Sharing can solve a problem

When you watch this video, you might like to think about how you feel about the fact that not everyone has the same things in life.

Writer of the Week - Week 2

We read the story 'I Will Not Never Ever eat a Tomato' by Lauren Child and then we wrote stories about things we don't like to eat.

One night my mum called me to the table for dinner.  My eyes burst into blue flames because I saw pumpkin on my plate.  I tried to say it in my head but it was to yukky.  I put it in my mouth but it was too soft and it squiggled down my throat.  Then my mum said, 
"You can't have the ice cream until you eat some pumpkin."
When she looked away I put it in the bin, then she brought some bowls over and she said,
"Here is some ice cream."
Then I said, "I will never eat pumpkin again." 

Maths Reflection Art

First we drew a picture of our alien in our sketching book and then copied it on to paper.  We had to make sure that our pictures were the same on both sides; that they had reflection.

Next, we went over the pencil outline in 

black vivid.

We then coloured our pictures using pastels.

You can see our finished pictures in our individual learning blogs.

Math slide app

   

We played math slide.  I like to play math games because they are fun  It is hard to beat people because other people are really smart.  It is hard because people put their fingers all over the screen.   Turei, Brooklyn W and I were having fun. Turei won 1 and Brooklyn W won 5 times.

Dear Greenpeace

You will not believe what I found in my backyard.  I found a deer.  I love it when birds land on his antlers and when he pushes the swing and every once in a while he will do a trick.  I will call him Singer because when he walks he makes a rhythm.  I was really happy when he put water in his mouth and squirted water up and the water fell on me. 

One month later, I saw him snuggling with the dog and it was really cute.  The other days I was without him and he was gone forever.

Can you send me some information on deer?

Dear Greenpeace

Today I found a brown bear sleeping in my bed.  The brown bear has brown fur and sharp teeth.  It also has sharp paws.  His name is Growly because he growls a lot.  I secretly went to the kitchen and got some sausages to share with the bear. 

After that we played hide and seek.  When Growly hid he made lots of noise so I could find him easily.

Greenpeace, I would like to know where the brown bear lives.
