Product for the Fair!

This year is the school fair! The fair is once every 2 years.

 This year we all got into groups in our class and now we 

have to make a product to sell at the fair. My group are

 making bookmarks! On each bookmark we are going to 

do a theme and colour it in. The themes are all gonna be 

different so they appeal to different genders and ages. We

 are gonna sell 2 bookmarks in a pack and tie them 

together with a ribbon. Right now we are only planning 

our product. I'm so excited for when we get to make the

 real bookmarks!

The Pacific Ocean

This week in Room 5 we have chosen an ocean to 

study. I chose the Pacific Ocean. I learnt heaps of 

new and interesting facts like, What the deepest 

point is and what sea creatures live in the Pacific 

and the size of the whole ocean!

It was also really fun creating the poster. Here is 

what mine looks like!

Pumanawa

This Term is Pumanawa.  Pumanawa is when we go to a 
different classroom to do a special option.  It is every Monday
after lunch.  I am in Cartooning. Cartooning is 
really cool because sometimes we draw realistically and sometimes we merge animals!  I cant wait for the next 
lesson.  I really enjoy it when the teacher teaches us new techniques to draw well. Here are a few things I have drawn.

Cook Island language week

This week was Cook Island language week.  It was fulled with heaps of fun activities.  Here is a picture of one of the activities we have done so far.

That activity was my favourite.  I have really enjoyed Cook Island language week.  It was filled with a bunch of super fun activities!

Religious Education

In R.E we have been learning about "Who is God?". 
We have been learning about what God is like and 
we also did an acrostic poem about him. We also 
learned about the Good Samaritan and we also did
 "The stages of centering prayer," We also did some
 things on the Assumption. I have really enjoyed
 these particular sessions in R.E. 
 This is what My title page looks like.
