Christmas Lights

After we had finished our three tasks we got to pick a game to play. I picked the christmas lights one because I thought that it looked challenging. The aim of the game is to get all of the lights up all at the same time, on the side it showed how many turns you've had. I had 75. This is the picture.

History about Christmas in USA

Today we had to pick a history topic. I picked history around the world and then we had to pick a country so I picked USA. One fact about Christmas in USA are there customs are similar to UK, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Poland and Mexico. he traditional meal for Western European families is turkey or ham with cranberry sauce. Families from Eastern European origins favour turkey with trimmings.

Christmas In Te Reo

For reading we have been learning about Christmas and the Maori names to translate. This is the picture of the Maori names and the English names. The English is under Brief Description and the Maori is under Kupu.

Symmetrical picture

For maths we have been learning about geometry. For geometry we had to go onto our senior syndicate learning site and find the place where you can make pictures like this. I had chosen six lines of reflection. We were doing this because the South Hornby Choir were going to the Airport to perform. I hope you enjoy this and post some comments.

Change The Uniform

For writing we have been about persuasive writing and persuasive vocab. This is my writing about why we should not have school uniform.

Change The Uniform

Wearing a school uniform is a waste of money so we should get to pick our own clothes. If we pick our own clothes then we won’t have to go through all of the stress with finding a uniform.

Firstly, I think that we should pick our own clothes because there will be no stress with looking for a uniform, if you wear whatever you want then it will be easier to find clothes and you won’t get angry if you can’t find your uniform.m

Secondly, I think you should wear whatever you want is because it’s free to choose your own clothes and you can just pick anything out, also if you choose whatever you want then you could wear more layers to keep warm.

Lastly, I think that you should wear whatever you want is because you don’t have to waste money. If you wear whatever then no money will go down the drain, also it’s cheaper to buy normal clothes than uniform.

Overall I think that we should wear whatever we want because you don’t have to struggle looking for your uniform, you will be free to choose whatever and you won’t have to waste money.

Facts about the Sun, Earth and Moon

For Science we have been learning about how the Sun, Earth and Moon orbit in a system. I learnt that the sun spins slowly and gives light and warmth to it's planets, the earth spins around the sun taking 365 days, it also takes 24 hours to do one spin and it wobbles for seasons and the moon orbits the earth taking 27.5 days and it faces the same way.

The Protectful, Playful Pet

In writing we have been learning about Persuasive Writing.

We had to decide if Miss McLeod should get a cat or a dog for a pet.

We are learning about persuasive vocabulary and we had to highlight them in our work.

I think Miss McLeod should get a dog.

Please read my persuasive writing to find out why.

The Protectful Playful Pet

Did you know that dogs can be your private body guard?I think Miss Mcleod should get a dog because dogs can keep you safe. They can be entertaining, protectful and playful.

Firstly, I think that Miss Mcleod should get a dog because they are entertaining little fluffballs. They can be entertaining by running to you and they jump but they miss the couch. Another way that they could be entertaining is doing cool tricks. Some examples of them doing cool tricks could be them trying to jump through a hoop or open the door for you.

Secondly, I think that Miss Mcleod should buy a fluffy, goofy dog because they can be protectful like a superhero going to save the day. To be protectful they could warn you so that you can know that there is an intruder at your house. Another that they can protect you is that they could be your own tough, unbreakable, bone breaking body guard.

Lastly, I think Miss Mcleod should get a cute and fluffy dog because they can be playful. To play with them you could run around with their toy while they chase you to get it.  You can also play with them by when they are playing with their toy you could grab it and then drag it on the ground.

Overall, I think that Miss Mcleod should buy a dog because they can be entertaining, protect you and play with you.   

Go to your nearest pet and but one of these goofy, funny and protectful pets.
