Crowded House

For topic I did this. It is a poster with 5 facts about a NZ band called Crowded House. I have to show it to the class to get my thirty points. I put lots of effort into this. I hope I get my 200 points for topic.

Maths Cones

In maths class we made different shapes. I chose a cone. I made it christmas themed so I can put it on my tree. There were laps that we had to figure out where they got stuck onto. This was really fun. I can't wait to hang it up on my christmas tree.

Making Cubes

In maths class we made cubes. We had to cut it out and  then glue it all together. I drew on mine before I cut it out so it had drawings on it. We could choose other shapes like cone or pyramids but I just wanted to do squares.This was a cool and creative thing to do in maths. I hope we do more difficult ones soon.

World War 1

In class we got sent souvenirs of World War I. The one I got was telegram. It was the main communication back in World War I. The first letter said he was doing splendidly. The next letter was a complete shock as it said he got bullet wounds in his thigh. The third letter said he was seriously ill and the next one was the saddest saying that he had died in action. These were what most telegrams were like. It was really fun researching about these souvenirs. I hope I get to research a different souvenir soon.

Beak Science Experiment

In class we did a science experiment. It was where we had all these different types of tweezers that were like birds beaks. We got different types of lollies that were gummy worms like when birds eat worms. Their was skittles representing harder things that they eat. Then we had pieces of paper representing leaves. We then decided which one was the easiest to pick up things with. This science experiment was really fun. I hope we do different ones soon.

Block Science Experiment

In class we did a science experiment. It was where we had three different types of blocks and we had to see which one could co higher until it fell over. This science experiment was really fun. I hope we do it again.

Retreat

Last week on Friday we had year 5 retreat. It was at Saint Francis Retreat Center. We got there at nine o'clock and the first thing we did was play a game. It was where we got partnered up with someone and then got a leaf. We had to find the tree that had the same leaf that we got given and then bring it back to make sure it is the right one. After that we had morning tea and then we went back to a room. We then did a scavenger hunt but there was a twist. We got given a piece of fabric and we had to have one hand on it at all times. The day had more and more activities so that means it was really really fun.

Comics

For Writing we are learning about comics. My teacher's husband came in to teach us about them because he does some. Mine was about a flowerpot called Fifi and a kid went to water her and it all gushed out and accidentally killed her. Learning about comics was really fun. I hope we do it again. 

Maths Pedes

In maths class we made pedes. Pede means legs. We had to figure out the patterns in different pedes to figure out the next three patterns of it. Here is mine.

A-Z Of NZ Artists

For topic we have a passport. It is a piece of paper with all these different activities and for different ones you get a certain amount of points. You have to get at least 200 points. This was one of my activities.
