Wk 1 Term 4 Excellence Award

Well done to Thaleisha who received an excellence Award for her effort to master new maths strategies in ACE and in class.

Halves

Today we learnt about halves. First we had to find half of a circle, square, rectangle, hexagon and a triangle, then we had to work out a half of some numbers. Ms K had a bonus question which was finding half of 462. Harold got the answer correct! We are practising halving big numbers which have even numbers in them like 682, 448.

Romanian Art: Costel Larca

Romanian artist Costel Iarca captured attention on the international art scene for a patented application technique that leaves the canvas textured and three-dimensional. This procedure involves layering latex caulk and acrylic paint, giving depth and definition to the surface of his unique abstract and figurative paintings. We used one of his pictures to inspire our own creations. Didn't we do an awesome job? Come visit LZ4 to see our portraits.

Happy Birthday Thaleisha

Yumbo Gumbo Soup

We have been reading the big book Yumbo Gumbo soup. On these cold winter days a bit of soup is always warming. We each brought a vegetable and ended up with kumara, potato, carrot, capsicum and onion. We put bay leaves, peppercorns, an oxo chicken stock cube, a packet of gravy and a can of tomatoes in too. We cooked it for five hours in a crock pot. It smelt yum and kept the learning zone warm. Then we all tried some. Some of us thought it was yummy and ate it all up and others of us did not like it.

Chinese Dragons

The dragons have spikes and scales of a snake and cat whiskers. They have the legs of a tiger and claws of an eagle. They are sharp. They can fly in the sky and they can swim. They live on land. By Harshil


In Chine there are special dragons who are the guardians of China. Each dragon lives and guards stuff in China. There are metal dragons who protect jewellery. Next water dragons live in the water and protect China's sea monsters. Fire dragons protect fires and blow the fires out to keep China safe.  By Andre

Shrek the Sheep

Shrek was a very old sheep. He was famous. He was found in 2004 and had a lot of wool. It was sad for New Zealand to see Shrek die last week. He is being kept in a freezer because they do not know where to bury him. By Romana

The holidays

Today we wrote a recount of our buddies holidays. We had to remember to write in the third person.

During the holidays Tanisha went to the pools. She went with her brother and her Mum. Then she went out of the pool and jumped into her teacher's arms. By Thaleisha

Connor is my buddy. He went to Queenstown and threw a snowball at his Dad. He went one more time to have fun and make a snowman. Then he went home and had pizza. By Andre

During the holiday Xuan went to her Aunty's house. They ate porridge and some tomato with eggs. She got her nails painted, She was happy and then she went home. By Michelle
