We Can Finally Say Ahhh......

This term has been hard, and not just for us kids but for the teachers as-well, because it’s testing term and I’m sure not everyone likes testing.

One of the main reasons we have test’s at the beginning of the year and the end is so our teachers can see where we were then and now. Our first test was in week three were we did our writing and it had to be a narrative based on a picture of people walking a forest.Our next one was Ikan maths which is quick and basic maths problems.
And then about a week later we did our e-astle maths and reading and our lucky last test is our one on one gloss which you do with the teacher and you tell them how you got them and what was your strategy, and I must admit we all start to freak when we do that test.

As much as we act like we don’t want the test to happen were actually happy when there over because now we know we can just carry on with our normal school work and get ready for the end of the year. And yeah It will feel like forever but when its over you can finally say ahhh....!

Reading Plus

This term we have been introduced to a new program named Reading Plus. In readings plus you first have to take a test to set you a the level you’ll begin at. Reading plus is kind of like reading eggs except  the lessons are shorter and quicker.

In reading plus the first lesson you’ll have to do is a number or letter that you will have to find and count how many times you see it then put in the number and it will tell you if it’s right or wrong.
Then your next lesson is called flash (well thats what I call it) you have to memorise the sequence of letter or numbers and then put them back in. The next one is you’ll have to choose a book and then fill in the missing words. Lucky last you’ll have to read a short bit of the book at a certain speed then you’ll be ask to answer some questions which you have to get at least 70 percent in.

I think reading plus is a good program for kids cause it makes you improve they way you read and how fast you do it. I love reading plus and so far I’ve been doing it I’ve enjoyed it!

My Christmas Project

Have you ever wanted to make your own t-shirt or shorts? Well now you can, dip dye is the name its new its fresh and I’m sure everyone will love it.

This year for my cousins christmas present I’m making her a pair of dip dye shorts. Why? you might ask well because my cousin is very outgoing and sporty. And I wanted to give her something so she can remeber me while she’s in Australia. I have picked the colours purple and blue to use on the shorts.

Mr Barks has given us all a budget of $5.00 which  should be easy because most of the things you will need you can find at home. My friend Jasmine and I have decided to work together on our project because we are doing the same sort of thing but she is doing a top.

Please stay tuned to see how the shorts turn out. Also Down below I have put a link to Jasmine’s blog so you can see how she doing on her project. I have put a photo above of some shorts that I hope mine will turn out like.

Guy Fawkes

Guy Fawkes is one of the most beautiful times of  the year. Big bright, beautiful colours exploding in the air so bright you could see them from a mile away.

Guy Fawkes had arrived with not a cloud in the sky but little did they know this was the night when everything went wrong. The cracker caught  a lite but they didn’t realise that It was not pointing towards the sky It was pointing to the deck were everyone was sitting. the cracker went off and all you could hear was the Dad yelling “RUN.”

His little girl ran but she was not fast enough the cracker just missed her butt as the cracker vanished another went off and hit her right on the back.

She dropped to the ground her parent’s ran to her, lifted her up and quickly took her took her to the hospital. There she was seen straight away by the doctor
she was treated for second degree burns.

After she had been treated she was then sent home and all she said was we are NEVER doing fireworks again!

Halloween Narrative!!!

It all began on the 31st of October this day had always been a dark cold and cloudy, why you might ask? because it was HALLOWEEN.... On this day two friends named Lily-Anna and Lily had decided to go trick or treating, they both dressed up as witches and were ready to go. The first place they went was SPOOKERS. Of course It was only to get them freaked out. The first street they went down was called Redwood Terrace. Nobody ever went down there unless they were fearless and have courage and determination.
THEN IT ALL WENT WRONG!

They went up this one drive, out of nowhere men came from behind a place you could never imagine...
Screaming at the top of their lung, no one was heard they thought to themselves “could this be the end”! They put up a fight, Lily-anna and Lily both commanded “If we’re going down you're coming with us”.


The men chuckled and set them free, the girls thought they were serious. These men all said “It was just a serious prank, we were never really gonna hurt you. You girls were brave to stand up for each other, and for that here’s a bag of lollies each
the girls said “WOW thanks”
“Enjoy” they replied
“BYE”
“Bye girls”

And that was the end of our story said Lily to her mum.
