Meet Irene Van Dyk

On Saturday I went to the sports park to meet Irene Van Dyk. First we lined up but me Mum and Max just walked in the gate. We got heaps of stuff. When we walked in I saw Sophia and Ruby L but Mum spotted Irene Van Dyk. OMG she is so tall. I ran over so she could sign my bib GA and GS after that Mum took a photo of me and here. After that we went for a warm up Irene did it with us. Then we went to our age groups so we could do some activities one of the activities were with Irene it was called rob the nest . The other station I enjoyed was the relaxing under the shade  and that was with the lady that coaches the Pulse. I also saw Powerman and a mascot and the captain of the Pulse. Next we had a warm down.

Later I had to sing a chant and I had to do it in the microphone. I tried to win a netball t shirt by dancing, but I unfortunately I did not get on. After it was prize giving that was when we went home.  It has been a long day for me.

Parts of the yacht

This week we have been yachting and I am going to show you the parts of the boat if you forgot.
Have a look.

This is the parts of the yacht.

Art Exhibition

For my art I choose to do a blossom tree because I am going to be in the blossom parade.
Also when we had done our art we had to do an art description. Then record it and put it as a QR Code.
This is an imovie I did.
Have a look.

I hope you guys liked it.

I also for my art plan choose to do a blossom tree because it was coming up to the blossom parade. I was learning to make blossoms and get the good material. 

The art description looks like this 

My art is called Spring Is Coming. 

The art that I have done is a Blossom Tree.

It relates to me because spring is my favourite time of year.  

I choose this art because I am going to be in the Blossom Parade and my art also has blossoms.

I used a Hot Glue Gun, String and Crepe Paper to create my art.  

I made it by Cutting string, folding it, twisting then hot gluing and then I cut the coloured crepe paper and folded it and at the bottom I twisted it then I hot Glued it on to the Paper. 

My challenge was keeping it twisted when I was Hot Gluing it on to the A3 paper. 

 I changed the colours before I started the art because I did not like the dark brown branches. I changed it to a mixture of colours. 

The special feature was the string because not every art has string.

Spring

SPRING 

Hi guys 

I would like to share with you my poem about spring.

It was for week 6 term 3 for the home learning Rimu Moriarty did. 

I hope you you enjoy. 

This is my favourite time of year, 

When the magic of spring starts to appear.

There are leaves on trees,

With BUZZING Bees.  

I see the green grass, 

We can play outside at last. 

Ducklings in the river with there mother, 

Following behind one another. 

I really do love spring,

It is the most magical thing.

Van Gogh

For my maths task we did a data sort of thing and it was for Van Gogh and the other maths group is Miro.
I am doing this because I enjoyed it.
We were learning to use the data 
Wild About Juice

You will need Statistics L3, Revised Edition, P.1 to complete this task.

Statistics: WALT interpret data

For each of the statements the students made, answer this question:

• Does the data support them? Explain why or not.

1. Yes it is true because orange has the least amount.
2. Yes Teina was almost right because 21 was sold on friday and 41 was sold on thursday.
3. Yes they sold about 30 juices a day But Monday to Wednesday is closer  to get 30 juices.
4. Yes that is true because it has more numbers.
5. NO even though wild berries has 18 some people might of bought more but didn't count it probably
6. It is maybe true but maybe it is not true we don't know.
7. Yes it is true because Monday has 28 and Tuesday has 29 and wednesday has 31 so it is the same.
8. Tropical = 27 x 2 = 54

      Orange and Mango = 57 x 2 = 114

Make up four more statements of your own based on the data:

1. Lemonade is the 3rd lowest because it is just plan and it is 10 more than Orange, Orange has 5 and raspberry is 2 so that = 15 for lemonade.
2. Juice is the 3 lowest and that = 7 and that is 2 more than Orange and that = 5
3. Strawberries is the highest because 60 people loves Strawberries if this was not the highest Orange and Mango has 57.
4. Raspberry is the least because only 2 people like it and the 2nd lowest is Orange and it has 5

How many boxes of each flavour should they buy? Explain why you decided this.

      27 x 2 = 54 = 3 boxes = 60

      18 x 2 = 36 = 2 boxes = 40

      57 x 2 = 114 = 6 boxes = 120

      16 x 2 = 32 = 2 boxes = 40

      27 x 2 = 54 = 3 boxes = 60

      5 x 2 = 10 = 1 boxes = 20

Emotive Writing

This is what room 21 has done with Mr Cooper in writing.

• EMOTIVE WRITING

The music hits my heart as I was listening to the beats, I started to get worried. I was snuggling under my blankets on my Mums bed. I felt like I went through the glass door again and reminded me about my scar. I screamed AHHHHHHHHH! I got BIG chills. I did not know what was going on. I heard the big smash as the netball whizzed through the glass door. “OHNO what was that noise?” It must of been a burglar trying to break through.

I am a good golfer. No one can ever beat my family at golf (except for FAMOUS GOLFERS). The Music reminds me of when my golf ball went into the bush and dad’s golf ball went in front of the bush. It also reminded me of the first time I play golf, that is when I did the BIG hit. After I first played a game of golf, I went shopping and got my own golf set. That is how I can play as well.

A moment in time

Hey guy's with Miss Hill we did the moment in time writing. This is some of our writing.  All our class mates did it.This my Brief Moment writing.

PEPPERMINT LEAVES

I was feeling a bit scared, the pressure was building on me and I started to be nervous. As I was waiting to get a piece of peppermint leaves that Miss Hill had in her hands to give them to people. So we could do the challenge. It reminded me of eating tic tacs. it was actually pretty nice some people didn't like the peppermint leaves.

My face looks like I enjoyed it and so does Suzanna’s face.
