Using coins and notes (Money)

Reflection:It was easy to figure out the amounts and the right notes and coins.  

Meaning of words

Reflection:It was easy to identify the words but needed a tiny bit of help.  I knew a lot of the words but then the ones i didn't I could read the meanings and guess.

Wearable Arts

This year we created headbands, pois and a class piuiu (Maori skirt) for our Wearable Arts.  We combined Maori and Pacific cultures to send a message about "How Far Will You Go.... to save the oceans from plastic."  We used a Maori Version of the song from Moana

Describing a Setting/Character

This term I have been learning to describe a setting/character:
Success Criteria:

use describing words
use language features e.g. similes and alliteration,
use my senses (see, hear, feel,)
hook the reader into feeling what the setting/character was like


The sun is as bright as a chandelier and the grass as green as emeralds.  The waterfall splashes down a small hill that looks like a stone staircase.  The trees are waving in the wind like a bunch of people saying 'hi.'  The snowy moutnains are as big as giants and the clouds as puffy as cotton-tail bunnies.


The wolf was not the meanest wolf of all but he had a clever brain.  He sneaks as quiet as a ninja.  His teeth and claws are as sharp as spikes and his eyes are as red as lava.  Waiting in the forest for his dessert!  He's as fast as humming birds and not a normal kind of wolf and tricks people to their death.  Who dares to follow him?

Reflection:  I wrote about 5 similes.  I used some good describing words like snowy, bright.

It was hard for me to think about what I was writing about.  Zion 14.08.18

Making Music

In Term 2 and 3, we have been learning to make music using Boomwhackers.  It was so much fun.

Reading For Information

This term I have been learning to read for information, to summarise some main ideas and to use 'Poster My Wall' to present my facts.



Reflection: It was hard to find the answers to some of my questions.  Next time I might make my questions a little easer so I could find information. Zion 27.08.18

Adding 3 Digit Numbers

Reflection:  It was easy to work out the adding by doing it in hundreds, tens and ones.  I managed to make thousands, hundreds, tens and ones.
