Book Week!

This week was Book Week! One of the best weeks
 of the school year! Today is the last day of book
 week!  There were so many activities to do!  I even 
won a book cover competition.  You had to design a
 NEW book cover for one of your favourite books.  
I made a Ruby Redfort book cover.  Ruby Redfort
 was written by Lauren Child.  My prize for winning 
was $10.00 to spend at our book fair.  The book fair 
is when they get loads of NEW books and people 
can buy them.  I really enjoyed Book Week!

Maths Co-ordinates

In Room 5 for maths we have been learning
 about co-ordinates.  We all got the exact same 
sheet for the co-ordinates. It was a bit difficult
 at first but as I went on it became easier and
 easier!  It was very fun and the picture on our
 sheet was a a panda doing the floss!  When we 
finished our first co-ordinate sheet we got a
 new one that had decimals. I'm still working
 on my decimal one know!  The decimal one
 I got is a dabbing pug. 

My Book Review

In Room 5 for Book Week we had to write a book review.  I wrote a review on the Ruby Redfort series.  The author is the well-known Lauren Child.  Here is what my book review ended up like:

This is what Ruby Redfort was about.  Ruby Redfort was a 13 year old girl who got recruited as a code cracker for a secret agency called Spectrum.  Ruby has to solve a lot of codes and mysteries that end up putting her into great danger every time.  I highly recommend this book.  

Water filter experiments

In Room 5 we have been learning about water safety.

 We had to do an experiment with one other person 

and try to create a water filter out of any 4 materials.

 These were our options: Cotton balls, Sand, Paper

 towels, and Bark. Me and Kayano used Cotton balls 

and paper towels. What you had to do was have two 

containers one with a hole on the bottom and one

 with no holes. You had to place the one with the

 hole on top of the other one. Then you had to put in

 your chosen materials and then pour water on the 

materials. The water had Cooking oil,Paper, and

 Compost in side. Me and Kayano's filter worked

 OK. All the bits didn't go through but our end

 result was a bit yellow. I really enjoyed doing

this experiment.

Cross Country

Today was Cross Country.  We have been training
 hard for a few weeks. The track we ran was long
 but we had to do it twice!  It was exhausting.  I
 came 8th out of 11 people.  Lucy came 1st,
 Jemima came 2nd, Soeun came 3rd, and Hannah 
came 4th.  Here are some photos of Cross Country. 

Samoan language week

This week was Samoa week.  We did lots of fun and
 cool activities.  One of the activities was about a 
myth. You had to read it and then do activities on it. 
There was also a worksheet titled 'All about Samoa'. 
 You had to fill it out and then decorate it.  This is 
what mine looks like.
