We LOVE reading!

At home I read lots of old fashioned books that I get from the library.  I normally get about three to six books each time.

Every night I go to my bookshelf and take a book that I haven't read.  Sometimes I read it to my brother but most of all I like reading it in my head.

In my spare time I read some Goosebumps books or some other books by R.L Stine.  At school I like reading chapter books too because they're going to last you for a long time and I think chapter books are interesting.

When I've done my homework I usually sit and read books for hours on my bed.  Sometimes I think books can take me on an adventure!

In the holidays I read animal facts about the first animals that lived in the world and dinosaurs.  I enjoyed it because I like dinosaurs and I think if I read dinosaur books I can go to the dinosaur world that I've imagined.

I've been practising Maori by myself at home and I was also teaching my parents how to say yes and no.  I have been practising how to pronounce words.

I like Maths because there is always a challenge.  I like challenges because it gives you time to think about it.

Tony Playing the Cello at our Middle Syndicate Assembly

At our Middle Syndicate assembly on 11 September Tony played the cello in front of six classes of children!  Well done Tony.  Thanks for sharing your talent!

I like Maths because you learn new stuff and it gets more complicated so it's sort of a challenge for me.  There's activities that are more challenging with each one I do.  Some activities are hard for me but I like them because they help me learn more and help my brain think better.

We went to the museum.  We went in the Maori house.  We saw a Maori canoe.  I liked the designs and the shape.  We went into a place where there was an elephant and there was a little tree house with a monkey in it which was big.  We saw some dresses which were old dresses for queens.  One dress was white with sparkling things on it.  There was another dress that was brown with a white belt.

When I went to Mind Lab with the Science Discovery group I learned that you could make electricity with a chemical reaction.  The copper wire was the positive and the nail was the negative.  We put water and table salt into a little cup and put the copper wire and nail into it.  Then we measured the electricity and it was 0.75 volts.  We made four power cells and it measured 3 volts.  We powered an LED light with the power cells.

I have learned a lot about the Middle Ages during our Inquiry unit.  The people in the Middle Ages sold food to get money.  The peasants mostly ate barley.  I've enjoyed how many facts I've found.   I've learned to use different websites.
