Culture

Our learning focus for PBL this term is about cultural stories.

Hi welcome back to my blog. This week for PBL we are learning about our culture. After school we had to go home and ask our parents what culture we are from if we didn't all ready know. My parents told me that I have some  Irish,English and a little bit of Maori. The Irish myth is the myth of the leprechaun. I  don't really have any traditions in my family. The food in Ireland is soda bread I wounder if its made out of soda?. In Maori some of there food is potato and kumara.

What's your culture and do you have any traditions?

The Meerkats

 This week we have been learning about speech marks and apostrophes.

The Meerkats where eating dragon fruit "Yuck" said the smallest meerkat. The biggest meerkat said "Yum".
The wisest and oldest meerkat said "This fruit has been around for years it's about to stop growing".
The queen of meerkats said "Make sure all the dragon  fruit trees are coped down at once".
The the fattest meerkat said "Your queen  why do we have to cut down all the dragon fruit trees".
The queen got really rage and screamed and screamed " have you not been listing!!!!! The dragon fruit trees have become possinus Does that answer your question" The fattest one said " Yes" 

  The middle meerkat said "What are you talking about it's so sweet it will rot your teeth".

What other  punctuation could I put in my story? 

Healthy Harold

A couple of week's ago the life ed van came to st Francis of Assisi school. Each class had two workshops. My class learnt how to read how much of everything is in something like a chocolate bar. We also learnt about kindness and did a play on it. We all had 1 card to focus on. I was in a group with Neila and Harriet. Our play was about a boy called Cory who  wanted some chocolate milk but the school didn't have any left. The life ed truck sent us back to class with a booklet that had a lot of activity's  to do. That really kept us busy. I hope you enjoyed my blog about the  life ed truck.


Have you ever been to a life ed truck?

What would you choose out of these 4 things?

Drink to think think to drink

This term we have been doing think to drink to think. It is were you have to drink a whole bottle of water before lunch that is the challenge.  Why I think this is a good thing to do in school is because some people don't drink water but now we are challenging you and everyone to drink 1 whole bottle of water before lunch. This is a challenge for me because some times I forget to drink out of my drink bottle.




These are the

We all have different sized drink bottles

Here are the drink bottles we drink out of

Play Eat Learn

                                                       Play Eat Learn


          This term we have been doing this thing called Play Eat Learn.  It is where you play and then you eat inside with anyone you want and sometimes we listen to books or we chat to friends. We started this at the start of term three. My plus about this is that we get to make new friends. What I find interesting is that we get to read and eat at the same time or we get to talk. My minus is that we don't get to eat outside.




                                         The play eat learn time table

Maths has changed because we added one whole workshop to maths. My plus about having three workshops  is that we can finish our follow up sooner and that there is only one workshop you can have each day. My minus is that we have a lot of follow up. What I find interesting is that we can sit anywhere at any time.
