Athletics

This week was the day that we have athletics. This year the whole school went down to Anzac park. The first event was 1000 meters. I came 5th but I felt that I could go a lot longer. My favorite event was discus or long jump in discus I through it quite far and in long jump I came 3rd equal with a friend of mine.

Friday tests

This week for the Friday test I got better typing test speed but I got worse kiwi kids quiz results.

Reading Reflection.

This week for reading we were finishing last weeks activities. The activity was to see what the authors purpose in the book was to do. Here is what I worked out. My answers are in red.

Topic reflection

This term for topic we are working on water safety. One of the activities was to read sentences about water safety in Maori but underneath it told you what it meant. Here is my work.
          

Wonder

Wonder is a book that is written by R.J Palacio. It is about a boy named August that is facially deformed. August has been home schooled all his life because his parents thought his appearance was too much for other people and they might also be cruel to August. But they finally decide to send him to middle school when he is about 11. The principal (Mr Tushman) organizes a few people to help August get use to his new school.  Most of them struggle to adjust to August's face, but some get used to it and become his friend.  The purpose of this book is to show that you shouldn't judge a boy by what he looks like. 

Friday tests

This week I bet my tying test seed and time but I didn't beat my kiwi kids news results.

Word work

This week from the word work box I chose Vowel circle wich means that you write your spelling words and then you show wich ones are vowels.
