Cake Making

On Thursday we made a sponge cake for free choice. The people who wanted to make it got to do it. We all got to help make the cake mixture we all got a turn at mixing it all together. Once the mixture was ready it had to go up to the staffroom to bake to eat. The cake was yummy after it was made.

Mountain Biking Fact File

We mountain bike because we like to have lots of fun and get fit. Also it makes us active by biking.

We mountain bike goes on mountain tracks, around farms and even deep in the forests.

People like Sarah Walker go B.M.X biking but mountain bikers like Andrew and Matt Gunn love mountain biking. Sometimes they are even track makers.

To make the track you chop down a couple of trees and then with a piece of heavy machinery they flatten the ground, but leave a few bumps and jumps in it. To ride a bike, push with your feet and steer with your hands.

Instead of mountain biking you can forest biking which is literally the same but when you forest bike you are surrounded by wildlife

Chris Gurney visits our school

Chris is a famous Author who wrote the series of the Kiwi              Corkers. She based the series on stories such as Cinderella and turned the series into a Kiwi version so made it into Cindy and the lost jandal and she turned Jack and the Beanstalk into the Trev and the Kauri tree. It was really funny when some students acted out Cindy and the Lost Jandal. Chris told us about the process of making a book and that the publisher chooses the illustrator. We loved it that she came in and spent your time with us.

Natalie's Inference Presentation

In Reading time twice a week I have been working with Miss Gleeson focusing Inferencing.  Here is a presentation of my learning from the past two weeks.

Life Education

On Wednesday RM9 went to see Ben at the life education truck.  He taught us about the Head Hassler and the Mind Master. These are imaginary thoughts in our head. The Head Hassler gives us bad thoughts and the Mind Master gives us good thoughts. Then we started watching a video about a boy called Jake Clark. In this video Jake gets bullied and his Head Hassler gives him really annoying thoughts like ‘this will be happening for the rest of your life’. We learnt we should always listen to our Mind Master when things get tough in life.  At the end he gave us some work of drawing our own Mind Master and Head Hassler. It was awesome!!!
