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. 

Drama

This year we started drama.  Every Friday we do a different drama game.  One game we have played this year was King of the Jungle. In King of the Jungle there are different animals that each person acts and sounds as.  The first animal is a lion they make a certain sound and then so on. At the end of this term we will be performing our own plays we made either about sun smart safety, growth mindset or bulling.  My group decided to chose bullying. I love drama and I hope we can continue it throughout the year.
