Elisabetta Dami

For the last Two weeks of Term 4 Room 12 have been working hard and participating on a poster. The author that we picked for our book week was Elisabetta Dami because she has been writing most of our favorite books called Geronimo Stilton. Then we finished off our book week, then Mrs Golder took the poster in the library and it is now on the wall with all the other posters. 

Star Reading Test.

Star Test

Room 12 and Room 11 students all had to do the Star Reading Test. We were all very scared because we thought we were going to fail the Test.

Firstly Mrs Golder said, “Five more minutes to go until the test begins.”

                   

Then the test began and I was so nervous and I was sweating like a dog. Then it was time to read the question and answer it. The Star test is about understanding the meaning of the word that you are reading.

Then the test was over and I was very relieved and happy that we were finished with the reading test.

We were all thinking that we were going to fail the test and I was so worried that I might get the lowest score out of my whole class. Then when Mrs Golder called out our score, I was very proud of myself. 
When I got home I told my parents what had happened and they were very proud too.

The Poetry Recital Finalist.

Last Week on Friday we had a Poetry Recital. 
We started with Room 1 and finished with Room 12. The Room 12 finalists were Florida and Elizabeth because Miria wasn't here on Friday. Then we finished our Poetry Recital with a closing statement from Mrs Vickers to all the parents who came to the Poetry Recital.
At the end of the Poetry Recital I think that all the kids who recited their poems were very confident standing in front of the whole school representing their class.

The Room 10 Syndicate Assembly.

On Monday we had a Syndicate Assembly and Room 10 was hosting it. Firstly they talked about a story then they present a work art that they made. Then we sang a song about how the All Blacks won the Rugby World Cup and the next song was about our country being the Champion World Cup. We left the multi purpose room and everyone had enjoyed the show that Room 10 hosted.

Cindy in the house.

On Monday we had to walk all the way to Pt England. We went there because we were invited to a show performed by the students from Pt England. It was their Dress Rehearsal and there were lots of schools that were invited. There were Glen brae, Puau Maori and other schools. The show was great and there were lots of students who were performing. It was a modern version of Cinderella but replaced by Cindy in the house. The main characters were Cindy and Josh. The best part of the performance was when the boys in the Gym were dancing and twerking.

My Origami

Every Friday we have been making Origami. Everyone has to make a simple origami so that we don't waste the papers. We made butterflies, dinosaurs, flowers, dolphins and other things. Last week we had to carry on with our Origami that we had been working on but it is not finished.

Daffodil Day.

On Friday it was Daffodil Day and we had an assembly.  Mrs Vickers handed out the daffodil to the people  who brought a gold coin to donate to the Cancer Society. There were lots of children  who brought a gold coin and there were also lots of children who  did not bring a gold coin.

In Room 12 we made daffodils with paper. Then Mrs Golder had to choose someone who made the best daffodil in our classroom. So she chose Mika.
