Christmas Decorations

Kia ora, This week we have been asked to make decorations for christmas trees. We are going to be selling them tomorrow ( Whanau evening on Thursday 28th November). We are selling the decorations to fundraise money for the years 5&6 Ski trip 2020. At this very moment we are still making decorations to get ready for tomorrow. We are making these for people to buy, We my have used polystyrene and paper towel rolls. Our teacher Mrs B spent $120 for our decorations and some things were free from the schools. Some of us used different glues such as glue guns or glue sticks but what I think worked the most was the glue gun. What I liked about this activity was the art because art in general I love What I disliked about this activity was that the power shut off right when Saphera and I were using the glue gun. First we made a wreath and then I tried making a snowflake but that was when the power cut out so then I couldn't use the hot glue gun to make my snowflake.

Magaret Peters spelling test

Kia ora everyone Today, we sat the Margaret Peters Spelling Test. I scored 35 which gives me a spelling age of 9.8 At the beginning of the year, I scored 38 and had a spelling age of 11.0. So, My spelling age went backwards by 1.2 spelling years. I think I got this result because I was in a rushed mood and I was very tired this morning.

Hot Air Survival

Kia Ora,
Last week we were doing science. We were using yeast, sugar and a balloon to try and get off an island. Then we poured 3 teaspoon of sugar, 3 teaspoons of yeast and then we poured hot water to a certain level and then put the ballon onto the nosel of the bottle.The thing that I liked about this task was the experiment. The thing that I didn't like about this task was that you had to write a creative writing. The learning behind this activity was how to get off a deserted island when your handed these few items.
