Kenn Nesbitt

We have learned about  Kenn Nesbitt who is a poet. We all did it with Mrs Swinburn. We went onto his website and read some of his poems and then we wrote our own poem.

Dragon Clip Art

Today Mrs Minehan talked to us about the images we use off the internet. We learnt that it is best to create our own, so she showed us how to download an image from the Explore tool onto Google Drawing and then we made it our own by using the Polyline line tool to draw over it and colour it in. It was so much fun. Have you ever made your own images like this?

I liked doing this because it was fun using poly line and and colouring it in with lots of different colours. 

Autumn Leave Sun Catchers

The other day Mrs Swinburn told us to go outside and find some leaves and then we brought them in and let them dry. Then we got paper plates and painted the rim of the plates. Next we let the paint on the plates dry. After lunch we cut around out the middle of the plate. We got our leaves and then Mrs Minehan got a laminated pouch and I put my leaves in it and then laminated the leaves in the puch. After that we sellotaped the laminated leaves on to the rim of the plate. The final step was to add some string and then Miss Saddler hung them up.

Science Experiment

Today at school we did an science experiment. We put water in a cup and then we put food die in the cup and last of all we put white flowers in the cup. The flowers weren't changing that quickly so Mrs Swinburn added more food colouring. We have been waiting all day for the flowers to change colour and now they are starting to change. After the weekend when we came back to school on Monday the were mainly all coloured. Have you ever done a science experiment?

Peer Mediation

We were learning about conflict with Mrs Zuckerman. She said that conflict isn't always bad. I had so much fun. I have a question for you have you ever had to get a peer mediator and ask them for help?

A Great Classmate

We were learning and writing about being a great classmate. I think it was fun because we got to talk and learn about being a great classmate. I could improved by getting more words and find my own ideas to put on my own slide instead of telling everyone. I could work better if I stopped talking to my friends and get on with it.

All about Me

This is the first week in my new class. My teacher is Mrs Swinburn and I am in Ruma Piwakawaka. I have shared some interesting things about myself and made a self portrait using the tools on Google Drawing. Are you in a new class this year? Have you ever tried to make a self portrait on Google Drawing?
