Christmas Decoration 2019

Kia Ora

This week we have been doing some Christmas decorations for whanau night this week. I have done some snowmen to stand up near the tree maybe. They are made out of toilet rolls colored paper and googly eyes. I found it easy making my snowmen with my partner Tristan. I didn't find any thing hard. The learning behind this task was to help us save some money for next year's ski trip. Here is my work.

My Wreath

Today we got to design our own Christmas decoration. I have designed a wreath we had the choose of anything but we had to be apply to make it. we are making decoration to be sold at my school's whanau day. I found easy making my wreath. I found hard choosing my materials for my wreath. The learning behind this task was to help us fun raise for our ski trip next year. Here is my work.

Spelling Practice

This week, we have a spelling test. So our teachers said we should do some spelling practice to get  us ready for the test. We had to choose ten words from list 6 7 8. I liked to choose the 10 words off the list. I found it hard finding out the root words. The learning behind this task was to help us get better at spelling. Here is my work.

Language Exploration 2019

Kia Ora

This week, after our animal report, we did a language exploration. It is when we pick a normal verb or adjective and find 10-15 words that mean the same thing. If we found a word that we did not know we had to find the definition, syllables, vowels, smaller words that mean the same, how its said, and a sentence including this word. I found easy finding words that meant the same thing. I found hard writing the description of a word. The meaning behind this task was to explore words that we didn't know. Here is my work.

Animal Report

Kia Ora

This week, we have been doing our animal reports. I did my animal report about a komodo dragon. The slide tells you about most things about the animal. I liked researching about the komodo dragon. I found hard think how to put it in my own words. The meaning behind this task was to write about a pet we want. Here is my work.

My ambition for 2020

This year I am a year 5 at Ohaeawai Primary. I have enjoyed learning new things and using my creative mind with my work.

My favourite things that have happened this year. I have enjoyed making creative art and animations, also greats and grands.

My least  favourite thing was Math Week, I like math but I like doing it by myself sometimes.

Next year I will be a year 6 student.

My goal for 2020 is to learn more about technology and how it works also to get better at reading and writing.

To help my schools rubbish problem I say we should go outside and pickup rubbish every afternoon.

I don't want to be a young leader but I would like to be more helpful and trustworthy at my school.

M Peters Spelling Test

Kia Ora everyone

Today, we sat the Margaret Peters Spelling Test. I scored 41 which gives me a spelling age of 12.4

At the beginning of the year, I scored 38 and had a spelling age of 11.0

So, I improved my spelling age by 1.4.

I think I got this result because I have been doing my spelling and remembering my words

Hot Air Balloon Survival

Last week we did a slide about a hot air balloon survival. On the island we have yeast, sugar, and hot water from a rock pool that was heated by the sun. PS this slide isn't sufficiently correct. I didn't use a hot air balloon I used a raft to escape from the island. I liked writing the creative writing. I found hard thinking of what to write. The meaning behind this task was to do a new experiment.here is my work.
