I know you might have lost your parents or kids but you haven't lost yourself. My dad knows what it feels like because his dad died when he was like Twelve. Don't be sad your parents or kids are in your heart and they are happy that your safe. So hold your head high and be strong. So don't be sad. Use your life wisely don't be afraid the storm is over and you can cry all you want. I'm so so sorry that the storm was so bad. Remember that your kids or parents are in your soul and trying to keep you happy and so am I.
(From Rico Vardon school NZ)

Fizz up volcano

I like science and guess what!We are doing science.We are going to make an volcano explode when you add mentos to volcano.
The CO2(carbon dioxide) is in the middle of the fizzy drink.The H20(water) sits around the CO2(carbon dioxide) and it's making a bubble.The quicker the mentos goes down the bigger the explosion. Anyway the mint comes in and takes the H20(water) away.Then the CO2 (carbon dioxide) can get bigger and bigger caboom!The volcano exploded!
Now you know why it explodes.Try making your own volcano at home.

What is Culture

Mrs Head asked us 'what is culture?' We could show her any way we wanted. I choose to do a glogster.

Evidence of achieving my reading goals

My reading goals were to ask and answer questions about the story I read.

This shows that I am asking different types of questions after listening to a story.

To share my ideas more about the story with my group.

My name is in the modelling book lots for answering questions.

My last reading goal is to read faster like I talk.
I am getting better sometimes I can read fast and other times the words are trickier. This is still a goal for me to get more confident at reading stories I haven't seen before.

Evidence of achieving my writing goals

My writing goals are to use full stops and capital letters and to start using question marks, exclamation marks and speech marks.

This shows that I am using exclamation marks and remembering to use my full stops and captial letters. I need to try and work on using questions marks and speech marks more in my writing.

My next goal is to add more detail and describing words to my writing.

I have used interesting words like swoops down and I like my title of Superman lazers the day.

My last writing goal is to start using similes in my writing.

This shows that I can write similies about popcorn. My goal now is to use similies more in my writing.

Evidence of achieving my maths goals

My maths goals are to explain my strategy's with others.
I do this on post it notes when the teacher asks me to and I can show my strategy or how I worked it out. But I could still work on this goal and share my ideas more with my group.

Another maths goal is to confidently use my tidy tens and doubles to add and subtract.would do if it was 9 + 8 I would do 10 + 8 = 18 - 1 = 17

My last maths goal is to learn my two, five and ten times tables and divided by. I have achieved one of my goal's by using my 5's 10's 2's.

100WC rubbish bins

As the recycling bins see the night they... come alive

 They play games but they have to find rubbish first because that’s their food. The lonely rubbish bin had no rubbish because he was too little but it was nearly his birthday so he will grow bigger. But then a boy accidently pushed the lonely little rubbish bin down the hill. Luckily there was a gate but the bad thing was… that the gate broke and so did he.  The other rubbish bins were worried because he was the youngest. People came at night to fix his bruised broken body.

Room 9's Assembly

I felt so so proud of myself because I went out their and there was a lot of people.  My favorite thing was the Kiwi Kids song because it has the Haka. Next time I'll try to remember the words and use more expression.

What am I poem

I Am Made From Trees

You can roll me up

I feel smooth

you can draw on me

I'm not in a book

I've always been in the class

you can rip me

you can curl me

you might use me to write on

you can cut me

you can scrunch me

I'm flat

and mainly white

I'm blank

I can stand up

you can't eat me

people draw pictures on me

WHAT AM I?

-By Rico

Wow visit

At the wearable arts I enjoyed seeing the Knight costume I really liked making the paper aeroplanes and I liked the sword on the  Knight. I learnt that you can't touch the costumes because you might damage it. When I make my own wearable art I will first design it and then print it off to make it.

Term 1 Reflection

I enjoyed learning to tell the time with quater past  when the big hand is on 3, and quater to when the big hand is on 9 and half past when the big hand is on 6 and oclock when the big hand is on 12. I've enjoyed having Survivour Challenge and Camp and Earth Hour.

swimming

At swimming I will need to practice doing backstroke and try and keep straight and when I can do it I might be able to go to the end of the pool and I'll be really good. I want to float on my bottom and get better for Wednesday because I want my mum to be proud of me because she's coming to the swimming demonstration. She wants to see how good I am so far she would be even prouder if I did a whole length in the pool.

My reading goal is to know heaps of long big words and break them down.
My writing goal is to make my stories longer and write a whole page.
