This week for play make create I worked with Maia. This week we did not have a book to base our creation on we had the word Camp. Maia and I made a mini camp ground. We have one tent, fire pit, three camp chairs, sleeping bag, pillow and a toilet. We also made mini people but they where of us and Maia's went missing so I am the only person in the mini camp ground. We used a box, paper and hot glue gun.
This week for the maths mystery we were doing a mystery about the missing Athletics trophy. I worked with Imogen. We had to do the mystery 3 times because the first two times we got the first question wrong because we did the arrows the wrong way. We found the first question the hardest because we have not learned the > and < signs yet so we did not know what why it went. Our answer was Mollie because she is a female she is in year 3 she is in them blue she has a metal bottle and her shoe size is size 9.
This week for play make create I made a Guitar because we read Giraffes Can't Dance. I made a guitar because one of the tasks was to make something that made music and guitars make music. I think my work is a supernova because I could have just drawn a guitar but I made it and it works and makes music.
Monday was our school Swimming Sports. On the day I raced in 8 different races. I came 2nd in freestyle 1 length, 1st in butterfly 1 length, 1st in backstroke 1 length, 2nd in backstroke 2 lengths, 1st in breaststroke 1 length, 1st in breaststroke 2 lengths, 3rd in the Individual medley, and 2nd in the freestyle relay.
We had two art sessions this week and on the first day in Mrs Kennedy's art group we finished off our draft and then Mrs Kennedy drew us some circles and we started drawing our landscape. On the second day we got a circle with a mountain and a sky and we had to draw some scallops and then we painted them with different shades of green.
In reading this week we have been introduced to the book detectives witch is where we predict what is going to happen next and write things about the book that we are reading. We are reading a book called the finger and we are split into groups. My group is called the Magic finger blue. We also have a doc called our W.O.W doc with stands for world of words and when we have finished wheat the teacher told us to do we can go on our W.O.W doc and write a story our a poem.
Part of our maths programme is NumBots and I think I am going pretty good because I am on Aluminium witch is the 10th level of NumBots and the questions are getting harder but there are less questions on the levels.

We created our Whetū stars on Thursday and they look Amazing. My mum came in to help me with my star witch I am very happy with because my mum and dad are never able to come to my events but on Thursday my mums colleague was able to take over my mums class. I have heaps of photos on one side witch was when I was a baby and when I was young and on the other side is more of the photos from when I was older.
