Week 3 - Term 2

On Monday we started our report writing, I'm doing mine on Hectors Dolphin. After interval we did Volleyball in the ALC,  we learnt how to serve and pass properly. We also did some reading. I have almost finished my report on Mrs Flowers, the story I have been reading. After lunch we did a fractions test so Mrs Crowe could see what group to put us in. On Tuesday we had our first Science lesson at Tech Arts, we learnt about Predict, Observe, Explain and What if and we had to do one on a UFO ball. We didn't have French or Jump Jam  on Wednesday because many of our class are on band camp and they are using the Hall, ALC, Dance and Drama studio and Music room and of course Mrs Shaw was helping. We did get to go to the wood room to finish our trucks, I finished mine and am happy with final product. On Thursday I only had art, so I went for two session and finished quite a lot of my painting. I only need to finish doing the island and then the water and sand. On Friday we had science. We had to tie our hair back and wear covered shoes because we were using fire in a experiment. Were actually emptied the tea out of a Tea bag, unfolded it, stood it up and lit it on fire. It turns out when it's almost burned down it flies up into the air. We POEWed it in groups of four and Emily, Bobby, Jess and me tried lighting it's on it's side, from the bottom, lighting it when it's opened out and when it's folded over. We figured that you need to light it from the top for it to be effective. After lunch I went to a Jump Jam competition group meeting, we were learning a new song for competitions. It is up town funk. At Maori we got into groups and wrote a story about the Waikato river. It had to included three place names, three river uses, two Maori vocab words and five pictures. Emily, Bobby, Jess and me wrote about a trout named Trotty, a eel named Elizabeth and a flounder named Floggle.
