Country Study

This week we each studied a country.  My country was Japan.  We wrote some of their holidays, traditional clothes, popular sports, popular food and more.  This is what mine looks like

Anzac Brochure

Last week we made Anzac brochures for Anzac day.  We all chose a buddy and got an object about a soldier story.  My brochure is about Thomas Harry Kinder. Here is my brochure.

Anzac Day Art

For Anzac day we made Anzac art.  We dyed a piece of paper then coloured in our choice of colouring.  Once we were finished both, we stuck the colouring onto the piece of dyed paper.  This is an example of what we did.

New Zealand Opera

Last week on Thursday the New Zealand opera came to perform and our school.  In opera they only sing and don't talk at all.  The story is about a girl and her stepmum.  There is also a boy and a barber.  The boy wants the girl so the barber helps him but the stepmother does not want the boy to be her daughter's husband so she tries to stop her.  Will the stepmother get her way or not?  I really liked opera this year, it was great!

Growth Mindset

In growth mindset we made a big paper brain.  We each coloured in a square of the brain and answered a question on it about growth mindset.  The question was, I will work longer when I am trying to figure something out. I will not give up quickly.  what are some strategies or things I might do to help me reach my goal?  Here is a photo of the brain.

My Animal Poster

In reading we have made animal posters.  We each chose an animal and studied it to make a poster.  My animal was a reindeer.  Here is a photo of my poster.

My Goals

Last week we made goals for maths, writing and reading.  We put them on our goal wall and every time we complete a goal we take it down and make another one.  My reading goal is to understand the main purpose of the text. My writing goal is to use words in sentences in creative ways and my maths goal is to learn my 12 times tables.
