Some things that are hard for me are division because when you do division the answer will be tricky because of the sign. Another reason is when you do the dividing part. It is tricky.

Some things that are hard for me are being a goalie in soccer because i have to stop balls from going inside the goal. I have to kick the ball away from the goal if i catch it.
by Jamieson

Something that are hard for me are typing because when I type I awlays need to look at my fingers,so I need practice.
by Elsa

Some things that are hard for me are Lego because if i make something very interesting i show my mum but all the time it falls apart or a piece falls off and it rolls somewhere. I can't find it but sometimes nothing goes wrong. If i know if it is to be broken I ask my brother to do it because he is more steady.

Tangrams Click below to find out more.

Today we learnt about tangrams. We learnt that a tangram is made out of 7 pieces. A tangram was named after a Chinese man who dropped a tile and put it back into different shapes.

Finding area on PhotoPeach

Today we measured out a one metre square. We decided to find how many children in our class would fit inside the one meter square. We found that 15 children standing up fitted. We found 3 children doing the downward dingo pose fitted and 3 children doing the pygmy possum pose fitted. It was great fun and a good learning experience about measuring area.

Look at these photos of the Athletics Carnival that we had today. We all had a great time.

Games from the past using wool or string. Pracise your skills.

Week 4 Journal Writing : It is important to tell the truth and not lie because..

 It is important to tell the truth and not lie because if someone finds out and tells your parents you will be punished. By Meldaan


It is important to be honest and not lie because if you lie people might think it is true when it isn't. lying can become a very bad habit because when you start to lie you will do it again and again. If you lie to another person and the person will spread the news but then yo tell everybody that it is not real. By Evie
It is important to be honest and not lie because if you lie and a teacher already saw you and told your teacher she will already know you're lying. Don't lie anywhere or any time other wise you'll get in trouble.
By Om
It is important not to lie because If you lie you could be in serious trouble so don't lie. If you lie and blame it on someone else then that person will get into trouble and that is not good.
When you are honest you do not get into trouble. I don't like to lie.
by Isabelle
