cleared it was lunchtime and we didn't have any food so we all got in the car and headed to the nearest food court. My friend wanted to eat McDonald's so we did.

While we waited for the food my grandpa got out his iPAD and let me play EXPLORATION on it until the food arrived. Just in case you don't know what EXPLORATION is, it's like a game and everything is made out of blocks and you can build anything. There are 3 modes: Flat mode, Earth mode and flying blocks mode.

Lek`s Amazing holiday

In the holiday I went to the Coromandel for 3 days.

First we got everything ready, then me and my dad got the jetski then every one got in the car.

Next we drove to Coromandel. It took two hours then when we got there we put every thing in place then my grandparents and my uncle arrived.

We had dinner on the BBQ every day!!! We and my family went to the the beach every day too!! Me and my uncle played monopoly too.

Finally we went on the jetski but... it got stuck. My dad quickly got it back on the trailer. After that we went home. It was the best holiday ever!

White out

In the  holiday we went to Mt Ruapehu. We went with my dad's girl friend's family. We did sking the first couple of days and that went well, but on the last 3 days there was a white out.

So our first idea was to make slushy's and to have a snow ball fight, that did not go to well because the snow would not stick so we ate it instead. It was almost powder then we got the idea of tobogganing.

Weeeeeeee, crash, that is the noise of us tobogganing. We did not go very fast though so we went rolling down the hill.

We went back in a terrible blizzard and then that turned in to a white out. What is a white out you ask? It is after a blizzard you can not see anything only white. It is terribly cold and windy. I did find it a bit worrying and scary. The worst part was it lasted for 6 hours and sitting inside the whole time and doing chores. Then on Sunday we went home.

My trip to Fiji

Have you been to Fiji? Well after this post, you will want to go.  My family went to  Plantation Island for three days.

My favourite day at Plantation was when we went on a boat to Bounty Island and went diving on the reef. My favourite fish was the parrot fish.  It was bright pink and dark green and blue. Then we went to the floating trampoline and then we went back on the boat.  After the days on Plantation we went to the mainland then we went to First Landing. We stayed here for the rest of  the week then we went to the airport and went back to NZ.

Awesome Art!

In Art this week we have been doing Printmaking. First we needed to cut out shapes. Then we had to glue down the shapes onto a piece of paper in a pattern. It was quite fun to experiment with all the ways you can put the shapes into patterns.

My Holiday

My Holiday

 

At the start of the holidays I went to a few different clubs. E.g. Art Classes, Sport Clubs, and School Holiday Programs.

 

In the Middle Weekend I went to Pauanui with my grandparents. We went on a long bush-walk through huge, giant rivers.

 

In the 2nd week we went to more Art Classes. Some days we went to look at houses and the rest we stayed at home.

Money Week

This week it was Money Week. Room 19 needed to learn about all the coins and notes. Here are the New Zealand coins and notes:

 

10c, 20c, 50c, $1, $2, $5, $10, $50, $100.

 

We learned why we value money. Here is a question for you:

 

Would it be worth carrying around money if you can't buy anything with it?

Welcome back to Term 4

Kia Ora, Talofa, Namaste, Ni Hao, Malo-e-lelei Everyone!

Hope you all had a great holiday!  We are now back to our final term of the year.

This week has been a busy one for our school.  Earlier this week we welcomed our visitors from Serpell Primary who are from Melbourne, Australia.

On Wednesday the Kapa Haka group and Dilworth Boys School performed some maori songs to the Serpell Primary students. The Serpell Primary boys learnt the Haka and I think they really enjoyed it.

Serpell have been welcomed to school by our Kapa Haka Group

Serpell performs for the school

This week was Diwali. Diwali is all about the festival of lights. We were really lucky to have a dance group from India to come to Meadowbank School to show us a few dance moves. One person from each class got to go and try some moves and lucky Mojdeh got to try some. They had a Diwali festival in Aotea square. The Diwali festival had lots of food stalls, activities, rides, dances and art.

Jacob`s holiday

In the holiday I went to the movies and I watched house of magic.  I thought it was amazing and my favourite part was when the little mouse said he's cuter than the old rabbit. I thought it was funny.  I think you will like it. I watched it with my cousins  and my grandad. My cousins names are Ashlee and Catelyn.

Amazing Holidays

Wow! I bet none of your holidays were as nice as mine.The first thing I did in the holidays was go to Whangarei for the first week of the holidays. (The trip was boring). 

But when we got there that was when the fun began. The unit we were in was unit 12. After we had been there for 2 days my dad and I went into the swimming pool and the spa.The rest of the week we had fancy meals and having fun. My sister and I had snacks and watched Percy Jackson and the sea of monsters and we played monopoly.

The next week we went to Auckland again just in time for the power cut which was sad for us. But after the power cut  I got 10,9 and 8th place in the world in a game called uphill rush, I also got to level 15 in a game called Frizzle Fraz.
