Vaulting

Hi and welcome back
For the Olympics I was watching the vaulting, with the man who broke his leg doing a vault. It was soooooo disgusting. his leg broke on a side. That would be so painful!the thing that was exciting about it was that he did such a great vault and then it went so wrong! 

All the other vaulters were fabulous as well. This sport is very new to me I hardly ever watch it and it is was all very new to me. 

The vaulters that did get on the podiam was 
Russia, China and Japan. 
Good job to them!

book groups

Our Fabulous Book!

Hello and welcome back.

I hope you had a great term break. This term we are doing book groups. I am in a group with Catherine, Rosie, Marguerite and me! we are reading a book called 'Running out of time' written by Margaret Haddix. We are going really well and we are saying really good questions and really descriptive answers. We are the best group!

The book is about a young girl in the village of Clifton witch is a historical reserve. A virus (diphtheria)is breaking out and strange glass boxes hanging in trees... it couldn't become even more weird. Jessie is determined to find out the secret her mother is willing to tell her.

read it, it is a marvel of a book.

See you next week!

medevail week

Medieval week was one of the most fun weeks of school. We read about tons of information about the plague, the peasants and heaps more. I think that my week went really well. I found making the castle really fun and doing the 2 page spread. I think that nothing could be done to make the week even better, because it was so fun there were no mistakes. i enjoyed the lesson on castle because we had to draw a diagram of a castle and i really enjoy drawing so that was SUPER fun.
Have a fantastic week,
Lottie

kapa haka

This term the intermediate syndicate is doing Kapa Haka on Wednesday afternoon. We are learning different songs and their actions. I am finding it very fun. At my old school we did Kapa Haka every Friday afternoon. we had a Maori teacher and so it was a little different. but I feel that I am giving it my all and I am really enjoying it. I am finding difficult the small shaking of the hands. I can do one hand but not he other. I will keep on giving my all and having lots of fun.
see you next week.

minecraft

This is not quite like our village yet... but we will get there!

Minecraft!

Minecraft is very new to me. This is my first time doing it ever and so it is quite exciting to learn what everyone was crazy about not long ago. In our classes we are building medieval villages and 2 of my friends and I are making some of the cottages. It is hard to figure out the rules and how to open doors and not bust into them! I think that we are going quite well with our village staying medieval. We have nearly finihed making the church and the castle. those are for the more advanced minecraft builders. I think I should just stick to the houses.  
It has been and still will stay a great experiance.
See you next week!
