COOKING GROUP(Vegetable group)

 This week I joined the cooking group.

On the first day we got some sheets of some cooking rules that we had to follow to be safe in the kitchen and we went over all of those rules.

On the second day we chopped up all the vegetables that we brang and started to prepare them and when I was done I got to do a word search that had some “Cooking/Food” words.

On the third day we started the cooking process in the morning and by the middle block we got to try the soup and we got some bread on the side with it.

The part I liked the most was the taste of the soup because it tasted super nice and I think that the pumpkin flavour came through the most and it was very potent.

Overall I think that I would give the soup a 7.5/10 because although it was good I think that there was a lot of random things in the soup that made it taste kinda weird.

FAMOUS IN NZ(Valerie Adams)

For the past few weeks we have been working on some literacy rapu on a famous person from NZ.

I think that the hardest part was decorating the printed out sheet because I messed up a few times and then ended up having to change my design because of all the muck up's.
I think that the easiest part was writing it all out because I already had a planing sheet that helped me get it done quicker.

I think that this was a fun activity but I don't think that I would want to do it again.

This is a picture of my sheet.

MATHS INVESTIGATION(Clockwise turning)

 For this weeks maths investigation we had to cut out some little pictures of animals and then glue them on clockwise and for the other sheet you had o glue them on anti clockwise.
I don't think that any part of it was hard and in fact it was actually quite relaxing so i made sure to take my time. 
I think that the easiest part was gluing them on because all I had to do was find out which way it was clock wise and then glue it on.
I think that this was my favourite maths investigation because it was really fun and I got to do some relaxing after all of the hard maths mahi.
This was my work.

POP ART(Butterflies)

For the past term or so we have been working on Pop Art! You had to choose what you wanted to do and I choose to do butterflies in a 4 square kind of context.

I think that that hardest part was trying to outline some of the lines with black because I was so scared that I would ruin it with the black.
I think that the easiest part was the brain storming because I knew that I wanted some sort of animal and or bug.

I think that the best part was drawing it all out on the sheet of paper because that's when i saw the picture starting to come together.

I think that this was a very fun piece of art to do because I got to use a lot of colours and I learnt about the colour wheel.

This is my piece of art that I made.

CROSS COUNTRY(Reflection)

This year I participated in the NPS Cross Country held at school on the Ngatea Domain.  I ran in the 10 year olds age group.

I am most proud of the effort that I put in because I think that I worked very hard and I am pretty proud of the place that I came.

I think my effort towards our training at school was really, really good because I tried my hardest and I got to have a lot of fun running the track.

I showed the Learning Power of Resilience by not stopping when it got really, really hard and I persevered through it and in the end I got it done and it was a really fun experience. 

 

MATHS INVESTIGATION(What is a net)

 For this weeks maths investigation we had to make 2 nets which are flat 3D shapes that can be folded to make a 3D shape.
I did the cube and the hexagonal prism and I think that they where both pretty fun.
I think that the hardest part was gluing them because I had some trouble with getting both sides glued in at the same time and I kept on accidentally breaking them by pulling to hard while gluing in the other side.
I think that the easiest part was cutting them out because that's what I'm pretty good at and all of the cuts where really easy. 
Here are my shapes.

FRIDAY WHETU CHALLENGE(The Simpsons)

For this weeks Friday whetu challenge we had to choose a group of cartoon characters to make and my group chose the Simpsons although I wanted to do Peppa pig but I ended up just having to suck it up and go with it.

I did Lisa and I didn't end up finishing it because I didn't have enough time and I missed out on 10 minuets of finishing time because of hockey and I didn't know that if you hadn't finished it you could have done that instead of D.E.A.R.

I think that the hardest part was tracing it because It kept cutting of at random points for no reason so I ended up having to try and cut the head in half but I never ended up being able to get the second half of the head on which was a little bit upsetting but you win some and you lose some so I guess that I lost this round.

I think that the easiest part was nothing because It was all really, really hard and I had a lot of technical issues with it which ended up effecting it a lot.
Over all I don't think that it was the worst challenge but it wasn't my favourite and I think it was Ok.
I had some fun but not too much because I was the only girl that never finished so I think that's why I didn't have that much fun. 

This is where I got with my character.

VOCABULARY(Word search)

As I said in my first blog post today Mrs Kennedy wasn't here so Mrs Fraser gave us 2 worksheets to do and this is what the 2nd sheet was about.

For this sheet we had 2 columns of questions that we had to answer with words that where also provided for us in three mini box's like the ones in the newspapers.

I think that the hardest part was matching all of the questions up with the words because some of them where really, really hard to find put and some of them had multiple words that could have fit in.
And the easiest part for me was.... to be honest nothing because it was all pretty hard but I did end up finishing it up in the end.

Anyways I still really enjoyed doing this sheet and I am glad that I got it done.
This is my sheet.

MATHS(Emoji code breaker)

Today Mrs Kennedy wasn't here so Mrs Fraser gave us some work sheets to do this it the Maths sheet.

All we had to do was solve some easy maths questions and the letters corresponded to specific numbers that had letters and you matched everything up to get the 2 sentences they where "A smile doesn't cost anything" and the second one was "Turn your frown upside down".   
I think that the hardest part was finding the letters that matched up with the numbers because I had to look around for a lot of letters and I couldn't find HALF of them but I ended up finishing it all so that was really, really nice.

I think that the easiest part was the maths questions because they where simple plus's and minus's but I do have to admit that I got stuck on about 1 or 2 questions because I think that I was over working my brain.

Anyways I think that this was really fun and I would defiantly do it again if I had to.
This is my sheet.

 

MATHS INVESTIGATION(Symmetry)

For this weeks Maths investigation we had to show of our symmetry skills.

I think that the hardest part for me was defiantly the sharpie phase because I already had all of the lines and if I messed it up then that would mean that it wouldn't look correct and I did end up messing up just a little bit but it was fine because I don't think that it makes it look that different.

The easiest part for me was sketching everything out because I like to think that I'm pretty good at symmetry, I think I was half right because It looked pretty good and I think that it looks the same on both sides.

I also did an extra one the flower and I think that I did a really good job.
