Christmas Acrostic Poem

Christmas
Christmas presents
Happy times
Ringing bells
I want a mini pig
Singing Christmas carols
Travelling to see relatives
Making Christmas cards
Around the Christmas tree goes my cat
Star on top of the tree

Haiku Poems

Ice
Freezing cold water
So cold hypothermia
You can die of it                                           In class we have been writing haiku poems. Haiku poems                                                                        have different amounts of syllables in each line. The first                                                                          line and last line has 5 syllables and the middle line has                                                                          7.

Our first week we practised how to hold a hockey stick, juggling and different types of dribbling. Last week we practised our grip which is how to hold a hold a hockey stick, our juggling and dragging.

In our class we did posters about a ocean. We got to chose from Pacific Ocean, Southern Ocean, Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and Arctic Ocean. I chose the Pacific Ocean, it stretches from the Arctic Ocean to the Southern Ocean. The ocean's western border touches Asia and Australia while its eastern border touches North and South America.

Science Experiment

Today we did a science experiment about ice, salt and dye. Each table got a bowl and three round ice balls. Miss Drummond pored red dye over the ice balls, when she pored the dye we had to write down what we noticed and if we had any questions. Next she pored  green dye and again we had to record what we noticed and if we have any questions. The last thing we did was put salt on it, when we did that it gave it a very rough texture. After we did all of that we went outside and each table got to throw one of the ice balls. We found out that big ice ball + a lot of salt = big smash.

Egg Sitting

In my class we did egg sitting. Basically we got an egg and had to look after it for the week. You had to give the egg warmth, oxygen and you could not leave it alone, you could either leave it with a trust worthy babysitter or bring it with you to where ever you are going. Some people broke theirs on the first day but I didn't, my egg survived the week. My egg's home had some posters, a fridge and a bed mad, out of socks, tissues and handkerchiefs.

R.E Slide About Lydia

In my class we are learning about the early people of the church and that's why Alana and I did this slide. The slide is about Lydia of the purple dye trade. I learned a lot of things from this slide, one of them was that Lydia was the first person baptised by Paul.

Water Filter Experiment

Today we did a water filter experiment. Alana and I were partners. First we got our containers. One had a hole and the other didn't. Next we had a choice of bark, sand, cotton balls and paper towels to use as our filters. We had to test the filters individually so we can see which are the best to use for our competition filter. Alana and I chose paper towels and cotton balls, it worked okay because it got all the dirt out but it still was a bit discoloured.

Cross Country

In our school we did cross country. For my race we had to run up Telford Ave and down it again, through the gate down the path around the turf, behind the class rooms and in front of other class rooms, through the other gate, through up top and do it all again. I was coming first but in the end I came 8th. I liked it, it was fun.

Assembly

Last week my class room 5 had our assembly. We based our assembly performances on ANZAC Day. I started the assembly by welcoming everyone and a prayer. Other people said other things like, "Can we please have the merit awards," and then we had our play. It was based on the book My Granddad Marches On ANZAC Day. I was a marcher with my best friend Alana. I wore a scarf and Alana wore a suit. Once we had finished other people said other things again and then we did our dance. We were dancing to We Will Remember Them by Modern Maori Quartet. It was fun.

Tetrahedron

On the 8th of May 2019 we made Tetrahedrons for R.E. The tetrahedron had to have the gifts of the holy spirit on it. I put hope, love and faith. I chose light blue as my colour for my tetrahedron and the colours I choose for my words were white, yellow and blue. Love was blue, faith was yellow and Hope was white.

Country Poster

For reading we studied different countries. I studied Switzerland, that's where my cousins live. I learnt that Switzerland is an amazing place. Switzerland has adorable foxes and wolves, their Heidi dresses are beautiful and there are beautiful places to visit like Matterhorn in Zermatt.

ANZAC Pamphlet

A couple of weeks ago my class and I made pamphlets. We each did it in groups of 2 and we had a choice of like letters, pictures, clothing, badges and other things from World War 1. My best friend Alana and I chose a love letter. We searched it up and found out it belonged to Samuel Atkinson. Something I learned was that he got killed helping a friend.

ANZAC Day Art

In our class we did ANZAC Day art. We had a chose of poppies, hats, ANZAC coins, crosses and a wreath full of poppies. Most people chose a wreath but I chose a ANZAC coin. We also got to dye our background. For my background colours I chose red, orange and yellow.

Bar Graph

This is a Bar Graph that I did with my friend Emma.
It is about your favourite shops.
We chose Typo, K-mart, Rebel Sports and Lovisa.

K-mart got 4.
Rebel Sports got 5.
Typo got 9.
Lovisa got 1.

Shrove Tuesday

On the 5 of March 2019 it was Shrove Tuesday. Shrove Tuesday is also called Pancake Tuesday.
At the beginning of the day we went to the turf and we burnt palms for tomorrow, Ash Wednesday.
At the end of the day we made pancakes and ate them. We used:

• butter
• flour
• milk 

They were delicious.

Swimming sports

On Wednesday the 20th of February we had our Good Shepherd School swimming sports.
I entered the non competitive which means I got to do water walk which is where you walk through the water but it was more like kicking because most people had to use a kick board because it was too deep for them. The second one we did was dolphin dive or dolphin kicks. I did dolphin kicks which is when you do a dolphin dive and then when you're under the water you move like a mermaid and then come up for a breath in the same way you would come up in breaststroke. The last one we did was freestyle. Freestyle is when you put your head in the water and then you move your arm though the water and then bring it back. While your arm is in the air you turn your head and take a breath. I came first in all of them. Next year I will be doing competitive.

Animal Poster

 The last two weeks we have been creating animal posters.
The animal that I chose was a leopard.
Did you know that a leopard can leap 6 metres forward through the air? That's the length of 3 adults lying head to toe!
It was really fun.
The things that we had to list down were habitat, diet, looks, babies and whether they were endangered or not.

Poem

In our class we did poems for a school in New Zealand.

We had 12 items that we could write about. They were a pink teddy bear, a ship in a bottle, a dinosaur, a coin, a person, a key, a spider, a puzzle piece, a stone, a gem, a pawn and a compass.
I chose the pink teddy bear. My poem was a bunch of describing words about the teddy bear.

This is my poem.

Bed Day
Pink, fluffy,
Small, tiny, little, cute,
Fuzzy, stillness, unmoving, motionless, rose,
Happy, joyful, miniature, loyal,
Adorable, soft, delicate.
Bear

The first week of school

The first week of school was when the year sixes were on camp so the year fives had to go to room six because the room five teacher had gone to camp. When I got to school I unpacked my stationary that I had brought from home. On my table were my friends Meredith and Ruby and there were also two boys named Aidan and Matthew. We started with prayers. Our prayer leaders were my friends Jiwoo and Ruby. More into the day we did a lot of get to know you games and activities. We started doing art which was our koru art. I chose the colours purple and yellow. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were all the same and we continued to play games, activities and our Koru art. Friday was so much fun, at fitness we had a race. For the boys Dean came first. For the girls I came first and against the whole class Dean came first and I came second. At the end of the day we had a game called Octopus.

My mantra
