Going to Rutherfod

Today we went to Rutherford Junior High for P.E and music. For our warm up in P.E we played monster ball monster. Monster ball is when you have a huge ball in the middle and four teams. The aim is to try and get the huge ball to cross the other teams line and into their territory by throwing dodge balls at it. In music we focused on drums. For the first bit of music we talked about music notes then Mr Berryman showed us all of the different types of drums. After looking at the drums we were shown a video clip of a guy playing this really weird cajon drum then we were allowed to play on the instruments. It was t-riffic.

Rutherfod Junior High

Today we went to Rutherford junior high at Rutherford we did some p.e and also some music.  For p.e we played a game called German Warfare and also  played  badminton, for badminton we focused on just serving it to our partner. To play German Warfare you have to have a soft ball  and two taggers and the aim is to get all of the rest of the people out. Our focus for music was to start to play a song as a group, in my group was Cole, Keylen, Me and Tepairangi I played the drums our song sounded fantasic.

Making 3d bugs

A couple of weeks ago room 15 made some 3d reading bugs. We could either choose a caterpillar, a spider, a lady bug and an ant first we had to choose which bug we wanted. Then we had to go over it with the colour we wanted it to be  then we had to let it dry after we had done that we had to make sure that  you couldn't see any bits of the egg carton, if there were none then we could start putting patterns on them. Also after we had done patterns on them we could get some pipe cleaners and start to make legs and antennas . After we had gotten them the way we wanted them we had to glue the legs on with a hot glue gun and Mrs Larsen stabbed holes in for the antennas and also glued crazy eyes  for its eyes.

Week 3 Reflection

WHAT: This week Mrs Larsen showed us some Picasso drawings two of them were drawn by kids and they looked fantastic then we drew some Picasso pictures ourselves, first we drew a couple and then were allowed to do a good copy of it. We also  had to finish all of our book covers,post cards and toilet roll people and all of our unfinished work the people that had finished all of thier work were allowed to play cup stacking with the cups and timer that Mrs Larsen had brought for the class. Also this week we went to our buddy class which is Room 12 there we showed our buddies how to draw some Picasso faces. We also had a visit from our other buddy class and taught them how to make a post on there blog, post comments and how to make a wordle.

SO WHAT: This week I learnt how to kind of draw Picasso faces. I also learnt that if you can't understand what your buddy is writing ask them what they're writing. Also I learnt how to properly do some different stratagies in maths.


NOW WHAT: Next week I hope to get my work finished on time and not have to stay in. I also hope that it doesn't rain.

Week 2 Reflection

What: This week we made some 3d reading bugs, first we had to choose which bug we wanted, then we had to paint and let them dry. After that we were allowed to stick legs on, the legs were made out pipe cleaners we could either make a caterpillar,an ant, a spider or a lady bug they look fantastic. We also started drafting our post cards to some of the other countries around the world.  We also started on a new book cover for our favourite book.  First we had to draft what we wanted it to look like, it  wasn't allowed to copy the origional book cover, we had to make it different. Another thing we did was choose a character out of our favorite book and create him out of a toilet roll. We also went to Rutherford Junior High School , at Ruderthod we played p.e and also went into the music and played on the keyboards and the guitars.


So What: This week I was reminded about making a book cover and what we needed to have on them. I also learnt more about playing the guitar and keyboard. We also learnt a new game called monster ball, monster ball is when you have a giant ball in the middle and have four teams around it and the goal is to try get the ball to the your opponents line.

Now What: Next week  I hope to be able to play the teachers organised game I also hope to find out who I'm writing to. I hope it's Italy.
