Graduation Mass

 We had our graduation for the year 6's yesterday. The Mass started at 5.30 pm and ended at 7.00 pm. It started with some songs then we heard a speech. Next up was the part where the current year 6's hand over candles to the current year 5's. I felt so excited to be able to go up on to the alter receiving my leadership candle. I can't believe that next year I will be graduating!!  

Maori

Here are a few words and phrases we learnt in Maori. They are words for food and a few other things that are food related. We have learnt the correct way to pronounce them and all about the long and short vowel sounds. Overall this year I have loved learning about different and new words and phrases.   

Jesse Tree

In Religious Education we have been learning about the Jesse tree as now it is Advent. The Jesse tree is a tree that we hang ornaments on. Each ornament symbolizes one story in the Bible. This is a page on the symbols on the tree matched  up with the story its from. I hope you like my page. 

Algebra

In maths we have been learning about Algebra. We got booklets that started off with simple questions then progressed to very hard questions. I started off with a bit of experience but that didn't stop me from being challenged. Overall I learnt a lot about Algebra!

Spud Guns

In class we have been trying to make spud guns . Both times we did this it did not work but we had fun trying. First we tried normal plastic, bendy straws which bent as soon as we stuck them into the potatoes they bent. Today we tried making them again but with two kinds of firmer straws.  They went in a lot easier but when we went to shoot them they just flopped out. This was fun although it didn't work!!

If I won the lotto

If I won the Lotto…

Oh my! Winning the lotto is one of everyone's dreams and I would love be in the position of one of the lucky people who take home the big bucks. Here are the things I would do…




First I would call all the people I know to tell them the news and that they should come over tomorrow for an EPIC party!! But I can’t possibly invest ALL my money on the world's most AWESOME party so I will give a chunk of money to charity so I can feel like my spend is not going to be a waste, although this party will be memorable forever!




To start I will hire a catering service, the finest of fine. Then I would go out and buy the highest quality drinks to serve. Next stop would be a store to buy gold and diamonds to use as decorations to signify that I was rich. I would get gold plates implemented by diamond silverware and shiny rose gold napkins. I would buy the finest quality park bags and the most expensive entertainment. Then it would be party time!!




You can choose between talking, listening to comedy, dancing, singing, eating, watching a circus show or even watching a concert. But once the clock strikes 6pm we all enjoy the finest dinner and at 7pm a buffet of desert will surround us. Then we can have fun together until dawn.




When the guests have had enough (that could be never!) they can treat themselves to a party bag fit for royalty. Unfortunately I would now be on cleaning up but I managed to hire a cleaning service who made my house and garden cleaner than before!!

3D shapes

Lately in maths we have been learning about 3D shapes. I made a cube and 2 Pyramids. We learnt about faces , edges and vertices. It was nice to learn about 3D shapes instead of re-learning what we already know about 2D shapes. I loved making shapes.
