Term 2, Week 1 2021 During Term 1 we have been practising our addition and subtraction knowledge through the online programme called NumBots.  At the start it was super easy but progressively got more challenging. I am now on   chrome   level of NumBots.   I enjoy NumBots because it helps me with my maths. What I find challenging is knowing all the hard stuff. This week we have started TTRockstars.  This is an online programme which helps us to learn our timetables. First we had to complete 10 Studio games which were really hard because they had basic facts right up to 12 x 12. Now that hard part is over we can play in the Garage and start learning our tables. I think that TTRockstars will be awesome.

 Today it was play,make,create. I made Mrs Mac something to brighten up her day.

Last Thursday we had a Whetu Fun Day as our camp was postponed.  Our teachers planned a fun day for us instead!  We participated in a Whetu Amazing Race, a range of different fun rotations, a BBQ lunch and play on the council playground then we finished the day with an Easter Egg hunt and an ice block. My favourite part of the Amazing Race was going running all over Ngatea. I came 7th place after the code cracker that i did in my group. My group was called the silver ferns. The people that was in my group. There names are Lara, Heidi, Shannae, and Melissa. The rotation I enjoyed the most was spending time with my mum for art we did Picasso bunny. During the Easter Egg Hunt I found my stick on a fence. It was a yellow ice block stick. The one all the way down the flied.

I made a tree with two doors and a stair case with a colourful background. Here is a photo of it.  By Sarah Garland        

 Today i made a gruffalo on google drawings and scratch. I made a game on scratch  it has a mouse, fox, owl, and a snake. It has code too, it only has animals on the game. There is a forest in the game. By Sarah Garland.

  Monday was our school Swimming Sports. On the day I came 4th Place at Swimming Sports. We had two art sessions this week and last week.  In literacy this week we have a worlds worst teacher in our literary books. Part of our maths programme is NumBots and I think I am good at NumBots.

  The most interesting/fun thing we have done during class time this week is takaoa on the playground. We started our art this week and I have chosen to do art with Mrs Kennedy/Miss Mac/Mrs Heaven and Mrs Loft.  Our art is going to be self porait of ourselves. We created our Whetū stars on Thursday and they look amazing and good.  Next week we have our school swimming sports. I am feeling exited and nervous.

Someone who has helped me with my learning this year is Mrs Mac doing maths. The most interesting/fun thing we have done during class time is Numbots because its fun. The most fun thing that I have done at a play or lunch time this year is Playing with Uvini and Eva because they are my best friends. One word that describes learning in Whetu is Study ladder. Something I am looking forward to is Writing a spooky story.
