Today Mrs Raj taught us how to measure and make a net to create a 3 dimensional shape.
I made a triangular based pyramid.
My triangular based pyramid has 4 faces, 6 edges and 4 vertices.
I could use my triangular based pyramid to store my marbles.
I enjoyed learning about 3D shapes and creating one.
I had fun with Mrs Raj.

The amazing story about Henry the explorer!

Henry the explorer by Mark Taylor

I wrote a new ending for this story. Hope you like it

Henry loved exploring in jungles and forests with his dog Angus. Henry and Angus went to explorer the forest for a very long time and his mother was very worried. It was a dark night and Henry was still out there, but Henry could not find his way back home. So his mother went to look for her son Henry. The  search team said that Henry shouldn’t have been going exploring in this time of hour but they wanted to help anyway. The search team followed Henry’s footprints leading them to Henry who was creating a sculpture of a baby bear and lost track of time. They took Henry back home and his mum relieved and happy that he came back home safely.

She was talking about sugary food so we can’t get decay which means rotten teeth so we have to eat healthy food so we can be fit. Mrs Cythia told us that coco cola has 16 teaspoon in . We looked at some pictures of the sugary food and healthy food even we saw some question to ask to the dental clinic owner or the dental nurse. It was really fun learning about new things.

Claire's Secret Ambition!

Claire's Secret Ambition!

At the end of the story Claire didn't enjoy herself that much   and Claire decided to ask her mother if she could be a film star, so her mother says yes. Claire didn't really want to be a vet. They had forgotten everything about the secret ambition. Claire perhaps wanted to be a famous brain surgeon when she grows up. Claire's mother nodded her head really dreamily and Claire has a good natural talent in heart. Claire went to the studio to become a singer or dancer.

 Vet Woman!

Our amazing visit to Glen Innes Library!

On Wednesday 5 August 2015, room 7 went to the Glen Innes library to visit the people from the Auckland and they were our kaiako. We were learning about the myths and legends. 

• We were  looking at some weapons that Maori people use and they were rakau and patu. They splitted us in to 2 huge groups for our play. My group was the Turehu and were were doing some cool defends moves with our long rakau. The Turehu leader told us to be confident. We were doing some pukana real loud. Room 7 students were in the story, but the best part of it was that and Danny was the prince and Amelia the princess. Our kaiako were telling the story so it started of by the handsome prince Danny that went to the river(awa) to get some ika, kina, tuna and kutai, but then the princess Amelia went to the river(awa) to get a kina, tuna, kutai and ika. The leader of Turehu saw prince Danny came with princess Amelia and the patupaiarehe knew that the Turehu took they princess and then we had a battle at waihorotiu, but the god of the volcanoes and earthquake who is the ruamoko were talking to the two teams to stop fighting each other and prince Danny and princess Amelia got married and had a lot of children. So Turehu and  patupaiarehe were a big family and lived happily ever after!
