Dear Ms Parks,

Walt: write a letter to Ms Parks

Thank you for helping so much. You taught me how to write properly. Since you have been coming to our school and teaching my teacher what to do I have been writing even better. I’m sure that I can write a whole page story accurately.

The video clip that you sent to my teacher to watch was interesting. After watching it a few times we had to describe it, then we had to write a paragraph about it. When you came to me I was stuck. You said “ use the words that you have and let it make sense.”
I said “Okay.” When I finished my teacher gave me a great comment.

In the Diamante poem it was about verbs, adjectives, nouns and adverbs. I thought it was hard. You said to just do it the same way as the 4x4 poem. I it seemed to become more easy for me to do.

The 4x4 poem was cool because we could describe anything that you wanted. It was the same as the diamante poem so it was easy to do. I like the 4x4 poem because it’s easy to do, simple and fun.

You also did attributes with us. My attribute was loyal. I asked you how to write about it. You said go look in the dictionary these words that I didn’t even know that was words. I now look in the dictionary if I ever want a word or two. You said that attributes were something that represents you and I didn’t know that, so you taught me something.    

The last thing I want to say is thanks for being the best teacher ever. You would always come to our school and teach us when you could be doing something nice. Hope you can come back next term.

Yours sincerely

Lauren

Last week monday, the year 7's and 8's went to sports camp in matamata. The camp we went to is called Totara Springs ten minutes away from the town centre. This is Norma, Margaret, Lana, Toke and me serving breakfast on tuesday morning. There was spaghetti on toast, cornflakes, rice bubbles, weetbix, muesli, peaches, yogurt and porridge. I was serving cornflakes and rice bubbles. I really loved it there and can't wait to go back next year.

Walt: study my e-asttle results.

This is my e asttle results that I got. I am over the moon with my results. In my e asttle test I got just above the national standard. I got a 3A which means level 3 achieved. In my to be achieved I only have 7 things to be achieved. I also have the same amount for my Gaps and that’s what I really want to achieve those. In my statistics I got a 5B which is quite good because the last test I got a 2A so I have really taken a big step. I am happy that I got that and now I can do more to get a greater result.

New flag for New Zealand

Walt: Find the flag we like.













The flag I like the second one. This is the flag 
that I would like to see waving around New Zealand. It has a very distinctive look to it that makes It stand out for me. I’m quite  glad that It still has the stars on it which I like the most. Then the big white fern is my favorite of the flag because it’s like there's a bit of sport in it. I chose this flag because It looks like the current flag. The colours are what I really like about it. I don’t know why we're changing the flag but we have to. It represents us because it’s native patterns on it is how I think it represents us.

Converting fractions to decimals

Walt: Converting fractions into decimals.

My score.PNG

In this game I had to convert a fraction into a decimal. In this picture I got the equivalent decimal to this fraction. I found out that I really knew the fractions with the numerator 10, 100, 1000 and 10000. I was proud of myself for getting 20 out of 20 as my final score. I really liked this game and want more like this.
