Story Bird

Yesterday we got to use Storybird or Storyjumper to make a book from our writing. I chose Storybird because I think it is easier to use. Next I had to choose what writing to add into the story. I chose my Snorkeling writing. We had to put together pictures and the writing to make a book. I hope you like my book!

Disco

Last night Paihia School had a disco. The junior disco was from 5.30 to 6.30 and then after theirs the seniors had theirs from 6.45 to 7.45. It was a two dollar entry fee. We had lots of things to buy. Drinks and lolly bags were $1 each and glow sticks and toys were $2-3 dollars and the american hot dogs were $3 dollars each. We had awesome music because four people in my class got to chose it. I had so much fun last night I hope to do it again.

Kids Cans fundraiser

Today we have a ‘Kids Can’ fundraiser. We get to dress up as anything we want but we had to bring a gold coin donation for ‘Kids Can’. Today I dressed up as a Hurricanes player and my sister as a cheerleader. I like dressing up because we can be anything we want. ‘Kids Can’ helps us and gives us things we need so we  need to fundraise for them to show our appreciation.

Healthy eating

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about healthy eating with Whaea Gina. We had these traffic lights to explain if these drinks are good. Green meant we should have it  everyday, orange meant once a week and red meant once a month or never. First we laid down the colour cards and then we got to go up and get given a drink and we had to choose where it would go. Things in the green were water and milk because they are good for us. Things in the orange are juice, chocolate milk and also powerade because juice has sugar in it and so does chocolate milk, powerade can be good for you if your sick so that is why is is in orange. Things in red is energy drinks and fizzy's because they all have way too much sugar. Whaea Gina said we should only have 5 teaspoons of sugar a day. Now that I know this I will try to make healthy choices with my drinks.

Technolgy

In Te Ngahere we have started to do technology. We are going to make something out of wood pallets. We got into groups of 3 or 4. Then we started to write down ideas of what we can make for our classroom, like shoe racks and some shelves. I really like technology because we get to express our ideas and build.

Bay bush action

In Te Ngahere this term we have been learning about Te Ngahere the bush. Last friday we had some
visitors come from Bay Bush Action to talk to us about how we can help our birds and animals. There
names were Brad and Stella. They came with two stuffed possums and also they came with a kiwi stoat
and hedgehog They came with some traps they showed us how to set the traps and how they
go off. Then they brought some rat traps for us to set around the outside of our school because they
wanted us to be the first rat free school in New Zealand. I enjoyed looking at the traps go off.

Silver eye

In Te Ngahere  we have been learning about tree, birds, Insects and animals in the
Ngahere so we had to make a presentation about a bird first. I did silvereye bird with Tia and
Isaiah M. I enjoyed doing this presentation because it was fun to learn about this bird to show
some learning we made a song. What I think I did well was putting in the important information
not just information that is boring and words I can not understand. I hope this presentation
helps you to know all about slivereye the bird
